Saw a homeless man trying to get a on bus. Bus driver apparently didn't like the homeless guy and wouldn't let him on the bus and pulled off. Homeless guy starts chasing the bus and in the process his pants fall down. Homeless go proceeds to run three blocks butt ass naked down the street yelling at the bus.

Eating lunch at a pizza joint. It has both a seating area and a lot of take-away customers. No good place for the take-away customers to wait and all the seating was taken for dine-in. A lady plopped herself right in front of the napkins and utensils waiting for her food. Then she pulled out her smartphone and proceeded to zone out pecking away on that while everyone else tried to navigate around her to get napkins and utensils. Some people's kids!

A green plastic garden chair in the middle of a farmers field, round about where a scarecrow would normally be... A london pidgeon trying to perch on a large polished stainless steel handrail, too big for its claws. Slipped around like spinning on a floating log for several minutes before eventually realising it wasn't gonna get a grip on it... |

A guy comes into the small gym I go to the other day goes on every piece of equipment in about 10 minuets. Every one he goes hell for leather. does about 10 reps on the weight machines and about 30 seconds on the cardio stuff. All this time I'm on a cross trainer watching. it was like exercise in fast forward.

My company makes the satellites and launch vehicles for my country's space program. We also run the ground control station once they are in orbit.
I watched the launch of our 10th Satellite early yesterday. The 'weird shit' part of it was that I watched it being launched westward; the opposite direction of every other satellite launch in the world. Every other space capable country in the world launches their rockets eastward to take advantage of the earth's rotation. Since we don't want to raise tensions with any of our neighbors to the east, we launch in the opposite direction (west towards the Mediterranean, just south of Aviator47's house) - using a MUCH more powerful rocket engine - to escape the grip of earth's gravity. Truth be told, it was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Big rocket engines make for some really cool viewing!!!
