So I had better fill some of it up, as per now, hadn't I?
First of all, some more of those 51 Bucket List Books -
Another nope |
And let us not forget -
I have heard of it |
I say, motley, that was a very short Intro. Shall we make up the balance by playing in the sandpit?
Meanwhile, Back At The Food Fakery File -
Remember those posts earlier this week that deal with 'food hacks' that don't work? Well, there's more of them here. The first suggestion is so silly that it might very well be a joke, except if they don't explicitly state so you can't be sure. Art?
"If you've run out of popcorn, why not just shove an ear of corn in the microwave" |
But wait - what's this? Turn ice cream into a form of icing by melting it and merely adding icing sugar?
Nope. Because IT WILL NOT WORK. As the food scientist below explains, there's simply no way to make this happen as there is not enough fat in ice cream
"But - but - how can people post lies like this!" I hear you expostulate*. Lady Food Scientist?
£££ the reason, it seems. These chancers post stuff that seems credible, in order to generate revenue thanks to curious people clicking on their sites.
But wait! There's still more! Apparently 'So Yummy' reckoned you could create a spun-sugar confection by pouring molten sugar onto the blades of a whirling electric whisk. Because molten sugar is pretty dangerous stuff, Chris Fox et al did this experiment behind a plastic screen. Below their unsuccessful attempt:
And below is what SY lied about creating.
Your Humble Scribe is not entirely surprised that people will lie for money, and wonders if there are other food hack debunking videos over on Youtube, in which case I will add details in here. Together we can smash the liars!
Can't Stop The K-Pop
Yes, more of those Asian funsters, this time with Girls Generation, an 8 piece ensemble, and I'm not sure if a Google search for them will be SFW or not. Let us see ...
Fairly SFW |
Anyway, after Conrad has pronounced his judgement, we move on to Yoon Do-Nyeon, who have no presence on Spotify, so that's all
Can't find any pictures of them, so have a look at a Backhoe Dredger. |
How To Blow Up The Eiffel Tower Without Even Trying
Not that Conrad is advocating doing any such thing, it just kind of grew out of a photo someone posted on the Space Opera Facebook page, which, if Art can put down his nuclear fuel rod and fork -
Thus |
Your Humble Scribe, being an idiot, had to chime in and derail things, asserting that the Eiffel Tower had been destroyed, but that Blackpool Tower hadn't, and that the French had bought it as an impromptu substitute.
Identical in every way. |
Chain Home to port. Giant mutant chimneys to starboard. |
Sooooooooo - maybe the Eiffel Tower survived anyway. For which we can be grateful, as otherwise there would be a lot of upset and angry French people around, and they'd probably blame Perfidious Albion, even if it was the Ruffians who were responsible.
Tsar Putin's handiwork, I bet***. |

** My musical snobbery is showing, isn't it?
*** This will probably really upset him, but BOOJUM! does not care.
