The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall, one of the most famous ghost photographs of all time, originally taken for Country Life and first published in December 1936

I remember staring at that photo in a book about "real ghosts" in elementary school.

Just last week some video was released showing a poltergeist, or "angry ghost," which appeared on the stage and spoke in tongues.

Bunny absolutely DESTROYS agility course. I assume. I have no basis for comparison. To be honest this bunny might have just posted rookie numbers and I wouldn't be the wiser.

Road thug robs local priests.

Birds instinctively peck out a fire.

Baby rhino defends his mom.


The family that plays together stays together.


I'd hate to have to sit next to this one-ton Tommy.

You can only push a puppy so far before he fights back.


Cute puppy demands you respecc his dicc.

This dog is ready for his Eyes Wide Shut sex orgy.

"Bring the young one to me."

Adorable puppy says this bed is my Love Gym.

This puppy has his Gimp Mask on.

He may look like a virgin, but make no mistake, this puppy fucks hard.

Ass gas or grass, no one rides for free.

Puppy says "While you're down there..."

This dog is reflecting on his last nut.

___________________________________

I still believe that those photographs that show "apparitions" are merely proving the Theory of Relativity, and the fact that past, present, and future can coexist simultaneously. The right conditions have to occur is all. And, to this date we haven't figured out what those conditions are to establish evidence of a Block Universe.

Incidentally, I believe this same premise can be applied to those electronic voice phenomena (EVP) recordings that people claim to be ghosts or demons speaking. Instead, it a being speaking in the past or future as defined in a Block universe where past, present and future exist simultaneously.

He replied in support to an X post that quoted Trump saying if DC doesn't get their act together soon on crime he is going to take over the city and have the feds run it not long ago.

The DOGE young guy who goes by Big Balls tried to stop some guys who were harassing a woman last night and they went after him instead and beat the shit out him. Musk was not happy.

55 I haven't gone through today's earlier threads, so I don't know if this was discussed:

"Acting president Jill Biden had to diffuse a diplomatic crisis after Harris snuck into the Situation Room to watch Kung Fu Panda 4 before calling the Chinese ambassador to complain about the lack of diversity."

Apparently, if this is true, the Biden and Harris camps are warily watching each other over what is contained in the book Harris is about to release:

"Journalist Mark Halperin revealed on Friday that Biden's team is wary of what Harris plans to say in her upcoming book, 107 Days, and is prepared to unleash some "Palinesque stories about how much they tried to help her be prepared to be vice president and be in a position to run, and how much they decided, 'Not happening. She's not up to this.'" If the sentient individuals close to Joe Biden "feel threatened" by Harris's revelations, the situation "is gonna escalate in a big way," Halperin said. "And she will have a hard time defending against the stories if that dam bursts.""

92 As black-humorously funny as it would be, they're not tossing live pets into the tiger enclosure.

The zoo points to guinea pigs, rabbits and chickens as possible donations. After being euthanized, the animals will be used as fodder, the zoo said.

"That way, nothing goes to waste - and we ensure natural behavior, nutrition and well-being of our predators," the zoo said.


Not sure where euthanasized pets create more "natural behavior" than butcher-shop leftovers, but maybe it makes sense in the original Danish.

NYT Editorial on Oct. 9, 1903:
" it might be assumed that the flying machine which will really fly might be evolved by the combined and continuous efforts of mathematicians and mechanicians in from one million to ten million years — provided, of course, we can meanwhile eliminate such little drawbacks and embarrassments as the existing relation between weight and strength in inorganic materials. No doubt the problem has attractions for those it interests, but to the ordinary man it would seem as if effort might be employed more profitably."

147 NASA planners envisioned a crewed Mars mission in the 1982-1985 time frame. The infrastructure was built. The VAB could process four (4) Saturn V rockets at a time, and three (3) launchpads were planned though only two were built. Over 100 Saturn V rocket launches were planned, though only a dozen were built.

We should have had routine, affordable lunar orbit tourism long ago. Instead our “leaders” threw it all away. They can’t even get into earth orbit now. After 60 years, they are trying to learn it all over again with great difficulty. And they are extremely risk averse, compounding the problem. Very sad.

It's not quite that efficient, and they still get water resupply.

You also have to do something with the feces, the ISS puts their feces into containers and ejects them to burn up in the earths atmosphere.

You can't do that on a manned mission to the moon as you would end up littering the path to Mars with potential collision obstacles on the path.

Again, the logistics of getting people to Mars are daunting and not easily solved.

204 NASA planners envisioned a crewed Mars mission in the 1982-1985 time frame. The infrastructure was built. The VAB could process four (4) Saturn V rockets at a time, and three (3) launchpads were planned though only two were built. Over 100 Saturn V rocket launches were planned, though only a dozen were built.

We should have had routine, affordable lunar orbit tourism long ago. Instead our “leaders” threw it all away. They can’t even get into earth orbit now. After 60 years, they are trying to learn it all over again with great difficulty. And they are extremely risk averse, compounding the problem. Very sad.

He listed both his house in Maryland and his condo in California as his primary residence to get better loan terms. That's a clear felony, mortgage fraud.

Check it out, buddy-- The Barn Cat Lifestyle™ ain't all that bad!

I get to be outside whenever I want. I get to go inside, too, if I sit by the door long enough to be seen. Especially if it's cold or rainy. Sweet deal, my man!

I get to chase the mice and rats and birds and grasshoppers, catch them when I can and eat them if I want. JQ disposes of the leftovers for me! And gives me treats when I leave a whole one for her. She even feeds me tasty kibble 'just because' -- especially if I haven't left anything at all for a while...

Don't let Wolfus bully you, man. Stand your ground for what you really want.

The Apollo missions were careful about solid waste/garbage disposal. Liquid waste, mostly water was not a problem. It just freezes and sublimes away. There were just a few Apollo missions. The odds of the random piece of something from a previous mission hitting the next mission were very low, but they didn't want to take any chances.

They left a lot on the Moon. And some of it crashed with the Ascent stage. And they kept a record. A total of 96 bags of feces, urine, and vomit were left behind on the Moon.

I found him crouched and squeaking in distress under the window air conditioner, three feet from the door. When I scooped him up, he was perfectly happy to be brought back in. Scared himself. Now he hovers around the door from time to time, but he doesn't really want to dash out.

I believe we cannot know the state of Ozzy's soul at the time of his passing, so we cannot know whether he is in hell, purgatory or heaven. Judge not, lest ye be judged applies in most cases.

Prudence would say it isn't a good idea to dabble in the satanic, but nearly every sin is forgivable if one is given the gift of perfect contrition. You and I can't know that about anyone but ourselves.

When my cousin committed suicide, I asked my priest what on earth I was to do with that. He said, "Pray." He made it clear that nothing was a lost cause, until the certainty of the afterlife, and none of us is there yet.

There is a quite the thermal cycling that goes on the surface of the Moon. A lunar day is a month long, roughly 14 days of light, and 14 days of night, with surface temps swinging from +260F to -280F.

You’re forgetting the temperature swing is also hotter than hell, too. Roughly +200F and -200F below. Something like that.

Apollo missions landed in early lunar morning, daytime on the moon lasts about two weeks. So it was about + 90F in the sun. Anything thrown on the surface gets alternately frozen and roasted.

Apollo landing sites are off limits by international agreements. No artifact collecting, that includes astro-turds. Copraphiles

For the most part, rock music is like pro wrestling. Their personas are an act, and the audience is in on the act. There are exceptions, of course. But in general, taking rock seriously enough to regard its participants as evil is like genuinely hating the heels in wrestling. Virtually no one is worshipping the Devil. Kinda like how kids trick or treating on Halloween are not in league with Hell, even if the holiday is all about witches, monsters, and spooks.
