Unless you need a laugh that is.

Bears.
They’re just like us.
.
.
I’m not a gamer, and I’m absolutely not a zombie fan but I stumbled on this HBO series and am enjoying it despite myself. The fact that it could actually happen? Makes me wish I’d turned the channel.
😳
.
.
I’ve been saying this for years.
.
.
Which will kill us first? Fungus or AI?
The race is on.
.
.
Cute. But if the batfish ate the fungus? I might be a little more excited.
😉
.

Continuing in the ‘just because you can doesn’t mean you should’ vein….
.
.
For the love of all that’s holy, no.

In an experiment, Vlasman created OSCAR, a
living, organic being formed from his own cells,
albeit one that functions with the help of tech-
nology. And if having a pocket-sized human
system crafted from organic material wasn’t in-
teresting enough, OSCAR is fully modular.
here’s where you can start thinking LEGO-like
worlds – with each part interchangeable to create unique arrangements.
In the video, recently unearthed by News-
break’s Andrei Tapalaga, Vlasman shows off
how his brain module, which is a fully electric
device, connects to his lung module. The two
immediately start interacting together. He adds
in a kidney module, and then attaches two dif-
ferent limb modules that “start actuating the or-
ganism to move.” As the organic matter starts
sliding across the table, it makes you start to
worry what OSCAR is up to.
.
When I read that, I thought… it can’t get any worse.
Then I saw the video and realized yes, it can.
And did.
.
.
If that doesn’t give you the heebie jeebies nothing will.
😳
.
.
Because these days it’s everywhere.
.
.
I can’t honestly say I’ve ever thought about repurposing my poop.. but clearly I’m missing out on some opportunities .
.
.
This is… pardon the pun… a little hard to swallow.
.
.
No worries, I’m not going to run out and buy this book and share excerpts. Even I have limits.
.
.
Poop fuel. The ultimate in recycling. And with the cost of heating oil today? Not a bad idea.
.
.
Brilliant. The name and the idea. And if you smear the walls of your house with urine and feces? I can almost guarantee it’s going to deflect the Mormons and those pesky political survey takers who are always knocking on your door.

With thanks to Martin who knows about my life long aversion to kale.
.
.
This does not surprise me, not one little bit.
.
.
Heck, I cry if forced to eat kale, why shouldn’t they?
.
.
Clearly my mother never ate that noxious weed while pregnant.
.
.
Though she did have a fondness for alcohol, which explains a lot.
.
.
Bill Nye has nothing on me.
.
.
Sure, a space wall to block the sun. It worked well for Hadrian.
.
.
Now there’s a story to keep you up at night.
.
.
Trump. Global plague. High heel Crocs. An alternate timeline makes perfect sense!
.
.
Bionic robo-fish. Wonder what kind of bait you need to catch those?
.
.
Terminator.
I, Robot.
Ex Machina.
Have these technies learned nothing from Hollywood!
.
.
My state has a vaccination rate of 80% for eligible citizens for which I am quite grateful.
I do however, relate to good ole Mona a little more than I did in the past.
.
.
Global plagues are Hell on the waistline.
.
.
And it won’t be that far from the truth.
.
.
Amen to that.
.
.
And can we really blame them?
.
.
Because it looks like we’re going to need these again.
.
.
It’s true. I’m starting to feel like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon.
.
.
Agree or disagree, it’s still funny.
.
.
Yes! That’s it exactly….
.
.
I fill those darned things three times a day, stop complaining.
.
.
No political comments necessary.
.
.
Because we all need a little chortle now and then.
.
.
I hear ya sister.
.
.
This is a brilliant idea.
I shall be cc’ing the CDC immediately.
.
.
That’s pretty much been our last 10 months. You?
.
.
Rode hard and put away wet.
Yup.
.
.
This is almost too true to be funny.
.
.
Wish that happened when I tried it.
Though I do firmly believe in sanitizing from the inside out when it comes to tequila….
.
.
You’ll be sorry you missed this one.
.
.
So bad it was good.
.
.
Mad scientists at work.
.
.
They were attempting to shrink some shrews, but something went wrong.
.
.
Terribly wrong.
.
.
Which is why this fellow bellied up to the bar.
.
.
The shrew’s poisonous saliva killed this guy.
.
.
So our hero shot it.
.
.
But look!
.
.
Another one is chewing through the wall.
.
.
Yeah, sure. The couch will stop it.
.
.
That fellow is now behind the bar and I don’t blame him. Drink up boyo, they’re coming.
.
.
An escape plan is hatched with welded together oil drums.
.
.
Our heroine looks out but doesn’t like what she sees.
.
.
( The giant shrews? Skinny dogs with glued on tails and bizarre fur.)
Low budget cinema at it’s best.
.
.
Only the hero, heroine and mad doctor manage to duck walk the drums to the water’s edge.
.
.
Where they swim for the boat…
.
.
And prattle on about over population of a species that had absolutely nothing to do with the plot.
The shrews?
They’re left behind on the island to eat each other until none are left.
There’s a moral there somewhere….
.
Through with our outdoor touring of the site….
We found the museum.
An odd looking building we were assured was totally green.
Although it looked pretty brown to me.
Although I called it a museum?
They call it an Archaearium.
Technically that means an archeological excavation covered by a glass building.
Which it was.
Because the remains of the first government building was literally under your feet.
The exhibits were well done and history rich.
And it shouldn’t surprise you that we spent a good couple of hours here.
They’ve apparently taken a good deal of flack over the display of actual remains.
But to be honest, it was fascinating.
Granted if JR was my 10th great grandfather I might feel differently….
I mean, it doesn’t look like he died peacefully.
But then again, this poor fellow had to be in dire need of some Excedrin as well.
Early surgical instruments?
Or the Marquis De Sade’s toy chest?
Tough call.
I’m guessing this poor soul didn’t get any Novocain either.
Of course back in the day…. this pointy little piece of metal?
Yeah.
Not your average Q Tip.
Way.
And if you remember my post from yesterday about the hardships the settlers endured?
This 14 year old girl was eaten.
It doesn’t get much harder than that.
River's world.....
