In November, 700 Intercontinental Weapons Were Launched Against the USA?

Do drop bears call "Help! Help!" and then drop on you when you look up, the way jagulars do?

 

Not unfamiliar with such accounts, I'd approach cassie with great caution if all all. It should be known that I even see docile imprisoned elephants as trouble. Chimpanzees can rip your face off. Panda bears will separate from your testicles, given the chance. Hippos - forget about it.

Odd it seems to me that a third your weight pit-bull dog can be viewed as death dealing, while these others are cartoonish. All for you I say, I shall be watching from far behind.

 

I also am wondering about the tree shadow on the right. Should we be seeing a trunk shadow connecting to it, and showing some consistency with other shadows? I'm seeing how it might possibly be hidden on the right, but what about the left?

 

Anyone felt the need to ask why photoshop such an image?

Seems cassowaries checking out beach goers is just a thing on this beach at Moresby Range Park.

"There is a Surf Club at Etty Bay although the waves aren't at all daunting as well as a café for snacks and many shady trees to park under while you swim in the stinger net. If you are lucky a cassowary might wander by but don't feed it."

Holey moley. It reeked fake but it ain't.

OK I'm ready to misjudge some UFO photos now. All warmed up.

 

Yes, because of @fuzzy1 's question about the tree shadows, I did a bit of an image search to see what shape the trees were. There are trees with big overhanging branches, so that makes sense. If the picture were taken between about 4 and 5 pm, the tree shadows and the leg shadows do make sense.

But an image search for Etty Beach gave me loads of pictures of cassowaries wandering around while tourists were on the beach. It seems to be very much a thing there.

 

The entire thing seemed so biologically wrong. Without that (false) confidence I would have Bing-ed up photos as well.

It still seems biologically wrong. Like Jurassic Park with too much X anax.

((today I learned that X anax is a banned word))

 

No, they make the sound of a stubbie being opened. That will attract any Australian.

 

Yes, I can understand that. It does look wrong.

 

I feel 15 to 30% forgiven.

 

The shadowing of the blue umbrella in Trollbait's sample image, not shown in the original here, also helps clarify sun angle for me.

 

The cafe has little yellow pills for the guests and wildlife.

This came up in my Quora feed today....



From the grammar, I suspect it's from a Chinese student who has lived here. It's very true.

 

A "link experiencing service denial."

Appears to be Goodyear blimp, flying over Daytona 500, showing message: DON'T SHOOT

 

A quirk of the site with images. The link doesn't work in the comment post, but shows fine in the writing field, whether original, editing, or quoting.

 

The link pointed to an image on cleanmpg.com. One typical issue would be that cleanmpg.com is one of those sites that discourages deep linking into their content from other sites. They're happy to serve the image as part of the cleanmpg page it appears on, but when they see a request for just the bare image coming with a page origin of priuschat.com, their cross-origin policy denies the request. You see it in your browser while editing because you've already visited the cleanmpg page and retrieved it.

A similar thing happens if linking to a site where images are only shown to signed-in users, and of course you're signed in while linking to the image.
