Yep. There’s something seriously wrong with that lady’s right shoulder.

[Found here, here and here, with a bonus just because it’s awesome.]

SkyPug

No, that’s not Seamus Romney, as if one’s preferred method of transporting a dog has anything to do with one’s qualifications for President of the USA.  Did he pick them up by the ears? Nah, yet Obama ate one, by his own admission.

Do I care? Um, yeah.

The .Gif Friday Post No.242 – CYRIAK

We’ve been posting Cyriak Harris‘ odd .gif animations occasionally for years without knowing that he was the original source. I never connected them with the videos that Bunkarina turned me onto (like “Cows and Cows and Cows“). The guy is brilliantly talented and one of the most entertaining animation artists I’ve seen since Terry Gilliam.

All three .gifs from Cyriak’s jawdropping website: here, here and here.

Decoys

I’d love to see a vid with a surfeit of skunks circling overhead and dropping into this dude’s  lawn just to see what he does. Check out all the pelts stacked up on the side of his house. The guy’s a pro.

L’Abbé Jean-Baptiste de La Chapelle’s Contribution To The World

Father Jean-Baptiste de La Chapelle, born about 1710 and probably died in 1792 in Paris. Before a large audience, he jumped into the Seine, eating, drinking, snuffing, discharging a pistol and writing while floating on the surface. He tried again, three years later, this demonstration before Louis XV near the royal hunting lodge in the forest of Senart, but his attempt failed when the current swept him away so fast that the king could not identify what happened to him.

His invention was a cork suit for soldiers, a precursor to the modern life vest. [Found here.]
