Do you ever start bullshitting a paper, and then look over it halfway through and think, ’…Wait a minute, I could be onto something here.’

this is the definition of college.

Literally I was writing a paper on Asian salt water crocodiles, like a simple about them paper for a college class, and I started noticing some inconsistencies in the scientific papers I was sourcing and I accidentally discovered that the crocodile has been misdiagnosed as least concerned on the endangered species list when they should be classified as endangered and now my professor is having me write a formal report to the international Red List to have them reclassified and all I wanted to do was write this paper on an animal I thought was cool and now I’m considered an expert on this species…

this is how it works half of esteemed biologists trip and fall into their specialty while pursuing something else. one lecturer i just went to started as a biochemist researching antibiotics and discovered that crocodiles change colors based on environment and now he has 30+ crocs in his yard for research purposes and he’s just like… “wait… i’m a chemist…”

How did so many people end up with crocodiles on accident?????

(FYI the man, Gesicht, is also a robot, just far more advanced)

Pluto is an amazing work in general, but this early scene stuck with me hard for how perfectly Urasawa communicated the sense of loss and sorrow without resorting to traditional visual cues of emotion for the robot woman’s reaction. It’s one thing to convey the loss of a loved one, but it’s a whole other thing entirely to convey it with a character who can’t physically emote and still have it work flawlessly.
