What's happening over the water? Pictured above is one of the better images yet recorded of a waterspout, a type of tornado that occurs over water. Waterspouts are spinning columns of rising moist air that typically form over warm water. Waterspouts can be as dangerous as tornadoes and can feature wind speeds over 200 kilometers per hour. Some waterspouts form away from thunderstorms and even during relatively fair weather. Waterspouts may be relatively transparent and initially visible only by an unusual pattern they create on the water. The above image was taken earlier this month near Tampa Bay, Florida. The Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Florida is arguably the most active area in the world for waterspouts, with hundreds forming each year.

More Silly Schoolbook Drawings from Japan

School books aren't for studying, you know. They're for drawing goofy pictures in. Because that certainly makes class time fly by.

Previously, Kotaku introduced some of Japan's wonderfully wacky schoolbook doodles. Sometimes, people draw over existing images or fill in what's missing, while other times they go as far as erasing the original image to complete their amusing tableau.

Be warned that, as with many doodles, there is some immaturity! But, really, that's the point, no?

Zoom away! I'm ressive how far you can zoom and still see detail.
