Merry Christmas to whoever may be looking in and reading this.

Nothing for the weekend

NobblySan — Sat, 12 Dec 2020 13:38:47 +0000

The first Something For The Weekend post appeared sometime in 2012 – posted by our (now long departed) friend Duncan, as a vehicle for readers to post music that they’d been listening to that week, or just simply liked.

Since Dunc’s disappearance, we’ve tried to keep it going; from my perspective based on some misguided notion that I’d somehow be letting down Duncan if we missed a week or let it lapse completely.

However, it’s clear from the lack of engagement, that it’s all a little pointless; and to be honest, something of a chore rather than a pleasure.

So, sorry Dunc, if you’re still around – or even still alive – I’ve had my fill of it, and am pulling the metaphorical plug on its life-support .

Quite how long before we do the same with the rest of the Mad Hatters remains to be seen, but it sure as hell aint what it used to be.

Something for those en-Tranced

Something for people who listen to cover versions

After reading our piece on the “BACK-UP SENSOR”

(I mean, you did read it, didn’t you ?)

Yes, yes, of course you did ! (?)

Well, since that time, you’ve probably been chaffing for some more of the same.

Fortunately, I have a knowledgeable friend who has emailed me the following

FACTS

A pig’s orgasm lasts 30 minutes. (Really !!!)

A Cockroach will live nine days without its head before it starves to death. Note : (Creepy. But I’m still not over the pig.)

The male Praying Mantis cannot copulate while its head is attached to its body. The female initiates sex by ripping the male’s head off. (What the…?)

The Flea can jump 350 times its body length. It’s like a human jumping the length of a football field. Note : (30 minutes. Lucky pig! Can you imagine?)

The Catfish has over 27,000 taste buds. (Ffs,What could be so tasty on the bottom of a pond?)

Some Lions mate over 50 times a day. Note : (I still can’t believe that pig …quality over quantity.)

Butterflies taste with their feet. (That’s something I always wanted to know )

Elephants are the only animals that cannot jump. (Okay, so that would be a good thing.)

A cat’s urine glows under a black light. (I wonder how much the government paid to figure that out.)

An Ostrich’s eye is bigger than its brain. (I know some people like that on MH.)

Starfish have no brains. (I also know some people like that on MH.)

Humans and Dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure.

Note : (What about that pig? Do the dolphins know about the pig?)

Back-up Sensor

Lots of the newer cars have a Back-Up Sensor that warns the driver before the rear bumper actually comes in contact with something.

Who invented the backup sensor?

I bet you think it was Ford, maybe GM, how about Chrysler, no, then how about Mercedes Benz? Or possibly the French or Italians.

No! It was a Chinese farmer!

Surprisingly it was not developed by modern automotive engineers using the latest technology. It was disclosed recently that the first to develop the Back-up-Sensor was a Chinese Farmer. His invention was simple and effective. It emits a high-pitch before the vehicle backs into something..

Here’s his first prototype…

(I got this in an email, so it must be true)

Yes! Fucking Yes!
