The Kiwi

Posted in Humor, The Environment on January 26th, 2013

Presented for your edification and enjoyment, a very rare 19th century anatomical cross-section of New Zealand’s kiwi.

KiwiApteryx Australis – Anatomical Cross-Section

Many zoologists wondered at its internal structures but more wondered about how well the kiwi went with Midori and vodka. :lol:

Lady Gaga’s New Outfit

Posted in Humor, Music, Society, The Environment on October 30th, 2012

Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) seems genetically predisposed towards garish and outlandish outfits, but this latest one may take the prize as the oddest one as of yet.

Phyllodes imperialis - Pink Underwing Moth caterpillar
A New Outfit For Lady Gaga?

OK, OK – Just kidding. ;-) In a similar vein to Donald Trump’s rogue toupee, this is actually a Pink Underwing Moth (Phyllodes imperialis) from the Springbrook National Park in Queensland, Australia.

But who knows? If Ms. Germanotta sees this post – not a total impossibility – perhaps it’ll give her some inspiration. ;-)

As signs of catestrophic anthropogenic global warming – or whatever the eco-Leftist are currently trying to re-brand it as – keep failing to appear and more and more actual science, as opposed to willful fraud, surfaces, it’s looking a lot like the Warmists are out of ideas of how to promulgate the doctrine and dogma of Al Gore’s doomsday cult.

Suggestions? …Bueller…Bueller?

At this point in history, having beggared credulity and staining the already tarnished reputation of what passes for science these days, I don’t even think “crowd sourcing” will help the Warmists. ;-)

I’m quite happy to say the days of people lending credence to Cryptoclimatology are over. Their search for Hotfoot has turned up little or nothing that is believable.
