I SEE DEAD PEOPLE
This beautiful child was killed by an abusive husband.
The world needs more men like this guy.
This is Khaled Asaad he was
the head of antiquities in Palmyra a Unesco World Heritage Site in Iraq. He was
captured last month and refused to reveal where the treasures of Palmyra were
hidden to ISIS interrogators. For this he paid with his life as they beheaded
him yesterday he was 82 years old. Before his death him and his family were
able to evacuate many of the treasures from the museum of Palmyra into safe
hands. He died a hero by laying down his life so that his people's history will
not be forgotten or destroyed and for that I want to thank him.
This man may die soon.
On a side note, during Carter's administration one of my paintings (of my daughter in a school desk) hung in his Department of Education.

Of the top half dozen ways to forestall dementia, here are two of the best.
Crossword
Puzzles - remain the go-to cognitive exercise, with studies showing a strong
correlation between the habit and delayed onset of dementia. But the problem
with crosswords as a memory and overall brain booster is that you can get too
good at them: If you’re able to put your pen down in record time, you’re
probably not giving yourself enough of a challenge. Try alternating crosswords
with other word-search games to keep your brain engaged.
SUDOKU -
This number game has been a staple of newspapers for years, and for good reason.
By having to keep a series of numbers in your head while mentally “rehearsing”
their placement in the nine-space grids, you’re relying heavily on working
memory. But bear in mind, Sudoku is believed to be most effective early on,
before your brain has gotten used to organizing the numbers. If it gets easier,
it’s time to try something new.
I'm very good at both, thank you very much, but I still can't remember my wife's dildo size.

Lewis and
Clark discovered all kinds of things on their journey across America-the giant
Pacific Ocean that even the native people hadn’t noticed before, the very first
McDonald’s location, and about $.75 in change that had fallen out of some guy’s
pocket.
But they
went on their Expedition to do more than discover stuff, and one of their most
important jobs was to sketch the wildlife they saw along the way.

Recognize this guy?
He was born in Germany in
1829, came to America in 1847 to escape religious discrimination (family was
Jewish) & to work for his brothers' dry goods business in NYC. In 1853, he
went west & started making heavy-duty work
pants in the 1870s...known as blue
jeans.

Albino
ravens are some of the rarest birds in existence; this bird was believed to be one of just four albino ravens in the entire world.
So, what do we do with such a fabled rare creature? Shoot it, of course.
A bullet

though there wasn’t much blood, Pearl died on the way to the vet.

My daughter liked this image.
She said that despite the pedestrian nature of the artwork, that it was better than some gray filthy alley.
Here's what I think. How much pride can you take in a name? Look at that stuff. Had these same people been asked to read poetry, it would read:
Bob, Bob
Bob Bob Bob Bob. Bob Bob Bob; Bob Bob Bob Bob Bob Bob. Bob Bob Bob Bob Bob Bob
Bob Bob - Bob Bob Bob Bob Bob.
And afterwards all his little friends would applaud and tell him how clever he was. Then John would stand up and do the exact same thing.

From an article I read:
From an article I read:
The
deadly infectious diseases that were eradicated in America during the 20th
century are now roaring back, thanks to growing poverty, failing sanitation,
and underinvestment in science and health research and regulation.
Chagas,
hookworm disease, cysticercosis, and chikungunya -- just to name a few. They
cluster in the American south and southwest, and disproportionately effect the
poorest Americans, who are usually also the brownest Americans.

The
Apollo 10 astronauts are probably the fastest humans in history — but for how
long?
The
current human speed record is shared equally by the trio of astronauts who flew
Nasa’s Apollo 10 mission. On their way back from a lap around the Moon in 1969,
the astronauts’ capsule hit a peak of 24,790mph relative to planet
Earth.
(In NASA-speak that's "hauling ass."

So, how many nuclear weapons are there?
According
to the Federation of American Scientists, the United States has an estimated
inventory of 7,200 nuclear warheads, with 1,900 of them strategically deployed.
Russia is estimated to have around 7,500 nuclear warheads, although the total is uncertain because there is no accurate count of tactical weapons. Of these, an estimated 1,750 are strategically deployed.
France has pared down its arsenal to approximately 300 nuclear warheads.
Britain's
nuclear stockpile consists of about 200 strategic and "sub-strategic"
warheads on four Vanguard-class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines.
China is
estimated to have about 250 strategic and tactical nuclear weapons, and stocks
of fissile material sufficient to produce a much larger arsenal.
India has
at least 100 warheads.
Pakistan
is believed to possess a nuclear inventory of just over 100 warheads.
North
Korea tested its first nuclear explosive device in October 2006 and its second
in May 2009.
Israel is
widely understood to possess a sizable nuclear arsenal but maintains a policy
of nuclear ambiguity.

Sea silk
is an extremely fine, rare, and valuable fabric that is made from the long
silky filaments or byssus secreted by a gland in the foot of bivalve mollusks.
The cloth
produced from these filaments can be woven even finer than silk, and is
extremely light and warm; however, it attracts clothes moths, the larvae of
which will eat it. It was said that a pair of women's gloves made from the
fabric could fit into half a walnut shell.
The
byssus is the tuft of filaments at the far left of the mollusk.
And just how the hell did the first person learn to do that?
Seriously.
Seriously.

I have never understood spirituality.
I guess Spirituality is just regular religion for people who don't like being told what to do. But as far as I can tell it still relies on your belief in a magic invisible man in the sky.

Yes, the spirituality thing really gets me. And no one wants to touch that with a 10 foot pole so the "I'm Spiritual Not Religious" folks never get quizzed on what the hell that exactly means. What's the difference? Do you believe in Spirits? Ghosts? Is it just a way to not get called an Atheist?
