Lead is toxic

Yet they built a 6 X 6 X4 foot balloon (or something of similar size) and got it to float.

For some reason that just annoys the hell out of me. They have nothing better to do? The world needed to know that? Why aren’t they addressing more pressing questions like whether you really would sprout feathers if you ate one more piece?

Welp it’s not like trump cares about the safety of anyone working in the media. After all the man is not known for his empathy. If he will revel in jailing a baby in diapers a grown up cameraman is no biggie. That’s why I suggested that BBC sue his ample ass.

Cause everybody knows somebody who knows somebody who has a cousin who has a friend who actually did sprout feathers so everybody knows it’s true already.

:grin:

no wait, it’s was the cousin’s friend’s little sister who sprouted feathers. Yeah that’s it,

Actually seeing the damn thing fly is pretty cool. I think I was just offended to see a time-honored simile humiliated that way. They should address the frog in hot water thing, because that’s simply not true, but if they did they’d be excoriated as frog abusers.

I just tried to google sprouting feathers if ya eat that last piece… didn’t get much information that was useful. Praps if we consulted with the stable genius hisownself we may get some useful data. I mean …trump knows everything…right?

The shamelessness is breathtaking.

As is the utter lack of empathy for the cameraman (whom the WH failed to mention).

You make-a zee joke. But we both know a quarter of the population believes the sun goes around the earth. True story. So your joke could be true. Since 2016 and until the day I die I will figure a large percentage of Americans are capable of believing any fool notion you tell them.

I suspect that a goodly percentage of people in this country believe:

  1. the earth is flat…(hmmm, looks flat doesn’t it?)
  2. not much exists outside the US of A. (Just lookit yer maps buddy)
    I spent decades teaching scientific principles to medical students, I am familiar with that look of disbelief.

@tena if this will help you out of your funk… it’s a 16 minute talk by Admiral McRaven who was the head SEAL. In this talk he describes the 10 things we need to be good and decent folk. When I listened to it last night it reduced me to blubbering tears of appreciation because it was EXACTLY what my dad spend years trying to teach me (and not all that successfully I might add …When I was younger … I had to learn it the hard way).
I love that man

Of course this is for anyone out there.

These are all the things trump missed learning as a kid.

Now I remember taking two styrofoam balls and trying to convince a classmate in seventh-grade science class that the fucking moon did too revolve, look again, watch my right hand jesus what’s the matter with you. I suck teaching, really.
