And a wire-frame space station? How about some asteroids for good measure?

Well all three of them eat ants, and their snouts are a bit similar. Hope these embeds all work!

The ugly dog at :40 here is a giant anteater:

Lookin' good in that gold armadillo armor!
(Notice I can't decide if that is an armadillo or an anteater.)

There's a documentary about Joe called "Let's Rock Again" by Dick Rude and in it, I sense a real sadness within Joe as he tries to get his new band and new record heard. He even stood on the street handing flyers to passersby and I'm thinking: he really shouldn't have to do that, right? There's another scene where he gets an on-air interview with this douchebag radio DJ who only wants to talk about the armadillo in the Rock the Casbah video. I really wanted to punch that fuck for not being more respectful.

Anyway, I miss you Joe.

Bass playahs in the Himalayas...

So true.

And other than that... it gave us all something to look at and think "Look at what we can do". We can send a spaceship up into space and it can then come back down and land on a runway, that's just darn cool.

Yeah, it had problems, yeah it had a couple of catastrophes, yeah it never met the initial goals of cost of flights and number of flights that it was supposed to reach.

BUT.

It has given a generation of us a program of ships that looked like spaceships dammit... these looked like our science fiction fantasies, these looked like what we wanted spaceships to look like, not just a capsule on top of a rocket.

So yeah, it has been a success.

It's sad that it's quite some time before something as inspirational as that will fly into space again, it really is.

It's also sad that it's left up to private enterprise and some billionaires (SpaceX, Virgin Galactic, Armadillo) to push forward in this regard, a unified, cross country effort would be do far more good for the soul of the planet at the moment I think.

Funnier if you cover the whole cat in post-its while it sleeps... Freaked out paper armadillo.

I feel like this motivates me to have a contest where we find pictures of baby animals which aren't cute. Say, like spiders.


On an unrelated topic, can I get your baby pictures?

give him a freaking bowl already


Most animals prefer non-still water. Health wise, moving water is less apt to be ridden with bacteria. You can preform this experiment with your own pets. If you have a dog and take him on a walk, have a bowl of water near a water faucet. Fill the bowl, set it to the side, but leave the faucet cracked open. Most likely, it will attempt to drink the water right out of the faucet, unless he is highly trained to drink from the bowl.

and he messed with it.>> ^Drax:
