Alexandria Occasional Cortex is an idiot. (Yes, I know, low-hanging fruit.)
Can you count past infinity? Common sense says no. Mathematicians say “it depends.”
The United States is now officially free of measles. How long it will remain that way is anyone’s guess, between unchecked Third World immigration and the stupidity of anti-vaxxers.
Want to keep flies off your cows? Paint them up like zebras. No shit! Excerpt, because I found this pretty interesting:
…the researchers painted six Japanese Black cows with black-and-white stripes, which took just five minutes per cow. They then observed the cows for three days, taking high-resolution images of them at regular intervals to count the insects on the animals and also recording any fly-repelling behaviors like leg stamping, tail flicking, and skin twitching. The same cows were also observed for three days with painted-on black stripes (to see if it was the paint chemicals, not the coloring, that repelled flies) and and with no stripes at all.
The apparent effects of the stripes were remarkable. The number of biting flies observed on zebra-striped cows was less than half the number seen on unpainted cows and far less than cows painted with black stripes. Moreover, zebra-striping reduced fly-repelling behaviors by about 20%, indicating that the cows were less bothered by the insects.
Remind me to buy some zebra-stripe shirts before the next time I go fishing in Canada. Hope it works on mosquitoes.
Have aliens bugged space rocks? I doubt it, but if we found one – then what?
Impeachment seems to be helping President Trump, not Democrats. Newt Gingrich was unavailable for comment.
Colorado breweries were big winners at the 2019 Great American Beer Fest. One of the things I like about Colorado, although I confess that the things I dislike about Colorado are catching up with the things I like.
Joe Biden tries to sell us a bill of goods.
Princess Spreading Bull lied about having been fired for being pregnant. Add that lie to the list, folks.
On that lie-detecting note, we return you to your Wednesday, already in progress.
