I have watched this program for decades. Watched how people acted and observed human nature in those half hour captures of time. I think this the first time that I have seen an example of what a good person should do and then to my amazement DID IT!! This beats seeing someone win the million prize (to me anyways). Thank you for posting this one, Valkyrie. sandrewn

Jiffy (time) History & Usage A. jiffy in Technology 1. The duration of one tick of the computer's system clock. Often one AC cycle time (1/60 second in the US and Canada, 1/50 most other places), but more recently 1/100 sec has become common. 2. Confusingly, the term is sometimes also used for a 1-millisecond wall time interval. Even more confusingly, physicists semi-jokingly use "jiffy" to mean the time required for light to travel one foot in a vacuum, which turns out to be close to one *nanosecond*. B. Noun blink of an eye - a very short time (as the time it takes the eye to blink or the heart to beat); "if I had the chance I'd do it in a flash" instant, jiffy, New York minute, split second, trice, twinkling, wink, heartbeat, flash mo, moment, second, minute, bit - an indefinitely short time; "wait just a moment"; "in a mo"; "it only takes a minute"; "in just a bit" Based on WordNet 3.0, Farlex clipart collection. © 2003-2012 Princeton University, Farlex Inc.

The following video was recently awarded the 1st prize for the 2016 Best Illusion of the year. Motion Integration Unleashed Optical Illusion Video 26 August 2016 0 Comments The following video was recently awarded 1st prize for the 2016 Best Illusion of the Year Contest This video was created by Mathew T. Harrison and Gideon P. Caplovitz from the University of Nevada Reno, USA. They call the individual flickering dots “Gabors” and describe the effect as follows: What do you think? Do you think that this illusion was worthy of a Best Illusion of the Year award? Here we show that configurations of drifting Gabors that are stationary can give rise to dramatic global motion percepts: a rotating square, oscillating chopsticks and rolling waves. Although the Gabors themselves are not changing position, the drifting motion within them causes the illusion that the entire configuration is moving! What do you think? Do you think that this illusion was worthy of a Best Illusion of the Year award? sandrewn (no, not really)

As some of you may know, quokka has left GA for health reasons. He took his stories down, but in his blog he still has a recipe. He called it 'Baby Quokkas (Choc Coated Marshmallows)'. Just in case his entire file is wiped I wanted to post it here. If ever you make it (and it does sound yummy) think of him, wish him well and hope that he returns to us some day. Baby Quokkas (Choc Coated Marshmellows) 200 grams of cooking chocolate 1 Packets of Marshmellows 12 Toothpicks Wax Paper (Greaseproof Paper) Packet of Almond Flakes 15ml Bottle of Whisky or Brandy 1/4 fill saucepan with water and bring to a slow simmer. In a metal mixing bowl, place the broken up pieces of choc into the bowl. Place the bowl on top of the saucepan to allow the choc to melt, stir occasionally. Meanwhile place wax paper on a flat baking tray. Skewer 6 marshmellow pieces with toothpicks & place in a shallow bowl with Brandy or Whisky Place 6 more marshmellows on bench and gently place a small slot in each one. Place a Almond slice in each of the marshmellows, then skewer those with toothpicks. Once the chocholate is fully melted, remove from the heat and dip each of the marshmellows into the chocholate. Use a teaspoon to spoon the chocholate over the marshmellows to get even coverage. Place the choc coated marshmellows onto the tray of grease proof paper and place into the freezer until set. Sit back and enjoy. Bon Appetite ! Thank you quokka sandrewn

As usual I never know what the reaction my Do You Know questions will be. This Antarctica one seems to have caused a bit of a stir.

At first I was going to put this post in the Make Us Laugh section. But once I saw them all, some where down right disturbing and left to many questions. Here they are, you figure them out if you can. 31 of the Most Unexplainable Photos on the Internet or (WTF) I did not even try to think of a caption for this one, religious maybe? http://blazepress.com/2014/04/31-unexplainable-photos-internet/ sandrewn I liked most of them, but some I just don't know what to say?

That artists often specialize in the subject matter they choose is well known. I am pretty certain that Jess Shepherd is not the first to paint over sized leaves. However hers' are the first I have ever seen and I think that they are fantastic. It is as is if I had the leaf in my hand and was using a magnifying glass to see all the minute details close up. Simply brilliant! " For the last two years, I have been painting leaves that tell a story." http://www.boredpanda.com/leafscape-a-collection-of-botanical-paintings-by-inky-leaves/ sandrewn

Why we say "Bless You" when someone sneezes Many people have become accustomed to saying "bless you" or "gesundheit" when someone sneezes. No one says anything when someone coughs, blows their nose or burps, so why do sneezes get special treatment? What do those phrases actually mean, anyway? Wishing someone well after they sneeze probably originated thousands of years ago. The Romans would say "Jupiter preserve you" or "Salve," which meant "good health to you," and the Greeks would wish each other "long life." The phrase "God bless you" is attributed to Pope Gregory the Great, who uttered it in the sixth century during a bubonic plague epidemic (sneezing is an obvious symptom of one form of the plague). sandrewn
