    I think there is a loosely organized gang of people posting lots of similar sentences on a few particular topics all over the internet in order that the google AI search counter gets tricked into giving silly answers. Because when I typed the above Title into Google search, the first result at the top included: "Geologists recommend eating at least one small rock... Americans should be ingesting at least a single serving of pebbles, geodes, or gravel with breakfast, lunch, or dinner,” said Dr. Joseph Granger."

    This evening on TCM I watched the movie Catch22. I never read the book but I'm sure I saw it when it was released in 1970.

  10. The rich Melonsby Hoard of iron age artifacts were found by a guy with a metal defector in Yorkshire 3 years ago or so. It's a wealthy hoard of precious items. But centuries ago the whole lot were all buried after being burnt or disfigured by hammer blows or cut up. Hiding a treasure hoard is not surprising, but deliberately ruining them before the burial has the archaeologists puzzled. So they came up with the odd theory that a wealthy person or group destroyed them to advertise how wealthy they were. As in showing that such a treasure trove was a mere trifle to them. Somehow I can't imagine a group of ancient elites sitting around their impressive round house …

    When I was first getting my kitty Nala checked by the vet, he made a passing remark about cats being desert animals, which I mentally dismissed as sounding unlikely.... Then I bumped into this today. Who knew? Felis Margarita? Sounds more like a bar cat...... 😺

    I just read that Imgur is changing their TOS, Someone suggested trying PostImage. It is easier to use than Imgur and free. I just loaded this image now, took about 5 seconds.
