Yes, Davos, the playground for rich and famous today was once home for desperate tuberculosis patients seeking a cure in sanatoria

Elon Musk tried to get the same hair plugs for his pubes and it got infected and that’s why his dick’s all weird. Damn near took all his pubic tubercle and everything just collapsed inward like a cake from a too-hot oven from there

A tubercle is when several potatoes are in overlapping non-monogamous relationships

While the venomous spines of puss caterpillars are hidden under soft fluff, the venomous spines of Io moth caterpillars are easy to see. I appreciate a caterpillar that gives fair warning before it stings.
A close up view of caterpillar spines. The whole insect is lime greens there are rows of tubercles coming off of the caterpillar’s back and maybe 50 skinny spines combining off of each tubercle, spreading out in all directions. This leads to over-lapping spines between clusters on each tubercle in a town and between rows of the ends of each spine come to a very tiny point that is dark red in color.

And here's another for all the ventral striatum / olfactory tubercle folks. It's hard not to love the Calleja and interface islands.

Juravenator had some clearly sharp toe claws, where the D-2 claw is much larger than the others and bears a prominent flexor tubercle. The D-3 claw also has a strong flexor tubercle, while the D-4 claw does not.

Woe betide any small animal that got pinned by this thing.

Haha, I can tell you probably the strangest book I cataloged was Huber the Tuber, "an imaginary tubercle bacillus whose adventures in Lungland are described and pictured in this book"

Ok, cool. What's your weirdest interaction with a book? No, that sucks. Give me a second. Uhhhhhhh -- If you were to beat your worst enemy with a book, which would you choose? Yeah, good one, Marzano.

Today I helped the archaeologist dry screen some backhoe piles in a Pueboan site for faunal remains and I found a salamander atlas! ID’d by bicondylar anterior articulations, notochordal centrum, and presence of the interglenoid tubercle (dashed line). #FossilFriday 🧪🦖

Delighted to find my first Norfolk Homalenotus quadridentatus. A small juvenile under a brick in the gardens at Tacolneston Hall, found on a visit yesterday with Norfolk Fungus Study Group. This is a very scarce species in Norfolk. #Arachtober #Opiliones #Harvestmen #Arachnids
A small harvestman on the underside of a brick. The harvestman's body is patterned in dark and light squares with rows of raised tubercles. It has a horn like tubercle projecting from the front of the carapace in front of the eyes. The legs are covered in fine spines. A small harvestman on some moss.

There are some absolute units of Missouri pincushion (Escobaria missouriensis ssp. missouriensis) in the Flint Hills. In winter they dessicate, causing the stems to retract below the surface & leaving just tubercle tips exposed. Also protects them from fire...in the dormant season or during drought.
Escobaria missouriensis after an early spring burn in the Flint Hills, KS. You can see the singed tubercle tips. Escobaria missouriensis blooming in the Flint Hills, KS. Escobaria missouriensis blooming in the Flint Hills, KS

A tarantula, likely Texas Brown Tarantula (Aphonopelma hentzi) against blue grey wood trim. She's very hairy, abdomen like a bearded pecan, eight segmented legs like telescoping pipe cleaners, a cluster of eyes, much smaller than you'd think at the center and top of the head Closer shot of the tarantula, coffee brown with tan highlights on the head, body hanging low surrounded by legs coming up then back down in arcs Crop closeup, the cluster of eight eyes in shallow focus, aka the ocular tubercle, the head is fuzzy compared to the coarse larger hairs also in focus on a nearby leg segment
