“Don’t worry Ma’am, I’m from the Internet.”
It’s brilliant. I’m guessing it’s a methane collector connected to a burner to provide lift to the parachute. I’d name the single-user gas-fired flying machine “Jack The Ripper.”

Hot Links from The Planet of the SuperSuckers

Led Zeppelin‘s classic “Whole Lotta Love” was a blatant ripoff of Willie Dixon‘s song “You Need Love” but you knew that already, yah?
Early on, the band was predicted to fail “like a lead balloon,” so they adopted the name, replaced “balloon” with “zeppelin” then spelled their name “Led Zeppelin” instead of “Lead Zeppelin” to keep people from pronouncing it “leed“. Not sure if it’s true, but it sounds plausible.
The Stick – Jonathan Winters.
The Pencil – Milton Friedman.
The Axe – Ed Ames.
Double muscling is the result of a genetic mutation that causes a lack of Myostatin. It’s been observed in cattle, goats, sheep, dogs, rabbits and mice. (In rabbits, their tongues also enlarge and get really strong. Hunh.)
Double muscling occurs in humans as well.

There’s a small chance that Tacky Raccoons may go dark for a while as we update from our trusty Apple IIe networked banks to Windows XP. Please be patient, and if you can’t stand a delay, check out our friends hotlinked in the sidebar.

Saturday Matinee – Bert The Turtle, Time for Sushi & Jaco Pastorious
Saturday, 22 July 2017
Bert The Turtle showed children how to survive a nuclear attack – assuming they’re far enough away from Ground Zero to have time to react. The film was shown in schools from 1952 into the 1990s.
David Lewandowski‘s “Time for Sushi” (2017) is pure disturbed weirdness. (His 2013 vid “Late For Meeting” is a classic.)
The late Jaco Pastorius was one of the greatest jazz-funk fretless bass players in modern times, IMO. [Video h/t TITH]
Have a great weekend, folks. We’ll do something just as fun tomorrow.
