Music, Movies, and Books

i am super curious about all kinds of music, but at the time i listen to a lot of house music with grooves and rythms from the middle east, western Africa or latin america

it is also hard to choose favourite movies or books: i've watched a million times Pierrot le Fou by Jean-Luc Godard and tend to spend hours in front of David Attenborough's BBC documentaries.
I enjoy very much Paul Eluard's book of poems etc etc

Have you ever heard of the Synalpheus Pinkfloydi or the Mantis shrimp?
the first one is a shrimp that has been discovered this year and named after pink floyd. it produces a 210db by clapping it's claw and kills it's preys by doing so (a plane lifting off is 130db and there are risks of deafness from 110!).
the second one is a shrimp usually around 5-10cm long that has one of the most elaborate visual systems discovered. they are able to see at 360° and have 16 photoreceptor types (we only have 3!), including ultraviolet and fluorescent light.
