    The strange case of the Statue of Liberty going dark

    Some of the lights that normally illuminate the statue went off before 11 p.m., leaving only her still-lit torch and crown visible to most in New York Harbor.

    As one Twitter post opined, the timing was “just too perfect.” Definitely, tweeted another, “an ominous sign of the times.”

    The near-blackout of the universal symbol of freedom was invested with great meaning on the Internet, with a consensus settling, more or less, on two interpretations.

    THE TURKEY DEATH MARCH

    This video of turkeys performing ‘death dance’ around a dead cat in Massachusetts. The video looks odd, strange. It’s gone viral .. The NET has been abuzz about it.

    But it may not be as sinister as people think..

    Turkeys are not as dumb as you think.. If they see what they believe is a danger to them. They will keep watching it to make sure it’s not going to attack. They don’t realize this cat is dead.. 

    Before I researched a bit as to why the turkeys were doing this, I also pondered if they were holding some sort of funeral for the dead cat.. Elephants do it. And there are other examples of death marches in the animal kingdom.

    But this one? Well.. we at least have experts who opine that it was only to see if there was a threat .. just a normal flow and function of the animal world living in our materialistic and self-absorbed society..

  • A Google Streetcar named desire

    A Google Streetcar named desire

    This is an oddity from the UK: A Google Street View with a View! And a bizarre coincidence …  

    The synopsis of events as written by Richard Harley-Parkinson:

    A woman who was waiting for a lift sent directions to her friend who then spotted her in the same spot on Google Street View.

    Michele Noad, 52, told pal Rick Hodge she would be standing on the corner outside Somerset County Council in Taunton where she works.

    But when he tapped the location into Google Maps to plan his journey Rick, 54, was shown a photo of his destination – featuring Michele standing on the same corner.

    He arrived at the location to find consultant Michele standing in the very same spot she had been photographed by Google five months earlier.

  • Now the Simpsons predicted Lady Gaga halftime show!?

    Now the Simpsons predicted Lady Gaga halftime show!?

    …let’s get this straight.. The SIMPSONS predicted that Donald Trump would be president of the United States more than 15 years ago.. it predicted, some would say, the ‘pizza gate’ scandal that briefly emerged late 2016 and into January of this year..

    And now, fresh off of a successful halftime show for Lady Gaga, sleuths have gone back to 2012 and found an episode that seemingly predicted the EXACT SAME ACT that Gaga performed at the Super Bowl this past Sunday! The show was titled Lisa Goes Gaga..

    No joke.. watch it yourself:

    [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yn3SXAzZYRc]

    Seriously… seriously.. seriously..

    The chills are within me.. the hair on my arm is rising..

    In “Lisa Goes Gaga,” the entire town of Springfield is in an emotional funk — particularly young Lisa..

    It just so happens, though, that Lady Gaga is traveling town to town to build tolerance and tear down those cultural walls that divide us.  She uplifts the town.

    During this year’s Super Bowl, several commentators predicted (*and many of us feared*) that Lady Gaga would go political.. She didn’t do anything overt.. There may have been some veiled references to unification during the Trump Administration, but the show was fun and raucous, and detractors to be had a tough time finding much to criticize..

    Just like the show, perhaps, predicted.

    Are we reading too much into this??

    ….how many more Simpsons shows will, in this timeline, actually happen. Perhaps the producers and writers, through some reverse Mandela Effect, know the fate of this planet.
    And Lisa, the woman president after Trump, has to take us from the abyss and bring about hope again…

    Strange times we live in.

    ‘Anonymouse’ opens miniature restaurant for rodents in Sweden:

    Looks like a quaint little place..

    An art group named ‘Anonymouse’ has opened a new chain of miniature restaurants designed to specifically cater for mice in Sweden.
    The quaint 70cm x 30cm (about 25×12 inch) stores, located in the Swedish city of Malmo, offer everything a modern-day mouse would need, including a wide selection of nuts and cheeses, to notices about upcoming mouse events.

    Trump demands apology from ‘Hamilton’ after cast’s message to Pence:

    image

    The next four years are going to continue like this. So as long as Donald Trump has a Twitter account, he is going to use it like the millions of others who do: Nonstop barrages of commentary on mundane events.

    The President-Elect is normally busy building a team of rivals, or friends, or whatever type of cabinet he wants to.. this year, Donald Trump is using his time to frequently go to Twitter to attack the cast of Hamilton–a broadway show that most likely most of Americans don’t care one bit about. This is not inside the beltway, but instead inside the big apple.. high above the lofty lofts of NYC are penthouses filled with people chattering about this. But the rest of the American people are scratching their heads at ..why..

    image

    Donald Trump is going to make just about everything about him over the next four years. No doubt people will bite every time. Why change now.

    He will utilize Twitter to keep the masses who voted for him faithful to the cause, while silently changing policy opinions on world events and Obama care.. yes, the Hamilton attack only gives more red meat to those who have not had any since the last Trump rally.

    By Saturday morning, both #NameAPenceMusical and #BoycottHamilton were trending on Twitter. There was a pro-Trump flash mob on Saturday night on Broadway. By Sunday, morning AM Trump again went to Twitter to slam Hamilton.

    This is unprecedented.

    Is it unpreseidential-elect?

    A big massive oops. No, Mark Zuckerberg is not dead, and neither are you …

    Despite apparent widespread glitches that changed a number of Facebook users pages to ‘remembering’ pages–the kind that happens when someone assumes room temperature..

    I would hope that the company tries stopping the glitch from occurring again. Though many users of Facebook probably feel dead inside anyway, it becomes a false profile on social networks…. and when the founder is presumed fatally wounded, stocks could suffer.

    So here’s to you, Facebook user! Hope you had a good social.

  • Small town clowns attack again

    Small town clowns attack again

    A few days ago, I wrote about the ‘small town clowns’ scare going on in South Carolina. It just got weirder.. Not only there but in a lot of other places. Heck, maybe YOU are dressed like a clown reading this!?

    A local FOX affiliate in South Carolina quoted someone saying ‘this is serious’ after yet another incident of a clown occurrence took place in the state. The latest took place on August 31.. The complainant, a woman, told officers that a person dressed as a clown was standing in her backyard. She snapped a photo and the person ran off. Police said the responding officer tried to view the photo on the woman’s phone but the image was too dark to make out… The closest SC had to proof yet! Unfortunately it is shrouded in the darkness of the night.

    But get this: It is not just South Carolina suddenly fearful.

    An NBC affiliate in Ohio is reporting that someone in a clown outfit chased a 14-year-old from his bus stop.. The report also claims that the clown was carrying a knife during the run.

    Police are warning that whoever the clowns are, they will be arrested,

    And with that.. Heat Street says that the fear of clowns is sweeping the globe. Sounds ominous. They used an interesting photo for their story:

    The site reports,

    Coulrophobia – the fear of clowns – might seem like an old-joke from the 1990s – but more and more people are signing up to it.

    In recent years, clown masks have become a new favourite to intimidate and scare people.

    I don’t want to toot my own horn too much (but I am on the cutting edge of pop culture! I swear I am!) but I predicted this a few weeks ago. When one little article popped up regarding clowns, I went to my Facebook page and alerted readers that clown season was coming back again.

    It happened years before, too.. Check my articles from the past to jog your memory. In 2014, for example, I wrote about the great clown panic of the autumn of that year.  This year, the panic seems to be growing.

    Clowns behaving badly. People dressing like clowns.

    The autumn winds and early seasonal changes make this time of year perfect for clown scares.. Seriously. The night begins to creep in .. clowns symbolize the end of life (the big inflated noses and white skin, coupled with scraggly hair, are all the active signs of a corpse decomposing) .. I expect more clown scares before the end of the fall in the pre-weeks to the Halloween season.

    This is my favorite time of year. The colors, the smells, the feel of the air.. the things to do. And the clowns to see.
