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.

One Of My Very Own

Got this comment concerning that image:

"Are you saying that women that are photographed naked are usually sluts? 
How can you say that these 4 women photographed naked look like sluts?"
My flippant reply:
"It's called absurdity, anon. Look it up."
Then I got to thinking about a few questions that the image begs clarification or, at least, conjecture. Does a bevy of young non-sluts often get collectively butt naked in hotel rooms or offices or whatever that is in broad daylight? 
Do non-slut young women then stand out on the balcony of a downtown building staring down on god knows what - maybe...probably, men staring up at them? 
Do you suppose this is their first time out of the public nudity gate, as it were, or do they all show up for regular naked balcony sessions at the Holiday Inn like a clandestine If You Have It Flaunt It Tuesday? And do you think their boyfriends or husbands know? Do you think alcohol is involved?
And lastly, do these paragons of virtue always make plans to take along a photographer to document all their wholesome non-sluttiness or was that a spur of the moment decision just to spice things up?

There, that's absurdity, anon, and now you don't have to look it up.

JUST PLAIN GOOD IDEAS

Weeks ago I posted a clip of an alligator who scooped up her babies in her mouth and took them to the pond.

I commented about images like this and wondered how the camera got in its mouth.

Well, they devised a robot spy among the babies.

Earlier this year, researchers at the University of Tokyo accidentally created the strongest controllable magnetic field in history and blew the doors off their lab in the process.
As detailed in a paper recently published in the Review of Scientific Instruments, the researchers produced the magnetic field to test the material properties of a new generator system. They were expecting to reach peak magnetic field intensities of around 700 Teslas, but the machine instead produced a peak of 1,200 Teslas.

I have never seen anything like this before.

GETTING MORE LEARNT

How big are the Pyramids of Giza?
I watched a documentary which was rather convincing that the middle of the pyramids is filled with packed rubble, which answers many of the questions.

Wasabi (ワサビ or わさび(山葵, earlier 和佐比); Eutrema japonicum or Wasabia japonica)[1] or Japanese horseradish[2] is a plant of the Brassicaceae family, which also includes horseradish and mustard in other genera. A paste made from its ground rhizomes is used as a pungent condiment for sushi and other foods. It is similar in taste to hot mustard or horseradish rather than chili peppers in that it stimulates the nose more than the tongue.

The coolest thing about Mr. Wizard is that he started his first science show in 1951, and it ran until 1965.
I used to love watching the kids' reactions.
Some were terrified.

Taking ships overland was done several times throughout history. Lewis and Clark even did it. There were boats built to break down into pieces to facilitate such overland sojourns.

Everything you call a miracle, I call magic. But it was just god who could perform such magic. The King of Egypt had magic men who could turn wooden staffs into snakes, just like Moses. I was about 9 years old when I detected this plot hole and asked my mother about it. She explained it perfectly with "God works in mysterious ways."
