MigL Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Like the Moby Dick/Melville references, Joigus. Here's one of my favorites ... There's also the quote from Star Trek: the Wrath of Khan ... “…To the last, I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart, I stab at thee; for hate’s sake, I spit my last breath at thee.” - Moby-Dick, quoted by Khan Noonien Singh Seems Star Trek writers liked H Melville. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Externet Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Sadly, it is reality. My father used to say "That is a fireman idea" when it was not bright at all... and I have seen it proven several times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVat Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Yikes! That made me cringe as much as laugh. I feel there has to be more to this than what the picture shows, because that looks just f--ing insane. Are those pads made of some special material that will give way enough to allow the train wheels to stay in the groove and yet not cut or burst the hose? Hard to imagine.

Although the first Captain Ahab played by Gregory Peck was memorable One of my favourite reads when about 11 years old!!!

"Hunting Flies" He responded. "Oh. ! Killing any?" She asked. "Yep, 3 males, 2 Females," he replied. Intrigued, she asked. "How can you tell them apart?" He responded, "3 were on a beer can, 2 were on the phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVat Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Sometimes news editors, in their haste to churn out stories, fail to catch ambiguities in their headlines. Here are a few documented cases... Drunk gets nine months in violin case. Police squad helps dog bite victim. Eighth Army push bottles up Germans. Woman better after being thrown from high rise. Solar system expected to be back in operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
