Saturn's moon Iapetus

Attachment 46626

Super cool!

Highest mountains in the solar system, has had three different names, Saturn's third largest moon, but the most distant orbit by far, tidally locked, widely varying albedos (accounting for the non-straight appearance of the terminator in your picture.)

Oh God, I can smell it from here.

Attachment 46633

It's "Doobie", the joint-growing dog!

...from Sarah Jessica Parker's wedding...

Attachment 46695

The magic spell ended at noon, and she reverted to her horse leg self. She should have paid closer attention to both her watch and the old hag who explained this to her.

She's the bride... of course she's the centaur of attention.

:lol:

^wss^

I see what you did there.

:lol2:

RIP Mr Benn, ya done good.

I may have posted this somewhere...apologies, if so.

Attachment 47031

This qualifies as random, maybe even off the wall. Anyway, I came across this picture of Queen Mary in 1911. She was pretty hot for a woman in her mid-forties in 1911. Unlike today, they were usually pretty beat up by that age back then. I down suppose she did much housework though. :haha:

A walking target for an audacious jewel thief.

Yeah, her hands wouldn't need Madge's attention. No dishwashing or floor-scrubbing for her.

Some kid wanted to take his girlfriend's picture with the Ukrainian Riot Police. What struck me is the faces of the riot police without visors. They look nothing like the infamous Berkut they replaced after it was disbanded.

Wow ... no. These guys are just babies. Vscheh neh vsoh hloh, ivzhe cazhe meni scho robiteh ... phonetically. Roughly translated: 'they want to tell me what to do when they're still wet behind the ears' (the image is of chicks that haven't dried off yet after hatching). I'm sure limey can say it far better.

A million people waiting in line...

...for what, a table at Cracker Barrel?


ETA: I just looked it up. Ugh & eww. They're all waiting for their chance to bathe in the Ganges.

No. No, indeed. Hell no.

:headshake

For people who think they're a relic just for show, or for people to try and make laugh, think again. :headshake

This guy argued with the cop, then tried to push his way into the palace.

I guess Thomas got on that shit...

Umm...why are there holes in electrical plugs? Why do some have them, and some don't?

Srsly.

Probably so a nice socket can have a little catch there, to make it harder to pull out accidentally.

FWIW, from http://home.howstuffworks.com/two-fl...plug-holes.htm

Thx Spexx. I hadn't tied the holes to lock-out protocols, and, I've not looked inside the wall socket before, so, ddin't know about the 'bumps'.

Neither did I. I guess I could have put that in "What I learned today", too

Come on, you don't have to actually look inside a socket to discover stuff like that, any fool with a fork and thirst for knowledge is bound to learn *something*...

"ddin't" Musta been ddrunk.

:shocking:

Meet my neighbor's dog, Ghillie.

R-A-G-G M-O-P-P Rag Mop

It's like a sponge. It's like a towel.

It's like a OHGODITSMELLS.

Maybe it's a horse. :D

Let's go surfin' now
Everybody's learning how
Come on and safari with me
(Come on and safari with...)

It's a caribou margarita!

Wow. I like that carpet pattern. What is that, some sort of berber?

Mmmmaybe.

It's too bad that I've gotten to the point that I don't trust any quote attributed to George Carlin. This one actually sounds like he might have said it, but so much BS has been falsely attributed to him that I just can't do it anymore.

I wish some official body would come up with a website of the complete official words of George Carlin so you could easily double check this stuff.

Just saw a show of him on tv here 2 weeks ago...
Don't know if it was exactly the same , but i can remember something like that what he said....

From Shorpy...
UM... United Nations... in 1942? :confused:

Probably family hostages in China.

Yeah, wasn't founded til after WWII, was it?

Photo was obviously staged, and apparently over-rehearsed (re: hot dog guy).

Yeah, '45 I think, for the purpose of preventing WW III.

I think they're referring to nations united against the Axis powers.

Was the handle "allies" applied retroactively?

I don't think so, but it'd be an interesting thing to tease out. Maybe the focus grouping of "United Nations" didn't go well.

The phrase 'Allied Nations' was used during WWII, I'm almost positive, as well as 'Allied Forces'.

As in "Yesterday, in [insert French town], Allied Nations Forces under [insert American/British military leader] relieved a month long siege yadayadayada".

Yeah, I just yadayada'd World War Two...:mg:

Spent poison gas shells during WW I (swat the filename says anyhow)

Attachment 47730

This is Conrad Hayer. He is 103 years old in this picture.

Attachment 47758

Mr. Hayer has the distinction of being the earliest-born person ever photographed. The pic (a daguerreotype) was taken in 1852, Mr. Hayer was born in 1749. He is further distinguished by being the only Revolutionary War veteran who served under George Washington, and crossed the Delaware to Valley Forge, to be photographed.

After the war he moved to Maine, where he lived until he died at the age of 107.
