A 13-year-old boy was charged (as a juvenile) with second-degree assault for open-mouth kissing a 14-year-old girl on a dare during school hours, on campus.

Is this positive or negative?

I've altered my font size. I noticed there was some problems with cell phone viewing. We shall see.
As amazing as it is that the builders of Stonehenge
dragged those stones in place, even more amazing is that some son of bitches
dragged some of them AWAY!
Oh, I understand later civilizations toppling the stones
of an offending ancient religion. We see examples of that today with ISIS. But
those bastards spent the same energy to remove the stones as it took to get
them there. I find that hard to fathom. But then we know that the British
hauled statues, mummies, and anything else they could get on a ship out of
Egypt. Americans dug up Indian’s burial mounts and took whatever was in there.
Nazis plundered art from all over Europe. But none of that was done before the
invention of the wheel and none of it weighed 40 fucking tons. Anybody out
there want to help me understand this?

There are hundreds of found safes on line and none of them have panned out so far...until this one.
Guy was putting in a new floor in a house he bought.
Found a floor safe with $51K in it.
And this. The seal is still unbroken.

The sunbather waved to the drone. If he was jacking off, then somebody ought to take away his man card.

What a wonderful idea.

Forest Service officials
estimated that a roll of the multiple-ply foil costs $398.
What about that ticking bomb sitting twenty feet from your bedroom? The gas tank.

Then there was this:
World record: Tesla P85D
driven 452.8 mi on a single charge. But they didn't go from point A to point B. They found a perfect road and
drove up and down it.
And while we are talking about the great man...
In 1922 Tesla’s favorite
pigeon flew into his room – described as a beautiful, pure white bird with
light grey tips on its wings – Tesla felt the bird was trying to communicate
something to him, that it was dying. The grand claim is then made by Tesla that
a light more intense and greater than any lamp in his laboratory flashed from
this pigeon’s eyes before it died. Though we may never know if this pigeon
actually performed this angelic feat before Tesla’s very eyes, Tesla all the
same claimed that at this time he felt that a light went out in his life and
his life’s work – that of one of the greatest inventors mankind has ever known
– was done. Brought to an end by the death of a pigeon.

Well, of course they do.

This is, beyond question, the master. He makes up the clues I send you from time to time.
I read a book about him and since he was a kid he wanted to work on crossword puzzles.
By the way, if you get a puzzle accepted to the New York Times, you get $600 for weekdays and $3000 for Sunday. In my opinion, that ain't enough. But it was explained that these people did it for fun anyway, so the money is just gravy.

I'd like to think the aluminum foil would help, but it takes 3 things to create fire: oxygen, heat, and fuel. If the fire got close enough to the wrapped house, it would still ignite. Just not sure how far away from a flame it would be protected. While it's true that direct contact with flame would keep the house from burning, but the house is still filled with oxygen and fuel. If the outside got hot enough, the inside would ignite.
Maybe, just maybe, it is some sort of thermal blanket. At the least it would keep flying embers from setting the roof on fire. But then the propane tank is a whole nother horse of some other color.
Even then if a hot enough ember landed on the roof, it could catch the roof on fire. I'm not saying this wouldn't work, but it's a best case scenario.
Is there a safe way to bleed a gas tank like that in case of emergency?
Bleeding tank - I think it would depend how breezy it was. If there was still air it would just sink to the lowest level (I think). I think we can both agree that the blanket is better than nothing.
