Bashir: An arboretum. For Keiko, I presume? To make her a little happier now the school’s been closed down.
O’Brian: It’s not just for Keiko. I mean, it’d benefit the entire station. Do you think it’ll work?
Bashir: Absolutely. For about two months. Then you’ll be right back where you started.

i am so fucking tired of ‘but where’s the brigadier and all the unit guys and jack harkness’ comments on my giant TARDIS lineup i could fucking scream
makes me wish i’d never done the thing
“‘And you can’t get away from it that, fundamentally, Jeeves’s idea is sound. In a striking costume like Mephistopheles, I might quite easily pull off something pretty impressive. Colour does make a difference. Look at newts. During the courting season the male newt is brilliantly coloured. It helps him a lot.’
‘But you aren’t a male newt.’
‘I wish I were. Do you know how a male newt proposes, Bertie? He just stands in front of the female newt vibrating his tail and bending his body in a semicircle. I could do that on my head. No, you wouldn’t find me grousing if I were a male newt.”
‘But if you were a male newt, Madeline Bassett wouldn’t look at you. Not with the eye of love, I mean.’
‘She would, if she were a female newt.’
‘But she isn’t a female newt.’
‘No, but suppose she was.’
‘Well, if she was, you wouldn’t be in love with her.’
‘Yes, I would, if I were a male newt.’
A slight throbbing about the temples told me that this discussion had reached saturation point.”

I have come to much the same conclusion, my friend. At first it was practical ‘hiding in TOS’ gear and then it was true love.
the waitomo caves of new zealand’s northern island, formed two million years ago from the surrounding limestone bedrock, are home to an endemic species of bioluminescent fungus gnat (arachnocampa luminosa, or glow worm fly) who in their larval stage produce silk threads from which to hang and, using a blue light emitted from a modified excretory organ in their tails, lure in prey who then become ensnared in sticky droplets of mucus.
