If aliens are secretly watching me they have a whole bunch of footage of me pretending random office objects are spaceships.

COMPLETE STUPIDITY

But their magic guy's named MuHAMmad.
^^B1^^

Watched a documentary on one family's attempt to recover their Jewish family's artwork stolen by the Nazis and was left with the feeling that the Swiss have no soul.
^^B2^^

I will be the biggest I-told-you-so guy in the world when it is finally revealed what Putin has on Trump. My best guess is bribing a foreign official.
^^B3^^

If your wife works full time then the husband ought to share the housework. Or do as I did and hire a maid service.
^^B4^^

The United States has a mechanism for allowing immigrants to come here and become a citizen. Anybody who flouts the law should be sent home as soon as they are apprehended.
^^B5^^

Somebody returned this book to the library.

They used a taco as a bookmark.
^^B6^^

But if you think about it just right the airlines have us by the balls. None of them offer superior service so we can't punish anyone of them for poor service by booking with their competition.

My friend took a vacation to Portland. Says the tent cities are beautiful this time of year.

ART AND THE ARTY

A stunning example of perfect communication.
^^C1^^

As a public artist, I like sharing the work of my colleagues.

WORD ON THE STREET

^^C3^^

There is probably at least one white guy adopted and raised in China who speaks English with a Chinese accent and strangers just assume he's a total asshole.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Each of the following images screams for a backstory. Get them a minute. The plot you come up with says a lot about you personally.

A girl in every porthole.

If my kid’s toys ever come to life, I’m doing the sensible thing and claiming them on my taxes.

Addendum:

The Elitzur–Vaidman bomb-tester is a quantum mechanics thought-experiment that uses interaction-free measurements to verify that a bomb is functional without having to detonate it. It was conceived in 1993 by Avshalom Elitzur and Lev Vaidman. Since their publication, real-world experiments have confirmed that their theoretical method works as predicted.

The bomb tester takes advantage of two characteristics of elementary particles, such as photons or electrons: nonlocality and wave-particle duality.[2] By placing the particle in a quantum superposition, the experiment can verify that the bomb works without ever triggering its detonation, although there is a 50% chance that the bomb will explode in the effort.

PROVOCATIVE LANGUAGE

I can only guess, but if you die from pills people could always say it was an accidental overdose - not the case when you blow your brains out.

Aside from that, I think Americans are highly over-medicated.

It seems nobody can handle any level of discomfort - physical or psychological.

I never donate my time or art to anybody who is getting paid. Sorry.

Well, not now.

I've listened to this album a million times.

Learn what is to be taken seriously and laugh at the rest.” — Herman Hesse

Ever since I found out cats don't meow to other cats and it's just some shit they learned to manipulate humans and meows are supposed to mimic the cries of human infants I'm noticing a lot of fake shit about cats.

GET LEARNT

Beef Strokenoff?
[ RH: I only posted that because of that comment.]
^^F1^^

If he can't cross it, turn around, and go back, he fails the training. Amazing.

^^F2^^

That makes me tired just looking at it.
^^F3^^

They don't fuck around with railway crossing arms in China.

I lost the information for that, but impressive anyway.

Sarah Thomas, from Colorado, USA, swam for just over 54 hours. The swim was due to be about 80 miles, but strong tides meant she ended up swimming closer to 130 miles. The effort beats the previous record of 3x Channel crossings in a row.

The 37-year-old swimmer - who completed breast cancer treatment a year ago - dedicated her accomplishment to "all the survivors out there".
Pretty sure they have a ferry.

^^F9^^

While we were gambling on horseracing, I tried to explain that to a barmate but he didn't understand it. So I looked it up and found this cool illustration.
