The mystery flower look very much like a
lamprey to me.

ot only is it a Lamprey, but I can tell you that photo came from the accompanying book to the David Attenborough documentary "Life on Earth".

Beaten to it! That 'mystery flower' is certainly a jawless fish. As the previous posters said, it is likely a lamprey.

As stated by the others, that 'mystery flower' is not a flower at all. It is most definitely a lamprey.

For all the Kubrick (and IPhone) buffs out there:
A new spoof video making use of 2001: A Space Odyssey recently came out, and there's a mild amount of interest in the site itself:
myiphonerevolution.com.
The video spoof itself is fun, but it would appear that there's an even more compelling reason to chec k the site out...
The guys who made the site are now calling for a contest for people to make their own viral videos!
I can't wait to see what people can come up with.

The blue crocodile warning sign is from the Australia Zoo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia_Zoo), of Steve Irwin fame, near Beerwah, Queensland. I have a very similar shot myself. R.I.P. Steve.

About the "Man at Work" poster in Bratislava: in the centre of the Bratislava there are several bronze statues which are placed where people would normally be doing stuff that people normally do: one of them is standing in the corner of two streets, one of them is sitting at an actual park bench reading a paper, etc. The picture in the sign depicts one of those statues, a worker peeping out of a real man hole in the street, so the sign is obviously meant to be humourous.

"F/A-18F Super Hornet completes a super-sonic flyby:"
To me it seems to be the F-14?
At least definately no Super-Hornet.

Hello.
First of all, your blog is very good.
It´s not a F-18 super hornet. It´s a F-14 (wacth the rest of the photos, the diference is noticeable), and there is an aditional reason for the vapor contrail: at certain altitude there are air zones of very low temperature (-X ºC), so the condensation is another reason.

Actually the disk shape and most of the other photos; these weird clouds occur when the aircraft is moving at transonic speed- these are from about Mach 0.8 to Mach 1.2, and I suspect that none of these aircraft are actually going faster than mach 1.0 in fact for practical reasons. (The shapes are caused where the *air* is *temporarily* forced to speed up past the aircraft to supersonic speeds, but since the aircraft is moving below the speed of sound, no sonic boom reaches the ground.)
Also the bit about the throttle is a bit misleading, it's the speed of the aircraft that determines where the disk forms (of course the pilot adjusts that using the throttle, but there's a lag since it takes time to accelerate...)
Hope this helps.

Contrails have nothing to do with vortices from the wing tips. They are formed from the water vapor in the engine exhaust. If it were from the wingtips, all planes would produce the same number of contrails. Coincidentally, it is always the same as the number of engines.

SST-PR-1 was on my NETWORK, I had a some type of super JET in my area. We will have lots of clouds in our are, looking like rain any second. Then comes these jets and the clouds dry up and NO RAIN. Perhaps our government is looking for a way to control the atmosphere.

SST-PR-1 was on my NETWORK, at the same time I noticed some type of super jet in my area. It looked as if it was about to rain, then these jets came by and it seemed like all the clouds disappeared. Could our airforce be training to control our weather?

PS. I live in Augusta Georgia next to the airport where this seems to be happening all the time. Looks like we are going to have a down pour then "JETS" and nothing, could they be seeding and unseeding the clouds.

There are other types of contrails besides those from the engine exhaust. I've seen and taken pictures of propeller driven aircraft with contrails forming off the prop tips and wrapping themselves around the fuselage and nacelles of the aircraft for five or six spirals from the front of the aircraft/nacelle. This is usually in high ambient temperature/high humidity conditions. I've also seen a number of pictures of contrails forming off the wingtips of aircraft pulling g's, also in high temp/humid conditions. Just wanted to share.

In reply to the people thinking the fly-by is an f-14. It is in fact an F/A-18. The very distinct detail of the wings is clearly a super hornet. The wings in the photo are inable of sweeping as the f-14 can. Look at the wing shape.

Hmm, I guess it's true that some guys have unrealistic expectations from a relationship. Your SO is supposed to be physically attractive, accept your interests, suppress her emotions, and play second fiddle to your TV. Meanwhile, you get to be a fatass who just doesn't give a shit about her hobbies, self esteem or thoughts. Puh-leeze. These lists aren't funny, and anyone who thinks they are is just sending out a strong signal to the world about how self-centered they are.
Here's a protip, in case you didn't pick up on it. If you don't want to have to read her mind, don't bitch when she expresses her emotions. I'm surprised you feel you need space- most women I know have enough respect that they wouldn't touch someone like you with a ten-foot-pole.

I know its supposed to be something funny but in actuality its pretty much true & that's not funny, its disturbing, its not right, its... many things, too many to say.
Men are from Mars, Woman are from Venus, if women were like men then the world would be full of pigs (dogs, scum, a-holes... whatever you want to call them)
Why is it, if women acted as men do they would be considered whores? How come men don't know its wrong to lie when they cheat? Or just because their not actually caught in the act, they think they haven't done anything wrong? Why do men lie about what they do? If you know its wrong then don't do it. If you know you f..ked up, then be a real man & admit to it.
Have you ever thought if you actually treated someone with respect then maybe you would get it right back? If you have & you still don't get it then that person isn't worth it or the real attraction isn't there, your just settling for something.
Attraction is one thing, but to be attracted & fall in love... True love is hard to find but you can't LOOK for it, I believe in time & at the right time it will COME to you.
In the mean time don't expect a miracle, just remember, to keep what you have, realize they are who they are, that's why you are w/ them. If you expected something else then you shouldn't be with them. All men lie. They have their reasons. All women bitch, we have our reasons, too. Men are the #1 reason.

It's things like this that make me miss the Soviet Union and the Cold War. America's old enemies always had cooler weapons than us (except for Japan; they were a smidgen outclassed during WWII).
Germany had ballistic missiles, fighter jets and freeways by 1943
The U.S.S.R. had... well, a massive set of balls- and a 100-megaton nuclear bomb (tested at 50-megatons)

There's something to be said for traveling by mule, you know.
The first set is of the The Lions Back, Moab, UT.
Here's some videos
going down...way too fast
going down... view from in car
climbing
Oh, HELL no!
I've run some 4wd roads in the mountains of Colorado, and while the uphills might have been tough at 13 and 14 thousand feet elevations, let's just say I was really glad I wasn't driving. Scary stuff!!
See if you can find a pic for the Paikakareke road on the North Island of New Zealand.
FWIW, the bushducks.com one is not very wild at all. The camera is tilted and the horizon is at a 30 degree angle; look at the trees in the background or the rear end of the vehicle, which, if the camera is level, is suspended in an impossible manner.
I only see bad people spoiling the nature in these pictures
I'm pretty sure Rollins Pass is inaccessible by car due to huge concrete barrier @ the Needle Eye tunnel
