Well, by all means, send this Darling Child Murderer to the Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville, Tennessee. Look at the great results they achieved with the Torturous Murderer Christa Pike. I am sure they can grant Shavon Gaydon thirty years of Rest & Relaxation, as they did Christa Pike. Then they can let the people of her choosing inject her with two shots of diluted Geritol into (anywhere but a vein). THEN CALL 911 TO COME AND SAVE HER LIFE! AND by the way…To Hell With the idiots who say poor Christa suffered during the failed execution.

IT SEEMS TO ME…Happiness is under-rated

October 7, 2026October 7, 2026 tolleystopicsLeave a comment

There is a story circulating on the internet that is attributed to former Beatle John Lennon. It is said that he claimed that as a schoolboy he was asked by his teacher what he wanted to be when he grew up. He replied that he wanted to be happy. The teacher responded that he didn’t understand the question. And John said you don’t understand life. I’m unable to find any confirmation that Lennon ever actually said this, but it illustrates my point. (And it’s interesting to note that in the Peanuts comic strip Linus once answered the question of what he wanted to be when he grew up with “outrageously happy”.)

Without a doubt happiness is a major motivator for practically everyone and probably for a lot of animals as well. Satisfying our needs sustains us and makes us secure, and also provides a measure of happiness, but satisfying one’s wants is done essentially to achieve happiness. Our country’s founders recognized the importance of the right to pursue happiness. Achieving goals and attaining fame or fortune are just methods of pursuing happiness. Our hobbies are done to bring enjoyment into our lives. Too many foods are eaten not for the nutrition they provide, but because they are joyful to eat. On our walks Murphy, my dog usually stops and rolls around on someone’s lawn simply because it makes him happy.

When you stop to think of all the things you do because they make you happy, you get an appreciation of how much of a motivator happiness is. When I grow up, I want to be happy. (I’m not sure I could handle outrageously happy, but it is a worthy goal. And, actually I’m pretty happy now.)

The vampire fish impales their prey with their long, sharp fangs. Their fangs can grow as long as six inches.

The great white shark is an example of an apex predator; which means, as an adult, it has no natural predators in its ecosystem.

Studying the earwax of a blue whale can tell scientists the story of its life. The technique, described in the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, can be used as a tool to understand the whale’s hormonal and chemical biography. It can also be a window into how pollutants, long discontinued, can still pervade the environment today.

Bison may look slow and not very agile, but they can run at 35 miles per hour and jump as high as 6 feet off the ground.

Supernova Remnant Pa 30

Explanation: “Happy New Year!” No, wait, this is not a fireworks display. This image shows Nebula Pa 30, observed with the Gemini North Telescope in Hawai’i. It is likely the remnant of an old supernova explosion: separate historical records by Chinese, Japanese and Arabic astronomers tell of a “guest star” that appeared in the sky for 185 days in the year 1181. It is believed that this bright new point of light came from the supernova that caused the fireworks in Pa 30. Astronomers don’t know exactly what happened in this unusual explosion, classified as a Type Iax supernova, but it is thought to be caused by the merger of two white dwarfs. The mysterious central star in the image is extremely hot and produces a strong wind, possibly forming the radial filaments. Look closely at them: those pearl-like knots stringing the filaments are 4 light-days in diameter. Understanding how a supernova created this amazing nebula continues an 845-year old mystery (and counting).
