GOOFS IN MOVIES

When Indy is nursing a drink after thinking he’s just lost the love of his life, a man in jeans and a T-shirt walks by. Locals in Cairo, Egypt in the 1930s did not dress that way.

Wristwatch in Glory

Mel Gibson’s Scottish war epic is as iconic as the Scottish kilt — which didn’t come into fashion until the 16th century. is set in the 13th century.

RH: Picky, picky, picky.

The women in Schindler’s List were all portrayed with smooth legs and armpits, but the women in concentrations camps would, of course, never have been given access to razors of any kind. It’s a commonly overlooked mistake.

RH: I would have noticed that.

There are a plethora of mistakes in The Wizard of Oz, but one of the most annoying is Dorothy’s hair: It keeps changing lengths! It goes from medium to extremely long in alternating scenes, and sometimes even alternating shots.

‘Django Unchained’: Sunglasses Were Not Yet Invented.

In the duel scene in the second Harry Potter movie, there’s someone who’s definitely not a child standing among Harry’s classmates. It’s a crew member! The editor darkened the background enough that he can barely be seen. By doing that, they reasoned, they wouldn’t have to reshoot the scene, but he is definitely still visible if you know where to look!

Of course, some "mistakes" are staged for comic effect...

God: Oh shit.

Angel: What?

God: I just realized I've been leaning on the frog button.

UNUSUAL ANIMALS

The water holding the shape of the hoof.

Ever sneezed so hard you got knocked off balance?

How stoned is the brown dog?

This took me a minute...

Clip of the rescue is reversed, of course.

Ferrari Twin Turbo Engine in a Mustang

This is a clip that came with the image above.

Hahahahahahahaha!

My wife spent the day removing $1.6 billion worth of stuff from her Amazon shopping cart.

MANLY SKILLS AND STUFF

Amazing.

Note the expression on girl on right.

You can do that. Let me know how it worked out for you.

But he ain't going to outrun the radio.

I'm assuming they have the same number on the other end of the cables.

A man must learn how to drink responsibly.

Negoiating the romance game starts early.

But with hard work you reach sexual Nirvana.

I'll just let this speak for itself.

Me: Accept your flaws. You’ll feel better. It worked for me.

Wife: You accepted your flaws?

Me: No. I accepted your flaws.

CULTURAL ISSUES

People seem to only see the bad stuff.

For example...

Yet we live in the safest times ever.

While teaching I introduced straight lines to my first graders with the aid of a ruler. In EVERY class there was a little boy who would place the ruler on the tip of his pencil and spin it.

I got very dramatic and rushed over to stop its spin and then in a whisper I told them this story.

"I had a little boy do that one time and he got it spinning so fast it lifted up off the pencil. (Here I used my shaking hand to mimic it lifting up) Then it SHOT ACROSS THE ROOM, OUT THE DOOR, AND STUCK RIGHT IN A TEACHERS NECK."

Again I mimicked the ruler embedded in my own neck and my grimace was convincing. The kids were all agape. Then I laughed and told them I made up that story, but they still can't spin the ruler on the pencil because it could hit them in the eye and I don't have time to deal with some kid with blood spewing out of their eye.

After that, no one spun the ruler...probably for the rest of their lives.

The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) ruled that defaming the Prophet Muhammad exceeds the permissible limits of freedom of expression. They ruled that an Austrian woman's criminal conviction and fine for her statements accusing the Prophet Muhammad of pedophilia did not breach her right to free speech. The decision came as an Austrian national identified as E.S. by the court had held seminars on Islam in 2008 and 2009 for the far-right Freedom Party (FPO) where she discussed the prophet's marriage to Aisha, a child at that time, and implied that he was a pedophile.

Jeez.

This is a perfect example of meat porn...

Early humans ate their meat raw until they discovery of fire. To me, that day was one of the greatest in our storied history.

I can imagine them experimenting on what they could and could not rub on the meat to make it taste better.

"This man murdered my brother when I was 10 years old. He brutally suffocated and decapitated him to impress his friends.

This week he is getting a chance to have a lesser sentence because of a new law. This new law says it's unconstitutional to give a life sentence to a minor under the age of 16, therefore he gets to be resentenced.

He gets another chance at life.... but does my brother?"

I beg you before you do something like this get it done with temporary ink and after the few months it lasts you will have time to think about it.

“Where’s Waldo?” is a fun book that teaches children how to properly stalk a nice man who has done nothing to deserve any of this. an indispensable resource for every young creep.

SCIENCE AND NATURE

Hawaii dumped 1.5 Billion gallons of lava into the sea and this is what it looked like.

Speaking of spewing liquid, this is what 38,100 cubic ft of water a second looks like flowing into the Colorado River.

Mud bubbler

No word as to where that is but it looks like a desert. Extraordinary.

I that was your child would you opt for surgery to make his hand look more normal? I think I would.

One of my favorite people has a TV set very much like that and she still uses it.

Now for some news.

My doctor has discovered that my sodium levels are much too low. I never knew how important sodium is, but it is and we have to do something about it. One of the possible causes is excessive urination and as an avid beer drinker that had my name all of it. I haven't had a beer in three weeks. As a matter of fact, she put me on a four cup a day liquid diet. FOUR CUPS A DAY! And gravy, milk on cereal, pudding, ice cream, etc, etc, all count as liquid. It was really hard, but I did it and my sodium levels are rising.

You should have seen the doctor's face when she asked how many times I urinated a day and I told her "Around 20, maybe more."

Anyway, I've lost 12 pounds already and feel fine.
