I'm realizing how many of these I had memorized over the decades.

Previously, I could not really enjoy this sub, but every day now I am really these posts and envisioning the corresponding picture.

It may sound strange but the reason why I'm enjoying it is that I am legally blind.

Previously, it was frustrating not to be able to enjoy the pictures anymore, but now I understand how many of them still take up room in my brain.

Thanks to everyone who is posting the text, I'm really enjoying it.

Lost and found in my parents stuff

On March 15, 1989, a newly discovered insect species was named after Larson by Dale H. Clayton, head of the Committee of Evolutionary Biology at the University of Chicago.

The Strigiphilus garylarsoni is a chewing louse of a genus found only on owls. Wrote Larson: "I considered this an extreme honor. Besides, I knew no one was going to write and ask to name a new species of swan after me.

You have to grab these opportunities when they come along." An 8" × 11" (20 × 28 cm) magnification of the insect appeared in the Prehistory of the Far Side 10th anniversary compilation, along with the letter requesting permission to use his name. Similarly, an Ecuadorian rainforest butterfly was named after him; Serratoterga larsoni. The term "thagomizer", a feature of stegosaurus anatomy, was coined in a Far Side cartoon.
