In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.
What the? Murder???

These were supposedly taken in Grayling Michigan which, incidentally, is the location of a park that claims the last stand of old growth trees in the lower Penninsula (Michigan was mowed flat around the turn of the century for lumber to build the Western expansion - sad story, really). In years past I've posted pics from that park, maybe I'll dig them up....

I don't have a problem with authority....I just don't like being told what to do!Remember, the toes you step on today may be attached to the ass you have to kiss tomorrow!RIP Fluffy! 01-07-09 I'm so sorry Fluffster! People who don't like cats were probably mice in an earlier life! My mind not only wanders, sometimes it leaves completely!The nice part about living in a small town: When you don't know what you're doing, someone else always does!

An amazing image of an ant lifting 100 times its body weight has won first prize in a science photography contest.
The image shows an Asian weaver ant hanging upside down on a glass-like surface and holding a 500mg (0.02oz) weight in its jaws.
It was taken by zoology specialist Dr Thomas Endlein of Cambridge University as he researched insects' sticky feet.
Dr Endlein won £700 in photographic vouchers from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council.
The research shows how ants change the size and shape of the pads on their feet to enable them to carry heavier loads.
He hopes it could help scientists develop better glues.
"The pads on ants' feet are self-cleaning and can stick to almost any type of surface," he said.
"No man-made glue or adhesive system can match this. Understanding how animals can control their adhesive systems should help us come up with clever adhesives in the future."
Charlie Brooker explains how to report the news:
The light that once I thought compassion still casting shadows in your action
The words you shared were cold transactions that bring me to curse what you've done
When you're up there absorbed in greatness with such success you've grown complacent
I hope you scorch your many faces when you fly too close to the sun

If hindsight is 20-20, why is it so often ignored?
Yeah, those hands are kinda freaky looking.

We're stuck in a bloody snowglobe.
I bet everyone has already seen this, but it still blows my mind.
I enjoy blank walls.
Yeah, me too. The South Park episode where it was declared that playing "real guitar" is "Gay" was a little too close to the truth for a lot of kids that mistake the skill of hitting buttons in time with a sequence appearing on a screen as some kind of musical talent.
Nothing could be further from the truth.All that potential band/instrument practice being wasted on a game!
