DID YOU KNOW
It's mind-blowing to think of Casablanca without Nazis, and without World War II. That's the whole point of the story! You can imagine it turned out to be about ten minutes long. I had to look that story up, and it's true. The German version of Casablanca brought the movie down from an hour and 42 minutes to an hour and 17 minutes, and wasn't particularly well received.
During WWI and II, the civilians were expected to feed themselves, and raising rabbits seems like a great source of protein. They will eat almost anything including table scraps and they breed like...well...rabbits.
She's 21 and just became the youngest female to row solo across the Atlantic Ocean
Jasmine Harrison completed the 3,000-mile Atlantic Ocean crossing in 70 days, 3 hours, and 48 minutes.
A near collision with a drilling ship, two capsizes, lots of peanut butter and Nutella consumed, visits from dolphins, and a world record-breaker. Jasmine has safely made it to Antigua.
The bottles are formed out of a single piece of paper-fiber-based material to give them strength.
I say just package them in paper pouches like Capri-Sun only of paper.
The World’s Roundest Object
Made out of a single, very expensive, a crystal of silicon-28 atoms, and extensively analyzed for imperfections by both humans and computers, this “nearly perfect” sphere is the world’s roundest object. The surface is so smooth that if you were to blow it up to the size of our planet, the difference between the highest peak and the lowest valley would be between 3m and 4.5m (10 and 15 feet). It used to be around 15m back when scientists started making these amazing spheres, but technology has gotten better at smoothing out even the tiniest wrinkles. However, creating such a wonder isn’t cheap. The silicone crystal alone costs around $1 million, while the sphere itself, although often described as priceless, costs around $3.5 million.
"Hole"? I would have preferred "orifice".
There's a beer for that.

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED
A Puppy with Six Legs
The veterinarians cannot find any record of such a case where a puppy has survived birth, but the female puppy, named Miracle and called Skipper, seems to be relatively healthy.

Somewhere in Nigeria...
An Ecuadorian TV reporter and his camera crew got the scares of their lives after being held at gunpoint by a masked robber, while doing a live piece.
Notice how he has his finger wrapped all the way around the trigger. Tsk. Tsk.
I once read an unpublished book by a writer friend of mine. He used the word "accouterments" four times in forty or so pages. I pointed out every single one of them.

OBJECTS OF INTEREST
I'm not sure whether that clip is about the food, the tool used, or the cheese, but the way the cheese sticks on the second attempt really bothers me.
How cold was it?
I suspect it is due to heating and cooling at differing rates.
The 49-story residential tower on Granville Street in Vancouver, Canada.
It's not a fragile as it looked.
One of my favorite architectural details.
But I don't remember the square hole to receive the arm piece which was carved separately.
Saving old buildings is a very worthwhile expense.
We don't build beautiful housing any longer. Modern homes are devoid of any adornment.
And we copy the same boring design over and over again.
Most people may think that we no longer care about beauty and specialness. But look at our cars, our clothes, jewelry, etc - all with adornments we spend a lot of money on.
This Van Camper Comes With a Second Storey and an Elevator
The Maxus V90 Life Home Villa Edition may look like your everyday modern van camper on the road, but when parked it can transform into a futuristic two-story villa at the press of a button. That’s right, with a single finger press you can become the envy of your friends and everyone on the campground. Not only do the walls of the motorhome expand outwards to offer more room in the living area and kitchen, but a cool sunroom extends out of the roof as well.
USPS's new trucks
The odd but obviously practical design evokes something from an old-timey cartoon, squashing and stretching as it putters along.
But it's actually rather sophisticated:

You also have to borrow money and, of course, pay it back. That's my rating.

I once texted my wife from a fake account to see if she would cheat on me and she wrote back, "I know it's you, Fred."
ON BEING HUMAN
My first wife is actually a very nice lady.
I watched the movie The Dig. Recognize this guy?
He's this handsome devil, Ralph Fiennes.
Speaking of movies, I had some work to do in my hallway right outside my office so I pulled up a movie that I could at least listen to. The movie I selected was A Quiet Place which had like a dozen of words of dialogue...total.
This lady was in The Dig.
