It seems this has the wrong caption:

TRWTF is buying "organic yogurt".
Admin
The alert should be asking "why" — as in, why would anyone want to visit Cleveland, even online? Amirite?
Admin
Cleveland's not so bad. There's.... um....
there's....
there's....
sports? Maybe? Sometimes?
Admin
They don't even set the river on fire any more.
Admin
Stay away from Australia because you'll be out of the habitable zone for life.
Admin
I expect with all the oil and burned debris afterwards, it was rather black water.
Admin
TIL you can pay for ranch dressing with metal dust…
Admin
OK but really what's with that snake?

Well, that guy had that show that claimed "Cleveland Rocks", but I think he meant Clevelanders have rocks in their heads, or else expressing admiration for the black guy from Family Guy.

"I make fun of Cleveland because everybody makes fun of Cleveland. Every country has one city they always make fun of - back in Russia, we used to make fun of Cleveland." - Yakov Smirnoff
Actually, in defense of my fair city, it has more going for it than you might think:
One of the top 5 orchestras in the country
A top-notch art museum with free admission to most exhibits
One of the top 5 leading hospitals in the US, and the medical research that goes with that
One of the most extensive park systems in the US
A theater district that just won a Tony Award more-or-less created specifically to honor it
A great microbrewery culture (the best known being Great Lakes Brewing Co, but there are a bunch of other good ones)
The Daily WTF (last I checked), and one of the coolest or at least most unusual tech office locations you'll ever see.
Cheap to live in and visit - good meals are $15 a person, for example

Most all of Australia was completely uninhabitable even before they moved it so far from the sun, no? (choose wisely: hot desert // hot mountain // swamp with a zillion biting insects // killer marsupials )
Admin
Well it certainly doesn't seem to have benefitted much since they moved it back closer to said sun. :stuck_out_tongue:
Admin
I was only making fun of Cleveland for the same reason Yakov does.
I'll demonstrate my impartiality by slagging on Dallas: You'd have to have
rockslava[1] in your head to want to live in such a brain-meltingly hot place.[1] SWIDT?

All legitimate :)
Where are you getting good meals in Cleveland? >.>Man, the art museum folks are snooty as hell. Every time I have to work with them on something they put out these pretentious messages about how we are to behave, as if we were all small children rather than members of the community.
Admin
TRWTF there is Python --- oh wait...wrong Python.

B-spot's the only one of those I've heard of thus far. Other than Superior Pho, I've been pretty disappointed with the quality of food around these parts. I'll give some of the others a try.
Admin
That's an odd name for a pie…
Admin
Don't forget snakes! I saw on some TV show that 19 of the world's ten deadliest snakes live in Oz.
Admin
Vietnamese and Thai? North African? Greek?
EDIT: French? The most obvious one.
Admin
They know the joke about what arts graduates say to STEM graduates: "Do you want fries with that". And they resent it.
Don't worry, most of them get killed by the spiders.
Admin
How do they know it was an accident? It might have been deliberate. Almost anything is possible with Python.
Admin
The spiders aren't a problem though. The salties take care of that.
Admin
uh...

Explains a lot. The spiders are getting organised and working on a web big enough and thick enough to catch crocs. It's OK by me, I don't mind spiders. Which is just as well if your garden has many thousands of them. The good news is, the flies don't make it to the house much. People who hate spiders don't usually stop to think about how much they would enjoy a house full of flies.
Admin
If the denizens of TDWTF are representative of programmers, I don't blame the art museum folks for telling them how to behave.
Admin
Back in the day when the Teutonic Plates were nice and cosy and hugging up to each other and stuff. Something must of happened because Australia appeared to drift of by itself. The question is: Was Australia pushed, or did it jump way from group?
Admin
Which reminded me of this: [image]

Good catch :thumbsup: Tectonic / Teutonic Meh! It was early in the morning.
Admin
They were drifting away from one another in an effort to get more Lebensraum.
Admin
Damn, I was hoping this was alcoholic based refreshment so I could post:
(With an Australian accent) Hic!
But then, I should not be surprised, as I've hinted my views about German words before.
Admin
The other day I was trying to kill a fly. It was being evasive until it dodged my swatter and into a web. Ahha! Then I watched as the spider came down to prepare its prey buy then the fly buzzed so the spider ran away. Fly stopped buzzing and the spider approached. Fly started buzzing again and the spider retreated. I was mesmerised for like 10 minutes by this cycle repeating over a dozen times.
Admin
I got what you were talking about. I was just wondering when the plate(s) that make up Australia were connected to the plate(s) that comprise what is now northern Europe, but not enough to bother looking up when/if they were ever connected,
Admin
To help the inclinationary impaired, generally:

:+1:
I've been called apathetic and lazy, but this sounds better. :smile:
Getting back to the topic (which has drifted MUCH faster than tectonic plates), if Australia was ever connected directly with Europe, it was long before even the formation of Pangea, so for all practical purposes, it never happened.
Admin
I think the postulated idea was that Austria and the rest of the world went their separate ways. The question was then posed as to why?
On a more humorous note: Accepted that there are only 4 "snapshots", what was so interesting about Asia's nether regions that made India want to shove it's head in there so damn quickly (1 frame)?
Admin
Admin
Your wrong, but I like the way you're thinking...... :wink:
Admin
I mistyped and accepted the first alternative. :stuck_out_tongue:
Admin
Admin
Granted, Austria hasn't done much of importance recently, but being annexed by Germany at the start of WWII was not exactly "going its separate way," and the Austro-Hungarian Empire was very involved in world affairs in WWI and prior.
Why was Österreich — Eastern kingdom/empire/realm — anglicized to "Austria" so that it is confused with "Australia" — from Latin austellis, south?
Admin
See, I'm not the only one
Admin
Bit of an understatement there :)
Admin
Well, I always learned that Australia is really far away from here (in Europe). That would explain the sun. But I could be wrong, of course:

Why? Inorganic yoghurt is quite hard to imagine. A silicon based yoghurt in a glass bottle might be quite a hard sell.
