Dance, Drink and Do Good at Physical Action Tonight

It’s freezing. There are signs/sales/stories reminding you what presents you should be buying for people that you can’t afford in your grill constantly, and you are probably busier than ever trying to get enough work done to take time off for the holidays. You know what you need to combat this

Carnivorous Nights: the Secret Science Club’s Annual Taxidermy Contest

Taxidermy is one of those things that people love or hate. I freaking love it, even though I’m a vegetarian. There’s just something so fascinating about seeing a natural thing in an unnaturally still state. Also, it’s the best way to get up and close to a tiger without getting
