True story:

My brother and his wife were expecting their first child. Brother had long brown hair, wife blonde. Baby came out with bright red hair. My brother was taken aback, then remembered the UPS man had bright red hair.

The wife DID have family with bright red hair over a few generations.....

25 For some reason the father reminds me of Bluto in the Popeye cartoons. Mom bears no resemblance, however, to Olive Oyl.

This is nicely done, from the expression on New Dad's face to the bowl of gruel at the mother's bedside and Dad's leather case on the floor. It looks oversized, as if it holds specialized tools that are longer than could be contained in a regular dispatch case.

50 This is a lovely painting. Probably an experienced father, since he is supporting the baby's head. I love the contrast between the brawny father and the delicate mother. Do you think he is a blacksmith? The leather apron and the big muscles suggest it. Just a beautiful family moment.

Formula.

Posted by: Duh at December 17, 2024 09:42 AM (dg+HA)

60 I suggest, too, that the child is a boy. "Ne" (your mind can provide the accent over the "e") is the male construction for the past tense of "to be born" in French. "Nee" is the feminine form, once seen in the full names of married women, preceding their maiden name. "Lucille Gill, nee [born] Dalou," for example.

Or it might just be a generic use of the male form for either a boy or a girl. Qui sait? Garcon! Another Cointreau, s'il vous plait!

96 A lovely scene, simple but poignant. The purity of the white cloth contrasts with the darker, rougher weave of the husband's clothing. Gill really captures the textures in the wood, the man's leather apron and the cloth.

Which reminds me of a joke: A social worker is traveling in the backwoods of West Virginia when she sees a slatternly-looking woman on a porch breastfeeding a very large child.

"Madam," she asked, "How old is that boy?"

"Six."

"Oh, good heavens! That's much too old! Why don't you wean him?"

"I try, but every time I do, he throws big rocks at me."

"Tuffet: No such word. Many illustrations show Miss Muffet seated on a three-legged stool, but as many others prefer to picture her perched on a grassy hillock."

189 From some subversive French web site: This painting follows a personal tragedy of the painter who lost his own child aged six months in 1880. The artist was able to draw inspiration from his own face for the figure of the worker.

From another subversive French web site: [Gills activities included] Chansonnier, singer-songwriter, cartoonist, poet, caricaturist, painter, communard. Geesh, the guy in 1960s hippy mash up terms was Robert Crumb, Frank Zappa, Abbie Hoffman and Charles Bukowski all in one.

He also was locked up in a mental institution about the time he made today's painting. His body was found in a shed in 1885 in the Charenton area of Paris.

Right on. Another classic crazy 19th century French artist.
Verdict: Double Plus Good

Painting Verdict:
His cartoons were better.

“There’s just no value — with respect to my colleagues in the mainstream press — in a general election, to speaking to the New York Times or speaking to the Washington Post, because those [readers] are already with us,” Flaherty said.

Biden Commutes Sentence of Billionaire Hamas Leader’s Terrorist Brother | Nick R. Hamilton, Slay News

Lame-duck President Joe Biden has commuted the prison sentence of Islamic terrorist Mufid Abdulqader.

Abdulqader is the half-brother of Khaled Mashaal, the billionaire Hamas leader, Breitbart reported.

He was convicted of funneling money to the terrorist organization.

Abdulqader’s clemency came among a slew of others from Biden this week.

With the stroke of a pen, Biden issued 39 pardons and commuted the sentences of 1,500 convicts.

Among those released from prison are drug traffickers and cartel leaders.

Abdulqader was convicted in 2008 along with four others of using an American Muslim charity, Holy Land Foundation, to fund the terror group with its donations.

Also named in that case was the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

Notably, CAIR had a hand in softening the Biden-Harris administration’s stance on anti-Semitism.

Some believe Abdulqader’s was about more than mercy.

The release of Abdulqader comes as hostage negotiations continue following the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.

440 I have friends in the car tuner business and I keep telling them they need to develop sounds for electric cars. They would be like ringtones. Just about every EV brand has a signature sound (or sounds) that you can have the car make.

If I had an EV I would want it to sound like an F14

The sound of hamsters running in a squeaky hamster wheel.

That's not Trudeau. That's Jagmeet Singh, leader of the explicitly Commie NDP, and noted Rolex model and Trudeau ass-kisser.

Happy Birthday. Sponge. I thought it was another sea creature ( Flounder) that was having a birthday but it was you! Now that you're of legal age you can go get a drink.😉

Please continue for the First Lady.

446 in a random group of 23 people, there is about a 50 percent chance that two people have the same birthday.

Wolfus, why 23 people? That's a weird number.
Posted by: Bulg


It's easier to calculate the other probability, that everyone in a group has a different birthday.

First, think of it with dice. If you roll one die, it can be any number 1-6. A second die roll will NOT match 5/6 of the time. A third die roll will not match either of those 4/6 of the time. A fourth die roll will not match any of the previous three 3/6 of the time.

So the chance of rolling 4 different numbers on 4 dice is (5/6)x(4/6)x(3/6)=0.278=27.8%.

The chance of NOT rolling 4 different numbers on 4 dice is one minus that, so 1-0.278=0.722=72.2%

Birthdays work the same way, with 365-sided dice (ignoring leap year). For two people, not sharing a birthday happens 364/365 of the time . For three people, it's (364/365)x(363/365). etc. And the chance of two people sharing a birthday is one minus that number.

That number gets below 0.5 (50%) when you get to 23 people, (364/365)x(363/365)x(...)x(343/365) = 0.492.

1-0.492=0.508. A 50.8% chance two people in 23 share a birthday.

447 .....and I rounded off wrong at the end, there.

0.493, and 0.507=50.7% for 23 people.

448 I read somewhere at somepoint that a long time ago it was felt that baby girls often look like their Dada's. To prove parentage...especially to fathers wanting boys, and not be rejected.

For me, firstborn and all female, there was no doubt at all who my father was. I look much more like him, as do others born after me and through my Daddy DNA. It is apparently strong. I see it in photos of others, this same deal. Sons look like mothers, girls look like fathers. My brothers look more like my mother.

Of course there are many girls who look like their mothers. But in this painting you can see that he's inspecting the child for his own imprint.
