Some kid, driving around in an old honda civic hatchback, painted priomer grey, with all kinds of metal items welded to it to make it look like the delorian from back to the future.
No, I wish! Images courtesy of google.
I think “tiny owl” wins the thread so far.
I thought of this thread this morning when I saw a squirrel do a standing broad jump from the pipe railing on one side of a handicapped ramp, through the air straight across the ramp, to a brick pillar on the other side. It always surprises me what those little critters can do without even a running start.
But did you see an Ortho ECi with its lid up and ice packs stuffed into its guts? 'Cause I did.
A transformer went out taking main power and the air-conditioning with it. The lab transformed into a sauna; the instruments transformed into giant paperweights as they hate working in heat. I’m not too fond of it either.
Oh, and at the end of the shift I got to see what happens when liquid paraffin drips onto a heating element while nobody is looking. You get clouds of smoke, as loud noise as the fire alarms go off and suddenly you have to explain stuff to the nice police and fire personnel now standing in the lab.
Not only did I get to see my 19 month old daughter’s finger gushing blood, I got to go to the ER where I saw a man’s severed finger. Then I came home to clean up the glass and got to see blood gushing…okay, streaming…from my own palm.
I hope I have nothing new to report tomorrow. :eek:
The top of the milk pipeline as I scrubbed it clean and shiny while standing on a five gallon plastic bucket. Lots and lots and lots of fly poop. Apparently spring cleaning fever struck the farm late this year.
I also got to see the builders put in the final truss for the new holding barn today. That was pretty cool, though it was a little worrisome to see three guys fifteen feet above a cement floor, straddling beams and with nothing to stand on. At least they were wearing hard hats, right?
I saw blueprints and artists’ renderings for the new 2000 Avenue of the Stars building here in LA.
I also got to see my big hermit crab, Gumbo, change shells.

I just love it when the “cow cutter” breaks down!
A mostly-infarcted (post-FNA) papillary thyroid carcinoma on a frozen section. Luckily my scrape prep had viable tissue in it.
Tiny owls win, for sure…
This was a few weeks ago…
One of the many reasons I’ll crawl my way out of bed at 4:30 AM to go fishing…
What we didn’t get was a picture of the 3 racoons fighting… apparently one racoon was attempting to horn his way into the others territory… That was one wierd set of sounds until we saw what was actually going on.
Nine automobile headrests, all cut into 4-inch-wide strips. Tomorrow I will burn them, to make sure that those headrests meet federal flammability standards.
In almost quick succession, I saw:
a closed, empty freeway at 9:30 am, the only occupants of the lanes being a long line of CHP cruisers on their way to a fellow officer’s funeral,
and…
an artificial geyser, caused by some sort of burst water main, which sent a plume of water shooting 30-40 feet into the air right down at the end of the street where I work.
In both cases, not an everyday sight.
2 guys, look to be in their late 20s, both riding bikes and both carrying (on the handle bars) LARGE boxes–each box larger than the bike each guy was on. Riding down the street, talking earnestly to one another.
A convertible truck. No, really, a big pickup, with big tires, and a convertible top. Eh?
As reported in another thread: An aerial banner advertising “Snakes on a Plane”.
Anyone else see that, huh?
14 (?) year old conjoined siamese twin girls at the county fair. Similiar to Cheng and Eng.
For me, it was more of Things I Smelled Today That I Bet You Didn’t - in this case a man who’s refused to come out of his cell to take a shower for four months.
Please tell me they weren’t on display!
No, they weren’t. They live by us, we’ve gone to swim lessons, soccer with them before, remarkably well adapted. Didn’t really think too much of it, but the hubby actually remarked on the girls yesterday when we were at the fair, he has never seen them, and it definitely is disconcerting the first time. Almost like a trick image, he thought at first they were just two girls, hanging on each other. Parents have done an exceptional job with raising them, polite, capable, adventurous.
But I knew no one could claim seeing that.
