    Small hermit and soldier crabs in Malaysia and Australia build their home digging deep holes in the sand on a beach. Down in the hole the crabs make sand balls that are pushed to the surface, 2-3 balls at a time, forming a kind of sand ball flower or sand ball galaxy.

    Up close you can see the almost perfectly spherical balls that the crabs engineer. They are meticulous in their method, to say the very least.

    Just as our own galaxies are separated by space, so it is too with the tiny galaxies that the crabs make - they can extend along the whole reach of the beach.

    A HeLa cell (also Hela or hela cell) is a cell type in an immortal cell line used in scientific research. It is the oldest and most commonly used human cell line. The line was derived from cervical cancer cells taken on February 8, 1951[2] from Henrietta Lacks, a patient who eventually died of her cancer on October 4, 1951. The cell line was found to be remarkably durable and prolific as illustrated by its contamination of many other cell lines used in research.

    "Josh Williams sings Mordecai at the Doyle Lawson Bluegrass Festival at Denton Farm Park in Denton, NC on May 5, 2011. During this song, a small bird lands on Josh's guitar while he's singing. Watch his reaction as he keeps his cool and finishes the song."

    Notice how intently the little bird watches and listens to Josh !

    "Newly released images of Hells Angels taken after photographer infiltrated famously secretive club in 1965.

    Shades and beards masking their wind-beaten faces, they are the secretive men who famously sneer at outsiders. 
    But in 1965, the Hells Angels welcomed two Life magazine staffers into their pack to document their nomad lives. 
    Now, nearly five decades on, images taken by the magazine's photographer Bill Ray have finally been published - after Life's then-editor decided against featuring the 'smelly b*******' in his publication."
