Many art critics will proclaim that 911 as "ART".

A local restaurant offers the "Big Ed" and it is fine for a family of four with two teenage boys as long as they like the same toppings on their burger. I watched a guy come in and eat that entire thing and the fries in the time I ate my more normal size Jumbo burger. If you eat it all in an hour it is free. The guy I watched has eaten it so many times, and they make him pay for his.

Welded Differential!







The "Face on Mars" is a famous rock formation in the Cydonia region that became a global sensation after the Viking 1 orbiter captured an image of it on July 25, 1976. In the original low-resolution photograph, a combination of low sun angles and pixel "bit errors" created shadows that strikingly resembled a human face, complete with eyes, a nose, and a mouth. This led to decades of speculation about extraterrestrial monuments until the Mars Global Surveyor returned to the site in 2001 with much more advanced technology. Using its high-resolution camera, the Surveyor revealed that the "face" was actually a natural, eroded mesa roughly 1.5 kilometers across, proving that the earlier humanoid appearance was simply a product of pareidolia—the human brain's tendency to see familiar patterns in random shapes.

1909 Ripley, Payne County, Oklahoma. Construction of suspension bridge.


I built and flew most of these kits. I bought dozens of the Voodoo flying wings. We used them for combat. Try to clip the other guys streamer off. I did the math and with the 0.40 CC engine with nitro-methane fuel it went 110MPH in level flight. It took teenager reflexes to fly it and not crash. We often had mid-air crashes. Buy a new kit for the cost of mowing two yards, and build and fly again.

I'm pretty sure that there was a lot more to it than that.

I saw this and had a couple of initial thoughts. Hmmm. A '67 Chev. A meme put together by someone who can't write proper English.

These days, that seems to be the rule rather than the exception. I often wonder when I see similar "did the meme generator have a character limit?" And then I think "no, the creator of the meme was just an idiot."
