PEOPLE NOT LIKE THE REST OF US

I have never understood why the suit coat and tie is still a thing anymore. It's time to scrap that long outlived fashion.

With Japan having just six shooting deaths last year it's clear the solution to gun violence is tentacle porn.

BECOMING LESS STUPID


This came to me with no information. Anyone?

I saw that early scene and thought it totally misplaced.

The spokes on the wheels are wooden.

I took a cruise on the final voyage of the ship. 
It was awful.

This albatross is affectionately known as Wisdom, and is the oldest known bird in the wild. She has flown around 3 million miles and successfully raised 37 chicks. Today she’s surrounded by 3 generations of her extended family.

^^C5^^

The Hooded Pitohui is the first scientifically documented poisonous bird. Its feathers give off a neurotoxin called homobatrachotoxin which has previously only been found in the skin of poison dart frogs, and handling them can cause numbness.

So, knowing that he picks it up and fondles it.

After buying a new Toyota truck, I was sent a letter asking me for any suggestions of how to make their truck better.
I wrote that any hole in the dash or body should be made into compartments. And they took my advice.
Now they even have a compartment under the back seat.

Did Cavemen Ever Really Exist?

Today, the term "caveman" really just means earlier versions of humans, but did they really live in caves? Humans arose in Africa, and eventually migrated to the rest of the world, which was colder and meant they needed shelter. A cave seems like the perfect place to hide from both predators and the elements. But there's a reason we know them as cave men- caves happen to be where we found evidence of early humans.

If caves were not quite as important as was portrayed by the caveman stereotype, why did we find so many traces of palaeolithic life in caves? The answer to that is two-fold: On the one hand, the already existing stereotype of the caveman and early finds in caves naturally oriented more research in caves. It is a selection bias. On the other hand, the conditions for the preservation of fossils in caves are extremely good. Caves not only shelter humans from rain and wind, but also all other kind of things that are left behind in them. Adding to the protection from the weather, many caves accumulate sediment steadily over time burying archaeological traces. They are ideal grounds to conserve a glimpse of the past.

The truth is that people lived in caves and a lot of other places, too, but those other places are not so easy to detect. Read about the many kinds of shelters early humans used and how we manage to find them at Today I Found Out.

The first planes before and during World War I didn’t pose much danger. Back then, they were only used for reconnaissance and surveillance of enemy territory. Information back then was as valuable as it is today. However, once opposing forces used the same tactic against each other, there became a realization to add weapons on the rather new invention. With the addition of weapons on planes came dogfights.

B2: coat and tie.
Totally agree. The bank I work for has a "Dress for the day" dress code.
Think of it as going out to eat. You might dress a little differently at a 5 star restuarant versus going to the local Tex-Mex.
Ive never worn a suit at this job.
