Random funny/fascinating/cool/odd stuff: Ring is paying 100K to someone for sharing ghosts caught on camera (2 Viewers)

Please meet Derek Blasberg--writer, socialite, author, and television personality who works in the fashion industry.

He is a mildly interesting friend-of-celeb, social climber type. Successful in his own right, but much more well known for being the guy at every celeb event where people say, 'this guy again? Who IS he?'. I have been at events with him, but have never spoken to him. The people I know who have met him say he's a bit of hanger-on, but a super nice guy.

His life straddles the fashion world, and celeb world. At least, it did until he had an explosive diarrhea incident in one of Gwyneth Paltrow's beds at her Hamptons estate.

The Hamptons rumor (coming from a really attractive bartender at Surf Lodge, who will definitely hear the truth from someone) is that this was a mishap involving Ozempic and a sleep aid.

Insiders later told DailyMail.com Blasberg - once described as 'one of showbiz’s most well-connected men' - was the culprit and that he had conveniently blamed the incident on the popular weight loss wonder drug before allegedly fleeing the property.

:poop:💣

You can all exhale... The World Conker championship wasn't won by cheating.

-------------------------
The game of conkers involves trying to smash an opponent's conker - the hard brown fruit of the horse chestnut tree, which is threaded onto a shoelace - by hitting it as hard as possible with their own conker.

The Oct. 13 result of the men's competition had been called into question after losing competitors complained and Jakins was found to have a replica steel conker in his pocket.
"The conclusion of the investigation is that the World Championship Men’s title was won fairly, and that the steel conker was not used in play," the statement said.



That guy's got some conkers on him!

Ghosts caught on Camera!? The only weird stuff my Ring captures is Door Dashers delivering food to my house instead of my next door neighbors who apparently don't mind paying $48 for Ramen twice a week.

On October 31, 1990, The Amazing Joe Burrus arrived at Blackbeard’s Family Fun Center in a white limousine and attempted his last magic trick ---- being handcuffed, chained, put in a glass coffin, and buried under 6 feet of dirt and concrete.

Burrus wasn't much on physics, structural engineering, or practice runs.

 
Finally, our first wood-paneled satellite. Pretty sure some scientist made this in his rec room.

"The world's first wood-panelled satellite has been launched into space to test the suitability of timber as a renewable building material in future exploration of destinations like the Moon and Mars.

Made by researchers in Japan, the tiny satellite weighing just 900g is heading for the International Space Station on a SpaceX mission. It will then be released into orbit above the Earth.

Named LignoSat, after the Latin word for wood, its panels have been built from a type of magnolia tree, using a traditional technique without screws or glue."

Ha, almost posted this one the other day. Pretty neat.
 
About 1954:

"You need to get 500 tons of supplies from Fairbanks, Alaska to the Arctic Ocean—a journey of about 400 miles through pure wilderness. There are no roads, very few airstrips, and endless ice. You’re going to have to withstand minus 68 degree temperatures. Also, nuclear armageddon is on the menu if you’re not quick about it. You, my friend, need a LeTourneau land train. "


Very interesting article about the land train, with a surprise letdown ending.
