If blows my mind to think about what they experienced in their lifetimes. When my Dad was born most of the roads were still dirt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 On a clear night, if you stand outside naked, bend over 90 degrees, tilt your head another 45 degrees and look, you can clearly see Uranus. Elephants can't jump. Text messages sent by eagles bankrupted a scientific study: A team from the Russian Raptor Research and Conservation Network thought they had a great idea when they attached SMS text-based tracking devices to 13 steppe eagles. The hope was that the birds would send back valuable information about their behavior. Unfortunately, one bird flew all the way to Iran, "where roaming rates are sky-high," according to Smithsonian. To get an idea of the kind of money involved, the eagle sent hundreds of text messages at once, and each one cost about 77 cents. Scientist Elena Shnayder told The New York Times, "He disappeared for five months, and all of a sudden here he is, with a very, very heavy phone bill." The bill was so costly that it ended up bankrupting the study. Minnesota has more shoreline than California, Florida, and Hawaii combined. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Penevil Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) There's no historical evidence that a "showdown" gun fight as portrayed in the intro to the classic Western series Gunsmoke ever took place in reality. The quick-draw "showdown" (or walkdown) was a creation of the dime novels of the late 1880s that was picked up by the early cinema industry. It became a standard scene in all types of Western films and TV series. Edited April 23, 2022 by Evil Penevil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd have a problem of knowing who is the "goodie" and who is the "baddy" though. For you, the baddy would be Gabor, but who would be the goody? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’d be out of town like a flash. Do you recall the “advert’ he appeared in, or maybe it was a short video on pattaya mail extolling the virtues of the Crazy Daves cheap breakfast years ago?. Anyway, to avoid thread drift: Australia’s diameter is wider than the moon. By 600km. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passed it many times by bus on the way via Tanauan and Lipa to Sabang Beach, Puerta Galera.

Just checked Captain Greggs FB page and see they've rebuilt and are now open again after the fire last year. Good news as reports just after the fire questioned if they would open again. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that Chuck can get the business going as it is the first place I had a drink after arriving in Sabang back in 1988. The views from there are amazing and having the famous Gin Juice in a jar is an experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
