Some Muslim sects forbid touching between members of the opposite sex outside the family.

It’s a pretty narrow thing, outside of KSA. I’ve met hundreds of Muslims of both sexes through work and personal life and I’ve met precisely one woman who wouldn’t shake hands: an Omani student, who preferred to clasp her hands together and do a little bow instead.

The installation depicts a mischievous pack of his signature rats destroying everything in sight: swinging from towel racks, running on toilet paper, marking the days of quarantine on the wall, and making a disgusting mess of the toilet. The caption accompanying the work on Instagram reads simply, “My wife hates it when I work from home.”

Is your sourdough bread any good?

Yes, yes it is. It’s simple to get a starter going. Easy to throw everything into a breadmaker and let that robot do the work. Ours has failed. We now make it by hand and rise it and bake it in a loaf tin. Hand mixed at the beginning. No kneading.

Starter gets re-fed after taking the appropriate amount out for the bread, and goes straight back into the fridge.

I was looking into making a sourdough starter the other day, the same day that I dug out the potatoes and sorted out the pots and vegetable seeds.

The seeds are still in their packets, the potatoes still in their bucket (although I did find another large potato on the lawn underneath the clothesline this morning that I had dropped/lost), and the sourdough starter idea has been scrapped for now as the supermarket doesn’t have flour of any type anyway. Tomorrow is another day.

They make a serviceable but overall mediocre and somewhat underwhelming double album that receives high critical praise from rolling stone and a light 6 from Anthony Fantano, its produced by Jack White and Beck and features a few guests including possibly Dave Grohl, Willie Nelson, Stevie Nicks, and most baffling Bruno Mars. It wins at least one Grammy.

The stand out track on the album is one that features a post mortem verse by John Lennon pieced together from an old unreleased demo tape from Sgt Peppers.

A legal battle with Yoko Ono is taken up over it and the media hype ensures a number 1 spot on billboard for about 2 weeks. Within 2 months it will drop off the charts completely.

Tickets to their live show cost upwards of 300 dollars and they tour for 1 year/30 dates worldwide. 2 dates will cancel due to health of one of the members and the last 3 shows will have another British music legend (Eric Clapton, John Paul Jones etc.) to replace that member.

…the bloke with his headset literally TAPED to his head
was (PASSED Tense) was the Wildest member of the Wildest Group
(famously “The Loudest Band In History”) During the Wildest Era of Music.

Keith was so wild he’d go so wild bashing and even kicking over the drums even
during rehearsals (and in this case Studio Sessions) that the headphones necessary
to hear the rest of the group over the din he was creating, would go flying across the stage.

Roger had to tape the microphone to it’s cord to keep it from flying into the audience, and Pete
was the person who started the trend of bandsmen bashing their guitar against any nearby object.

Chyron Corporation
The company was founded in 1966 as Systems Resources Corporation. In its early days it was renamed “Chiron,” named after the centaur Chiron in Greek mythology.

Chiron
Chiron was notable throughout Greek mythology for his youth-nurturing nature. His personal skills tend to match those of his foster father Apollo, who taught the young centaur the art of medicine, herbs, music, archery, hunting, gymnastics and prophecy, and made him rise above his beastly nature. Chiron was known for his knowledge and skill with medicine, and thus was credited with the discovery of botany and pharmacy, the science of herbs and medicine.

So you might say that Chiron was the Centaur for Disease Control.

I only learnt the word “chyron” a few days ago.

Chyron Corporation
The company was founded in 1966 as Systems Resources Corporation. In its early days it was renamed “Chiron,” named after the centaur Chiron in Greek mythology.

Chiron
Chiron was notable throughout Greek mythology for his youth-nurturing nature. His personal skills tend to match those of his foster father Apollo, who taught the young centaur the art of medicine, herbs, music, archery, hunting, gymnastics and prophecy, and made him rise above his beastly nature. Chiron was known for his knowledge and skill with medicine, and thus was credited with the discovery of botany and pharmacy, the science of herbs and medicine.

——

So you might say that Chiron was the Centaur for Disease Control.

That’s up there with the best of Boris.

I liked it.

Should I start accidentally referring to coronavirus as calicivirus?

Population response to both has been the same. Hide away in holes.

Calicivirus was deliberately released.

Calicivirus was deliberately released.

I thought it was going to be deliberately released, but somehow got out accidentally, ahead of schedule.

Yeah, accidentally escaped from Wardang Island test site in 1995.

My memory may be wrong but I sort of remember that some farmers or some such went to an island where it was being trialed, grabbed some infected rabbits & released them on the mainland.

Wonder if this works for pandemic?

It does, if you substitute ‘police investigation’ for ‘whippy stick’, and ‘cruise line company’ for ‘rooster’.

Distracts attention from the facts for a little while in just the same way.

You’re really gunning this theory that letting people off the boat was some sort of conspiracy. Do you think the WA police were somehow involved?

I was thinking more of the Grubby Princess on the other side of the country, and the coincidences that the passengers disembarked from it included the parents-in-law of the Assistant Minister for Defence, and a sizeable contingent from the happy-clappy church patronised by both that same Assistant Minister and our heroic PM.

Oh well. I suppose it will come out in the wash.

anyway presumably the (quite reasonable, in our view) concern relates to various other publications, such as follows

There was talk of the Princess being allowed to sail away as early as tomorrow.

Our Gladys would be pleased to see a tangible reminder of the affair disappear over the horizon. The NSW Police could then (as they often do in similar inquiries) conclude that society is to blame, and we can all forget all about it. All of us. Forget. Completely.

it was like back when ol’ Clover spent Moore than $15 900 000 jetsetting around the world, the solar system, THE GALAXY, oh boy were society to blame for that one, and did we forget

You’re right.

Leunig talks sense on a lot of things. But certainly not on everything. Neither do i. Never known of anyone who does.

If it’s true it would provide ample evidence in any civil trial against those whose role in the saga led to many deaths.

It now appears that the Princess won’t be allowed to go tomorrow, due to more of its crew members falling ill.

Gladys Glum must be disappointed.

i really don’t see why gladys should care. she wasn’t responsible for it docking. her officer, ports, was overruled by the feds. she has just been left to clean up the mess.
