Yeah, to my American ears it's one of the most soothing accents out there. I'd probably do the same for Jeremy Irons and in a perfect world Jessica Henwick. 
Man I must have been high last night lol. Forgot the all time great Bob Ross!

*edit come on dude get the right Bob lol

Did you know? That the disease, ebola can all be traced back to a single tree.
This tree was deep in the darkest patch of forest in the jungles of Africa.
Due to illegal deforestation. Lumberjacks were out working in the forest when the first one was bitten by a particularly sick and aggressive bat, that flew out from this tree…
 To this day, this is one of the most destructive diseases. We don’t know how long it was out there in the woods. If we hadn’t been chopping down the forest, it would still be waiting out there.

Originally the foot fetish was first observed during The bubonic plague. It is a mental state of still finding someone very attractive. While actually being very unattracted to the parts of them that would make you sick. Interesting, isn’t it? This was also why milk maiden’s were suddenly considered sex icons. Believe it or not. There’s actually something called cowpox. Milk maidens had been exposed to this disease numerous times because they worked on the farm. So when people started dying of smallpox. They never caught it… The perception of them being some super healthy, fertile, beautiful goddess, was based off of the fact that they never got sick from the smallpox epidemic. Isn’t that fun?

This is a method for killing the desert. I’m not talking about the naturally existing desert. I’m talking about the encroaching desert that is destroying Iceland. It is being single-handedly killed by a invasive plant called blue lupine. It produces a lot of nitrogen into the soil, allowing reforestation of an otherwise desolated area. It also happens to be quite gorgeous.
 This is still an invasive species. It does have potential for destruction as well. But I must say it is incredibly satisfying, watching something take back land from desert.
