FLY ME TO THE MOON

NEWSY BITS

That really upset me until I read that they were targeting child porn.

SCIENCE AND STUFF

Life-Size Camel Carvings Found in the Saudi Desert.

Archaeologists estimate the reliefs are 2,000 years old but are unsure what culture made them.

That is amazingly detailed.

===

Whale Graveyard in the Atacama Desert, Chile.

===

Does anybody know what the hell this is?

Said to be a new organism.

===

Salvador, Brazil

I will admit that if I saw something like that I would shat myself.

I wonder if someone in the future will discover Disney World ruins and deduce that it's a temple of some bizarre mouse worshipping cult.

LANGUAGES

BEING BRITISH: A TUTORIAL

[ RH: In the American South, "Bless her heart" meaning that poor bastard.]

OTHER QUOTES FROM FOREIGNERS

===

===

In A Berlin Metro.

The text on this bag reads " This text has no other purpose than to terrify those afraid of the Arabic language".

===

And...

I found that laugh-out-loud hilarious.

===

===

===

There will always be people telling you what you can and can not do with your own genitalia.

===

<>

Apparently you can't use "beefsteak" as a password. It's not stroganoff.

PEOPLE BEING CREATIVE

Wow! I love it!

===

===

A teacher in a village in Ghana teaching computer without a computer.

===

Too creative for your own good.

<>

I'm no marine biologist, but I think "put it back in the water" shouldn't have taken too long to stumble onto.

<>

TO DO OR NOT TO DO, YOU DECIDE

===

Permanent testicular trauma is a small price to pay for a giggle.

===

Full contact fishing...

Two fishing boats racing to the best fishing spots.

===

People who choose to live in such an environment....

===

What do you think is going on here?

When your elite mixed martial artist wife could kick your ass, but everyone probably thinks you kicked hers.

===

Human beings are hardwired not to kill each other.

A person inflicting violence on their fellow man is restricted by their empathetic response. This is a person's natural reaction of horror, instinctively imagining what it would be like if it happened to them. They look at their opponent and see someone not dissimilar to them and can't help but mimic their terror. This has been tested neurochemically. The brain lights up when attempting to inflict harm in areas that create strong negative emotions for the perpetrator. This is the key limiting factor that prevents everyday killing.

Soldiers don’t want to kill, but this is how you get them do it.

I took too much NyQuil and now I'm falling asleep on the toilet. My legs won't move. This is how it happens. Please lie when people ask how I died.

ON A PERSONAL NOTE

I used to make fantasy cities like this on large graph paper.

I had stairs, ladders, slides, elevators, etc.

Even secret trap doors.

===

When I watch a movie I pay attention.

Do you remember in the movie "True Lies" Arnold's daughter stole the key to the detonator of the nuclear weapon, then ran away, leaving two agents who took out the crew with a gun secreted in a camera? Well, why didn't those two agents simply shoot the device rendering inoperable?

In another movie a mysterious person extends the lead in a pencil toward a sleeping man's eye.

Notice that the tip is flat.

Then this view shows the tip chiseled. 

===

When things go terribly wrong I have a tendency to laugh.

===

I'm not big on being interrupted in any form.

===

Oh, fuck me...

===

I take a long time to warm up to people.

===

I know a couple of suicidal people and I'm so scared they end it all and I will regret forever not saying the right thing at the right time.

Like this:

What a wonderful young man.
And remember...

===

I am not a vegetarian.

===

I love friend chicken.

===

I could never bring myself to sit with my dogs when they were put down. Just couldn't do it.

===

I do not have all the answers to our political problems, but I do believe that the system is broke and needs to be changed.

<>

Life has never given me lemons. It has given me anger issues, anxiety, a love of alcohol, a serious dislike for stupid people. But not lemons.

===

I contend that attempting that was a mistake, whether he made it or not.
