AIN'T NATURE GRAND

Early man did the same thing. They collected edible fruit as they traveled then camped near a water source just like other travelers. There they shit the seeds and over the years groves of edible fruit trees flourished.

THE HUMAN MENAGERIE

"Marzieh was driving in Isfahan, Iran, six years ago, when two men on a motorcycle came close to her car. One of them threw acid on her face and then they ran away. 

Police never caught them, although the street was surveyed by video cameras. There were a few other similar cases in Isfahan, in the same year, and the perpetrators have never been caught. All these horrible acts were directed towards women who were not wearing conservative outfits. 

Many Iranians believe that these attacks were made in complicity with different authorities to discourage women from adopting a more liberal way of dressing. But both national and local authorities denied any involvement."

Refused to mow my grass because I’m lazy and it got so high that my neighbor did it because he is trying to sell his house and needs the neighborhood to look good for potential buyers so don’t tell me your problems won’t go away if you ignore them.

I had seen that word in countless crossword puzzles but I had never heard it pronounced. So while sitting next to a real wordsmith (retired editorial page editor) I pronounced it en-you-i. I was mortified with embarrassment when he corrected me.

RATHER INTERESTING VISUALS

When you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

- Nietzsche

Epic lighting of the 1992 Olympic torch with a flaming arrow.

This is the lighting of the torch from The 1992 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXV Olympia. It was an international multi-sport event held in Barcelona, Spain from July 25 - August 9, 1992. 

The man who fired the arrow is Antonio Rebollo Liñán (born 19 June 1955, in Madrid, Spain); he is a Spanish Paralympic archer. 

When Rebollo was eight months old, he contracted polio with both legs affected, the right one severely. He was quoted as saying "I simply wanted to do things that challenge me." He was one of 200 archers considered. There were sunrise practices, along with wind machines to simulate various weather conditions, and flaming arrows that would often singe fingers. He was among four finalists and was chosen just two hours prior to the release of his arrow.
