Scrap 3: Cuttle-fish

Our next installment from the Memorial Library scrap pile. 

The quote at the bottom reads:

"I could see nothing but a pair of very bright eyes; but concluding that the eyes had an owner, I determined very rashly to secure him. ...I put my hand down very quietly so as not to ruffle the water, when, suddenly, to my surprise, it was seized with a pressure far too ardent to be agreeable, and I was held fast." From "A Chapter on Cuttle-Fishes" by Lucie L. Hartt (American Naturalist, 1869, 3:257-261).

Far too ardent to be agreeable indeed. 

Rabbi Parking Only

Saw this at cemetery in Hollywood, Florida:

'nuf said.

dogwater

Saw this great dish of 'water for dogs' the other day:

I loved it. Now I realize it is because of this:

Friedensreich Regentag Dunkelbunt Hundertwasser. 

Translates as 

Friedensreich Regentag Dunkelbunt Dogwater.

Pipers

seenandheard these pipers a few weeks ago. I was on the bus coming back from the library and hopped off when we stopped in front of  an Irish bar with a slew of them outside. I got off the buss while saying to the guy in front of me: "When you see a group of pipers, that's when you get off the bus." He wasn't amused.

Bus behind pipers, capitol behind bus. Behind capitol...oblivion. 

Christians

Heard this just now:

Damatis Personae:

Christian 1: A Christian, friend of Christian 2.

Christian 2: A Christian, friend of Christian 1.

Christian 1: ...If people don't understand the gospel how are they supposed to understand anything else?

Christian 2: ...I'm going to clear out my bible in a few days--it is going to feel really good.

[Timelapse]

Christian 2: When I first met April I thought I could never be friends with her cause her goal in life is to be a stay at home mom and my goal is to be...well, NOT that. But, we've both changed.

scrap 2: Trivia

This is the worst trivia question in the world.

scrap 1: Berlin Situations

This is the first installment of what will be an ongoing series known as 'scrap'
Every day I will dig through the scrap-paper pile near the library printer and post the most interesting items. If nothing is interesting then I will post the least uninteresting.
Here is what I found today:

My favorite parts are:
1."Why do you like what you do?"
2. "Timelapse" 
3. "You buy a Kebab (Of course!)"

Two Drunkards

Today I heard this conversation between two drunkards.

Dramatis Personae:

Drunkard 1: A Drunkard, friend of Drunkard 2.

Drunkard 2: A Drunkard, friend of Drunkard 1.

Drunkard 1: Suppose this, you take two dogs and put them on a boat and send them from the east coast to the west coast. Then you take some other dogs and put one on a plane, one on a train, one in a car and send them too. 

Drunkard 2: Okay, yeah.

Drunkard 1: Then in four months, you investigate the animals, check them out and see which ones are doing better. Which one do you think would be in better shape?

Drunkard 2: The one that was going home.

Drunkard 1: No. The one that went over water.
