My bro has a high school classmate who photographs his food all the time. LOL.
On a side note, I was trying to remember what village my college in Guam was in and I looked it up. For some reason I completely forgot that my college was on Sesame St (and I lived on Golden Shower Ln).

Gunfight Rules
"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading."
In a gunfight, the most important rule is ... HAVE A GUN!!!
These are shooting tips from various Concealed Carry Instructors. If you own a gun, you will appreciate these rules... If not, you should get one, learn how to use it and learn the rules.
RULES
A Guns have only two enemies: Rust and Politicians. Rust can be prevented, Politicians cannot.
B It's always better to be judged by 12 than carried out by 6.
C Cops carry guns to protect themselves, not you.
D Never let someone or something that threatens you get within arm's length.
E Never say "I've got a gun." If you need to use deadly force, the first sound they should hear is the safety clicking off, or the hammer cocking.
F The average response time of a 911 call is 23 minutes; the response time of a .357 is 1,400 feet per second.
G The most important rule in a gunfight is: Always Win - there is no such thing as a fair fight. Always Win - cheat if necessary. Always Win - 2nd place doesn't count.
H Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets ... you may get killed with your own gun, but they'll have to beat you to death with it because it will be empty.
I If you're in a gunfight:
(a) If you're not shooting, you should be loading.
(b) If you're not loading, you should be moving.
(c) If you're not moving, you're dead.
J In a life and death situation, do something ... it may be wrong, but do something!
K If you carry a gun, people will call you paranoid. Nonsense! If you have a gun, what do you have to be paranoid about?
L Never fire a "warning shot", that is just one wasted bullet, which could be needed within moments.
M You can say "stop" or any other word, but a large bore muzzle pointed at someone's head is pretty much a universal language; and, you won't have to press 1 for Spanish/Mexican, or 2 for Chinese, or 3 for Arabic.
N Never leave a wounded enemy behind. If you have to shoot, shoot to kill. In court, yours will be the only testimony.
O You cannot save the planet, but you may be able to save yourself and your family.

The planes that fly without moving parts is pretty cool- as are the medicines. Some pretty cool stuff.

Didn't the military test that same thing with a ship or sub to reduce noise that propellers make? One of those "can't get there from here" sorta things because of the huge power requirements. I recall it worked but was real slow.
A young man with his pants hanging half off his rear, two gold front teeth, and a half inch thick gold chain around his neck, walked into the local welfare office to pick up his check.
He marched up to the counter and said, "Hi. You know, I just HATE drawing welfare. I'd really rather have a job. I don't like taking advantage of the system, getting something for nothing."
The social worker behind the counter said "Your timing is excellent. We just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man who wants a chauffeur and bodyguard for his beautiful daughter. You'll have to drive around in his 2014 Mercedes-Benz CL, and he will supply all of your clothes."
"Because of the long hours, meals will be provided. You'll also be expected to escort the daughter on her overseas holiday trips. This is rather awkward to say, but you will also have, as part of your job, the assignment to satisfy her sexual urges as the daughter is in her mid-20's and has a rather strong sex drive."
The guy, just plain wide-eyed, said, "You're bull-sh*****' me!"
The social worker said, "Yeah, well . . . You started it . . . . “
