"Shootn' stah, look at you. Shootn' stah, you're a beautiful ball of light. Shootn' stah, get out'a da way... I can't see nuffin. Yur all in my parifarinz. Yur in my parifarinz visual. Ah, I cannot... how can I concentrate?"
Some really awesome pictures where it's really hard to tell if the image is microscopic or really really big.
I got them all right, but I've got an unfair advantage because I've been looking at a lot of similar stuff lately, on account of Earth Science is lots of micro and macro. (Also some really lucky guesses.) It's fun to see how weirdly similar images of small things and large things are. (Don't be fooled by the last weirdly colored ones.)
The only one I might have gotten wrong was the very first but I saw the caption before I'd decided. Turns out that Dragonfly wings look almost just like those funny ponds in the South San Francisco Bay.
My mom tried to get on a plane with a huge honking set of garden shears in her carry on. She'd borrowed the luggage from her sister (why her sister had them in her bag, who could possibly guess) but my mom never noticed them when she was packing.
The TSA folks laughed at her and took them away.
I don't suppose they were laughing at Bill Russell, but I bet he just forgot it was there and didn't notice the lump.
The history button on YouTube is fantastic. I went back pages and pages and pages, probably 500 videosOKAYFINEprobably one hundred videos to find when I viewed this just a few days ago. But some of them don't count because I left immediately to find one without an advertisement stuck on the front of it.

Lem, I bet he forgot he had it in his bag.

I was amusing myself last night by howling at the moon.
Seems I still have some growing up to do.
