 One Of My Very Own

Speaking of...

^^B7^^

I didn't recognize this.

It's Mecca.

Speaking of ambiguity...

^^B9^^

There's a full-size V2 in the Deutsches Museum

It connects the current and historic flight exhibits with the space flight exhibits. The historic flight exhibit contains numerous Nazi planes, so this weapon of terror in the Museum also bridges the gap between WW2 military development and spaceflight, as the V2 was the basis for the US space program.

Coronary Stint

I might need something similar in my leg.

If you lived thousands of years ago and that happened next door to you then I could imagine you looking up to the heavens and begging whatever sent it not to send another one.

But after all these generations there are those who lack respect for the power.

HUMAN BEHAVIOR


^^C1^^

I find that extraordinarily distressing.

^^C2^^

Two words: Situational Awareness.

^^C3^^

And...

I'm a gambler. If you believe that I will bet you my house against your house that it's a crock of shit.

And...

There is a playbook for lying like that. If you lie all the time then people get too exhausted to fact check. And as you can see, it works.

There are those who say that all politicians lie the same amount. I do not believe that. 

^^C4^^

My niece and her husband are finally parents.

They have been trying for so long and they will be great parents.

^^C5^^

She comes with Terms and Conditions.

^^C6^^

Is that true?

^^C7^^

The only food I like more than fish is duck.

I often think about the great leap forward for mankind when they domesticated horses...and it's the perfect segue.

Little kids dressed like Batman walking around with his live parents. Fucking posers.

They don't need a whole fence to keep them in place.

Many animals must love us for doing that.

It's a normal clock, the hands move as they should. Only difference is the entire mechanism rotates anticlockwise.
