Love, Romance & Joys of Parenting


"QUANTUM SHOT" #361
link



From Roses to Diapers

In our fine tradition of the family & romance-related picture line-ups (see for example here) - this bunch of crazy kid photos and unreal courting situations can either clear the heads of overly enthusiastic lovers, or on the contrary, make them fall for each other with even hotter abandon. When the romance strikes you gotta do what you gotta do - strike back with the vengeance!

Love is in the air, and just about everywhere else -








(original unknown)








Well, and in case of a love triangle... send the unwanted party to the future - in a cool cylinder:




Enthusiastic Weddings:






















Careful!






(photos by John Orr)


otherwise you can get really confused:







Disfunctional families are are anything but boring:

Some frustrated dads even make sculptures:

Cuter than a button, and way more sophisticated


































Keep an eye on them at the mall:




Don't let them learn the real truth about origin of ice cream:



Ice cream can be dangerous:




Kiddies & doggies:












Mischief is my middle name































Blessed innocence:

























Children writing about the sea:

1) - This is a picture of an octopus. It has eight testicles.(Kelly age 6)

2) - Oysters' balls are called pearls. (James age 6)

3) - If you are surrounded by sea you are an Island. If you don't have sea all round you, you are incontinent. (Wayne age 7)

4) - Sharks are ugly and mean, and have big teeth, just like Emily Richardson. She's not my friend no more. (Kylie age 6)

5) - A dolphin breaths through an asshole on the top of its head. (Billy age 8)

6) - My uncle goes out in his boat with pots, and comes back with crabs.(Millie age 6)

7) - When ships had sails, they used to use the trade winds to cross the ocean. Sometimes, when the wind didn't blow, the sailors would whistle to make the wind come. My brother said they have been better off eating beans.(William age 7)

8) - I like mermaids. They are beautiful, and I like their shiny tails. And how on earth do mermaids get pregnant? Like, really? (Helen age 6)

9) - I'm not going to write about the sea. My baby brother is always screaming and being sick, my Dad keeps shouting at my Mom, and my big sister has just got pregnant, so I can't think what to write. (Amy age 6)

10) - Some fish are dangerous. Jellyfish can sting. Electric eels can give you a shock. They have to live in caves under the sea where I think they have to plug themselves into chargers. (Christopher age 7)

11) - When you go swimming in the sea, it is very cold, and it makes my willy small. (Kevin age 6)

12) - Divers have to be safe when they go under the water. Two divers can't
go down alone, so they have to go down on each other. (Becky age 8)

13) - On holidays my Mom went water skiing. She fell off when she was going very fast. She says she won't do it again because water fired right up her fat ass. (Julie age 7)

"the disfunctional family" looks a bit like an idealized ending for "Shaun of the dead" : happy couple + zombie daughter :)

The photo of the girl in the Crocodiles mouth is from Australia Zoo, on the Sunshine Coast of Australia. The Croc is fake and is put there for photos.

  • I laughed hard on the mystery sign interpretations. I'd like to see more of those (explanations I mean).
    Read more

  • Just to nitpick, many of those are Armored Personnel Carriers (BMP-1s and BMP-2s, looks like), rather than tanks.

    The lack of an Extremely Large Turreted Gun is the giveaway there.

    (Things with an Extremely Large Non-Turreted Gun are mobile artillery, not tanks either.)
    Read more

  • A man in Texas I knew lost a D9 Cat (very similar to a tank but no gun) in a Gulf Coast salt marsh. The only thing that was left was bubbles and the operator swam for his life. The company wrote the thing off 'cause there was nothing that could go and retrieve it.
    Read more

  • Flipped over tanks look so sad.. and adorable! Kinda like ED-209 in Robocop, when he trips on the stairs. Poor ED-209!

  • On the Dubai Ski Resort, the same company that built it are supposedly set to build another here in North Texas. The "Bearfire Ski Resort" will have an astroturf-type surface in place of real snow. According to a news report about it a while back on CNN, it's the same surface they used on this Dubai resort. I'm sure you can find the report on YouTube.

  • My wife and I went to Bolivia to see the salt flats based on a previous posting on DRB. It was truly amazing. It was really fun to play around in the train graveyard. The currently running train passes right by the old abandoned trains, hence the still used tracks. If you want to see more picture of the salt flats or the trains, I have a few (although not as good as these) up at http://www.flickr.com/photos/mooreta79/

  • The Asian Fashion Show took place in Le Grand Palais in Paris.

    It's strange!

  • The "Asian Fashion Show" is mislabeled. It's the Chanel Spring 2008 show from Paris.

  • Are you sure "The Glider" is an Ekranoplane? It looks more like a hydrofoil, as it doesn't appear to have any engines above the water and the legs are definitely going into the water.

  • (New) first pic is remarkably similar to modern "semi-submerged platform" ideas, though no current proposal I've heard of includes ice breaking.

  • Larger helicopters have been seriously proposed, though usually not as passenger transports. The Hiller Museum in San Carlos CA (south of SFO) has documents and a film from a (semi) serious proposal from Hiller to recover Saturn V booster stages in midair, using an enormous helicopter. I no longer recall the helicopter specs, but it was something like a 200 foot rotor turning at 10 RPM, with full-sized turbojet engines at the rotor tips.

  • Hi, The Bohn ship is very similar, probably a copy, from the Bel Geddes ocean liner project model (can be seen for exemple at http://davidszondy.com/future/Living/Bel%20Geddes%20Liner.jpg). Bel Geddes was among the first industrial designers, like Raymond Loewy, but mainly created dream products rather than actual products. But fantactic dream products !

  • is it just me, or is the sphere-wheeled motorcycle oddly reminiscent of batman's new motorcycle? without the glassed-in cab, of course.

  • All this great concept art undoubtedly influenced movies and real architecture from 'Logan's Run' to the 'Batman' series and the Nationsbank tower in Atlanta. It makes one wonder how far off are our current conceptual projections of the future! Loads of fun!
