Let’s get down to business to defeat Amon!
Water, Earth and Fire, but there’s still just one!
He’s the biggest douche I’ve ever met, and you can bet that by Book Two…
Amon, I’ll bend the hell out of you
Fiery as Azula and as tough as Toph,
Swift just like Katara, but as Aang, I’m off
I can’t meditate or be the leaf, but with three, it just won’t do
Somehow, I’ll bend the hell out of you!
I’m never gonna calm myself!
Gotta stay with Tenzin’s teachings -
But screw the rules! Pro-bending is my jam!
This guy’s got me scared to death -
Hope he doesn’t take my bending!
Now I really wish the Equalists would scram!
I must be as light as a flying lemur,
I must be calmer than most by far!
Must keep my temper and fear no other,
And soon I will be the next great Avatar!
Time is racing toward us, ‘til Amon comes forth!
Take to heart my training, and I’ll brave the storm!
He will never have his way with us! Benders, you know what to do,
Amon, we’ll bend the hell out of you!
I must be as light as a flying lemur,
I must be calmer than most by far!
Must keep my temper and fear no other,
And soon I will be the next great Avatar!
I must be as light as a flying lemur,
I must be calmer than most by far!
Must keep my temper and fear no other,
And soon I will be the next great Avatar!
gosh a lot of tumblr users sure are passionate about boats.

The Quietest Place on Earth Will Drive You Insane Within 45 Minutes
There’s a small room in Minnesota that blocks out 99% of all external sound. That’s an impressive number! Also impressive: nobody can take more than 45 minutes alone in the room before they go nuts.The Daily Mail describes Orfield Labs’ anechoic chamber—perfect for making extremely sensitive audio measurements. But also perfect for sending you into a hallucinatory hell so hellacious you’ll need a chair:
‘When it’s quiet, ears will adapt. The quieter the room, the more things you hear. You’ll hear your heart beating, sometimes you can hear your lungs, hear your stomach gurgling loudly. ‘In the anechoic chamber, you become the sound.’ And this is a very disorientating experience. Mr Orfield explained that it’s so disconcerting that sitting down is a must. He said: ‘How you orient yourself is through sounds you hear when you walk. In the anechnoic chamber, you don’t have any cues. You take away the perceptual cues that allow you to balance and manoeuvre. If you’re in there for half an hour, you have to be in a chair.’
That sounds swell. Just the serene quiet of you, your thoughts, and the unceasing pounding of the human heart. Your brain can’t take it, apparently, and begins to fabricate sounds that aren’t really there—completely delusional noises meant to block out the churning of your own horrid biomass.
