Ummm… if we’re assuming a Spherical cow, then why is the picture showing a Circular cow?

Or bra tape.

Mammal noses were once ‘egg teeth’, but for some reason mammal eggs lost their hard shells, and the noses (scientific name: ‘schnozzolae’) were re-purposed for the olfactory sense.

Expose them to a few seconds of audio from a right-wing podcast: if they roll away from the speakers, they’re viable, if they stay still they’re non-viable, and if they roll Towards the speaker, they’re Triffid seeds, and should be killed with fire.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. -Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8.

Oh, it’s Nutria. Those beaver-lookin’ rodents have been a pest here in the East since the late 19th C. Some ding-dong thought to raise them for fur, the market for it never really appeared, and a lot of the buggers escaped or were let go by bankrupt nutriaherders. Someone else tried apparently to start a fur trade out West, and…

Our Sun is a second- or third-generation star. All of the rocky and metallic material we stand on, the iron in our blood, the calcium in our teeth, the carbon in our genes were produced billions of years ago in the interior of a red giant star. We are made of star-stuff. - Carl Sagan

That shouldn’t work, because then Mercury would have a longer commute from Mercury to the oracle from which he communicates the rise in mercury. I want to shorten Mercury’s commute from Mercury; then Mercury won’t be so hot and sweaty when he raises the mercury, and the temperature won’t go as high.

Instead of erasing that twit’s name from everything, why don’t we just tuck all the reminders of him into a set of warehouses down some little used side-street. We could call it ‘Damnation Alley’…

Heya folks! Me again - to give a little more context, the account in question was temporarily restricted due to a routine security step that requires the account holder to reset their password (this can happen if it’s been a while since a user last logged on, among other reasons). Because of a bug, the account was incorrectly shown as “banned” (even though it wasn’t). We’re working on fixing this bug so these issues don’t happen in the future. Just to be really clear again, the mods here had nothing to do with this and never banned Sir Paul.

Thank you, FDT, for making me aware that macca had a reddit account. I won’t be following it, but it’s intersting to know that it exists.

Less, because with time travel possible, the astronaut with a gun is always behind you…

All Of Them! Ahahahahahahahahaaaaa…

Yeah, I’m thinking they’ve done an ‘upgrade’ to the modbots, and they’ve gone alittle HAL9000. I’ve gone 3 years without a ‘hate speech’ ding - then got two in two consecutive days, from different subs. I think I’ve figured out one of them, but the other…

Another hat for Marco, or will he hand off Secretary of State, National Security Advisor (acting) and Administrator of USAID (also acting) to someone else, whilst he plays satrap in Cuba?

If only we could cozzen the oligarchs into thinking that potatoes are a better source of power for the A.I. data centers, we could avoid a ‘Matrix’ style dystopia.
