Dont get me wrong i do like a nice tattoo and it could well cover a entire arm or back, my problem are the poor bastards covered in 278 different kinds of stupid ” poo ”
Xiaoma the Chinese and other languages speaking guy in the video above, well the handful of languages i have a OK grasp on, well not in his class at all.
I do have 1 tattoo myself, my Zodiac ( Leo ) on my Right shoulder, where it have been for 38 years.
Mind you with the trend today if someone offered to pay to get it removed i would take it, even if it otherwise do not bother me at all, it is actually made by a guy that at the time was a champion tattoo artist.
You would have no problem finding Danes with 40 years old tattoos that both then and now look as if some deranged madman went to town on them with a permanent marker in the industrial size.
This high glossy ” thing ” came in my open window last week, and landed on my monitor.
The picture do not do it justice at all, it was highly reflective and yellow and golden with red markings on the back.
As i am a nice guy, i gently picket it up and threw it back out the window into the night.
I am not that familiar with American flora and fauna, other things about you guys i have a OK grasp on for a guy thousand of miles away.
It did not have any funky smell, and i am not aware of any bug here that have such characteristic.
Stink bugs are shaped like the one you showed but they are just brown.The color of yours looked like a bright vest workers wear to been seen along roads. Stink bugs really do let out a smell when threatened and over the past few years they have moved across a lot of states. Some houses have them by the 100's and use vacuums to suck them up.
I’ll start - the oldest musical instrument.
About 43,000 years old.
The flutes from Geisenklösterle Cave are the oldest musical instruments, that can be definitively identified as instruments, that have ever been discovered.
These flutes were made from bird bone and mammoth ivory and were carbon dated to between 42,000 – 43,000 years ago. Scientists believe that the flutes and other early instruments were used in recreation or religious rituals.
(I love it when “Scientists say” - like they have a clue what went on 42K years ago). Maybe the whistles were for calling the dogs in for the night or perhaps many were used in the first ancient Sousa marches…
All the Best,
Jeff
The storm surge pillar in Ribe town, the bands on it indicate water level for different storms.
November 12 - 14, 1872 was bad. about 12 feet above normal high tide, dikes to protect the area ( most of Jutland’s west coast ) was only completed in 1912, though are constantly being worked on and improved upon.
Not that many dead back then as after all western Jutland are pretty thin populated, but many survivors probably did go ” thats GD it ! i am going to the America ”
Big storms in the north sea pound us Danes some times, and without the dikes we would be in trouble, the big question is, how long will the dikes last as weather and ocean levels get worse and worse.
Every storm and the sea take a bite of Denmark, in spite of various efforts and millions of tonnes sand getting pumped to the beaches every year.
