It amazes me how some people can take a very complex concept and break it down to its basic premise with brevity and simple language, allowing the layman to fully appreciate the science.  All I can say is I wish I’d thought of it first.

Lets discuss this further with an Overnight Open Thread.

What Stalkers Really Look Like

Yep. They look just like Nonja, an orangutan who takes photos of sand, offshore oil tankers, sky, rusty latches and little green piles of undigested detritus. Actually, Nonja is a benign stalker, has her own Facebook Page, and asked that we have an Overnight Open Thread. Here you go, Nonja!

Show Me Your War Face

[Image and quote from here.]

That’s Maori Priest Irrarangi Tiakiawa, keeper of secret Maori martial arts techniques, including death strokes:

“I think this (death point striking) art should die. It is too evil for today’s society. I once witnessed my grandfather having an argument with another man and the other man was in the wrong, so my grandfather just got up and struck him with one finger to one point and the man died… “

The interview is interesting, and includes what to do if confronted by a Maori showing his war face:

1.  Stand still. If you run you’re gonna get hurt.
2.  The warrior will likely throw something down in front of you. If you don’t pick it up and hand it back to him you’re gonna get hurt.
3.  Don’t fight. If you do you’re gonna get killed.

Fortunately, you’re unlikely to encounter a Maori warrior unless you’re in New Zealand, but now you know how to react and you can live to enjoy another Overnight Open Thread.

There’s only one thing that would get me to watch The View.

Yep. A giant intelligent deep sea predator with an attitude and an awesome beak, stinking to the rafters.  In response to inane questions about things the “panelists” know nothing about, it wouldn’t need to say anything, just stare with those immense soulless black eyes, and every time that  Joy Behar or Whoopi Goldberg opens their ignorant yaps, Barbara Walters gets the ink.

Don’t know about you, but whenever I think of squid, I think of Overnight Open Threads. Let’s have one.
