ALL KINDS OF LANGUAGE

I will notice shit like this every damn time.

The 3 and 8 are upside down.

And...

=6=

My bartender sent me this.

I couldn't figure out why it would be considered funny, then she explained that a woman saying "My basement is flooded" means she's horny...wet "down there."

I didn't know that.

=7=

When I hear insanity like, "There's no proof the Earth is more than 10,000 years old."

I try not to be rude, but I didn't start it.

=8=

I borrowed this greeting...

I modified it to "I've finally reached my prime."

=9=

=10=

How very wonderful.

=11=

As I understand it, they bring them over on a work permit, then take their passports so they can't go home.

"Something bad is about to happen, I can feel it."

Hahahahahahahaha!

VEHICLES AND OTHER MACHINERY

Prettiest camper in the park and its roof becomes a fishing boat.

I ran across a whole collection of modified vehicles.

Then I remember that Johnny Cash used to have a half Cadillac, half pick-up truck king of like this.

Only his had a more customary bed.

=14=

Hay used to be baled like this:

And great care had to be taken to not get it wet. Excessive moisture caused it to begin rotting and would make your cows sick.

So then they modified the design and wrapped it.

But then some smart sumbitch figured out is you rolled it tight enough then only the outside inch or so would get wet no matter how long it was left outdoors.

=16=

I'm assuming that the advantages include only having to load and unload the cargo box once.

=17=

[commercial for evaporated milk]

"IS YOUR MILK TOO WET?"

I don't get it.

ANIMAL FACTS I THINK YOU WILL LIKE

The Alligator Snapper lived up to its species name by running off an 8-foot alligator. His name is "Raphael", he lives in East Texas, he's around 150 years old, weighs 300 pounds, and he eats alligators.

This is a younger kin.

The closest thing to a dinosaur you are likely to see today.

Elephants are one of only a handful of animals that can pass the mirror test - in other words, they can recognize their own reflection (and not think it’s another animal, as dogs and cats usually do). They tested this by placing a chalk mark on an elephant’s forehead and then showing it a mirror. The elephant investigated the mark on its own forehead, indicating it knew that it was looking at itself.

The only animals that pass this test are the higher primates, the higher cetaceans (orcas, dolphins), elephants, and weirdly, magpies.

The use that mark on the face trick to determine if a baby is self-aware.

=19=

Reindeer are the only deer species where both males and females grow antlers. The males shed theirs the beginning of December, the females shed theirs in the spring. So all of Santa’s reindeer are girls.

=20=

Bonobos, our closest genetic relative (they are more closely related to us than they are to either chimps or gorillas) are almost entirely non-aggressive, matriarchal, and use sex to solve all their problems. They engage in both same and opposite-sex interactions, non-penetrative sex (oral, rubbing, manual) and with any age.

=21=

"One-fifth of all the known mammal species are bats."

I wonder what percentage is rats and mice. And there is no clear distinction between the two except for size and there are no set rules on that.

=22=

"People often think that flamingoes’ knees bend the wrong way. They don’t - the joint you’re seeing in the middle of their leg isn’t their knee, it’s their ankle. Their knee is up by their body, and it bends the same way ours does."
