Not entertaining per se, howeveer the ever-awesome David Squires has put together a cartoon in response to idiots who think mocking Hillsborough is acceptable.

I can't link directly to the cartoon, but worth a click.

Billy and Tammy wondered what Santa was up to. Thankfully, he'd just wiped the blood off his sickle and they wouldn't have a clue, for the moment...

(Why did old timey Santa carry a sickle!?)

To collect mistletoe and boughs of holly, obviously.

And going by what's in his left hand, heads for ritual shrinking.

Looks like a display of heads between the bridge and his right shoulder :eek:

The things you stumble upon (was reading an article about geology and this was in it) ... who knew that Donald Duck is actually 1/4 coot!? And that he has a cousin called 'Fanny Coot'! :lol:

This is a colourization from an 1886 photo, but it had me thinking you could start a blog called "Historic or Hipster" with such things to guess if it's actually old or a more modern person / photoshop. :grin:

Shortest day of the year yesterday, so the crusties made their annual pilgrimage to Brú na Bóinne
What happens during sunrise at Newgrange?

Newgrange, which has a stone age passage tomb that's older than the pyramids in Egypt, is located in the Boyne Valley, Co Meath. It features a 19m-long passage that leads into a chamber with three alcoves. 

The passage and chamber are aligned with the rising sun on the mornings around the Winter Solstice. 

Above the entrance is an opening called a roof box, through which a beam of light penetrates the roof box and travels up the length of the passage and into the chamber on the Winter Solstice. 

As the sun rises higher, the beam widens and the whole chamber is illuminated for 17 minutes.

The OPW says the solar alignment of the passage tomb at Newgrange to face the rising sun on winter solstice is a significant astronomical finding of global importance. 

Newgrange was re-discovered by Professor Michael J O’Kelly in 1967 and analysis of high-resolution imagery taken during last year’s research programme adds to a convincing body of evidence that the solar illumination was an intentional feature of the tomb.

The Brexit banger, none of that foreign muck, mechanically recovered pink goo flavoured with racism, patriotism and despair.

Reminds me of the time in '67 (or was it '68?) when I found my old man's stash of Playboy magazines and innocently proceeded to cut out all the cartoons I liked for my scrapbook. Was very confused when he got home and started angrily chasing me around the house! Probably explains the birthday card I drew for him a few days before the Apollo 11 moon landing in '69 - a bare-breasted woman popping out of a lunar crater and shouting "Surprise!" :oops:

Just found this.

It’s quite incredible.




When they start looking like they are rotating I couldn’t believe they weren’t actually moving at all. They don’t rotate a bit.
