  1. So you're not quite there on the wisdom front then...
  2. Do you reckon there's a couple of eggs in that sack?
  3. It's not political, it's scientific. The results are in. It's proven. The only people who don't agree that anthropomorphic climate change is both real and a very urgent problem to be solved, are either those who on ideological/religious grounds will not accept the possibility no matter how much evidence is presented, and those who are in or benefit financially from industries which add to the problem - who either don't believe the science or, worse, know it's real but choose short term profits over the future of humanity. How it SEEMS political is that certain politicians, usually from the conservative side (conservative = "we don't want anything to change" - so it's hard for them to accept the NEED for major change) - are at best just representing the views of their constituents who work in coal/oil/gas and associated industries, or else cynically supporting those industries for personal gain of money or power instead of looking after the interests of the public. Some will even try to float unworkable and extremely costly "alternatives" like large nuclear plants instead of just following the science and making use of our huge natural resources for solar, wind, pumped hydro and battery because it either doesn't fit with their worldview or because they just want a political point of difference from their enemies across the aisle.
  4. Good joke! Between the two of them they'd have less knowledge or interest in actual science (or sense, common or otherwise) than Donald Trump has in telling the truth.
  5. Don Johnson?
  6. I hazard a guess that high ranking Russians aren't allowed facial expressions.

    I thought there was a silent H in it... Prisoner Of Her/His Majesty
  8. I think photoshop and camera angle have a lot to do with some of these.
  9. If you joined a new religion which only had 79 other adherents, you might be an eightieth.

    Even the little pig only went "wee, wee, wee" all the way home!
  11. My mother (about to turn 91) has the dubious honour of being the most medicated person in her old folk's home. 24 different pills every day, I think. Some of them for years.

    Old bloke to his mate: "My bowels are regular as clockwork. Every morning, 6am on the dot! ...Trouble is... I don't wake up til 7..."
  13. Only if they describe you to the police and your writing was with a spraycan...
  14. Morgan Freeman, Bill Murray? and Jack Nicholson?
  15. Judging by his words and actions to date, I don't think he much cares if anyone's looking.
  16. Have a look at the 2 videos I posted in the drone thread. I watched the first one utterly amazed at the robot. Only to find how they made it in the second. If there's a choice between something seemingly impossible caught on camera, and someone doing some clever editing, you can put money on it being the second.
  17. Ukrainian innovation will change the face of warfare. What's the point of massively expensive crewed ships when a speedboat sized suicide drone can take it out?
  18. I don't see the mining companies digging up Westminster Abbey.

    Wasn't Fellatio a famous seaman?
  20. I heard it was the new lieutenant who asked quietly what they did for sex. The sarge said "Well, there's a camel..." and the lieutenant raced off to get a step ladder. After he was done the sarge finished his sentence "...which the lads ride in to the nearest town to visit the brothel!"

    Brain Teaser

    Oh, I thought it had to be a direct substitution. I thought V="H" and C="A", "E" or "O", because they were having a laugh.
  22. I think Ivanka would be most disturbed by how chubby they made her.
  23. Just related to the above, another video that popped up was this one about soldier robots. Scary. Make sure you watch them in order... 1. https://youtu.be/y3RIHnK0_NE 2. https://youtu.be/zIdqiwHsuI8
  24. You can probably switch it to a male voice and call her Alex, if it makes you feel better.
