I got other escrow sites we can use if you like. Don't you want to be rich and celebrate trump's victory?

Or we can do escrow through an attorney. The school secretary is a notary. I'll mail the contract first class and I'll be sure to sign it in a ceremonial fashion with a quill. Ok i won't do that but i WILL really make that bet. Put up man. Lets do this thing. Donald trump's says he won the election AND HE IS AN HONEST MAN so you don't have anything to worry about. One thing is for sure you can use that extra money to donate to whatever campaign you want cuz it'll be yours when you win it because Donald Trump will be here for four more years right?

Kicked Out of Class for Saying There are Two Genders

BSR says...

"Keep off my pen.
This is my quill, and this is my pen. This one's for writing, and this one's for sin."

Brilliant! I love it.

But death calls now, gotta run.

EDIT: You hold on to that pen as tight as you can. But you may want to buy another one just... in.....case.

First, I said that about his arguments....but I'm not saying it DOESN'T apply to the person.

1) Second, those are my informed opinions, not stated flatly as fact, not repeated as facts. You know that....so no, it doesn't apply.

2) Discussing anything with Bob is never self serving, it's a distasteful public service. Using verifiable fact to contradict nonsense proffered as fact is a civil responsibility, not an enjoyable privilege.

Keep off my pen.
This is my quill, and this is my pen. This one's for writing, and this one's for sin.

I am so glad you said that!

Does that also apply when you call someone "dumb, Infantile, pathetic, stupid," etc?

Or is that just self serving?

Remember, I need your pen.

German Train makes Music

oritteropo says...

Well it is an electric train... I did mean to put the info into the description, but only put it in the tags.

The train is a Siemens Taurus, ES 64 U2. According to Jimbo's big bag'o'trivia, it has a top speed of 230 km/h, although there is a really similar model which proved itself quite a bit faster at 357 km/h in testing prior to delivery. It also says it has a quill drive, but I'm not really sure what that means or why it would reduce track forces.

CrushBug said:

That has to be some sort of electrical motor that is making that sound, wouldn't you think?

Bowling Ball and Feather dropped in largest vacuum chamber

newtboy says...

@eric3579 and @dag -
I thought about that...but the entire feather is under the same gravity, so being accelerated at the same rate. Without anything to disrupt that, like air, I was confused. If you wave the feather in a vacuum, it would make sense because the force would travel through the quill then out to each 'strand' (just like the flag 'waving' on the moon when they moved it)...but being dropped as it was, it didn't make sense to me. Perhaps it's not near a perfect vacuum, only close enough to do the experiment?

My alternate guess is moment of inertia...but I can't fully explain why.

eric3579 said:

My guess would be that it has to do with the acceleration of the feather due to the gravitational force. That however is a stab in the dark. Anyone?

Baby Hedgehog Licking a Finger

HadouKen24 says...

It's not trying to eat the finger or taste it. It's trying to anoint itself with the scent of the finger. There's another video by the same user (you can see it in the suggested videos) that's 4 seconds long showing the behavior.

Hedgehogs, when confronted with strange new scents, lick and gnaw on the object until they have enough of the scent in their mouth. They then foam up their spittle and reach around and spread the foamy stuff on their quills.

It's really weird. No one really knows why they do it.

DOOM (Original DOS Version) Episode 1: Knee-Deep In The Dead

Talkative Porcupine Eats Bananas in his Tree Fort

xxovercastxx says...

Random porcupine fact: Porcupines naturally secrete antibiotics from their skin.

Fresh leaf buds lure them out to the end of branches that cannot support their weight. They end up falling and their own quills stick them when they land. The antibiotics help to ward off infections.

Woman pulls porcupine quills from raven's face

chingalera says...

-the survival circuit over-riding others-the raven is already pretty nonplussed by humans as they're mainly scavengers living in proximity-Trippy that the bird didn't fly-off and maybe back after those quill-pulls? Here's the real rub:The bird's brain probably processed the information that it would take a big brain and some thumbs to do the work and made the connection to engage a suitable pair!

Create distraction, remove adhesive bandage

WaterDweller said:

I'm guessing it's got some genetic trait that reduces its ability to feel fear, explaining both why it would get up close and personal with a porcupine, and why it would be unafraid of humans.

HILARIOUS Cinnamon Challenge Suicide Attempt

Sagemind says...

Ground cinnamon actually have barbs much like porcupine quills. Once they get sucked into your lungs, they cling to the walls of your lungs and can cause serious permanent damage.

I'm glad this video was posted. Not because it was funny, but because it serves as warning to all the idiots that plan to try this.

The "Cinnamon Challenge" is a challenge, like "Russian Roulette" is a challenge. OK, maybe not quite that bad, but just as stupid.

This is the best breakdown on the toxicity of cinnamon I could find:

Porcupine who thinks he is a puppy! Meet Stinkers!

dag says...

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

When we lived up in Alaska- we had a dog who used to like to "play" with porcupines. He used to come home with a mouth full of quills - all through his muzzle, even piercing his tongue. Very nasty. Looks something like this.

Hedgehog Declares Its Immeasurable Trepidation

Golgi says...

i had one of those (african pygmy hedgehog). never made any noise at all aside from knocking shit over in his tank.

also, you only need gloves if they bite, the quills arent very sharp and are quite close together.
