Whimsical Art…Part 2

 

I think…

After realizing that people have actually created Dead Fly Art….I think there must be too much alcohol, too many drugs or too much spare time available.

When I think of Quick Wit, I think of Winston Churchill….

Winston Churchill topped a poll of history’s funniest insults.

A member of Parliament, Bessie Braddock, said, “Winston, you are drunk, and what’s more, you are disgustingly drunk.”

Churchill replied, “My dear, you are ugly, and what’s more, you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly.”

 

Fun Facts: Human Body & Behavior Part 13

Approximately fifty percent of Asians have trouble metabolizing alcohol because they are missing a liver enzyme  that’s needed to process it.

Exercising increases productivity. Having a regular exercise routine can make you happier, smarter, and more energetic, and thus last longer throughout the day.

The Ben Franklin effect is a psychological phenomenon where someone who has done a favor for someone else is more likely to do another favor for that person than they would if they had received a favor from that person.

Your blood actually appears green underwater at about thirty feet because there is no red light underwater. As sunlight travels through the water, it filters out colors starting with the longest wavelengths. Red light is absorbed first and disappears within the first 30 feet, meaning there is simply no red light left to reflect off the blood.

Little Johnny And His Train Set

Little Johnny was playing with his train set on the living room floor. “ALL ABOARD Dumb Asses!” he shouted. “Get your asses on the train now and sit down. Keep your hands to yourself and don’t act like groping perverts.

“JOHNNY!” exclaimed his mother. “We DO NOT talk like that in the house, or anywhere young man!” “You sit in the chair for an hour to think about your terrible language”.

After an hour, Johnny was allowed to return to the playset, where he politely said “Ladies and gentlemen, please board carefully, kindly take your seats, and have a wonderful day!”

“Oh, and if any of you wonder why the train has been delayed for an hour, see the bitch in the kitchen”.

California frauds exposed by Shirley.

The only thing the Democrat-Socialist want is FEDERAL TAX MONEY.   The states have balance budget provisions in their Constitutions.  America’s debt is $39,000,000,000,000 ( that’s TRILLION ) with nothing to show for it but rich politicians and criminals.   Interest is a trillion per year.

Give Shirley the ‘Presidential Medal Of Freedom Award’.

Astronomy Picture of the Day

The Corona Australis Molecular Cloud and the Chandelier Cluster

Explanation: The Southern Crown (Corona Australis) dazzles with young and ancient celestial jewels. The Corona Australis Cloud is a collage of reflection and emission nebulae on the left of today’s image. At 430 light years away, this cloud is one of the closest star-forming regions to Earth. It contains gas cool enough (-260 Celsius or -440 Fahrenheit) to collapse into protostars. Recently formed stars paint blue hues across the cloud as their light reflects off surrounding material. The waltz of the R Coronae Australis binary system stirs up the nebula NGC 6729. The younger of the pair ionizes nearby gas with its ultraviolet light, causing it to glow. The Chandelier Cluster (NGC 6723) dangles from the top right, but is actually tens of thousands of light years farther away than its apparent star-forming neighbor. While NGC 6723 experienced multiple periods of star formation creating slightly younger stars, the chandelier twinkles with stars almost as old as the universe.
