The frog even has a spokesman now

"The bird gained global fame Oct. 7, when right-wing influencer Benny Johnson posted video of U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stepping onto the ICE facility’s roof and staring down a handful of hecklers—and one chicken." www.wweek.com/culture/2025...

Powerful. For some reason I'm now playing "Can't touch this!" In my head.

No, it's not an ACME rocket. It's an early hand-crancked jetski.

Even the Space Program used to be more fun in the past. The Shapson Aquaplane, invented by S. Shapiro, being strapped onto Miss Margaret Travis. February 27, 1935, Santa Monica, California.

And with that, as always I wish you all a good morning, g'day, or good night, wherever you are on this round rock we all call home.
