Best Speech You Will Ever Hear - Gary Yourofsky

Chitin (C8H13O5N)n (/ˈkaɪtɨn/ ky-tin) is a long-chain polymer of a N-acetylglucosamine, a derivative of glucose, and is found in many places throughout the natural world. It is a characteristic component of the cell walls of fungi, the exoskeletons of arthropods such ascrustaceans (e.g., crabs, lobsters and shrimps) and insects, the radulae of molluscs, and the beaks and internal shells of cephalopods, including squid and octopuses. The structure of chitin is comparable to the polysaccharide cellulose, forming crystalline nanofibrils or whiskers. In terms of function, it may be compared to the protein keratin. Chitin has also proven useful for several medical and industrial purposes. In butterfly wing scales, chitin is often organized into stacks of nano-layers or nano-sticks made of chitin nanocrystals that produce various iridescent colors by thin-film interference: similar, analogous structures made of keratin are found in iridescent bird plumage.[1]

In case you missed it, August 22nd was Earth Overshoot Day, so it's time to celebrate! Just kidding, this is terrible news. Every year, Earth Overshoot Day is a day in which the planet begins to use more that it can regenerate in a year. So it isn't so...

Thank you very much, I haven't even gotten a chance to remake the costume and cosplay now that I've lost all the weight and starting getting abs lol. I've been thinking of deleting this account because I wish tumblr would let you change your primary account but it doesn't. So in favor of the importance of my other blog, I'm going to let this one go soon, so that its no longer my signature when I'm on on tumblr. Wish tumblr would fix that already. But thank you so much regardless. If you'd like to follow me still and see further picture of me and my life, feel free to follow my main blog ecoalternativeliving where I talk about life as I'm experiencing it and the things that I'm learning about our world.
