The news this morning is already grim, with a terror attack in Paris last night and another in Surabaya, Indonesia. The other predominant bit of news in Europe this morning is that Israel won the Eurovision. The song is utterly weird, but you can watch it here.
It’s Stevie Wonder’s birthday today, so that gives me the perfect excuse to listen to a couple of tracks from his prodigious catalogue.
On Twitter today:
Cats are kind and gentle and soft

It’s just as well they do not have opposable thumbs.
They're still evolving. pic.twitter.com/DbGEZE34r9

And a fossil. Noah had a lot of seriously big marine predators to consider when he built his boat.
Kids, we’re going to need a bigger boat.

Lost in translation
It's been two years. So it's worth revisiting the time a friend was slightly confused by her + Jews! travel charger. Before she realised it was iSmart, upside down. pic.twitter.com/rKj39UNJGh

Finally over in Poland Hili appears to be approaching apotheosis. Or at least, so she thinks.
Hili: In the beginning was the word and the word was “cat”.
A: And now you are inventing things, too.
In Polish:
Hili: Na początku było słowo kot.
Ja: Ty też zmyślasz.

How amazingly terrifying C. megalodon must have been! Oh I mean, how amazingly terrifying they ARE, right, discovery channel? 😉 I bet those mermaids are a frequent prey item…
And here’s a pedant’s pro tip: always harass people for referring to C. megalodon as just Megalodon by talking about the extinct bivalve genus. Yes, I too fear a long slow death by mollusk.
Re. C. megalodon…when my wife saw it (she just happened to be walking behind me as I was marveling at it) she quipped: I would hate to meet that hamster.
Are we sure that it’s not the brand +Jews! that just happens to look like iSmart upside down?
That iPhone travel charger provides pretty convincing evidence the Rothschilds secretly control Apple, amirite?
Alice Walker would agree.
Only ( l i t e r a l l y ) The Commander’s handmaid
am I; but TO the rest of the mothers ( USA’s at least )
out here, Happy Mother’s Day !
Let us all, as mamas, try in future to help
to do thus: ELIMINATE child – inculcation of
or by any religion and its religionists.

Plus, too, this ! Of course !
( even if … … I am Ofherod’s handmaid ! )

Hilis dialog of today is superb once again: just two such short sentences with so much depth and wit.
If during the great flood it rained enough to cover even the highest mountains, wouldn’t that much fresh water have greatly diluted the salt in the oceans and would this cause fish that live in salt water to die?
