PONDERABLES


The people who didn't have a ticket on the Ark look pretty damn canceled...

^^A1^^

A book we all should read.

^^A2^^

^^A3^^

^^A6^^

Think Stop The Steal.

*Viewer contribution

^^A7^^

Saying a generation's official designation is the equivalent of the most heinous racial slur in America is some real boomer shit.

^^A8^^

^^A9^^

*Terrorist? We had someone walk into a school and killed 20 little children and we did nothing about it. What could terrors do to us that we don't do to ourselves?

I just saw the most amazing thing. As a man started walking toward a Girl Scout cookie stand in front of the grocery store he yelled "My bitches are back!" And the Girl Scout screamed, "No, walk away!" And he did.

Our bodies are not designed to work in an office for 8+ hours, therefore I suggest that the workday should be a maximum of 42 minutes.

ART AND THE ARTY

^^B1^^

I taught children how to do this with torn pieces of paper.

The jagged edges of the torn paper were used as a mask and then I watered up tissue rubbed in graphite would make the mountains.

By reversing the process it made the clouds.

^^B2^^

What is used to hold those to our face knowing that they had never ever been washed.

^^B3^^

 During our back road trips across America, my wife and I saw thousands of small-town that look like this. And most of them had a Walmart just outside of town.

^^B4^^

A mosaic floor of a villa dating back to the 4th or 5th century AD was found in Montorio, Verona, Italy.

How come the guys that laid all those earlier pipes didn't notice it?

Who called it creationist and not primate change deniers?

The moral for Romeo and Juliet: Always take the time to cry over your dead lover's body for a few hours before making important decisions like drinking poison.

S.T.E.M. ITEMS

Coast redwoods are the tallest living trees and have survived for millennia, resisting fire and pests. 

They have two types of leaves that look different and perform very different tasks and help the trees adapt to both wet and dry conditions – an ability that could be key to their survival in a changing climate.

Above: The two different leaves of redwood. The peripheral leaf (left) focuses on photosynthesis while the axial leaf (right) is devoted to absorbing water.

A pill for every single thing that ails you.

Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.

But no. Mead said that the first sign of civilization in ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed. Mead explained that in the animal kingdom if you break your leg, you die. You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink, or hunt for food. You are meat for prowling beasts. No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal. A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety, and has tended the person through recovery. Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said."

We are at our best when we serve others.  Be civilized.

When a man says he'll do anything for a woman he means fight bad guys and slay dragons not vacuum or wash dishes.

How come reading tea leaves is seen as this sophisticated witchy thing to do but if I slam dunk an open can of Chef Boyardee ravioli onto the pavement in the gas station parking lot to see what kind of soda the old ones think I should buy foodstuff divination suddenly isn't cool anymore?

PEOPLE NOT LIKE US


I'm not saying my wife it's like this all the time but...

^^D1^^

Look at that white girl run...

^^D2^^

^^D3^^

I read a stupid article online about the myths that we've heard concerning the consequences of masturbation. It was too stupid to share with you but it did have some funny pictures that accompanied the text.

And this one looks exactly like my wife signaling for passing trucks to blow their horn.

^^D4^^

I've been looking for this picture for 10 years.

Many years ago I toured a textile mill that brought raw cotton in one door and packaged finished sheets and pillowcases that went out another door. In a football-size room where they sorted and packaged all of the merchandise, there was one man high above the rest looking over the ocean of workers and his only job was to bend those two pieces of cardboard so that the automatic taping machine could do its job. He was like a king overlooking his vast estate and now I see they have a machine that does that.

^^D5^^

"Whisper something dirty in my ear..."

"Your feet."

^^D6^^

I swore off waiting in lines a long time ago. No meal is worth me wasting my time.

^^D7^^

Boomer Go Boom

Serves the stupid bastard right.

^^D8^^

Bucket Toss

That actually made me jump.

^^D9^^

Remember, when you see an old lady sitting quietly smiling she's remembering events like this from her past…

^^D10^^

If her profile says "You know me but not my story" it's meth and dicks. It's always meth and dicks.

BC stands for Before Coronavirus now. Sorry Jesus, take a hike.

OBJECTS OF INTEREST



^^E1^^

Cut that corner just a hair too tight. 

Better luck with your new job.

I understand how the truck fell over, but why did that make the cab decide to elect a new pope?

^^E2^^

That was a pretty creative scene but look at the attention to detail here...

^^E3^^

I wonder if they knew that it was in there.

^^E4^^

^^E5^^

A couple of books you may have missed…

---

I've actually known people who liked being pissed off.

^^E6^^

So this cart detects if you shoplifted and locks itself, remembering you of your degeneracy.

I like how each one of them walks off looking as innocent as can be.

^^E7^^

Making egg wraps in a wok

^^E8^^

Traveler's Palm is named because the sheaths of the stems hold rainwater that could be used in an emergency.

^^E9^^

Zoomquilt #2 is a hypnotic journey through an endlessly zooming artwork that includes imagery from many different artists. It makes me feel like I'm flying through a dream world. This 10-hour version would be great for a TV or desktop screensaver. Make sure to watch the video on full screen to experience the full effect.

^^E10^^
