Stargate stuff
Anyhow, under sea Stonehenge off the coast of Okinawa, some 110 feet under water. The stones are upwards of 12 feet high:

They also found this chick down there:
In all seriousness, I love ancient mysteries.
Is our daddies E.T.?...

Chit and Hurch
Yet another CSB....
I made this for my step daughter who had an art project in college. She had to do a cartoon or something and asked for ideas.
Basically, Chit and Hurch are huffers -- glue, paint, name it. I can't remember the clever thoughts behind their names (Hit and Church maybe?), but anyhow, they find some industrial glue that kills them when they open/huff it. Within moments, the world blows up like a Nick Cage movie, and they _safely_ fall into the depths of the earth into some great crevasse....
Anyhow, with them falls the industrial glue and preservative, which perfectly preserves their freshly deceased bodies for millennia.
Eons later, aliens find nothing of humanity on Earth save deep within it, and only Chit and Hurch, who, they bring back to life via their technology, and then, keep C&H in their alien museum as a representation of the sum total of humanity -- compete with paint cans used for huffing....

Update: I just remembered, Hit and Church are spins on "Hitler and Churchill" ... I have no clue why I did that, but if you look close you can see Hit's little mustache....

So....
1st, a preemptive CSB:
One of my fav NSFW places to go is reddit. I'm here now to call out the over-use of a word:
So....
It has to be the most used word to begin a post on reddit.
WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT CLICK THIS LINK! DO NOT START REDDIT! YOU WILL NEVER ESCAPE IT!!!!!!!!!
Ok, I'm calming down. Still. Let's discuss:
So, shit. I mean, anyhow. What is "so"? ... a conjunction. My wife does that on the phone using her fake phone voice, when she's talking to someone I can tell she doesn't know that well. She'll tell something and at the end of it go, "so..." followed by a slight chuckle. In that vein, I guess it's like, "I just said something I hope you approve of or find entertaining. I don't know you that well, and I just want us to be swell." Ending "so's" are more requests I suppose. Opening "so's" are more like, "ok listen." Either way, they have something to do with not knowing what else to say, I mean, besides the normal use of "so" to connect main clauses (stfu! about grammar!).
In Puerto Rico, they say, "ehtay, ehtay, ehtay...." I asked what that meant and someone said, "oh, it's like saying, "ummm."
I just watched an entire Spongebob Squarepants episode where he gets stuck in Patrick's giant ball of gum. Spit kept dripping out of it. It was gross, and people lived inside of it too, but they escaped. Spongebob is trippy man. I don't do acid, but it's gotta have fan following amongst its adherents....

Coffin Phones
A while back, I saw a story where some people are starting to place their deceased loved one’s cell phone in the coffin at burial time … with it on … waiting to take a call.
googles provided this article from 2008....
I quickly decided that this was creepy. I mean, can you imagine making that call to your dead loved-one’s phone, hearing it ringing, knowing it’s ringing beside their remains, six feet under.
I then thought about the messages you would leave like, if you had time to do a new voicemail message: “Hi, this is FKD. I can’t come to the phone right now cuz I’m dead. Leave a message if you want, but I’ll never call you back. After all, I’m dead….” Or, “Hi, you’ve reached the voicemail of FKD, the late, meaning, I’m gone, I’m dead. Why are you calling me? Didn’t you hear?” Or, “This is me, FKD, I’m dead, and if you only got one ring before getting to voicemail then that means the battery on this thing’s dead too … beep!”
