Yep, the fact it's at the crook of a branch is a dead giveaway. Somebody left a hose draped over that branch for a loooooong rear end time.

Way out in the middle of no where, deep in the Appalachian mountains, one of my friends showed me a bicycle that had been resting on a tree so long the tree grew up around it.

Also, old fences that used live trees instead of posts tend to grow around the fence over time, especially if it's a wire fence.

Now I kinda wanna make some kind of hilarious potato cannon and fire increasingly unlikely objects at poo poo to see how well they penetrate things. Gotta recreate that picture of a chunk of wheat straw that was driven through an oak tree.

They had something like this at a science museum I went to as a middle-schooler. They shot pencils through solid pieces of wood at like 150+ mph, with a clear acrylic tube so you could try to watch. It was pretty incredible to see something so light and small pierce right through a piece of 2x4.

Aviation folks - a question.

That third tow plane that was blown downwind - when the wind first hit it, it tilted and the tip of the wing hit/scraped on the ground. Would that plane have to be grounded and have an inspection done before it is allowed to fly again?

Almost certainly. If any lifting surface contacts the ground or an object it needs to be checked before it can fly in most places

I've got relatives that "installed" bottle openers in trees over the course of a decade, it's pretty slick.

Those things are also super loving dangerous and the one at six-flags (if it's even still here in illinois) has been moved around to multiple different places because it's removed a few feet and other body parts.

It's like when news got out that a priest was molesting kids so they'd just reassign the priest to a parish in another part of the country. Local folks seem to be upset but hey, can't let a priest/twister ride go to waste

This, since it didn't actually kill anyone it's probably cheaper to move the ride somewhere that they haven't foot-loosened already.
