gimme a big wet one, bojana!

So the NZ batfly is similar to a remora on sharks?

No wings, no fly…

Upside-down? Aww, that’s nothin’… here in the US we’re seeing it inside-out.

Re: Polish trees – wonder if it was due to the Tunguska Event? That would explain why all of them are bent at the same place and same direction.

My bottom’s bent, too.Or is that cracked?May have to get a new one…..

hmmmmm….I submitted the “Crooked Forest” at least a year ago. http://curious-places.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-crooked-forest-near-gryfino-poland.html

If everything she saw was upside down, why did she learn to read upside up? Her hands and feet would be upside down, but the paper would be upside up, which means reading is the only mirrored perspective.

There was a guy many years ago that did a experiment with glasses that turned everything upside down..He had to learn to walk down the street and function normally..After a month (I think) his brain was re-wired and flipped everything right-side up..His further experiment was taking off the glasses and, of course, everything was wrong-side up but it only took a week for his brain to flip his eyesight back to normal.

Bent trees are no mystery, there is a stand of planted pines on ft Rucker, al. That are bent the same way from a hurricane that bent them flat when they were about 4 ft. Tall. They later resumed vertices growth.

That’s vertical (auto complete rears its ugly head again)

Regardless of what the event was, it is quite obvious that something blew all the trees over at the same time while they were younger, and afterwards they started growing vertically up from what had been the leading tip. A derecho through a young stand of trees is one possibility. A Tonguska-like blast is another.
