Suing the dead.

Only in America, where even the dead (or their estates at least) can be sued :

Pictorial Interlude – extreme sports Thai style and steeplechase for slugs …

Work seriously getting in the way of everything else just now but I finally managed to flutter in with the following :

Extreme Sports Thai style and a damned good photograph to boot :

And, steeplechase for slugs – even a 5 meter race would take some time. I wonder if they have a salt bath instead of water splash?

Thanks to Mr Raccoon for keeping things moving while I have been elsewhere!

Now, back to spreadsheets …

Pictorial Interlude – Evolution and something amazing

Hello there, Mr.Raccoon back here with some more pictures.

It’s amazing what you can do with books – you can learn by reading those, or you can burn and cut ‘em up to create some art.

And for this last piece here all I can say is Origami Level: 1000+

Well and that’s that for this time. It’s been a pleasure again and see you in a bit.

Mr.Raccoon – Out!

Cheers!

Pictorial Interlude – Monkeybutt, Drugs and why not to worry

Howdy, Mr Raccoon back from a break with some more funnies.

If some of you remember the picture with a trained drinking monkey then just in case you need some powder.

Drugs seen by doctors

And finally a hint why not to worry…too much

Well it’s been fun again and I’ll be off yet again with a quest to find some more funnies to brighten up the days with a little laughter.

Mr. Raccoon – out!

Cheers!

Now this is what I call a police dog on a mission.

Guy with a gun against a very athletic and determined police dog …

Euro Humour – Get back on board for fuck’s sake!

A very amusing cartoon from Der Spiegel via ZeroHedge – pay attention to the caption below :

UK overtakes Japan in the race for who owes the most money.

Whilst the MSM speak constantly of cuts, the reality is that the UK has never owed more money and is now neck and neck with the Eastern basket case that is Japan.

The following chart from a ZeroHedge article shows just what state we are now in, with debt continuing to climb while the rest of the world starts the process of paying down at least some of their borrowings. For clarity, the UK is the blue line that leaves the rest of the pack behind and races up to join Japan in the lepers corner at the top of the chart.

Given that the budget itself isn’t forecast to be in balance until at least 2015, I assume that line can only go higher unless the whole pile comes crashing down in the mean time.

Pictorial Interlude – Inside-out zoo and nightlife freakery.

Could this be classified as meals on wheels I wonder :

I am not quite sure what you would describe the next one as though – possibly Saturday night freak show …

Pictorial Interlude – Animal vs Human parents

A very amusing montage.

Parents and their offspring – spot the animal amongst this little selection :

When approaching the airport parking barriers, please slow down ..

Apparently at Dallas Fort Worth airport – neat takeoff but I would expect a rather bumpy landing …

Brilliant Heath Robinson (or Rube Goldberg) machine video …

Via Watts up with that, an amazing real life Heath Robinson (or Rube Goldberg for US readers) machine in action :

I wonder how many hamsters were cooked before they got the whole thing to work …

Got a friend who insists on driving drunk? Smack him in the face and then strangle him and he will probably change his mind …

One way to deal with a drunken friend :

Lets hope the hangover hurt more than the jaw …

If things are not going your way it could always be worse – like being scalped by a leopard …

Full of positive spirit (and a few gallons of the alcoholic kind) after my holidays, always look on the bright side as it could always be a lot worse, as this indian guy (via Pravda) discovered when he went leopard fighting :

Among the four other people attacked was the man in the photos, Kripesh Dey, who was scalped. The man is now OK but he had the fright of his life and was jolly cheesed off. The local authorities have confirmed that the leopard will be taken to the Manas wildlife sanctuary 200 kilometres from the city, where it will be released to live in the wild.

I am left wondering if Bobby Charlton ever met a leopard?

Pictorial Interlude – Amusing chocolate bar wrapping combinations …

They made me laugh anyway …

Back to blighty, beware of glass doors and poop time …

And all too soon I am back on these shores again after a damned good time away in Estonia … normal service will resume shortly when I straighten my antennae out a little.

For now, beware of glass doors and possibly the strangest video snippet I have ever seen :
