The direction of the arms doesn't matter, actually, and it's not just "Hindu or Hitler". The use of the swastika in art and religion predates written history, and has been used in more cultures than just Nazis and India.

There's a simple test to see if it's being used as a Nazi symbol:
Does it match any recorded Nazi uses of the symbol?
Is it being used in a context that indicates a connection to Nazi ideology?

If the answer to both of those is "no", then it's not a Nazi swastika. Easy peasy!

All that said, I still wouldn't want one on me because I have no cultural ties to it that justify its use otherwise.

Yes! Said Sir Toppum Hat. For the love of God!


My kid watched that show. The train didn't want to work because it had just been painted, so Sir Toppum Hat just bricked him into the tunnel. End of story, no "I've learned my lesson" or anything. Apparently the moral of the story was don't gently caress with Sir Toppum Hat. It was really hosed up.

Not sure I get it. Was the other woman decapitated?

quote:

On June 29 at approximately 2:25am, on U.S. Highway 90, east of the Rigolets Bridge, the car crashed into the rear of a tractor-trailer that had slowed behind another truck that was spraying mosquito fogger. The car struck the rear of the trailer and went under it. The three adults in the front seat were killed instantly; the children, in the rear, survived with minor injuries.[314]

Reports that Mansfield was decapitated are untrue, although she suffered severe head trauma.[315] The urban legend was spawned by the appearance in police photographs of a crashed car with its top virtually sheared off, and what resembled a blonde-haired head tangled in the car's smashed windshield. However, this was probably either a wig Mansfield was wearing or her actual hair and scalp.[316] The death certificate stated that the immediate cause of Mansfield's death was a "crushed skull with avulsion of cranium and brain".[317] After her death, the NHTSA recommended requiring an underride guard (a strong bar made of steel tubing) on all tractor-trailers, although the trucking industry was slow to adopt this change. This bar is known as a "Mansfield bar", or an "ICC bar".[318][319]

it's not scripted, but they cut half of the footage away, so tv/youtube watchers get to see a funnier show than the audience.

I had to do this for a lifeguard test. The idea was to jump in the pool with your clothes on and use your clothing to float for an hour. Worked pretty good. It's definitely way better than treading water for an hour. I'm not sure how well it would work in rough waters. Jeans hold air pretty well and the few wearing jogging pants did not have a good time. They just balloon and you can't see a thing while just barely floating.

A student was giving a presentation in our geology class and he had just been on a canoe trip on northern Minnesota. He showed off a picture he took out on the lake. You could see through the clear water down to a boulder with a sizeable gold vein below. I asked him why he didn't attempt to get that Rock out. At 1000+ an ounce it was worth the trouble. He didn't really have an answer.

The hell?

He intentionally used a copyrighted song to get the audio blocked because it would be funny to people who know what 4:33 is and now the joke can't be done because youtube changed their policy on some copyrights.

E: You know that 4:33 is complete silence, right?

quote:

LONDON, England -- A bizarre legal battle over a minute's silence in a recorded song has ended with a six-figure out-of-court settlement.

British composer Mike Batt found himself the subject of a plagiarism action for including the song, "A One Minute Silence," on an album for his classical rock band The Planets. He was accused of copying it from a work by the late American composer John Cage, whose 1952 composition "4'33"" was totally silent.

On Monday, Batt settled the matter out of court by paying an undisclosed six-figure sum to the John Cage Trust. Batt, who is best known in the UK for his links with the children's television characters The Wombles, told the Press Association: "This has been, albeit a gentlemanly dispute, a most serious matter and I am pleased that Cage's publishers have finally been persuaded that their case was, to say the least, optimistic. "We are, however, making this gesture of a payment to the John Cage Trust in recognition of my own personal respect for John Cage and in recognition of his brave and sometimes outrageous approach to artistic experimentation in music."

Batt credited "A One Minute Silence" to "Batt/Cage." Before the start of the court case, Batt had said: "Has the world gone mad? I'm prepared to do time rather than pay out. We are talking as much as £100,000 in copyright."Mine is a much better silent piece. I have been able to say in one minute what Cage could only say in four minutes and 33 seconds."

Batt gave a cheque to Nicholas Riddle, managing director of Cage's publishers Peters Edition, on the steps of the High Court, in London.

Riddle said: "We feel that honour has been settled "We had been prepared to make our point more strongly on behalf of Mr Cage's estate, because we do feel that the concept of a silent piece -- particularly as it was credited by Mr Batt as being co-written by "Cage" -- is a valuable artistic concept in which there is a copyright.

"We are nevertheless very pleased to have reached agreement with Mr Batt over this dispute, and we accept his donation in good spirit."

"A One Minute Silence" has now been released as part of a double A-side single

quote:

" But let's get this straight: John's silence was inferior to mine. My silence was digital and his was analogue. Also, mine was not played by an eight-piece band and his was not played by a solo clarinet."

There was a recent one, where a classical cellist had a dating profile. She also happened to be like 4'10" and asian, so she attracted a very specific TYPE of internet creep. I'll see if I can find the blog.

I was wrong, she's 4'9" and a violinist.

She added: "All we can say is that the picture is clearly not a selfie as everyone has been describing it. You can clearly see that it is not Ben who is taking the picture. He's in it but he's not taking it.

But we don't want to speak about anything until he's back home."
