MERRY CHRISTMAS YOU MOTHERFATHERS

[yayoineko]

Came across some 1990’s Star Trek news for DS9. During  filming of “What you Leave Behind”, the Dukat vs Sisko fight scene, Avery Brooks accidentally punched Marc Alaimo, breaking his nose. A loud “crack!” and blood was everywhere on set. Alaimo had to be taken to the hospital in full Cardassian make-up and had 2 black eyes for a week. I know fights are carefully choreographed but Alaimo said he didn’t turn his head away in time. Ouch! Poor Mr. Alaimo!
*Carries Mr. Alaimo in my arms to the ambulance like a princess, my face wet from ugly crying* T_T;;

Is it terrible that I laughed?

I mean, I’ve heard this story before, but it always makes me giggle.  Especially having heard Marc tell the story about standing on a guy’s balls for an entire scene on live TV.

You are a deep-sea barreleye fish! Their unusual eyes can rotate within a transparent shield that covers the fish’s head, which allows the barreleye to peer up at potential prey or focus forward to see what it is eating.

In addition to their amazing headgear, barreleyes have a variety of other interesting adaptations to deep-sea life. For example, their large, flat fins allow them to remain nearly motionless in the water, and to maneuver very precisely.

2015 - Here are some gifs of Donald Trump being attacked by a bald eagle named Uncle Sam, literally the least patriotic thing that can happen to an American. [video]

I’m reblogging this again because I finally realized why this is so funny to me, as a bird person.

In the first gif, what you’re seeing is a man who has zero idea how to handle a bird. That’s a heavy bird, and he’s got his arm stretched out as far as it will go in an attempt to keep the bird away from his face. What that does is create unstable footing for Uncle Sam. The handler is there trying to hold up Trump’s arm, but the bird has already realized it needs to leave or it will fall. In the first gif the bird is not attacking Trump- it is trying to get away from him so it doesn’t get hurt.

In the second gif, what we see is a bird that remembers what just happened and is blaming Trump for it. Uncle Sam sees Trump reach for its tether, and makes a lunge at Trump’s hand to keep him away. The bird /does not/ want to hang out with Trump because it has learned that Trump has no idea what he is doing.

Uncle Sam is rejecting Trump based on Trump’s proven inability to properly handle Uncle Sam. And that is both hilarious and beautiful.

Good bird.

This is a better explanation of these gifs than I could have given!

I had to reblog this, for obvious reasons.

if anyone ever tells you that english isn’t ridiculous remember that the reason why we have a silent b in debt is because a group of guys got together to standardise english spelling and got to the word debt, which at the time was primarily spelled either ‘dett’ or ‘det’. so they basically went:

‘everyone speaks latin, right? so let’s put a silent b in debt. like debitum, which is latin for debt. problem solved.’

also the reason why there is a h in ghost is because when the printing press first came to england the only people trained to operate it were flemmish speaking, and they put a h after g because that’s what you do in flemmish. they put shit like ghirl and ghoose, but the only reason why ghost stuck is because people saw ‘the holy ghost’ in the bible and were like ‘well, that MUST be right’.

so yeah english is a really stupid language with some of the most ridiculous spelling

[beka-tiddalik]

Anyone telling you that English isn’t a bullshit Frankenstein language is lying.

English mugs other languages in dark alleys and rifles through their pockets for spare vocabulary.  Pass it on.
