FOR AMUSEMENT ONLY
Speaking of...
As our commander was on the way to inspect our barracks I decided to dust a lit lightbulb with a damp rag. It exploded.
BTW: The military is not all that anal about cleanliness. Keeping everything spic and span is their way of keeping us busy. Busy troops don't get in as much trouble.
Me...

Somehow "Love one another as I love you" got obscenely distorted.

I think that little tail tap was the monkey's way of letting the human know he was invading his space and should back off.

Cocaine Bear looks great but I would also watch a movie about a possum who eats an Indica gummy and just sits there.
*Indeed.
Here's the problem with fruit: it's inconsistency. Some apples are delicious, sometimes bad. Sometimes blueberries or grapes, sometimes they are disgusting. Do you know what's the same every time? Peanut M&Ms.
GET LEARNT
Speaking of...
That thing's brain is almost as complex as our own and it has an expression very similar to a human's. What could he be thinking?
The ammo crate I'm incorporating in my latest box has this number.
I want you to imagine how very important it is that these numbers be read correctly. Now notice how very similar the 6, 8, and 9 are. The presence or absence of the one little gap seems MUCH too ambiguous.
And then there's this:
In the remote Arctic almost 30 years ago, a group of Inuit middle school students and their teacher invented the Western Hemisphere’s first new number system in more than a century. The “Kaktovik numerals,” named after the Alaskan village where they were created, looked utterly different from decimal system numerals and functioned differently, too. But they were uniquely suited for quick, visual arithmetic using the traditional Inuit oral counting system, and they swiftly spread throughout the region. Now, with support from Silicon Valley, they will soon be available on smartphones and computers—creating a bridge for the Kaktovik numerals to cross into the digital realm.
Today’s numerical world is dominated by the Hindu-Arabic decimal system. This system, adopted by almost every society, is what many people think of as “numbers”—values expressed in a written form using the digits 0 through 9. But meaningful alternatives exist, and they are as varied as the cultures they belong to.
I was wrong.
I used to put her in the same incestuous pot as the rest of the royals but I came to discover that she was actually a kind, caring human being.
Tsunami Scale
I had no idea that relatively recent ones got this big.
The earliest tsunami in the video is the Unzen mega tsunami of 1792 in Japan at 100m. The largest mega tempest tsunami depicted devastated Lituya Bay, Alaska, in 1946 with a 520m swell.

They make a relatively cheap tool for that. I popped out a dent in my truck...but it left a crease.
Mathematicians are interested in tile shapes that can cover the whole plane without ever creating a repeating design. In these special cases, called aperiodic tilings, there’s no pattern that you can copy and paste to keep the tiling going. No matter how you chop up the mosaic, each section will be unique.
Until now, aperiodic tilings always required at least two tiles of different shapes. Many mathematicians had already given up hope of finding a solution with one tile, called the elusive “Einstein” tile, which gets its name from the German words for “one stone.”
This was left in the fork of a tree and the tree engulfed it until lumberjacks rediscovered it.
And with that skill, relatively simple people conquered most of the known world. The importance of mobility in warfare can not be overstated.
Baby Book
My 7-year-old grandson is an insatiable reader. He reads on an upper middle school level and usually reads 300-400 pages a day.
My daughter spent her junior year in high school in Japan where she dressed in a fine kimono and performed the ancient tea ceremony in front of judges. Now that I watched that video, I wonder if my daughter also had to brew the tea.
This time around I noticed that the area below the avalanche has been scoured of debris and deposited as scree in lines of boulders and rocks. I think the person taking the pictures is standing on such scree.
Remember this safety expert?
How the hell are children supposed to learn how to climb ladders, etc, without there being some risks involved. I don't want any child seriously injured, but being too careful deprives them of valuable learning experiences. Take this puppy for example.
The puppy learned to climb the ladder because it was scared shitless of falling.
I don't want to brag, but if we all have to rough it, I would be very good at inventing stuff like that.
I once ordered in fluent German to impress a date. The lady in the drive-thru window said, "What?"
Just quit. You'd make way more money as a drug dealer anyway.
*OSIT.
ODD HUMAN BEHAVIOR
My friends and I used to tell our parents we were spending the night at each other's houses and then meet up and camp out.
My uncle drove the rear end of a ladder truck. He was very, very good at it with zero accidents. For decades they wanted to promote him but with the promotion, he would not be able to drive the truck. He declined and for 45 years he drove trucks from the rear.
When that happened in teachers' meetings I would just make shit up with just enough truth thrown in to make it believable. True things like being given the key to the city by the mayor of Atlanta and having one of my murals on the front page of the New York Times and peeing next to Bo Diddley and having a chat with Merle Haggard or having the only art show at our city art museum that sold out every single piece and having the largest penis in the room.
That's what she said.
Dog Rescue
I think that thoroughbred dogs are vastly overrated. Unless you require a working dog then I urge you to get a mutt. They will love you for it.
I hope this is not his final exam...
I think that each week therapists should pick their most entertaining client and refund the cost of that session.
What do mummies do when they catch you? Like, zombies eat your brains, a vampire drinks your blood, but what does a mummy do?
THE STUFF OF NIGHTMARES
My doctor said that nightmares concerning Impostor Syndrome are quite common.
Picking up a Salamander from Japan
I have a rather powerful nightlight behind a chair that I need to see to go pee and it throws some terrifying shadows sometimes.
They are celebrating Easter in Italy.
I've had it with these motherfucking snakes in my motherfucking ceiling!
Woman flips a 500-pound tire
I used to have nightmares about me being in an emergency situation and not being strong enough to get out of it. Now I'm hardly strong enough to get up out of my recliner.
I once saw a young woman's shirt get caught up in a body grinder in sculpture class. It ripped it right off her body and the only thing that saved her from injury was that in her panic she whirled around and around wrapping the cord around her body until she unplugged it.

You would have some of these things but you will not have single payer health care.
Not long ago the democrats had the house, senate and the presidency. Nothing was done.
All politicians are bought and paid for. Big pharma contributes to both parties, that way they never lose.
I'm all for single payer health care. I am old enough to be on medicare. I had a medical emergency a few years ago. The bill came to over $5,000.00. My share was $95.00.
Be nice to have but it ain't happening.
Dear Gunguy, "Having" the House, Senate, and Presidency is one thing. Having a filibuster-proof majority is quite another.

A4; I see no evidence that the Democrats want to iprove life in the ways you mention. Particularly health care, where they are just as much on the take as Republicans.
B1-Attenborough is still a lying arsehole.
B4-Lady Di was a neurotic toss pot, like her children. Why do you praise all the wrong people?
Dear Mike, I praise you every chance I get.
