Giant Toad Attacks Barrio San Francisco


It was a Saturday. We had taken the wrong bus and were trying to find our way to where we were going. Then we spotted it. A giant blue eyed toad preparing to attack the barrio(neighborhood in Spanish) he was huge for a toad weighed about a pound or more and was over a foot long, (see 20oz Hunts Ketchup bottle next to him or her for scale.)

Fortunately for the denizens of Barrio San Francisco "el sapo" was discouraged by our harassment of him and he headed off into the grass to find some bugs.

Killer Dies 41 Years After Getting Away With Crime

Anti-American, pro terrorist communist sympathizer and killer Ted Kennedy died today of brain cancer. Never elected President due to being a lying hack with too many skelotons in the closet and on the floor and under the bridge. He will not be missed here.

Damn shame Mary Jo Kopechne never had the chance to retire from teaching grow old and die of brain cancer surrounded by her family. She would be 69 if Ted hadn't killed her.

Another special place in hell turns on its "No Vacancy" sign.

My how big the Universe is...

The universe is a big place. So big our slightly advanced ape brains cannot really conceive. Below are the specs for a scale model of our solar system where our sun is 12ft in diameter.

Mercury would be about 0.50 inches in diameter and orbit at an average distance of 499ft from the sun.

Venus would be about 1.25 inches in diameter and orbit at average distance of 932ft from the sun.

Earth would be about 1.32 inches in diameter and orbit at average distance of 1289.5ft from the sun.

Mars would be about 0.70 inches in diameter and orbit at average distance of 1964ft from the sun.

Jupiter would be about 14.43 inches in diameter and orbit at average distance of 6708ft from the sun.

Saturn would be about 12.05 inches in diameter and orbit at average distance of 12302ft from the sun.

Uranus
would be about 4.86 inches in diameter and orbit at average distance of 24745.75ft from the sun.

Neptune would be about 4.70 inches in diameter and orbit at average distance of 38795ft from the sun.

Pluto would be about 0.24 inches in diameter and orbit at average distance of 50977ft from the sun.

A light year would be 15447.3miles

To Alpha Centauri 65960.1 miles

To Sirius 133465 miles

To Deneb 21657120 miles

To Galactic Center 428046359.1 miles

Size of some other stars

Hottest star 108ft dia
(Type 05)

Coolest star 23.04in dia
(Type M5)

Red giant 4500ft dia
(Betelgeuse)

White dwarf 1.44in dia
(Sirius B)

Neutron star 0.002069in dia

And your average human being would be 0.000000001351 inches tall

Yeah we are definitely causing all that climate change in the solar system.

Those Got-Dammed Idiots in DC (on both sides of the aisle)

Jesus H. Christ on a Popsicle stick!!

People need to quit expecting the government to take care of them from cradle to grave. don't have health insurance? Get it. Job doesn't offer it? Buy your own plan or get another job that does offer it. Can't pay your mortgage? Move into a place you can afford. Can't pay your credit cards? File bankruptcy. Maybe you shouldn't have charged em up in the first place.

I for one am damned tired of my taxes going to bail out people for their stupid mistakes. I am also damned tired of my taxes being used to prop up failing companies. Let em go broke. If half of the banks and GM and Dodge went under, other companies, other people seeing opportunity would step in take up the slack and go forward. To sum it up. (too late) The Government needs to quit subsidizing failure. I don't care which side of the aisle they are on, vote to subsidize failure and I wont vote for you for dog catcher.

Goodness sakes the USA is the most prosperous country on the face of the earth. Quit sitting around bitching and whining about the fact that the rich people don't pay enough taxes to give you what you want for free. Get your ass off the couch and work hard. Hell in America a half idiot spend thrift can disguise himself as a conservative and be President. Even a Jew hating, pro terrorist Naval Academy grad can get in for one term.

Just take all the time that you spend whining and bitching about not having what you want and do something about your situation. Get a better job. Network to see what is out there. Take on a part time job. Start a home business. Bake a mean apple pie? Bake five and go to the local bus station and sell em. Make sure to put your phone number and email address on a card and include it. Maybe next time you will have to bake ten.

Stop hating people for being rich and successful and envy them instead. Learn from them. Read about them, talk to the owner of your company, or the guy down the street that owns his own business. Try to build your wealth instead of insisting that the government take someone's and give it to you.
