    While the London Bridge may be awesome and the Golden Gate even more so, here’s one that beats them both to a pulp in coolness. 

    This is a seriously cool bridge, located in Leeuwarden, Netherlands (where else?) You’ve got to love how the roadway has a cutout for the arm to drop into.. awesomely clever!

    One thing I’d like to know is, since there are so many Dutchmen in northwest Iowa, why we don’t have a bridge like this near Sioux Falls. Granted, they’re mostly a generation or two removed from the Old Country, and we don’t have much for canals or boat traffic… But still, what’s the hold up?

    Cat History

     

    the domestic kitty through the ages   


    Cat history, it is generally believed, can be traced back to the Miacis, a weasel like creature that inhabited the earth some 40 or so million years ago. Not just cat history, but the history of all land dwelling carnivores can be traced back to the Miacis, and that includes dogs!


    The Egyptians loved their felines   


    The Ancient Egyptians had developed a method of storing grain and other food supplies. Naturally these stores attracted rats and mice. It was not long before cats were tempted by the abundance of the rodent population.

    Cats were mummified after death and buried in sanctified plots, often with their supplies of mummified mice for the afterlife! One such plot alone has been found to contain the remains of 300,000 cats, and has proved an invaluable resource for studying the history of the cat.

    Mostly Trivial Fun Stuff:

     

    A paraprosdokian is a figure of speech in which the latter part 

    of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected in a way that

    causes the reader or listener to reframe or reinterpret the first part. 

     

    It is frequently used for humorous or dramatic effect, sometimes 

    producing an anticlimax.

    For this reason, it is extremely popular among comedians and satirists.

     

    Examples:

    Behind every successful man is his woman. Behind the fall of a

    successful man is usually another woman.

     

     

    A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

     

     

    I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.

     

     

    I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn’t work that way. 

    So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

     

     

    To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first 

    and call whatever you hit the target.

    How much do YOU know about Telephone history?

    Hello! Is any one there? Pick up the Phone!   


    The first prototype of the sound-proof phone booth was built in 1877. Mr. Watson, Alexander Graham Bell's trusty assistant, used a bunch of bed blankets around a box. He created the booth to prevent his landlady from listening in on his conversations. Some callers didn't like using the early phone booths because the doors would get stuck, forcing users to fight their way out.


    In the early 1880's some well-to-do telephone owners started the unusual trend of paying to have a theatre employee hold a telephone receiver backstage, transmitting live plays and operas into their living rooms.


    After all, microwave manufacturers would not want to reduce their profit by promoting the dangers of their product, and have undertaken drastic actions in the past to keep their secrets hidden.

    Cadavers

     

    What happens to our bodies?   

    The various stages of decomposition can help determine how long a body has been dead.


    The first stage is self digestion, and is where the body eats itself, also known as autolysis. This happens when the cells break down the body into elements the cells can eat; this creates a liquid that gets between the layers of skin and makes the skin peel off. During this stage, flies (when present) start to lay eggs in the openings of the body: eyes, nostrils, mouth, ears, open wounds, and other orifices. Hatched larvae (maggots) of blowflies subsequently get under the skin and start to eat the body.


    Check out this site to see how much your body will be worth!

    Trinity Day

     

     

     

    a.k.a. the day we entered the nuclear age.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

  •  

     

     

    A day of lament and contemplation of humanity’s curiosity.

     

    On 16 july 1945, at 05:29:45 a.m. mst., in the white sands proving ground [NM, USA] the first atomic explosion was detonated; code name: Trinity

    Trinity was a test of an implosion-design plutonium bomb; the same basic design of the bomb that was dropped 24 days later on Nagasaki [the second nuclear bomb dropped on japan].
