I should quit my job and become a turn of the century German naturalist.

After looking for months, I was finally able to find an Ernst Haeckel Chomolithograph. Although it was not cheap, there was no doubt in my mind that I had to have this. My crappy camera phone makes it look much more brown than it actually is. For a better idea of what it really looks like, see this.
