Re: The Weird, the Wacky and the Wonderful Reply #402 – 2015-06-25, 09:12:43 Sometimes it's football, sometimes it's more.QuoteUruguay coach Oscar Tabarez leapt to the defence of Edinson Cavani on Wednesday as footage appeared to show a Chilean player attempting to provoke the star by inserting a finger into his anus.Cavani was sent off midway through the second half after receiving a second yellow card for flicking a hand into the face of Chile defender Gonzalo Jara.For more, go here....http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/uruguay/11697775/Uruguay-star-Edinson-Cavani-sent-off-for-slapping-Chile-defender-who-inserted-finger-into-his-anus.html
Re: The Weird, the Wacky and the Wonderful Reply #403 – 2015-06-25, 15:04:17 Each Friday night after work, Bubba would fire up his outdoor grill and cook venison steak. But all of Bubba's neighbors were Catholic, and since it was Lent, they were forbidden from eating red meat on Friday.The delicious aroma from the grilled venison steaks was causing such a problem for the Catholic faithful that they finally talked to their priest.The priest came to visit Bubba and suggested that he become a Catholic.After several classes and much study, Bubba attended Mass. The priest sprinkled holy water over him and said, "You were born a Baptist and raised as a Baptist, but now you are Catholic."Bubba's neighbors were greatly relieved, until Friday night arrived and the wonderful aroma of grilled venison filled the neighborhood. The priest was called immediately by the neighbors.As the priest rushed into Bubba's yard, clutching a rosary and prepared to scold him, he stopped and watched in amazement.There stood Bubba, clutching a small bottle of holy water, which he carefully sprinkled over the grilling meat while chanting, "You wuz born a deer, you wuz raised a deer, but now you are a catfish."

Re: The Weird, the Wacky and the Wonderful Reply #410 – 2015-06-27, 16:53:20 If something that big hits the Earth, it's really not going to matter much where it hits. That's a mass extinction event you're looking at.
Re: The Weird, the Wacky and the Wonderful Reply #411 – 2015-06-27, 18:16:05 Indeed that is a much larger chunk of debris than necessarily for an ELE (extinction level event). The dinosaur killer was about 10 kms. wide (roughly the size of Mt. Everest), but we have been hit by worse apparently.

Re: The Weird, the Wacky and the Wonderful Reply #413 – 2015-06-28, 09:04:58 According to the Daily Mail, security expert Edward Lucas from the US-based Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA) made a sensational geographical discovery.

The Russian ship is named the Mordova.

So, let's say they didn't get the caption right. (Even I, the master of Earth's geography, falter at times when it comes to Russian geography.) Let's also say the picture is a recycled item from a totally different context. Does this mean the rehearsals with the stated scenario did not happen?
