Jenny Hanivers were sometimes passed off as mummified demons, angels, dragons, or other mythical beasts. While most were carved on purpose by circus-men or con artists, some naturally decayed or were eaten into those shapes by predators, and likely inspired some stories of mermaids and similar creatures.
“Great apes” are known to use sticks for hunting insects and other small animals on land, and passing down those techniques through imitation, but this is the first I’ve ever heard of them fishing.
Jeff walks into a bar and sees his friend Paul slumped over the bar….He walks over and asks Paul what’s wrong.
“Well,” replies Paul, “you know that beautiful girl at work that I wanted to ask out, but I got an erection every time I saw her?”
“Yes,” replies Jeff with a laugh.
“Well,” says Paul, straightening up, “I finally plucked up the courage to ask her out, and she agreed.”
“That’s great!” says Jeff, “When are you going out?”
“I went to meet her this evening,” continues Paul, “but I was worried I’d get an erection again. So I got some duct tape and taped my member to my leg, so if I did, it wouldn’t show.”
“Sensible” says Jeff.
“So I get to her door,” says Paul, “and I rang her doorbell. She answered it in the sheerest, tiniest dress you ever saw.”
“And what happened then?”(Paul slumps back over the bar again.) “I kicked her in the face.”
Huh, new to me. Studio Ghibli Inc. is a Japanese animation film studio headquartered in Koganei, Tokyo. It is best known for its animated feature films, and has also produced several short subjects, television commercials, and two television films. Wikipedia
Scientists have found primitive stone tools in Africa that are too new; they’re the sort of tools you find associated with protohumans millions of years ago, but these tools are estimated to be only thousands of years old. After more study, they realized the shapes of the tools are wrong for human (or protohuman) hands and have concluded the tools were made by chimps.
And I thought my 857 pieces of Ghibli memorabilia was a lot. And that does not include 156 pieces from Kaze No Tani No Nausicaa, because technically it was not made ny Studio Ghibli.

I hope this isn’t found to be offensive
The first Jewish President of the United States is elected. The night before the inauguration he calls his mother.
“Mom, I’d love for you to come visit for the inauguration and stay with me for a few days.”
“Oh I don’t know, airfare is so expensive these days.”
“Mom, I’ll fly you out on Air Force One!”
“Oh, but you know, cab fare is ridiculous.”
“Mom, the Presidential motorcade will drive you here.”
“But accommodations, especially during the inau—-”
“MOM!! I’ll put you in the Lincoln bedroom itself!!”
She reluctantly agrees, hangs up and starts talking to her friend.
“Who was that?”
“My son.”
gasp “The doctor??”
“No, the other one.”
Until next time.

One day the zoo keeper noticed that the orangutan was reading two books; The Bible and On the Origin of Species.
Surprised, he asked the orangutan, “Why are you reading both of those books?”
“Well,” said the orangutan, “I just wanted to know if I was my brother’s keeper or my keeper’s brother.”

So, Eloise Von Velvet is a “model” who wears a lot of war paint, and has numerous tats, that Ripley did not try to illustrate. (Probably a good thing)
Her collection is now close to 1500 pcs.
