EXACTLY! Hence the "fun comment", where in what I wrongly assumed was an obvious attempt at ironic humour, I feigned ignorance of a factoid I, and every other 8 year old, knew over 60 years ago and have repeatedly heard a million times since, and now, a million and one times, lol. Oh, I'm also aware that snowflakes are more cold, than cool. Stay vigilant, lol.

Doesn't look like any snowflake I've ever seen before, but it's still pretty cool. Lol

The source code is easily found online and would not work, as is, on today's internet. It's certainly interesting, but about as dangerous as a picture of a raptor or a mammoth hide.

She should have got some guys to do the catcalling, to more accurately simulate the experience of unwanted sexual advances. Having women do it just plays right into every guy's, "Dear Penthouse, I couldn't believe my luck..." fantasies.

Canadian who started his aviation career working with British contractors. They learnt their trade under an apprenticeship system. One of their initiation rights was to send a newbie to the toolcrib to fetch a "long stand with a clip at the end". After being kept waiting forever, the newbie would finally ask what the delay was and the attendant would wave him close and tell him, "Well, you've had your long stand, now here's your clip!", as he leaned forward and boxed his ear.
EDIT: repeated the story, exactly as related to me by the contractors, but until now, after looking it up, never realized how actually violent boxing someone's ears could be. Then again, they used to punish kids that way, lol.

74 yr old man shot by 120 lb Rottweiler mix who accidentally triggered the shotgun propped up between the front seats of pickup, pointing at man. 3 broken ribs, punctured lung and broken collarbone. He got lucky. Who the f**k positions a loaded weapon, with the business end pointed at them? That's going to be an expensive gun safety lesson.

Here you go. The name has been changed to "When The Cat Comes", but I checked, the exact scene depicted in the OP's post is there, as well as the main premise of the cat's magic eyes. Search on YT.

I looked up Tesco's employee, I mean colleague(cheap psychological ploy), benefits, and an unqualified, Life Assurance policy, paying out 5 times one's yearly salary, is on their list of benefits.

While it definitely COULD be limited to death occuring in the actual course of one's job related duties, "Poor bugger fell into the vegetable chiller while restocking the lettuce. HE NEVER STOOD A CHANCE!!!" <dumb comedy break over-lol>, I was relating it to my last 2 aviation industry jobs(1978-2010), both unionized and which both, automatically, gave employees a, die anywhere-anyhow, GROUP life insurance policy, as a very low-cost, cosmetic "bENeFit" that was always dragged out during negotiations to show why our wage demands were SO unreasonable. Trust me when I say that statistically, very few people of working age are "lucky enough", lol, to collect on them(that's why life insurance rates rise dramatically as you head towards my age) and these "benevolent" companies would immediately stop the practice if the costs outweighed THEIR benefit. BUT, I'm not saying you're wrong, just WAY over-explaining my reasoning...because old people like to talk, lol. Cheers

I would never tell someone that my death equals a 6 figure payday for them. Put a buddy's name down, if you've got no one else, good idea, but let it be surprise, lest down the road, you may be getting a surprise, first.

John's done a lot of good for military vets and 9-11 First Responders since leaving the show, and though I think Trevor's done kinda OK trying to fill those big shoes, I really wish he'd stayed on for an extra 4 years or so.

28/193 or 14.507772% of the world's national flags are Red, White and Blue. Coincidently, that's the exact same percentage as there are RBW, WRB, WBR, BRW and BWR national flags. That's a lot. :)

My polydactyl, Tony, has several works in progress, none yet ready for public viewing. The side of the bookcase is the furthest along. His use of negative space is sublime.

There's still places that look like that, and much worse, today! I remember an Amazing Race, set in India, that highlighted their overhead rat's nests. Google "Absurd Electric Wiring in India & Asia" and prepare to hear your jaw hit the floor, lol.

Background:
Four Canadian wolves were recently transported by helicopter from Ontario to Michigan’s Isle Royale National Park. The wolves were relocated to help deal with the moose population on the island, and to restore the dwindling number of wolves that currently live on the island.
In the past, ice bridges have connected Isle Royale to the mainland, allowing wolves to migrate. Over the last twenty years, however, these ice bridges have become inconsistent, stranding wolves on the island and preventing any newcomers. The four new wolves will join two that were relocated to the island in 2018. Over the next five years the National Park Service hopes to introduce 20 to 30 wolves to the park.
