I learned there are thousands and thousands of people who have an overwhelming desire to post pictures of themselves nude on social media sites.

TIl:"there are none so blind as those who will not see." was originally written, in 1546, by J. Heywood but thusly: "Who is so deafe, or so blynde, as is hee, That wilfully will nother here nor see." - that is, according to Wiktionary. Made sense then as it does now :)

Today I learned there are aliens that are like talking raptors and they like earth foods, especially ice cream, even though it makes them sick. Never knew that before.

I went down a YouTube rabbit hole and somehow ended up with a UFO conference video from a lady named Jo Ann Richards, who I truly believe may have one of the funniest/craziest stories ever. I didn't watch this one but it's what popped up when I did a search again (was on autoplay, so I haven't found the original video [must've had a title without her name]):



Enjoy!

Today, if I were a bell, I wouldn't wish, in a million years, to be a Belle Gibson: a morality tale for our times? Someone might be paying attention ;) And, my heart still aches for all the good people, like Jelena Dokic, who, under our very noses, are still falling prey to those brassy, brutish, bloviators who haunt our treasured heartlands. We should have done more for Jelena Dokic. And the rest.

Peace. That's an order * :)



* order - the state of peace, freedom from confused or unruly behavior, and respect for law or proper authority

Today, I learned about the Stanmobile:
What Was Stan Thinking? The Stanmobile

Well, I left Kentucky back in forty nine
An' went to Detroit workin' on a 'sembly line
The first year they had me puttin' wheels on Cadillacs
Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by
And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry
'Cause I always wanted me one that was long and black.
One day I devised myself a plan
That should be the envy of most any man
I'd sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand
Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired
But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired
I'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand.
I'd get it one piece at a time
And it wouldn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is around.
So the very next day when I punched in
With my big lunchbox and with help from my friends
I left that day with a lunch box full of gears
I've never considered myself a thief
But GM wouldn't miss just one little piece
Especially if I strung it out over several years.
The first day I got me a fuel pump
And the next day I got me an engine and a trunk
Then I got me a transmission and all the chrome
The little things I could get in my big lunchbox
Like nuts, an' bolts, and all four shocks
But the big stuff we snuck out in my buddy's mobile home.
Now, up to now my plan went all right
'Til we tried to put it all together one night
And that's when we noticed that something was definitely wrong.
The transmission was a fifty three
And the motor turned out to be a seventy three
And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone.
So we drilled it out so that it would fit
And with a little bit of help with an adapter kit
We had that engine runnin' just like a song
Now the headlight' was another sight
We had two on the left and one on the right
But when we pulled out the switch all three of 'em come on.
The back end looked kinda funny too
But we put it together and when we got through
Well, that's when we noticed that we only had one tail-fin
About that time my wife walked out
And I could see in her eyes that she had her doubts
But she opened the door and said "Honey, take me for a spin."
So we drove up town just to get the tags
And I headed her right on down main drag
I could hear everybody laughin' for blocks around
But up there at the court house they didn't laugh
'Cause to type it up it took the whole staff
And when they got through the title weighed sixty pounds.
I got it one piece at a time
And it wouldn't cost me a dime
You'll know it's me when I come through your town
I'm gonna ride around in style
I'm gonna drive everybody wild
'Cause I'll have the only one there is around.
Ugh! Yeah, RED RYDER
This is the COTTON MOUTH
In the PSYCHO-BILLY CADILLAC Come on
Huh, This is the COTTON MOUTH
And negatory on the cost of this mow-chine there RED RYDER
You might say I went right up to the factory
And picked it up, it's cheaper that way
Ugh!, what model is it?
Well, It's a '49, '50, '51, '52, '53, '54, '55, '56
'57, '58' 59' automobile
It's a '60, '61, '62, '63, '64, '65, '66, '67
'68, '69, '70 automobile.

Gut feeling: more microbiome-truths - the Invalid Link Removed. On the strength of this alone, we should definitely stop rubbing salt into the wound. 'Tis the season NOT to salt :ninja:

New research from Germany indicates that high levels of salt consumption reduces the amount of a healthy bacteria in the gut called lactobacillus.

Australian researchers say a much more robust and widespread trial should be carried out, to see if the research could lead to new ways to treat and prevent cardio vascular disease like hypertension.

But experts say maintaining a healthy diet and exercise is also crucially important to preventing such diseases.
