Today I learned that cuttlefish experience REM sleep, and that it makes their skin flash random colors. This is the cutest thing ever.
The electric eel at my aquarium has a voltmeter attached to his tank, and whenever he pumps out a burst of electricity–either when he’s navigating his tank or getting fed–the meter lights up and makes noise. Sometimes, I’ll walk past him when he’s snuggled up and totally motionless on his log, and see the voltmeter going crazy.
I am left to assume that he is dreaming, and is sleep-zapping at the things in his dreams.
I am absolutely delighted to learn that electric eels dream of kicking ass.

Thank you very much for Good Omens. It was everything I hoped it would be and so much more❤️. Should I get my hopes up about a sequel/ second season? Or is it something you’re not interested in doing?
neil-gaiman answered:
Right now, I just want to recover from two years on the road actually making Good Omens, and get back to a novel I stopped when Good Omens got the green light and I had to become the showrunner. So it’s not lack of interest as much as it is lots of interest in what I ought to be doing.
willyouboyhow asked:
Crowley's flat in the book is big, modern, white and seems uninhabited. Why was the decor changed to something dark resembling a....temple?
neil-gaiman answered:
The Production Designer felt that the flat described in the book was the flat Crowley would have had in the 80s and 90s, but that these days gleaming white places are a little old-fashioned, and Crowley’s place would have kept pace with the times, and been a bit more concrete slabby.
drawnecromancy asked:
My friend brought to my attention that Crowley's wings were white in the book, and that it was explained why. She was shocked to see that his wings were black in the series, so we thought that we'd ask you : why are Crowley's wings black ? Is it because there was no time to explain in the tv series ? (also, great job on the adaptation ! my family and i are at episode 3 so far and loving it. My dad appreciated that Cro/Az's romance is way more clear than in the books !)

robins-deactivated20191226 asked:
When I attended your event in Austin a few summers back, you read us an excerpt from the Good Omens screenplay that didn't make the show. Thugs attempting to strongarm Azeriphale for his copy of Agnes Nutter's book. Might there ever be a general availability of this sort of material? Stuff that there was simply no room for? In closing I want to acknowledge and thank you for all you've created and all that you will create!
neil-gaiman answered:
I thought that a lot of those deleted scenes had gone into the book, but they went into different editions (and there are a few scenes, like Victorian Aziraphale back when he used to try and sell books) that didn’t go anywhere. I may try and put something up on Neilgaiman.com with some of the missing scenes in it…
Whoever said Cthulhu isn’t appropriate for summer? No one. No one said it. So, say hello to our new Tropicthulhu Rosie Dress.
