On this day, 501 years ago, the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan set sail on the Atlantic from SanlĂșcar de Barrameda, Spain—an expedition that circumnavigated the globe for the first time.

He once said, “The church says the earth is flat, but I have seen its shadow on the moon, and I have more confidence even in a shadow than in the church.”

“The sea is dangerous and its storms terrible, but these obstacles have never been sufficient reason to remain ashore… Unlike the mediocre, intrepid spirits seek victory over those things that seem impossible… It is with an iron will that they embark on the most daring of all endeavors… to meet the shadowy future without fear and conquer the unknown.” ― Ferdinand Magellan

A very smart lady I know did not circumcise her son opting instead for him to make the decision when he grows up.

Is that a real stunt man or a dummy?

People seem to have a strong desire to hurl themselves into the air.

They keep thinking up different methods to obtain this hurling.

And have you noticed that it's mostly males?

Some hurling is more elegant than others...

Remember the Ice Water Challenge?
As I understand it, it has resulted in significant breakthroughs.

Conspiracy theorists are an odd lot.







Do those people look "superior" to anyone?

^^A17^^

But there are some reall scumbags among us.

"Eric Trump, who runs day-to-day operations of the family real estate empire, is scheduled to sit for a deposition on Monday as part of the New York attorney general's investigation into whether the Trump Organization improperly inflated the value of its assets to obtain loans or tax benefits."

The "Warrior and Fighter" of 1600 Pen may have to take a back seat to son Eric's testimony .... such a pity

PLACES I WILL NEVER VISIT


A family trying to enjoy a spring camping barbecue on an idyllic Australian island got more than they bargained for when quickly surrounded by dozens of giant robber crabs.

The ferocious-looking crustaceans, also known as coconut crabs, measure up to a meter in length and have a strong sense of smell.

As the unwitting family enjoyed an alfresco barbecue while camping on isolated Christmas Island, off Western Australia's far north-west, the crabs swarmed around them looking for food.

The crabs are harmless despite their scary looks,  although (as their name suggests)  they are regularly known to steal items from campsites.

Worker repairing an antenna atop the World Trade Center, 1979. The antenna was 362 feet above the 110th floor.

We, humans, are born with a fear of heights for a very good reason but some people will themselves to ignore it.
BTW I think that the total height of a building should be the highest occupied floor.

Yeah, like that red rope is going to stop a MAGA covid-denier.
