Also check out his slightly more deranged second channel, NileBlue. I love his videos because they really show the whole scientific process, errors and all

Darwin did extensive work on barnacles, and wrote to his cousin WD Fox in 1852:

I am at work on the second vol. of the Cirripedia, of which creatures I am wonderfully tired: I hate a Barnacle as no man ever did before, not even a Sailor in a slow-sailing ship.

But in 1855, he felt nostalgia for them, and wrote to Fox:

all nature is perverse & will not do as I wish it, & just at present I wish I had the old Barnacles to work at & nothing new

Yes, I went to see if there was any recent info on them, couldn't find anything.

But the crust is yummy. Americans don't value crust enough. Ciabatta is a good gateway to appreciate crust more.

Got a source? Couldn't find it, would be happy to add to article. Honestly, it makes sense that people were making white breads with high water content dough and chewy crust before. But he made it for a particular reason, named it, and it spread internationally from his example.

Yes, they're altered tube feet, which normally have suction cups at the end. Some have suction, some have little poison trap jaws!

Maybe the Pixel team didn't talk to the Maps team. Maybe they did and the maps team said they didn't care. Maybe everyone involved in all of these features has since left the company. With Google, who knows?
