What do you know today that you didn't know yesterday?

I thought that the Gipsy Kings were from Spain, but it turns out they’re based out of Arles, France (the town of Van Gogh). Hell, they don’t actually even sing in Spanish for the most part. It’s mostly just Catalan. They do have roots in Spain, but they all had to flee from Franco when the Fascists won the Spanish Civil War.

Also, a good number of them (specifically 3 of the Reyes brothers, including lead singer Nicolas Reyes) play their guitars left-handed and upside down like me.

Why Do Cats Try to Eat Plastic?
hillspet.com

It's a familiar scene: you hear a rustling from another room, and when you peek in to investigate, you see your feline friend chewing on a plastic bag, again. You're probably wondering why your cat likes to eat plastic and how you can divert your kitty's attention away from the potential dangers that go along with it.

Why Plastic?

Why does my cat try to eat plastic bags? Essentially, because she likes it. Plastic bags appeal to your cat's senses for a variety of reasons: the crinkle of the plastic, the smell of the food that was contained in it wafting through the air, the smooth surface under her paws. It's a full sensory experience for your little pal.

I respectfully disagree. As I pointed out in another thread, years of intensive scientific research has established that cats eat plastic because they are demented fucking gargoyles.

The square kilometer array (SKA), a new distributed aperture radio telescope scheduled to go into service by 2027, will be sensitive enough to detect commercial television stations from the distance of alpha Centauri.

The telescope gets its sensitivity by combining signals received from a large number of different receiving dishes totaling 300 acres in receiving area. To capture all the possible hints of signals falling on its receivers when it is in operation, the receivers of SKA transmits will more data a second to its central signal processing facility than the combined data traffic rate of the entire internet in 2015.

It depresses me to think that the Kentaurians may have fallen prey to commercial television.

Another new radio telescope at early proposal stage will be 3600 times more sensitive than the SKA and be able to detect “I love Lucy” from 1000 lightyears away.

Paul McCartney is the only Beatle heard on the song ‘Yesterday’. He sang and played an acoustic guitar, backed by a string quartet.

They moved the Cappamore Show way outside the village, like at least five miles up into the hills. Fucks sake, my poor feets.

I’d feel sorry for you, but I’ve had enough ag shows to last me a lifetime.
