About 20 years ago I first saw this, allegedly an old photo from 1890 from the city I grew up in, Ventura CA. The source was allegedly from the AZ desert (I'm guessing that is maybe 200 miles away). I always found this fascinating. There are some stories about this kind of thing found in mining efforts in diff parts of the world. But, it could be a fake. Who knows.

It is fake.  Sorry.  It was an item in a documentary about a year ago.

[redcairo]

Thanks. :-)

 

Hopefully this one is real. :-)  The "spanish dancer" jellyfish:

Holidays are days for making more profit.

I'm going to pretend you didn't say that.

 

(But what you said is similar to the warning to not take a knife to a gun fight.)

True that.  But if I allowed a potential opponent to get that close to me I would have made a serious mistake.

 

(Some of my knives are four feet long.)

April the giraffe gives birth. This video is rather long and worth watching the birth process.
