Snake skin printed pajamas


The woman wearing these snake skin printed pajamas was sleeping with her foot outside of the blanket and her husband thought it was snake. He ended up breaking her foot with a baseball bat.

Sphinx or penis ?


An interesting rock that looks like a Sphinx ... or something else  :-)

- Location:  Ben Bullen State Forest, NSW, Australia
                    2.25 km north-north-west of Baal Bone Gap
                    Exactly halfway between Mercurys Boot and Baal Bone Point.
  If you walk along the ridge from Baal Bone Gap to Baal Bone Point, you won't miss it.

- Map:  Ben Bullen
- Grid Reference:  280 205
- Date:  2020-09-05 and 2020-10-15  Photographed during bushwalks

( A detailed trip report of the 2020-09-05 bushwalk is in this link:
http://mntviews.blogspot.com/2020/09/mercurys-boot-ben-bullen-to-baal-bone.html
In particular, the 2 pictures below are photos #32 and #33 of the link. )
After the trip, I registered the rock in BushExplorers Encyclopaedia as "Baal Sphinx Rock"
because it looks like a Sphinx.
( Refer to this link:
https://www.bushexplorers.com.au/encyclopaedia/baal-sphinx-rock )


It could be worse.
I could have submitted the picture below and registered a different name  :-)
Looks like a human body part  :-)

Submarine rock


Two Submarine-like rocks:

1)  A rainbow-coloured rock
     Location: Coast Track in Royal National Park, NSW, Australia
     Date: 2020-05-10

More pictures of the Coast Track are in this link:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1x4gQ45uvVZ4pHkaREgHlSCZK1EywEZbS/view?usp=sharing


2)  A pagoda-like rock
     Location: Ben Bullen State Forest, NSW, Australia
     Date: 2020-09-05 and 2020-10-15
     This rock can be climbed, but not so easy due to the gap (red oval) circling its entire base.

The
2020-09-05 detailed trip report is in this link:
http://mntviews.blogspot.com/2020/09/mercurys-boot-ben-bullen-to-baal-bone.html

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ddJIJj_Rrhlk0AkqYOmfBvgHpL9pFyx0/view?usp=sharing

An appropriate name for it would be "Baal Submarine Pagoda".
One day, I would like to register this name with BushExplorers Encyclopaedia.

Sit and Shit


Dog confuses Sit and Shit from masked voice  :-)

(During COVID-19 pandemic, wearing of a mask is either recommended or compulsory in many countries.)

Sit !!   ...   Damn mask.

Background:

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), also known as 2019-nCoV acute respiratory disease (2019-nCoV ARD), is a viral respiratory disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It is the disease implicated in the 2019-2020 coronavirus pandemic.

The disease was first identified in the city of Wuhan, capital of Hubei province in China, among patients who had developed pneumonia of no clear cause. Amid rapid spread of the disease, the World Health Organization has since declared the outbreak to be a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). Infections have been reported throughout the world, mostly of travelers originating from Mainland China, with local transmission also reported in many countries.


Non-COVID-19 version:

Lost cities in Australia - 2


All photographs here are by Rob Herbert in 2020 July 4, in a hiking trip to Mt Towinhingy in Wollemi National Park, NSW, Australia.

The pagoda-like rock formations around the mountain are like lost cities of an old decaying civilisation swallowed by the wilderness.


1)  The large mountain is Mt Towinhingy.
- The pagodas around its base are like lost cities  :-)



2)  Around Mt Towinhingy



3)  Around Mt Towinhingy

Why you should wear face masks


Why you should wear face masks.  Let me try and make it simple for you ...

The Urine Test

1)  If we all run around naked and someone pees on you, you get wet right away.

2)  If you are wearing pants, some pee will get through - but not as much, so you are better protected.

3)  If the guy who pees is also wearing pants, the pee stays with him and you do not get wet.



Background:

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), also known as 2019-nCoV acute respiratory disease (2019-nCoV ARD), is a viral respiratory disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It is the disease implicated in the 2019-2020 coronavirus pandemic.

If Donald Trump had captained the Titanic


If Donald Trump had captained the Titanic ...

- There is no iceberg.
- We won't hit an iceberg.
- I knew it was an iceberg before anyone else knew.
- No one knows icebergs better than I do.
- The penguins brought the iceberg here.
- No one could have predicted the iceberg.
- We cannot allow an iceberg to stop our ship.
- The crew is spreading fake news about icebergs.
- Some of you have to drown.
- I am the best captain, ask anyone.

Captain Smith of the Titanic went down with the ship. Captain Donald Trump would have been on the very first life boat, and won't be sharing it with others.

But before then, Donald Trump would tell everyone there are just a few liters of seawater in the lower decks; once it get's warmer they'll dry out and everything will be fine.


Background: Donald Trump is regarded by all as the worst president of the United States !

The above joke is a reference to his handling of the Coronavirus / COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 ...
You can substituted "iceberg" in the joke with "Coronavirus".

People said they would rather die instead of voting for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 US presidential election. Well, they reaped what they sowed ... they are dying now from
Coronavirus, all because they voted for Donald Trump  :-)

Is the tessellated pattern on the trunk due to bushfires ?

Mammatus clouds


Mammatus clouds are pouch-like protrusions hanging from the undersides of clouds, usually thunderstorm anvil clouds, but other types of clouds as well.

Composed primarily of ice, these cloud pouches are visible in the sky for only about 10 to 15 minutes.

Aside from their magnificent beauty, mammatus clouds are interesting in part because they are formed by sinking air; whereas most clouds are formed by rising air.

You can use Google to search for beautiful images of mammatus clouds. But I had the good fortune to witness one while going to a hiking trip in Glenbrook Gorge in Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia.

It was my first time to see such clouds !
I was driving at the time. I saw the clouds but didn’t have a chance to stop the car.

But 老炊 had the opportunity to snap this picture over Glenbrook Railway Station.

Ducking out of a fart
