One Of My Very Own…

We should have all been glad when SeaWorld decided to quit with the orcas, but they can't be released so will spend the rest of their lives in a relatively small pond.

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.

Alzheimer's cop: do you know why I pulled you over?

You know you're old when you watch a horror movie where annoying, partying college kids get murdered and you identify with the killer.

A friend sent me this and asked if I considered it serious competition...

I’m not crazy about reality, but it’s still the only place to get a decent meal.

I was going to use that to reenforce the Climate Change argument, but it's been known to happen often.

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...

Rush hour in Copenhagen


The Dutch minivan

I would like very much to know if all that exercise results in less cardio trouble for Danes.

Ralph Movie SHOT…."Let Us Prey." Do not watch this movie!

I just turned my keyboard upside down, shook it, and a taco salad fell out. At least it tasted like a taco salad.

 A REAL HEADLINE:

(I have pretty much never been less surprised by anything)

She used Vaseline to give me a hand job. I came in the shower 3 times trying to wash it off.

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.

The engineers here at the Folio Olio Better Mousetrap Shop have been busy of late...

I just had to post this again...

 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...
Did you see the mouse?

I bet Soft-boiled eggs, Steak tartare, Twice-baked potatoes, Sour cream, Calzones, and Pineapple upside down cake all started as mistakes that clever people made and covered up.
