One Of My Very Own
WE DIDN'T START THE FIRE

I've been known to pee on all the jellyfish at the beach preventatively.
THINGS THAT I WORRY ABOUT
Do you have a right not to be offended?
We are rushing down a very dangerous path.
We don't burn books...yet...we just ban them from schools. We should have learned a long time ago that once you start censoring, then it is very hard to put that evil genie back in the bottle.

Is there such a thing as too large a military?
===
I will admit that on 9/11 the first thought I had was that our borders would be closed immediately. Boy was I wrong.

The Sin, Heinrich Losslow.
Painting from 1880, recently exhibited at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.
As if it needed anything else to be condemn for, religion is a huge reason that otherwise normal people deny climate change. It has something to do with god creating an imperfect world, which, to them, isn't even conceivable.
But we already knew religion and logic parted ways long, long ago.
I have talked to many a man who told me that they don't believe shit, but they go to church to appease their wives.

I'm not sure there is a grand conspiracy to keep women out of the sciences. I mean, NASA, IBM, Google doesn't give a shit if you are male or female if you make them money. And if women don't elect a science major, whose fault is that?

After losing 10 lbs my wife called the DMV and told them to send a new license with her updated weight. Didn't work.
RATHER GOOD IDEAS

Todd Hazelwood's BJR Commodore was doing 184KPH at point of impact, and went from 184 to 0 in 0.6 of a second. A testament to safety measures in modern Motorsport. Got out of the car under his own steam, was cleared by medics and then raced his other car in the Dunlop Super2 support series 40 minutes later.
Credit the design of the fence.

I'm not waiting until I'm a ghost to tell people to get out of my house in a creepy voice.
FOOD
Eggs over-difficult...
I imagine that is much more difficult than it looks.
===
I once had one of these for lunch and another for supper.
And then there's this...
===
Probably military.

"Friends"
I only put that there because it's in a kitchen.

A snail bet me $100 he could get home before I could and I didn't really think it through properly. Can anybody lend me money?
PLACES OF INTEREST
Sacred Pool, Turkey
This pool is full of Roman columns and old remains of the fallen city of Hierapolis.
===
I'm not sure I understand that.

You ever seen anything like this before.
I haven't.
But if the number of photos are any indication, it happens all the time.

An ad for an English language school in Croatia.

The Plaza de Colón in Madrid Was Built From Top to Bottom.
No word as to why.

Putting water on some chemical fires is the exact wrong thing to do.

A gentle reminder that as a duck billed platypus both lays eggs and produces milk, it is unusual in that it could make it's own custard.
PEOPLE DOING STUFF ON THE INTERNET
Woman gives out only yards from the finish line.
This lady had another strategy...
Red shirt, black pants, same plastic fence, gravel path...you think it's the same woman?

Little Girl Asks For A Real Kick while sparring , And Gets It.

Something oddly similar...

What fun.

Customers in Wales lining up outside Starbucks; the barista who writes the names on the cups starts hyperventilating and looking for an exit.
LANGUAGE

Guy stole my name!

"There's a sleeping person. Let's go ask them questions." – all children

Guess who.
And because of that one photo I have decided to grow my beard out. I'm just tired of looking like a well groomed old man.

I'm really liking your newish section about things at which you are forbidden to laugh.
Keep up the good work.

Thank you, Paul. People like you make it all worthwhile.
Do you feel safe with all the $ spent on defense? I don't. US combat ships running into massive transport ships 10 x their size. The excuse, our ships are stealthy. No explanation as to why WE DIDN'T see them.
I raced 7 Mackinaw races (Chicago to Mackinaw) we had no radar on a 43 foot sloop. We could hear the freighters coming for miles as we closed in on Mackinaw straits.
Las Vegas…one hour and 12 minutes from the start to the end. SWAT no sniper rifles? They can hit a target 1.5 miles away. Was 2 blocks away with obvious breached windows.
Do u feel safe?
Heh, the "Folio olio" guy's in a game I play, EVE Online. I mailed him asking whether he reads the blog and will let you know if he replies (he no longer play).
My bet is he does not. Folio Olio were crossing answers in a NY Times crossword once, so it's kind of common...I guess.
How have you been? Drop me an email and let me know all is tolerable.
