FOLIO OLIO: MONDAY #2440

One Of My Very Own…

(I really think that very funny)

Well, not everyone is taking this election seriously...

And who exactly is Deez Nuts?

What must the world think of us?

Oh, here's news from the world now...

And...

From a real study...

Productivity slumps after 40-50 hours of work a week. It's the historically-emergent standard for good reasons, because the quality of work simply goes to shit when people work too much.

My wife went to a rally tonight...

Standing room only. She got there an hour early and the line was down the block.
And this is he taking advantage of the free breakfast at the Holiday Inn where he stayed.

My wife liked that he's low rent like the rest of us.

That incident on the French train could have been a real bloodbath. I hope the rest of the world learned from the example of the foilers.
This quote from the older man who rushed the attacker says it all: "I realized I could die sitting down or I could die fighting for my life. I chose fighting." The whole world ought to have that tattooed on their arms.

And they all...ALL thought they were doing right.

Only psychopaths do wrong and know it.
And most of the evil-doers think god is on their side.

The Loving family. Just 45 years ago, 16 states deemed marriages between two people of different races illegal. But in 1967, the U.S. Supreme Court considered the case of Richard Perry Loving, who was white, and his wife, Mildred Loving, of African American and Native American descent. The case changed history.

One shoe on and one shoe off.

On a related topic, I've been invited to my first gay marriage. If I went to any weddings, I would go to this one. And interestingly enough, one of the guy's last name is Husband....I swear.

The 10.5 feet by 11 feet oil painting was commissioned for the Contarelli Chapel in the church of San Luigi dei Francesi in Rome, where it has been proudly exhibited since its completion, probably in 1599 and 1600. He probably traced it using camera obscura.

What a great photograph.

Every time I see something like that I think of this.

The man who fell to Earth.

And when I think of that, I think of this.

And for one reason or another, this sign was deemed necessary...

Language correction...

AND...

Do worms have buttholes?

That's scary. I mean if you happen to be the last person holding a fake bill, you lose. And remember, the collar and shoulders on the portrait are textured to be rougher than the rest of the bill. Try it yourself.

I endured some time in Goose Bay, Labrador, officially classified as a Polar Tundra.

During SAC's tenure, over 12,000 American military personnel and family members lived on the base. The far northern location resulted in long, very-cold winters. It was not the most desirable duty. (that was the biggest understatement I've ever heard)

In one of those buildings I lived. When it was 56 below zero you walked down four flights of stairs and moved from building to building by way of very, very long tunnels. It was my job to sweep those tunnels.

Listened to a good Tedtalk.

It basically said that in twenty years ANYTHING that can be done by a robot WILL be done by a robot. This will create a huge new class all over the world...the Useless Ones. It could be as many as 20%.
You might want to think about that.
I predict that there will be another class created and that will be a huge number of security personnel to keep those Useless bastards from storming the gates, as it were.

Think about the absurdity of the logic.

Moses came back with the ONLY known artifact produced by gods hand and then...smashes it in a fit of rag. I can deal with that. But what about the pieces? I mean, if you KNEW that the fragments had been touched by your god a day or two ago, wouldn't you...I don't know...PICK IT UP AND KEEP IT UNDER YOUR PILLOW OR SOMETHING?
Then the second set of rules comes down and you put it in this ark. By your reckoning it is the most important object on the earth. So what do you do? You let some guy steal it! Come on.
And with so much written back then, NOBODY took credit for stealing it. Wouldn't you think a general would want something like that on his resume?

The article said that every year since they have started measuring this, the date has moved earlier and earlier.
To be honest, I don't know how they measure this, but it seemed legit.

The U.S. is the world's ninth-biggest resource hog, using 310 percent of its capacity for resources, Global Footprint Network data shows. Top offenders are the United Arab Emirates (750 percent), Singapore (590 percent) and Belgium (460 percent).

And what do we do with all those resources?

Some days, random people appear more flammable.

I respect this guy so much I almost didn't post this...

But I so love irreverence.

Want to guess what this is?

Found round things. My great-nieces and nephews collected sand dollars on the beach and displayed them thusly.

And it's because of those animals that she isn't speaking German right now.

True: A young woman was telling a group of us bar stools that she was off to get some more work done on her tattoo. I asked how much she expected to get done and she said, “Well, I don’t know. It’s free so I can’t demand too much when it's free.” I said, “Yeah, it’s like sex with the wife.” A good time was had by all.

Is Nefertiti entombed behind Tutankhamn's burial chamber?
