Random thoughts?

[gbb]

I often have these, sometimes mulling over impoderables, or sometimes creating a wierd scenario in my head and wondering....what if ?

Two of mine...
I was once stood at a window and outside on the frame is a spider wobbling around in the wind, held there by his Web,.
So....if you get a very loud klaxon and stuck it right next to him and gave it a good blast...would he go....eeeeeeeek

And this evening, sat in my canopy eating tea, I watched the dog looking at something with his back to me and it struck me (not that this is rocket science ) but we're (animals and reptiles) all fundamentally the same to a great degree. A pair of eyes connected to a brain, on a body with four limbs. Never three eyes or 6 limbs...we're all the same, humans, dogs, elephants, bears, crocodiles...you name it.
Perhaps that should be in mundane news I'm losing it .

That's because of that evolution thing that the Chas Hawkwind bloke invented, descended from common ancestors and all that.

My three immediate ones:

Saw a very distressing picture on Farcebook of an ape kept in a cage and used for 'experiments.' It looked extremely sad, pained and lonely and made me feel incredibly sad for all the animals on this planet that exist for our 'benefit.'

Wondering if I'm going to get along with our new boss at work.

Found out that an old cricket team mate and friend of mine is a top batting (cricket) coach in Australia and the IPL.

BTW, I lost it yonks ago. In fact, don't think I ever had it.

Snakes.

Snakes.

My vestigial limbs bring all the boys to the yard.

Snakes.

Yebbut....they have vestigal rear legs.

Anyway, snakes don't count, they can't, and never could have ridden a bike...no arms you see.

Anyway, snakes don't count,

They do - Adders for example.
