#4 Stumbled Upon

It's been a while since we had a rummage round the internet, so for your delight and interest...

Some lovely pictures via imagefave, for example, umbrellas and crayons and some interesting "music" on youtube.

And now you are up you find your chair squeaks - enter WD40 along with its many other uses.

and finally, done something good or noble recently? Why not post it on the Peace board.

#3 stumbled upon

I stumbled upon an amazing news piece. I have copied it in full in this blog as it is so good, the original is HERE. there is so much hate and bigotry in our world, sometimes it makes you wonder how on earth things will change. And how on earth do you combat it? shouting never helped, angry back doesn't either. Prayer certainly does... And Clowns. I think Jesus would approve:

Here’s an excellent example of pwnage: when the white supremacist group VNN Vanguard Nazi/KKK tried to host a hate rally in Knoxville, Tennessee, they were foiled by … clowns!
Unfortunately for [VNN] the 100th ARA (Anti Racist Action) clown block came and handed them their asses by making them appear like the asses they were.

Alex Linder the founder of VNN and the lead organizer of the rally kicked off events by rushing the clowns in a fit of rage, and was promptly arrested by 4 Knoxville police officers who dropped him to the ground when he resisted and dragged him off past the red shiny shoes of the clowns. http://www.volunteertv.com/home/headlines/7704982.html

“White Power!” the Nazi’s shouted, “White Flour?” the clowns yelled back running in circles throwing flour in the air and raising separate letters which spelt “White Flour”.

“White Power!” the Nazi’s angrily shouted once more, “White flowers?” the clowns cheers and threw white flowers in the air and danced about merrily.

“White Power!” the Nazi’s tried once again in a doomed and somewhat funny attempt to clarify their message, “ohhhhhh!” the clowns yelled “Tight Shower!” and held a solar shower in the air and all tried to crowd under to get clean as per the Klan’s directions.

At this point several of the Nazi’s and Klan members began clutching their hearts as if they were about to have a heart attack. Their beady eyes bulged, and the veins in their tiny narrow foreheads beat in rage. One last time they screamed “White Power!”

The clown women thought they finally understood what the Klan was trying to say. “Ohhhhh…” the women clowns said. “Now we understand…”, “WIFE POWER!” they lifted the letters up in the air, grabbed the nearest male clowns and lifted them in their arms and ran about merrily chanting “WIFE POWER! WIFE POWER! WIFE POWER!”

#2 Stumbled Upon

Lots of things from nature this time, plus an interesting pass time and something serious...

Which is; isn't it bad enough that we sell majority world countries arms and debt while not paying their workers properly and making trade rules to suit ourselves, we also steal their land?

Anyway, off the soap box and onto... beards. Its nice to have a hobby, mine is blogging, theirs is.. well, beards really. Competition winning beards at that.

But my favourite in the world of stumbling today has to go to the natural world, what with amazing photos of lightning, a very regal looking breed of cat called a Norwegian Forrest cat (I want one) and the fascinating world of bees courtesy of Anna's Bee world, its a lovely day for blogging.

#1 Stumbled Upon

I have a thread in my personal blog called Stumbled Upon... thought I' share it with you guys too...

Three words came to mind on this little stumble, I will leave them to the end...

I love the Internet. there's just so much to see.

For example, a bubble in the process of bursting - I mean, how on earth did they manage to photograph that? I'm sure it would tell me on wiki.

And then of course, in the long road of sustainable living, there are a host of metaphorical B&B's where you can bump into interesting people who have travelled that bit of road before, such as the lovely people at LILI

Every now and then, the Internet stops you in your tracks and causes you to step back and take a deeper look at life. The face of a 42 year-old Cherokee Native American man did that for me. How is it we live in a world where people would rather be homeless than live on the land of their ancestors?

fascinating, informative, heart rending.
