I'll unpaca lips.

I think this one needs a bit more work.

"How should you fold a parachute"?
"The same way that skydivers who live in Australia folded their parachutes".

"But won't that mean you will land upside down"?

Thort of by speculation, I'd say.

The God of thunder, crossed the skies, upon his favourite filly.
"I'm Thor", he cried, and the horse replied,
"You've thorgotten the thaddle, thilly".

Appears to be one of those Facebook things:

No, an Austrian airport doesn't have a desk for travelers ...​

Yes, it is truly unbelievable what all goes viral. I just read this on FB:

Jupiter's moon Europa is sending radio signals directly to Earth - and they're getting stronger.
Planetary scientists detected structured radio transmissions from Europa that appear to be artificially generated and are increasing in strength and complexity over time. The signals originate from beneath Europa's ice shell and show mathematical patterns that suggest intelligent origin rather than natural geological processes. Most intriguingly, the transmissions seem to respond to Earth-based radio signals with delayed but clearly correlated responses, indicating potential two-way communication attempts. The signal structure includes prime number sequences, geometric progressions, and other mathematical concepts that would be universal indicators of intelligence to any technological civilization. NASA's analysis confirms the signals are too complex and organized to result from natural phenomena like ice cracking, tidal heating, or magnetic field interactions.

I somehow have the impression that AI isn't an improvement.

Tell me you did not just make that up yourself!

Social media is lies. All of it.

Unless you can verify it; it didn't happen like that.


What's really frightening, is that a LOT of people do not know this.

 

[Baluncore]

Tell me you did not just make that up yourself!

I cannot lie. My dad told it to me long ago.
You can google some of the many versions.

Another more educational one ...
Little boy on the railway track,
the engine gave a squeal,
and then the driver took a spade,
and scraped him off the wheel.

Just picked this one up from American Dad. It's a little mean spirited but it *is* just a joke:

What the three rings of marriage?

1.) The engagement ring.

2.) The wedding ring.

3.) The suffering.

Again, sorry.

Another one from Facebook (so I'm not sure it's true, but still pretty funny):

Another one from Facebook (so I'm not sure it's true, but still pretty funny):

Photo true; account false.

"The photograph displayed above features an amusing juxtaposition of the usual hunter/prey relationship (the two beer-swilling moose are an especially nice touch), but that's all it is. Driving with one's vision impeded by a head covering and causing multiple traffic accidents falls far outside the realm of a joke, and no news account documents any such occurrence of multiple "moose head shock" vehicle collisions having taken place on a Maine interstate (or anywhere else)."

Snopes is awesome. They go to great lengths to verify stories. I rarely find an urban legend they haven't examined.

 

[sbrothy]

[...] "moose head shock" [...]

Hah!

What is it about moose that make them funny across public entertainment?

EDIT: I mean it's a large smelly to the point of putrid, dirty, bad-tempered, territorial animal.

Agreed, I subscribe to Snopes' news feed. How did you search on that meme? By the photo?

They look dopey with that long droopy nose.

That might be it. Also I might have watched too much “Invader Zim”. There moose are a firm stable of the show. Beware though. That show might cause epileptic attacks.

It's a little like the cartoon Archer.

Malory: Most secret agents don't tell every harlot from here to Hanoi, that they ARE secret agents!
Archer: ...Then why be one?

Reminds me of:

Last night, I surprised a burglar in my house. When I asked him what he was doing there, he replied he was looking for money. I immediately helped him, but we couldn't find any.
