Elephants and Organelles


Elephant Fact # 20: Male elephants become completely independent at around the age of fourteen.

I felt a little guilty for not updating for the month of August, so this is going to be a fairly short one.

I was going through some of my old files the other day and I found this comic that I made in Year 10 for Biology—it’s supposed to explain the functions of each of the organelles in a cell.


I guess I’m just putting it on here because I’m currently out of (usable) cartoons at the moment, so this is just a filler. I think you have to download it to actually be able to read it, though. At this stage I’d normally comment on the outta sight enthusiasm levels of my younger self—and then I realize that not that much has actually changed.

Seeing him in real life was such a surreal experience—it was as if the TV suddenly woke up and started talking. That happened to me only once before, and I was pretty sure that I was tripping nuts at the time.

But wow. I think I’m still a little starstruck, to be honest.
