the what

EACH ADDITION TO THIS POST MAKES MY BLOOD RUN COLD

This is a cranberry bog (unflooded) it’s how cranberries grow. Once they’re ripe, the blog is flooded and the cranberries harvested.

Basically by using big floaty things to round them all up and then scooping them out of the water.

thank u. i hate it a little less but the horrible little man in my head is still screaming “BOG BODY BOG BODY BOG BODY”, but i appreciate the education,

Mythbusters ended too soon. I feel like The Cask Of Amontillado is exactly the myth they would have tested.

Like, figuring out how long it takes the mortar to dry. Finding the maximum amount of time before knocking down a recently built brick wall. Establishing the best place on a recently bricked wall to topple it and escape.

And then, doing all of that while drunk.

Mythbusters, you left us too soon.

actually, they made that episode – I have a copy of it in my basement, wanna see?

Would I?!

Curse of the Velvet Elvis

I work for an IT managed services company in the southeast and this story originates before my time there but still still lives on to this day. Back in the early 2000′s, the company was founded and they purchased a building with a pre-existing data center layout that we rebuilt. One of the things left behind by the previous tenant was an oil on velvet painting of the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley. 

The painting was just hanging there. In the picture above, it’s been hanging in that spot for as long as I can remember (I started there around 2008 after the company bought the company I was employed with at the time). 

This thing gives off a feeling that even skeptical admit to feeling. We know nothing of who brought it here or where it came from. The only thing we know is that he CANNOT leave the building. He doesn’t like to be moved. Bad things happen when he’s moved. 

If he’s moved a little bit, like taking him down for a customer tour, small things happen. Maybe a customer SAN dies or a small outage occurs.

He’s only been removed from the building twice. Both times resulted in something big happening. The first time resulted in the loss of two data center grade UPS units. These things are big and had a room dedicated to them. The second time resulted in a major outage with our connection to our fiber provider’s backbone network.

He’s still hanging to this day and we have previous employees ask if he’s still around.

A scientist in England has made an enlightening discovery about Atlantic puffins — under a UV light, their bills glow like a freshly cracked glow stick.
“It was sort of discovered by accident,” said Jamie Dunning, the ornithologist who first saw the beaks light up.

I can’t tell what is my favorite part of this article, birds see colors humans can’t comprehend, glowing puffin beaks was discover accidentally, or that puffins look really good with aviator glasses.

My favorite is definitely the quote: So he’s had sunglasses made. For the puffins. “This felt like the obvious thing to do,” he said.

also ‘"We’ve actually had some printed in the shape of aviators, just for the fun of it,“ he said.‘

he knows exactly how hilariously adorable and ridiculous it is to put sunglasses on the puffins and they are just gonna roll with it

delightful

(presumably it is to protect lil puffin eyes from taking damage from a big beakless weirdo shining uv lights at the front of their face)

Scientists are perfectly delightful sometimes
