The history of Mesopotamia in a 10 minute cartoon for adults? Yes please!
Former mental_floss writers John and Hank Green have started a new nerdy thing on YouTube, and it’s pretty great: Crash Course is a series of educational videos covering World History (John) and Biology (Hank). The production values are high (including animation, HD, all that good stuff), and each video is about ten minutes long.
So without further ado, I give you Crash Course #1: The Agricultural Revolution.(via)
Not a history of Mesopotamia…it’s about the Agricultural Revolution, but I <3 Mental Floss so it warms my heart to see the sexy John Green again!

“They had squandered far too much of the priceless time that had been granted them, wasted it on bitterness and guilt and futile quests for nonexistent answers—-when they themselves… their love for each other, had been all the answer either of them should have ever needed.”
Another of my top favorite books…
Brb. Flying to Europe just to buy a frieking strawberry.
I love living in Europe
I am too alone in the world, and yet not alone enough
to make every moment holy.
I am too tiny in this world, and not tiny enough
just to lie before you like a thing,
shrewd and secretive.-Rainer Maria Rilke
From now on all I’m going to care about is not caring about anything.

The Real Katie West: Neil Gaiman, I love you, and I'm not wearing any clothes.
If you think seeing a naked woman
is a disappointment
because what you had imagined was so much
better than what was there, may I suggest looking at it in a new way.Maybe instead of pondering
the tentacles and mouths beneath
her clothes,
you could ponder the bright things
that lurk beneath…
How to cherish your love…
