Mostly a hecka lot of water.
This planet's name is awful misleading, I tell you.
See the world, they say.
Yes, I have indeed seen an awful lot of the world, and it is indeed covered in quite a bit of water.

Boy oh boy, isn't earth just brilliant?
I'll bet those Martians and Jovians and whatnot feel like a right bunch of buggers whenever they look up and see us, don't they?
To celebrate our lovely space-bound rock, I shall note my favourite part of earth: The Gomantong Caves.
My favourite parts of them are the parts that are literally covered in mountains of bat droppings, which, in turn, is endlessly crawling with a massive population of cockroaches.
Isn't earth just a jolly little diamond?
I'd like to see you fellows find somewhere more drenched in nature's beauty. Or at least, what you think is more drenched, because, let me tell you, it'll be a tough time convincing me.

Maybe I'm just close-minded, but I can see heaps of earth.
Even right here where I am.
Heaps.
The Good Buy, an online store dedicated to supporting the environment and workers' rights. Purchases also support the UUSC, which does environmental and humanitarian work around the globe with special emphasis on people and communities that aren't well served by mainstream human rights groups.
Yeah, it's pricey, but you get a lot of bang for your buck. {= )

Google have some really nice doodles for today. I think my favourite is the one with the elephant, but they are all pretty.
Anyway, speaking of the Gomantong Caves, have you seen BBC's Planet Earth? They did an episode on caves and the Gomantong Caves were in it. There's some really funny bonus material on the DVD as well. Interviews with the camera crew who talk about how they filmed that enormous pile of droppings.
I bloody love Attenborough. I've got an entire collection of his Life series. Remarkable stuff.
Mother Nature is the world's first mad scientist.
Lord knows what she was thinking when she got to the deep sea parts.
I like the octopus doodle, because it looks like it's just eaten a huge meal and is just sort of lapsing into a food coma.

This is like giving an alcoholic a credit card and then bringing them to a bar.
I think my favourite one is the velvet worm. It's more like Spiderman than most spiders are, though, I suppose 'Velvet Worm Man' just doesn't have the same ring. .
