A chicken nugget has been launched into space!

They used a balloon filled with hydrogen to do it and it reached a height of 110,000 feet (or 880,000 chicken nuggets).

If you close your eyes while holding a warm pancake it's almost like holding hands with a real person.

That's him on the left and his name is Zachery Ty Bryan.

BTW he looks very much like Dano, the owner of my bar.

^^B2^^

See anything odd?

You can even see it in this old picture.

The Queen's throne has a spacer to make hers higher.

And here's why...

These two thrones were made in 1847 by Augustus Pugin (the interior decorator of all of Parliament) for Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, who had the same legal status as Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip.

I'm going to assume she squirted ketchup on the guy's shirt. That exact thing happened to a member of my mural crew. We were in a restaurant booth and he, for whatever reason, began to roll up a ketchup packet exactly like some people roll up a toothpaste tube. Well, that pressurized the contents and finally, it shot out and went over my head and plastered the couple behind me. He apologized enthusiastically.

A very good friend of mine from my American Legion days was in WWII. Periodically he would bring along a Japanese guy who he would introduce as the Last Surviving Kamikaze Pilot.

OBJECTS OF INTEREST

In a new study, a team of scientists from the UK, Portugal, and Brazil discovered that etching a shallow pattern of grating lines in a checkerboard design on solar cells can enhance the current generated by crystalline silicon (c-Si) by as much as 125 percent.

"We found a simple trick for boosting the absorption of slim solar cells," explains photovoltaics researcher Christian Schuster from the University of York.

"Our investigations show that our idea actually rivals the absorption enhancement of more sophisticated designs – while also absorbing more light deep in the plane and less light near the surface structure itself."

Lava tubes form when lava flows underneath the surface. As the outside of the flowing lava cools and solidifies into a ceiling and walls, the interior stays molten and keeps flowing. Eventually, the lava flows out of the tube in a downslope direction, leaving the tube.

Here's a tube on Earth:
