Watch out for Great Tits and Dancing Boobies

This week, an article in TIME says that the global warming is causing the Great Tits to starting laying earlier each year:


A pair of Great Tits in the wild

Yes, we need to keep an eye out for Great tits, they even have fan clubs devoted to Great Tits:



I’ve always been a fan of Great Tits , but they say that we must also keep a close watch on the dancing boobies:


Dancing Boobies are also important

Man cut in half, talks to people and survives

All kids know the joke "Where do you find a dog with no legs?" (1), but sometimes tragedy is not funny . . .

This is too weird to make up, a man cut in two by an auto accident, awake and talking to people.

WARNING - Graphic gross video:



Judging from the video, the accident crushed his main arteries, ripping off his legs, yet preventing him from bleeding to death.

It looks like he survived! His name is not given, but I don't think it's Matt:



As more people carry tiny video cameras, I’m sure we will be seeing more of this type of tragedy.

(1) Where do you find a dog with no legs? Right where you left him!

Prevent haintings by painting with Haint Blue!

We are doing a home addition and toying with the old Southern tradition of painting the ceilings Haint blue, a water color designed to keep ghosts and gouls away:


A Haint blue ceiling keeps the ghosts away

The term Haint comes from the old African American contraction for Haunted, where it was pronounced as “Hainted”. Many old slave homes featured Haint blue:


Old Haint blue home

Just as the African Americans control the new trends in the fashion industry, they did the same for home décor, and the crackers soon decided to copy then, making Haint blue an antebellum southern tradition:


Haint blue is attactive and keeps demons away

Haint blue is a tradition because the blue color fools ghosts into thinking it's water, which as everyone knows, ghosts canot cross bodies of water.

By painting the ceiling on the outside of your porch Haint blue, the ghost’s think that it’s water and voila, you are protected against Haintings! Haint blue is a light sky blue, quite attractive:



Traditionally you paint your ceilings, doors and window trim in Haint blue.

Faked Police brutality charges rewarded with $400,000.00 cash

It amazes me how dirtbags will fake police brutality charges. In nasty case below, a scumbag drunk lady won $400,000 with a nuisance lawsuit and almost ruin a man’s career.

In this case, this nasty drunk woman is caught on tape, already injured and holding a tissue up to her bloody nose from an auto accident. In the tape we see her refusing to cooperate and acting like a drunken jackass and being belligerent and nasty to a police officer who demonstrates the patience of a Saint.


Dirtbag drunkard nearly kills people and wins bug cash judgement

Dirtbag Angela Garbarino tried to ruin a policeman’s career with fake brutality claims. Of course, the hysterical lady was drunk as a skunk, injured herself in a car accident, had a bad nosebleed, and then had the nerve to claim that the policeman did it.

People who make false charges of police brutality should go to jail for a long, long time.

Watch this video carefuly. In the first frames it's clear that she alread has a nosebleed and she is obviously drunk, refusing a breath test:



Thankfully, the policeman was reinstated. But justice was not served. Despite her nasty, drunken tirades on tape Garbarino got off Scott free on her DWI charge, despite refusing a breath test (which, judging by her behavior, she would have clearly failed).

Worse yet, she reached an out-of-court settlement last year in which the city paid her $400,000 as compensation for her injuries.

The walking assistant device from Honda!

Walking sticks are so 19th century:



Our Japanese friends at Honda have created a new mobility option, the “walking assistant device”.



At first glance the Honda walking assistant looks like a bad practical joke, with a motorized contraption that you nestle between your nuts while you walk:

They say that it adds stability for people with weak legs, but we must also consider the side effect of being laughed at . . .

The most awesome photo ever taken

The kids toss about the word “awesome”, but this Hubble photo of deep space is truly awesome.

Please take a second to click the link above with has a giant photo that can be navigated like Google Earth. Just do five left-mouse clicks to zoom-in and behold! (You can drag your mouse around the photo).

What appear to be stars in the sky are actually galaxies, Brazilians of them!

With even a modest galaxy like the Milky Way containing 200 billion stars, we now see that there are billions of galaxies!


The truth is out there - galaxies everywhere!

Whenever I hear a scientist acting pretentious I like to remind myself that we are so primitive that we cannot eve see to the end of our own universe. . . .

I was watching the Nova TV show on black holes and they say that the Milky Way is on a collision course with the Andromeda galaxy in only ten million years.

That’s how much time mankind has to devise intergalactic travel, if we are not already extinct by then . . .



This is the true meaning of awesome . . .

Is that first picture of the hubble deep field? I saw a video on that a few weeks ago:

Stop intolerant taxi cab drivers

I’ts sad that religious fundamentalist taxi cab drivers are bringing intolerance to American shores.

Today, Jewish people say that it's difficult to hail a cab in Manhattan unless they take off their yarmulke’s, and in some cities cab drivers will whiz past women because it’s “beneath” them to serve a female.


Some fundamentalist zealots embrace intolerance and hatred

It’s high time that Americans stopped tolerating intolerant people and started stand up against anybody who openly thrusts their sexism and racism upon the travelling public.

Discrimination in San Fransicso

Just last week I got into a taxi cab in San Francisco with Janet and Noel the dog, only to hear the cab driver get all upset and say the big lie:

“I’m allergic to dogs”.

I know it’s a lie because it’s a well-known issue among Seeing Eye dog users. Intolerant cab drivers are taught to lie and say that they are allergic so that they can ignore the Americans with Disabilities Act, harass blind people, and impose their beliefs upon the public.

Discrimination is discrimination; it’s always based on hatred and intolerance.

Because we work extensively with blind people who use guide dogs, we know how some cultures consider dogs to be “unclean” and how taxi cab drivers openly refuse to pick-up abybody with a Seeing Eye dog.

It’s against the law to do this, but that does not seem to matter. This article has a long list of offenses, and this story is typical:

“New Orleans taxi driver Mahmoud Awad, got so incensed at his passenger trying to bring a dog into the cab that he physically yanked her out of it by the arm while yelling

"No dog, No dog, Get out, get out."

When charged with abuse, he replied by pointing out that "the saliva of dogs invalidates the ritual purity needed for prayer".

But this intolerance problem is not just limited to dogs, taxi cab drivers have been seen openly discriminate against Jews, women and people who drink alcohol.

Treating women like garbage

Awhile back from some telephone caller ordered Janet to put a man on the phone! You can read the details here.

Janet told him politely that he was not worthy of speaking to a man, and it’s a darn good thing that she did not put me on the line, else this creep would have learned some new English cuss words.

America is built upon religious tolerance, but anyone who serves the public cannot thrust their own belief system upon the travelling public.

Do not tolerate intolerance

In Miami, I’ve witnessed people getting off of cruise ships with boxes of alcohol only to find that a cab drivers refuse to take them because they find it offensive.

These intolerant prople show open contempt for Americans, oinsisting that we kowtow to their demands.

Please watch this video, cab drivers who impose their culture upon the travelling public:



Listen to these people and judge for yourself.

It’s beyond offensive that zealots believe that freedom of speech allows them to impose their beliefs upon others.

I’d like to see legislation making it a crime for any taxi cab driver to discriminate against anybody.

Funny automated language translation software

Back in the 1980's the CIA was developing software that translated Russion into English, and English into Russian.

There is the funny story about when they translating the saying “The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak” into Russian and back again into English where it read “The vodka is good but the meat is rotten”.

Well, this happens all the time on Babelfish, and the results can be hilarious!

Check this out, the translation party.
