Denmark, particularly in Copenhagen, has installed floating platforms/islands planted with wildflowers and native vegetation in its harbors and canals. These create safe urban habitats and sanctuaries for birds, bees, pollinators, insects, and even some aquatic life. Original post

"Say goodbye to all of this... and hello to oblivion!" 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' made its debut in UK cinemas on this day in 1975.
The "Distracted Boyfriend" meme, but the boyfriend is now Brad Majors from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" (1975). The object of his attention is Dr. Frank N. Furter, who, I'm led to believe, is just a sweet transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania. Brad's girlfriend, Janet Weiss, doesn't look too happy with Brad, but I reckon she'd quite like a go on Frank herself.
