FRIDAY #2189


A beautiful song to scroll with...

NEWSY BITS...


Homing in on Philae's resting spot...

500,000-Year-Old Shell Engraving by Homo Erectus Is Oldest Known ‘Art’...




The zigzag shape of the etching indicates that the "artist" gave purposeful, careful attention to the abstract pattern. Neuroscientist David Edelman spoke with New Scientist and said, "Whether the zigzag pattern had a specific meaning or was merely a sort of doodle seems irrelevant. Regardless of intent, the very process of rendering a geometric form would seem to indicate the workings of a mind no longer tethered solely to the here and now, but capable of a uniquely abstract form of conscious 'wandering'."

One Of My Very Own that I think is very funny...
And then, this...

 Beavers. What can I say? In some places, anyway, I was told they are protected, no matter how much damage they do...

I wonder how many non-nerds will understand why this is funny...


I don’t get out of the fetal position often, but when I do, I immediately regret it.





I got so high last night I had to turn down the TV because I couldn’t taste my tongue.





The secret of a happy marriage remains a secret.




What were these people thinking?

 This is Canada...


Ever done anything embarrassing? Have you tried dwelling on it forever?



Think about how confused wild animals are when they encounter glass.

The more things change...

(The Onion?)

Not understanding the problem...
Try not to ask stupid questions.
Well, at least we need more poets. I like poets.

I saw this mural...
And wondered what his famous formula looked like written in his own handwriting. So, I looked it up...

I would have thought somebody would complain that it was a health hazard.

No day is so bad it can’t be fixed with a nap.




One Of My Very Own...


This is me...
My wife found it. It may be hard to believe, but I was getting fuck regularly back then.



All of us have had embarrassing photos taken of us at odd times in our life...
...but I never thought she would let this get out...


What?


 It's all about wall preparation...
Notice that the white paint stuck to the yellow paint, but the yellow paint let go, taking the white paint with it. This is almost always caused by moisture migration through the brick.

Hearts of Stone...

Black and white photography...

I think this is what it seems like it is...


I don’t trust anyone who smiles before 10 am.

Are you in charge of being an asshole? Cause you’re doing a great job.

Hearts of Stone? I see a mermaid, with arms crossed defiantly and a haughty cant to her head.
Maybe it's just me...
