In the eighteenth century,
philosophers considered the whole of human knowledge, including science, to be
their field and discussed questions such as: did the universe have a beginning?
However, in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, science became too
technical and mathematical for the philosophers, or anyone else except a few
specialists.

Uniform regulation in the
British Army between the years 1860 and 1916 stipulated that every soldier
should have a moustache. Although the act of shaving one’s upper lip was
trivial in itself, it was considered a breach of discipline, punishable by
imprisonment, an especially unsavory prospect in the Victorian era.
My team of investigators here at the Folio Olio Research Lab delved into that by looking for Victorian Era soldiers, and, by George, I think it's true.
Also ran into the facial hair ratio of American soldiers in the Civil War...

If a problem has no
solution, it may not be a problem, but a fact — not to be solved, but to be
coped with over time.

Satellite pictures of a
remote and treeless northern steppe in Kazakhstand reveal colossal earthworks —
geometric figures of squares, crosses, lines and rings the size of several
football fields, recognizable only from the air and the oldest estimated at
8,000 years old.

I was going to use that to

Amidst a slum area inside
the municipal cemetery in Navotas city, north of Manila, October 29, 2015,
thousands of poor Filipino urban dwellers make their homes in public
cemeteries, converting abandoned tombs and mausoleums into houses.
They even have shops there...

I just turned my keyboard upside down, shook it,

She used Vaseline to give me a hand job. I came in the

I once read an interesting article about US time zones.
It said that the US could all be in the same time zone if you took one our way from the East and Pacific and gave it to Mountain and Central, then the next year you just combined the two. Who would miss a mere hour a year...we already are used to it.

Vehicle near misses...
A couple of observations about that last one:
Did you notice the guy had the presense of mind to take his laptop? But what is that in the corner? A sex chair?! What kind of shenanigans is that?

I am loathe to post pictures of cats, but this one is different...
Did you notice the laser pointer?
This was a gif, also, but it was too large to load. The cat searched all around that tire and never saw the mouse. Like a real life Tom and Jerry...

I bet Soft-boiled eggs, Steak tartare, Twice-baked

mistakes that clever people made and covered up.
