Quite a mixed bag this week...let's look at the big pictures!
The only thing funnier would be to have the guy smoking a cigarette while carrying a 5-gallon bucket of gasoline. The very people who exhort us to practice safety sometimes need more practice themselves.
For all the home handypeople, this is called "Drilling a pilot hole to insert the wall-gripper with a hook so you can hang up the picture of the grain silo that Artesia painted so well." It's also the prelude to having to get the vacuum cleaner out to suckulate the drywall dust that the hole makes. This handy idea is worth it! I just put a pad of sticky notes in my handy-tote!
I saw this on several fire dept websites this week. These ramps are used to allow traffic of the motor vehicular sort to proceed along a roadway without damaging the charged hose line or cutting off the flow of water. They won't do a daggone thing except get squished when a train comes along, but at least the thought was there.
I love this one, not only because it uses the word "snigger" about snide morons, but because it's a demonstration that sometimes the cottage-cheesy cracker barrel folksy common sense lore that some find so enchanting is just not based in scientific fact, no matter how much it's repeated. Space exploration is best left to people who know what they're doing; I think we can all agree on that.
I once told someone that I examined the early, classic Simpsons episodes with the same intensity that a Kennedy scholar uses to look through the Zapruder footage. Question is, is this an intentional "mistake" or an actual goof? The photo shows Moe Szyslak, nefarious bartender, addressing townspeople along with Mayor Joe Quimby beneath the statue of Jebediah Springfield, founder and namesake of Bart's home town. Eagle-eyed readers will be able to spot the boo-boo and write back to me, telling me what they spot.
I understand that Clarence Thomas, who holds a position on the Supreme Court, has not spoken out loud there, has not so much as asked a question or posited anything during legal arguments, since February 22, 2006. Perhaps he has been thinking over what would be an appropriate punishment for these jackanapes who gridlock traffic around the clock. Clarence, speak to me!
