ON DEATH AND DYING
And you would think we all should have plenty of time to prepare for it.

There's plenty of evidence that grief is a murderer. 
^^B1^^


I read an article about the ten biggest mistakes made during D-Day. One was that the bombers that were supposed to destroy the fortifications dropped their bombs too far inland, leaving the fortifications unscathed.

They were so concerned with friendly fire incidents that they overcorrected.

All of those craters were supposed to be on or near the beach to act as foxholes for the troops.
I've always wondered why the Allies didn't use a shitload of smoke shells to deny the enemy a view of the approaching troops.
^^B2^^

Dying is a lot easier if you are stupid.

Did you notice that she knocked out power to the whole city?
^^B3^^


For anyone confused, the second scientist could have said, "I'll have an H2O too" So he'll have H2O2 or hydrogen peroxide.
^^B4^^


Death is also more likely if you like to hurt people.
^^B5^^

CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL

Sometimes I think about that crab and wonder if he’s doing okay.
^^C1^^


I'm not sure I understand that but it reads as something important.
^^C2^^


I wonder how often that human does that.

I wrote a novel titled "Double-Yolked Egg Man" and I think it one of my better efforts.

A normal chicken can be seen standing on a block in front of that monster.

THE HUMAN MENAGERIE

I strongly suggest that you watch that more than once.

OBJECTS OF INTEREST

One freaky statue...
I understand some no-talent making it, but who the hell buys it? 
^^E1^^


We men catch a lot of shit over this.
 Well, I would have sworn that I have never peed on the floor...until I put in my pee-pipe.
It's just a two-inch PVC pipe through a hole in my studio floor with a one-foot wide funnel on the top. And almost immediately I noticed that there were always drips on the floor after I used it. I tried everything I could think of, but have never been able to eliminate the drips.
^^E2^^


^^E3^^

Saw this and thought it was share-worthy.  I'm told it resides in Vancouver. Canadian.
 I liked determining which cut had to be first, then second, etc. Those angled cuts baffle me as the middle wedge always protrudes.
^^E4^^

Surface Tension

Porto Flavia Mine
When I was presented with the image above I had a lot of questions, so I Googled it and found it fascinating.
 The mining company found the perfect spot in the high cliffs overlooking a spot where the sea was deep enough and well-protected from wind and waves to allow a safe mooring, while the ore could be loaded from the cliffs by gravity.

Alaska King is the fun size.

Folks in West Virginia Woke to Find Purple Water... told safe to drink if diluted.

An official at Coal Grove's water treatment plant says it was 'perfectly safe' to drink, once it's diluted. It may be potassium permanganate but officials have yet to say.
And what, exactly, do you "dilute" water with?
^^E11^^

Comet surface conditions, captured by the Rosetta probe.

Remember that not all of that is dust particles. The back dots are stars...or more likely far away galaxies.
You can expect me to post this every time I stumble upon it. I think it breathtaking.

My dad once put his bare ass on the dinner table while the family was eating and my mom spanked it. That's when I realized something was off.

DISCUSSION POINTS

I lay all this drug use paranoia squarely at the feet of Conservative Christians, who seem to like nothing more than telling everyone else how to live their lives. Oh, it's not just drugs. How about prostitution, abortion, nipple bans, and homosexuality?


This relatively harmless Naked Cycling in Chicago would surely be illegal if the conservatives had their way.


I am sure conservatives fought this tooth and nail.


And most churches have enough problems in their own house.
^^F1^^

Does your boyfriend or husband spend all of his free time playing silly games like this?

I would love to know how you women feel about walking into a room in your house and finding your spouse engaged is this make believe shit. 
Seriously, give me your true feelings.
^^F2^^
 
I'm at a loss. What does that even mean? Anybody?
^^F3^^

I posted that just for my wife...the most courteous driver who ever confused every driver she happens upon.

Proof the statement is true: Haven't you aver noticed that each time a story teller tells of a personal past event, the outcome becomes more and more profound, and the role of the story teller becomes more and more central to the success/outcome? (Just think of Al Gore inventing the internet, or Hillary Clinton disembarking a plane under gunfire. They don't think they're lying, the story just changes a little bit each time, until...)

Indeed. I read a study concerning the combining of several memories of true events into a whole new narrative that just sort of resembles all of them. These people could pass a lie detector when telling this "new" memory. My brother has a habit of putting himself in the starring role of every story he has ever heard. I find it annoying, but I guess it's harmless.

E2 Make it taller. Less chance for error. Or bigger funnel.
