About Me

My photo
I'm an artist, educator, militant anti-theist , and I write. I gamble on just about anything. And I like beer...but I love my wife. This blog contains observations from a funny old man who gets pissed off every once in a while.

Baby Jane - Rod Stewart

 24 Hours Nürburgring 2017 - Dodge Viper was disqualified for being too loud.
When stationed in Germany I went to three 24 hour endurance races and loved every minute of them.

===
Comments may have been screwed up. I dropped my Time-Warner and all hell broke loose with my email. So, if you tried to post a comment and it didn't show up, that's why.

Juno skims Jupiter's cloud-tops

We all know that silly look we get when pretending to give a fuck while the Costco lady tells us about the free samples.


SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

===
Wait for it...
Now think about that flying over the enemy that fast.

These lanterns, some with glass panels fashioned to focus light (bottom left, center back) and others designed to scatter it (bottom center). The large one (center back), I believe, was once the core of a lighthouse.

===
Path of a solar eclipse that will cross the United States on August 21, 2017
Not sure I understand the moon shapes. I thought Columbia, SC would be 100%.

===
Paperclips resting on the floor of an electromagnetic train.

===
A Foucault Pendulum, basically proof that the Earth is constantly rotating.

It never happened. Maybe the climate change deniers remember that doomsday forecast also.

So Rick of the Walking dead was in a coma all by himself for like a month and somehow didn't shit himself? Come aaawn!


MISTAKES WERE MADE

===
I think they have done this before.
Notice how Thug 1 turns Thug 2 onto his side so he doesn't drown in his own vomit.

===
If I'm not mistaken, they have a new less intrusive test for that.

===
It's called static load and bridges do not like it.
I think it was the opening of the Golden Gate Bridge when they let people walk across it first. But they let people start from both ends, assuming they would stay "in their lane" and pass uneventfully. Well, they didn't and there was an extremely dense clog of people right in the middle. As I recall, that static load made the new bridge warp 6 feet.

===
A bad day in Nopeville.

===
My favorite picture of Napoleon.
Probably somewhere in Russia.
In the winter.

===
My favorite image of that whole awful scam.

She said with her young daughter standing right beside her. She will live to regret that.

===
Fuck the cyclist. He was in the turn lane.
I have talked to a lot of bikers and have never heard one take responsibility for a collision. 

===

===
Damn, girl, don't you have a mother?

===
To someone this means ‘A new start’. To everyone else, it doesn’t.

===
It's always funnier when it happens to someone beautiful...
I once saw a film of a football player doing that while he was doing sprints and he broke both is tibia and fibula.

I lay awake every night worrying that NASA secretly found a habitable planet but are only inviting smart people to go.


PONDER FODDER


===
I'm thinking that took more than two hands.

===
An incredibly old and well-worn road in Verona.

===
How prophetic...

Behold the prophesy.

===
See anything...odd?
Probably shopped.

===

===
From the movie I mentioned yesterday where the Earth picked hundreds of people to travel to a new Earth.

And, of course, the travelers divided into class stria early.

===
Here are two of the comments concerning Mr. Cole:
"The man at the picture is Ramsay MacDonald, prime minister of the UK (1929-1935). I am very fun at parties."

"Latest episode of "Stuff you missed in history class" is about him, great podcast! He did hilarious pranks, worth a listen!"

RH: Who really gives a shit if they used the wrong photo? Please just let errors like that ride; the image wasn't even needed for the story anyway.

My sister and brother-in-law own a donut shop that makes these.

I always loved No Bra's In Space Day!
We need more days like that.

If you tried to forget something and was successful, you'd never know.

"If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is an intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time."
- Bertrand Russell

So what, you ask. People can believe anything they want. Maybe, unless they retard the growth of our collective intelligence, like teaching children that evolution is a myth and that the entire universe is but 6000 years old. Then you are a burden.
