Blissfully Unaware

fucknolaurenmartin:

Deep in the rainforests of the Indian state of Meghalaya, bridges are not built, they’re grown. For more than 500 years locals have guided roots and vines from the native Ficus Elastica (rubber tree) across rivers, using hollowed out trees to create root guidance systems. When the roots and vines reach the opposite bank they are allowed to take root. Some of the bridges are over 100 feet long and can support the weight of 50 people.

This looks awesome! I will now make sure that I will be able to go in the rainforests of Meghalaya and walk the root bridges. Engineering by nature at its best.

Once when he was a wee child, he stuck a crayon up his nose because he wanted colorful boogers. If that doesn't explain his temperament and artistry then maybe he is just neurotic. Although he does take great pride in his neurosis, which he usually mistakes for his schizophrenia.
