A Sea of 4.5 Million Baby Blue Eye Flowers in Japan’s Hitachi Seaside Park
Hitachi Seaside Park is a sprawling 470 acre park located in Hitachinaka, Ibaraki, Japan, that features vast flower gardens including millions of daffodils, 170 varieties of tulips, and an estimated 4.5 million baby blue eyes (Nemophila). The sea on blue flowers blooms once annually around April in an event referred to as the “Nemophila Harmony.”
If you plan on visiting, the park offers a great English language flower calendar to help plan your trip. You can see many more photos of the grounds here. (via Bored Panda)

Grotesque wonders by Francesco Albano.
Engraving: J.D. Cooper, 1883
“In his 1595 book Demonolatry, which largely replaced the Mallueus Maleficarum as the handbook of choice for the European witch-finders in the 16th century, the French magistrate Nicolas Remy told the story of Petrone Armentaruis and Joannes Malrisius. Inspired by jealousy of a neighbor’s flocks, the men would tear up some grass, throw it against the trunk of a tree, and say a spell. Immediately a demonic wolf would spring from forth and carry out a vicious attack on the designated sheep. This, they confessed, they did often.”

Awesome!
this is the kind of fucking bullshit I’m taking about.
what happened in roughly 1870 though
why was there temporary internet
with a few people searching for pokemon?
It’s a search of Google books, but the question still stands, what the Fuck happened in 1870
I CAN ANSWER THIS!!
In the Cornish dialect of English, Pokemon meant ‘clumsy’ (pure coincidence).
In the mid 1800s there was a surge of writing about the Cornish language and dialect in an attempt to preserve them with glossaries and dictionaries being written. I wrote about it HERE.
I just love that this post happened to find the ONE HUMAN ON THE INTERNET who had the answer to this question
