Oh and don't forget to baste! You would not believe how quick those little boogers will dry out.

Apparently they did come up with a big wheel for adults.
Found on http://hiconsumption.com/2013/07/gree...
At a mere 75 grand? You'd look sharp on that Bad Boy, Rodney! Make sure you're wearing a thick layer of bubble wrap.
Mod
Rodney doesn't get to ride alone. I call shotgun!
Mod
50 MPH is lightening fast for a big wheel would you not agree?
Mod
Actually, lightning travels at nearly one-quarter of a million MPH, and the light from lightning travels at the speed of light, 186,000 miles per second. Either would seem a little excessive for a Big Wheel, although I would agree such speeds will blow your hair back...along with the rest of you. ;)
OK Jay, you got me but it sounds like an awesome ride. Lol

There has to be a snide comment or off-colour joke in the typo there, but I just can't find it this morning.

A "herder" typo + "mess"... There's got to be some BS in there somewhere.

I thought I did.
Herder's mess = BS
Too subtle or too stupid?

"Clever without Coffee" - What a great title!

Those curators seem to have fun with their displays, that's great.
Um, how do they know it was a misspelling?
Not sure if this should be in the Wild Wildlife discussion. But I just found this on the internet and I'm a little lazy sometimes:

Don't worry. We'll still need you to kill spiders and investigate strange noises in the middle of the night.
Only in England do you get this quote, by Professor Robin Lovell-Badge, from the UK's Francis Crick Institute: "...most men just sit there and make millions of the little blighters every hour."
Mod
I mean, really, all the world needs is a few guys, right? And now none?

I guess I shouldn't have said kill because I also try to save the creepy crawlies. I usually hide in another room while my husband tries to catch it and release it outside. If he's not around, I'll keep an eye on it and try to co-exist peacefully. But if some horror movie worthy looking thing is coming at me and won't stop then it's going down. I'll feel bad about it, but the bug should know better. If something a million times the size of you is freaking out and looking like it's going to step on you, that's your cue to back off or suffer the consequences.
Mod
The creepy crawlies do know better. They win no matter what you do.
Check this out:
"In a classic and seminal paper by Turnbull (1973) (all Arachnologists should read that paper!) there are a series of estimates of spider densities in a range of habitats – and these are estimates for all spiders, not just a single family. The lowest estimate he provides is from work in a Polish meadow where densities of 0.64 spiders per square metre were reported. The highest density was 842 spiders per square metre in an English pasture. Turnbull averaged all previous published estimates and ended with a mean of 130.8 spiders per square meter. Turnbull does point that it is kind of a meaningless statistic, except that it helps us tackle the question of interest: Is there always a spider within three feet of you…?
So…. in most “natural” habitats, I think it is true that you are always within three feet of a spider."

I prefer not to know these things. How am I supposed to sleep at night?

To hell with cancer! I suggest that we petition the government and the pharmaceutical companies to spend more millions on finding a cure for gym socks!
There is too much money to be made from people with cancer. There isn't going to be a cure for that in the U.S. anytime soon.

The study found that the average IQ of blondes was actually slightly higher than those with other hair colors, but that finding isn’t statistically significant, said Zagorsky, who works in the university’s Center for Human Resource Research (CHRR).
“I don’t think you can say with certainty that blondes are smarter than others, but you can definitely say they are not any dumber.”

CRAP!! All those perfectly good dumb-blonde jokes are now shot to hell!

This is why I don't read newspapers anymore. They must be cutting back on the comics pages because what passes as front page news is enough to make you laugh everyday. How will the world go on with dwindling gnome sales?

Grrr! That article really angried up my blood! Just about the only thing I agree with is the hatred of windmills (and those annoying Dutch boys and girls that frequently accompany them.) Of course gnomes are creepy; that's the best thing about them.
And everybody knows - these
are the worst garden ornaments EVER!

Come to think of it I've seen many less garden gnomes in recent years.

How the CIA managed to leave explosives on a special-needs school bus - without noticing
...and they didn't even need a committee!

That was really due to a little-known clause in the Iran deal.

Thanks to math, we can calculate the benefits of human sacrifice
---Complex society may depend on occasionally murdering innocent people.
"Human sacrifice, in other words, is a useful tool for elites who want to maintain their power in a stratified society."
____
While this brief, but informative, article cannot possibly list all of the numerous benefits of human sacrifice, there is still a faint hope that we will not turn our back on any practice that truly benefits society as a whole. Therefore, I suggest we compile a list of proposed human sacrifices, beginning with:
-The Koch Brothers
-Justin Bieber
-That toddler on Flight 497 who kicked the back of my seat for five and one-half hours.
-Reality TV executives (Although, executing the brain dead may not be constitutional.)
-Anyone wearing an article of Duck Dynasty clothing.
-Plumbers who charge brain surgery rates to fix a toilet.
-Banking and financial institution executives who were paid a bonus while using taxpayer bailout money (TARP funds, etc.) to cover the fraud, waste and abuse that both screwed the world economy and served as the credo of their Corporate Operations Manual.
-Protestors with signs that prove they failed their GED exam.
-The inventors of Tofurkey and the lentil sandwich.
-Etc. etc. etc.
Please feel free to add to the list. One never knows if or when it might come in handy, and it's up to us to make human sacrifice beneficial once again.
Who says executions can't be fun??
