DID YOU KNOW?
This is a photograph of Earth taken over the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
In 1587, England planted a colony of 117 people on Roanoke Island in North Carolina. Three years later, when an English vessel checked in on the colony, the entire population had vanished and the settlement lay in ruins. The only clue left behind was the word "CROATOAN" carved into a wooden palisade. What happened to the colony? One of the earliest hypotheses was that it had moved into and joined a Native American community. After eleven years of research, a team of archaeologists (both amateur and professional) has concluded that this hypothesis is probably correct. They found evidence of a mixed community of Europeans and Native Americans on Hatteras Island.

Russian Far East Region Experiences Particularly Bad “Mosquito Tornadoes”
Villages on the east coast of the Kamchatka peninsula, in the Russian Far-East, are experiencing scenes that seem taken out of an Alfred Hitchcock movie. Only instead of birds invading their community, it’s billions of mosquitoes swirling into visible “tornadoes”. Villages like Ust-Kamchatsk are used to being invaded by large numbers of mosquitoes every summer, it’s normal for these insects to swarm near bodies of water, but this year it’s much worse than usual. Because of an unusually hot summer, the number of mosquitoes is much larger, making them an even bigger nuisance than they usually are. Window and door nets do little to keep the pesky buzzers out of people’s homes, as they seem to get in through the smallest of cracks, and going outside means dealing with large swarms of mosquitoes that seem to reach the sky when seen from afar.
These are not like the mosquitoes you see in America. They are like the ones in Alaska - much larger than we are used to.
The iconic smiley face didn’t just evolve naturally. The worldwide symbol for happiness, with its perfect circle, two oval eyes, and a large upturned mouth was created by graphic designer Harvey Ball in 1963. He was commissioned by State Mutual Life Assurance Company to create an image to boost staff morale.

A defect in the ventilation system at the Lindt & Sprüngli chocolate factory in Olten, Switzerland resulted in a spray of "cocoa nibs" into the air, leaving a fine dusting of chocolate around the factory and the nearby environment.
December 1969: ex-RAF pilot Guy Harris put a toilet seat up for auction that he claimed to have removed from Hitler's bunker in Berlin. He said he had found it in the private apartment used by Hitler and Eva Braun.
According to Harris, he and other British soldiers had been allowed in the bunker by the Russians, who had already removed everything they believed to be of value. But they evidently hadn't thought Hitler's toilet seat was of any value. So Harris took it.
When he got back to England, he first installed it in his 90-foot yacht on the Thames. Later he moved it to his home in Twickenham, before finally deciding to sell it.

Who wouldn't agree to that?
Well, there are news releases like this:
QAnon disinformation cult is behind #SaveTheChildren and #SaveOurchildren rallies
Opinions?

Coincidentally the first thing I thought was he looks exactly like he'd sell a toddler at a gas station for $2500.

People still think there are good guys and bad guys. We’re all morally ambiguous. Like I used to steal money from my parents but it was to help a small business (my weed dealer)

You might laugh, then feel bad about laughing, then you should know that this picture was staged by the folks at Bitterroot Bison Company in Missoula, Montana. It was based on a real story about a bison goring in South Dakota. The lesson here is: don't try to take a selfie with wild animals.
Can you imagine having to be told not to take selfies with wild animals?^^D6^^
Is that contour farming?

And she’s a woman younger than your wife !

Most women marry to improve their lot in life. Which makes me wonder why your wife married you
I agree it is Bob, but for the exact opposite reason. It is raining outside and the underside of Bob,s car is puddled. The other two cars were parked before it began raining and have little water underneath. Bob parked his car after tbe ground was already wet.
