PEOPLE CAN BE SUCH DICKS SOMETIMES

Bison skulls waiting to be crushed into fertilizer.

Human beings almost wiping out an entire species for sport is a dick move.
^^1^^

An overcrowded prison in El Salvador.

Dehumanizing other human beings is a dick move.
^^2^^

 

  ⚠ Trigger warning ⚠
Leaving comments like this are dick moves:
- Check all the big oak trees. He probably went back to baking cookies.
- In his defense, the ankle bracelet was probably chafing his inner thigh.
- Have they tried following the yellow brick road?
- He only escaped so that for once in his life he could be considered "at large."
- When he was arrested he told the arresting officer, "I'm not happy," and the officer replied, "Okay, then which one are you?"
- My receipt from CVS is taller than he is.
- But Lt. Dan you ain't got no legs.

^^3^^

Breaking up with your significant other in a public setting is a dick move. And so is filming it and putting it on the internet.
^^4^^

Why should he force me to explain that to my children?

^^5^^

This kid enjoys banging cyclists with his door.

He survived but he is still a dick.
^^6^^

And being a dick is not limited to humans.

When you run out of toilet paper and you are a beast of a mother.

MISTAKES WERE MADE

Sand surfing? 
^^8^^

A well laid out plan is the key to success.

I have curtailed my posting of such antics, but the milk was a nice touch.
^^9^^

Yeah, siblings can be dicks.
^^10^^

Hey, fuck you, Karen!

Hahahahanhanaha! 
^^11^^

Physicists hate this guy.

Nothing to see here, folks, just a normal head of hair.
^^12^^

Yeah, for a second I thought it was a T-Rex also.
^^13^^

The most predictable clip on the internet...

The intensity of their pre-decision discussion.
Are those eggs?

And look what I found on the same day I scheduled that last clip!!

American ingenuity at its finest.
^^14^^

A friend's 5-year-old saw a rhino and called it a "Battle Unicorn". Can we let 5-year-olds christen new species, please?

NATURE AND SUCH

- AMAZING INSECTS -

 1. Dung beetles can navigate only when the Milky Way or clusters of bright stars are visible and are the only insect known to orient itself by use of the galaxy.

 2. Bees don't buzz during an eclipse. Bees remain active and noisy right up to the last moments before totality. As totality hits, the bees all go silent in unison.

 3. The blue wings of the morpho dragonfly are surprisingly alive. Scientists found a respiratory system in these wings, the first time this has been seen in any insect.

 4. The adolescents of the planthopper bug are the first living things discovered to have evolved mechanical gears. They're located in its legs and enable it to jump at an acceleration of 400 g in 2 ms.

5. A fly called Goniurellia tridens has "ant-mimicking" wings. Those "ants" on its wings aren't real ants, but markings. When threatened, the fly flashes its wings to give the appearance of ants walking back and forth. The predator gets confused, and the fly flies off.

Spiny Flower Mantises

Orchid Mantises

Bagworm Moth Caterpillar cuts up pieces of plants to create a mobile home.

^^15^^

Creation of a binary system from the chaos of a three-body problem.

I have no idea what that means, but I did think it was a pretty cool graphic.

A shout out to those of you on the toilet right now reading this. Have a great shit, man. I really mean it.

Why is the male robot doing the talking but the female robot is making the quote signs?

SERIOUSLY

I have questions.

So that is supposed to OVERCOME any reluctance? 

^^20^^

During the Vietnam War, they conducted a national lottery to determine the order in which young men would be drafted. 

I've always wondered if there were whole units of soldiers with the same birthday. 
^^21^^

That was so cruel it almost went in the People Being Dicks section, but I want to use it to repeat my dismay that normally rational people allow the fact that their spouse had sex with someone else ruin their whole relationship. I mean, it is just sex.
^^22^^


All the male teachers at my elementary school refused to be alone with any child. If a child came into my empty classroom with a question, I would direct them into the hallway where there were cameras.
^^23^^

Some people are obsessed with following the rules.

I am not such a person. I come from a long line of civil disobedience and take great pride in the fact.
^^24^^

Women assembling the Sears catalog, 1942.

I simply could not do such things. The boredom would drive me completely insane...insaner.
^^25^^


It matters not whether you are a liberal or conservative, every thinking, feeling person must acknowledge that this is capitalism run amok and it is time for the government to intervene.
^^26^^

Stay safe, my friend.

PICTURES WITH CAPTIONS

^^28^^
 

^^29^^

 
The faculty were invited to a very exclusive (expensive) club for an end of the year kudos from a parent. When the elevator stopped on the floor with the bar a sexy elevator voice said, "Going down," and I announced to all the women, "If she's going down, I'm staying on." They shushed me, then when we entered the club I looked around at the gorgeous antiques and said, "You'd think a place like this could afford new furniture."
^^30^^

^^31^^

^^32^^

I would bet that kid has older brothers. 
^^33^^
 
 ^^34^^

Unless you are my wife who uses it as a tool for good.

RELATIONSHIPS CAN BE COMPLICATED

When your wife says: "After watering the garden, I want you to explain to me some messages you have on your phone."

My wife and I in Venice...


This reminds me of my wife and me.

We start and end the day with laughter and I can state as a fact that I have never been happier in my whole life.

^^39^^

My bartender told me that the Sorting Hat's penis rests on your forehead when you wear it. Is that true?

THE ENGLISH

I like the humor of the British.

But the person who posted this next clip asked if Americans understood British humor.

 They must have missed Tim Conway on Carol Burnett coining the EXACT same gag.

Yeah, like their humor is so sophisticated that we wouldn't understand the humor in this drunk English girl diving into the snow.

And if you think your politics is funny, you need to get a load of what's going on in America.

I have stated before that the whole notion of a Queen is so alien to me that I laugh every time I see people on TV acting like frightened mice around her.

I was so sure Scotland would opt for true independence, but it was not to be. That confused me greatly.

Especially for their royalty's gene pool.

 I do enjoy English soccer which I watch often. I'm a Liverpool guy and it's amazing how many other Americans have favorite English teams.

I watched Messi (who is not English) with a free kick make a goal by kicking the ball right at the feet of an opposing player who he knew would jump up.

Anyway, as wonderful as English soccer is, they seem to fall completely apart when they get in the World Cup.

^^40^^

NOTE: Today if someone asks you what's new, you tell them you watched a film of a gorilla whipping its ass with its own baby.
