Chit Chat and All That...

Just wanted to share some things.

 

Ok, which one of you is it that's posting the funny stuff on Frequency Therapeutics' Twitter?

 

Came across this while walking in the woods. Very well constructed.

 

Novak wins the Australian Open. Somewhat makes up for the embarrassing debacle of last year. Yet, there are still some people who thought he should have never been allowed into the country to play.

 

So is this what people call a sweet death?

Death by Chocolate... Actually, there is a song called like that, although the rhythm does not seem to suit well the Willy Wonka factory...

De Phazz - Death by Chocolate

 

I've heard a similar story of how two workers drowned after falling into a vat of whiskey. They had to clamber out twice to go to the toilet to relieve themselves during the sad incident.

 

@ZFire

 

@Nick47, what do you lecture / graduate in? I am a chemical engineer considering going to get my Master's in biomedical engineering.

Walking round this incredible site reminded me that in the old days, engineers defined problems, before going on to solve them. Any guesses what and where this 'thing' is?

 

That's the classic stratosphere chamber that they used to investigate flying fast at high altitude.

 

You've just put a big smile on my face.

911 Call Reveals Moments After Gator Attacks...

I just saw this. I feel bad for the woman who tried to help. She’s gotta be traumatized.

 

What I'm trying to understand is why she would walk so close to the edge of pond that is probably brimming with alligators? So sad that she went that way when she really didn't have to.

 

@Damocles, I live in Louisiana and a few years back after hurricane Ida, an alligator ate an older man. Everything was flooded and he walked through the water to get something out of his shed, well, a gator was in there and attacked him. His wife saw the whole thing happen. Somehow they managed to get him back on the stairs of their porch. The wife then took a boat to try and find help but when she returned, he was no longer there. The gator went up on the stairs, grabbed him and dragged him back into the waters to eat him. They later captured the gator and found his remains in it.

 

Imagine waking up ready to cook breakfast and you walk into your kitchen and see this...

Florida woman comes face-to-face with...

 

I loved Crawl.

This reminds me of the you open door, you see this memes.

Except in those the this was rarely an alligator...

 

Here's another crazy encounter in Florida I remember. Can you name any other place where you can find an alligator in your kitchen and then go outside and find a crackhead singing amazing grace in the sewers?

Homemade breakfast sausage soup and true southern cornbread. Thems dang good vittles.

 

When your car service is scheduled for 10:30 in the morning and when you arrive, they tell you we are 2 mechanics short so your car should be done late afternoon and you find yourself staring at things in a hardware shop.

 

That looks absolutely delicious! I used to have a neighbour from Illinois and he'd make cornbread like that, yummmmm, I can smell yours through the screen

 

It's a very simple old old recipe handed down to my mum. I have it now. The paper it was written on has yellowed with butter stains and flour drippings. But it's readable.

 

Your cat is so pretty I love it when they decide they want to sit on your chest. Mine likes to do it when I am trying to use my laptop.

 

Old mum or gran recipes are the always best kind of recipes!

If you're willing to share it, I'd love to give it a try...
