Sunday roundup of stuff

Man pepper sprays dogs. He should be pepper spraying the gd owners. And, not to put too fine a point on it, but Lighthouse Park is an offleash zone and Jeff and I saw and smelled MUCH doggydo.

Shoot, any teenager can do this when you ask for the chores to get done. Frog can tune its hearing to specific frequencies.

You can simply NEVER have enough Evil Dead.

A collection of improbably unphotoshopped pictures.

Try the BBC Sensory Challenge. I got 14 out of 20, I’m sure you can do better than that.

Jupiter is one cool looking planet.

Why can’t somebody do one for Canadian politics?

A list of reference sites on the internet. May I point nautilus3 at the Dictionary of Popular Cultural References? Also the Illustrated Dictionary of Jewels is molto cool.

Great pictures of cool light phenomena. ABSOLUTE best pic of a ‘hula dancer’ I’ve ever seen. I have seen this phenomenon only since I moved to BC, and the best one I ever saw was in Courtenay – it happened in the fall and lasted a good half hour. The hula dancer is referred to as a circumhorizontal arc in the list of pictures, which is technically what it’s called, but sailors and fishermen of the coast call them ‘hula dancers’.

Everybody should have a prof like this, and that’s no lie.

Hope everybody has a loverly Sunday.

  1. GREAT Sunday collection!

    My score on the sensory challenge was 10 out of 20. Sigh.

    Concur on Jupiter, and on the need for a similar analysis for Canadian politics.

    And thanks for the Popular Cultural References. Maybe this means I don’t have to say WTF so often in relation to your blog entries.

    The light phenomena…wow.

    Likewise the unphotoshopped pictures…

    Nice break, these, from the agonies of having to use the downstairs printer for the ancestry trees for my upcoming travels. My regular printer is in the shop, having died, one assumes, of exhaustion.

  2. I can just hear its little electrons bleating GOD NO NOT ANOTHER family PICTURE! AAARRRGGGHHHH!

    Yes, I thought the PopCultRef would be useful.
