The Saturday Picture Show, January 2, 2021

 

Places I would like to experience someday include Novosibirsk, Russia where the temperature dips to a mild - 49°F and you can freeze your noodle.
There's a special prize for anyone who can point out the significance of this cluster of implements! I don't have a prize, but surely someone must. What are these things?
Remember a couple of years ago, just after Farmville and Candy Crush, the big thing on Facebook was pictures of houses like this, with the caption "Would you live here for a year for $100,000?" If this place has decent wi-fi, I would pay that much to live there for a year. It's in Washington State.
Play sad songs for people on this, the world's smallest violin.
This was the picture that came with an article about how some guy started with a single paper clip and kept trading up until he got a house. Uh huh. 
Imagine being an 8th-grade wood shop teacher, and you have to tell a room of 14-year-olds that this tool is a "bastard" file. But it is!
Cooking tip for nuking a potato: put little toothpick legs on it to keep it off the ground, so to speak. Better tip for baking a potato: put it in the real oven for an hour. What are you, in a hurry or something?
This might have been the picture that got Bing Crosby to give up the hooch. Do you see what I see?
