ODD HUMAN BEHAVIOR

On October 11, 1943, Dwight Eisenhower and British General Bernard Montgomery made a bet about the future of World War II. The war, Ike wagered, would be over by Christmas Day 1944—and he put £5 on it (which would be just under $100 in today's dollars). 

The Battle Of The Bulge made Ike the loser.

 The interesting thing about stabbing somebody in the chest with a giant sharpened stick is it will kill them whether they’re a vampire or just a regular dude.

I'm a fan of this style of photography, but I have a problem with the diagonal shadow in the lower right. How can that be?
^^D3^^

How very wonderful.

I think this is from a movie. I still like it.

 I hate when I make a joke and everyone says, “Too soon.”  I’m sorry if I wait any longer the funeral will be over.

CLIPS THAT REQUIRE SOUND

NOTE: For whatever reason Google's Blogspot will not allow me to upload clips with sound. I have recently discovered a way to allow you to hear clips I found interesting. The good news is that they are all short and easily accessible.


No, I just don't understand rap.

I bet their mothers are proud of them.

There were people weeping in the crowd and I must confess I got a little teary myself.

Please remember that if you stop to listen then you owe that child some money.

THINGS YOU MAY WANT TO THINK ABOUT

Apologists for wealth inequality often argue that inequality is a poor measure of whether a society is just or not: in the gospel of the right, society naturally forms hierarchies with the "best people" at the top (depending on what kind of right winger you are, that's either rich people or male people or white people or straight people, or some combination thereof), and they proceed to bring prosperity to all of us by ordering us around and telling us what to do, so that their wisdom can be played out for the world (see also: "job creators").

Most Christians think that only Jesus was born with divine intervention, but no.

Some of us would fake disinterest just to get them interested. True.

This was going into the ART section but then I noticed the dreaded female nipple.

What kind of person would rat me out for such a thing? What kind of life must they have?

He reached a plateau and could break through it. That is a very common phenomenon in every endeavor.

I don't even call it stealing anymore. I call it sharing. 

I can think of no greater honor than for you to share one of my original works. No permission is necessary.

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!

Shit like that drives me up a wall.
^^F10^^

There were people who believed that crap with no scientific proof whatsoever. Many of these same people deny climate change with a shitload of proof.
^^F11^^

I really like my guns and own over a dozen, but I have no problem having to wait while they check to see if I'm a homicidal maniac.
