Whether you love Arnold Schwarzenegger [wiki] or hate him, you have to wonder how an Austrian action-hero movie star / former Mr. Universe got elected governor of the most populous state in the U.S. without any experience that would qualify him for the job. Connect the dots to find Arnold groping a nearby female, draw a picture of yourself between Arnold and George W. Bush, color in the governor as “Conan the Barbarian”, drive a Hummer through a maze from Hollywood to Sacramento, and more. Great drawings, hilarious real quotes that we couldn’t make up if we tried!

Male walruses don’t reach sexual maturity until they are four years old. During that time, they are most likely exclusively involved in same-sex relationships. The older males are typically bi-sexual, mating with females during breeding season and copulating with other males the rest of the year. Males rub their bodies together, embrace each other and even sleep together in water.

This picture is a visualisation of the entire tree of life. The tree of life (cellular organisms) has three main branches:
* The bacteria (unicellular prokaryotic microorganisms) which are in focus in this picture and represented by orange nodes.
* The archaea which are probably more closely related to the eukaryotes than they are to the bacteria even though they lack a cell nucleus and represent some of the most extreme forms of life on earth. They are represented by red nodes and near the top and in the background of the picture
* The eukarya (all cellular organisms with a cell nucleus) represented by yellow nodes and are located on the left hand side and in the background of the picture.
