I Don’t Know What It Means, But I Like It.

Mid-1500’s Half Bath Chair

Okay. Let’s try to suss this one out.

There’s a throne with a hole, and a basin to catch the football that for some odd reason is located in front of the seat. There’s a megaphone to amplify the action, presumably to alert a nearby attendant that a goal has been scored. The attendant opens a small valve and dumps it on the floor. But then, um, it won’t, er, like, you know, it doesen’t, well, work and, uh, hmm. I give up.

Image Description: Subject: Chair with opening in the seat and a tub underneath with a spigot attached; for the purpose of producing steam baths to alleviate the pain of bladder stones.

[Found here, via here. Updated with enlarged portion.]

[Update 2: Just realized that I made a typo several months ago, and The .Gif Friday Posts were mis-numbered by a factor of 100. The titles and permalinks are fixed now. Lo siento.]

Dude looks like a Lady

And vice versa. Sometimes we find stuff that’s just too stupid to post, yet too inane to throw away.  This is one of them.

Lucha Libre Robbery

If I was going to rip off a liquor store equipped with a surveillance camera, this is exactly how I’d do it, except that I’d use a trained emu instead. [Found here.]

The Real Story?

Huh. The kid is eye-bawling directly into the other cameraman’s lens to show his pain, but I suspect that the snake was already dead. Is that a genuine un-cropped National Geographic photo? I don’t know, Babs, but I do know this.

NatGeo changed several years ago when her new editors veered from illuminating the fascinating fields of anthropology, zoology and botany, and began promoting the pop pseudo-science absurdity that “humans-are-destroying-the-universe.”

Now will someone please remove the snake carcass from that kid’s leg before he depletes his acting skills?
