Wow, more for the AM/FM than for a Muncie M20 4 speed.

The cans of rotten Baltic herring, which had already expanded due to the powerful fermentation gases inside, were heated by the fire and began to explode over a period of six hours.............

Reports say the fire crews initially believed the explosions were caused by propane bottles.

Surstromming is a traditional dish from northern Sweden. The Baltic herring is fermented in barrels for months before being put in tin cans, where the fermentation process continues.

Several major airlines have banned the fish, external, arguing they are pressurised goods and must be classified as potentially explosive.

The delicacy is so foul-smelling that it is often eaten outside.

Ritz crackers required for surstromming consumption, I would expect.

I snapped this on the way home from work one day. It's hard to see, but that's a wing on the top of the BMW X1.


funky looking cricket in the yard, albino?


termite "tower" of hollow tubes in the old horse barn, probably 3-4" tall.


I think this is a sweat bee that is trailing part of a cobweb.

It is a 1965- the 6th digit of the VIN (after 19437) means 1965. The 7th digit "S" means built in St. Louis. That 1972 date looks like it was typed in with a different font.

The world’s largest potato masher in Plover, Wisconsin.


Approximately 50,000 cords of wood cut and stacked for use at the Anaconda smelter and Butte mines (Montana) ca. 1890.




Santa Monica (1888)

Comments on the window sticker. Some say it’s fake..

The radio almost costs as much as the engine

World's Largest Peanut.
Durant, Oklahoma. Peanuts being what they are, it apparently does not take much effort to create The World's Largest.
