Looks like an Agaricus from here ... thats just a guess though. Maybe a mycena? They typically grow on decaying wood though... I don't get into the million little ones varieties too much. There are too many too similar to each other.

Just think how history would have changed if the sea levels had stayed where they were 16,000 years ago. :eek:

Inventions that didn't quite get of the ground. OK, one or two did.

An archive of weird and wacky innovations has been unearthed by an amateur historian as he trawled through a collection of images spanning the last 100 years. Businessman Chris Hodge, from Chislehurst, south east London, has collected more than 250,000 images and is having them all digitally scanned and archived. Above, an experimental flying bicycle. http://s28.postimg.org/lcgr0ug0d/inv...p_3058070k.jpg An experimental gyrocopter http://s30.postimg.org/lpfwoo69t/inv...r_3058064k.jpg ...and a Land Rover hovercraft |

Anyway, here's a couple more: http://s29.postimg.org/e50cx5fzb/inv...e_3058054k.jpg http://s9.postimg.org/kv1ehuh0f/inve...3_3058077k.jpg The photos, taken from various British trade and business-to-business media titles including Motorcycle News, Speed & Power Magazine and Nursing Times, document Britons trying to invent the next big thing. Gyr King, founding director of Easyart, said the collection is a "hidden gem of British social history". He added: "The vast majority of these images have remained unseen for several decades and shine a light on the extraordinary inventions, machines, people, places and events in Britain's past." |

One must remember to wear proper attire when taking one's fancy fucking boat out of one's fancy fucking boat.

I guess the military wasn't buying though because it was offered to the common rabble as a kit, in the sixties. |

I'd druther have the Rover if it was modernized and reliable. But I'm afraid going anywhere would be as complicated as taking the Stanley Steamer, after snipping the balls off the moths.

A couple months ago I had occasion to use the old joke "Have you ever smelled mothballs?" Of course, the guy said "Oh, yeah." And then I issued the punch line "How'd you get their legs apart?", and the guy says "Huh?". I said "Their legs, how'd you get 'em apart?", and he shakes his head and goes "Do whut now?". I had to draw him a picture (almost literally). :facepalm: |

Obviously a publicity shot. I think it was for the mayor's push to vaccinate New Yorkers against Smallpox, which had reared it's ugly head.

Darn cops...
|
Da pohleeses 'round hyere won't jump you off. They won't unlock yer door, neither. I know damn good and well they wouldn't change your tire. You'd get a ticket and towed for being a traffic hazard.
Legal liability, I suppose. |
The upper right pic is PA, not sure what country the others are from.

Bruce, even though their job is to always do good, sometimes cops do good, sometimes they do bad. When they do good, they're doing their job and, unfortunately, don't get recognized. When they do bad, they, deservedly, get vilified.

It's the exceptions that murder people. These are exceptions also, way over and above protect and serve.
|
Yep.

As long as the right people make money, it is utterly irrelevant who dies, from which continent they hail, or how many are killed. I keep waiting for the day when everyone on the planet understands that there are no nations, no policies, no governments, no beliefs. Just money. Money, and sufficient power to get money.

This is like the fisherman holding the fish close to the camera for the picture. But those nuts are each the size of his HEAD!
|
It's not skewed perspective, I've seen many old boars with balls that big. Thirty minute orgasms take ammo. :haha:
|
BUT, where's the head????

Turned to his right.
