Henry is The Man So there's this guy named Henry Earl.
He lives in Lexington, KY. I don't know much about him except that he goes by the name "James Brown", (which is cool in and of itself) and that he likes to get drunk.

These gorgeous pair of red, luscious lips belong to a plant known as Psychotria elata, a tropical tree found in the rain forests of Central and South American countries like Colombia, Costa Rica, Panama and Ecuador.
Affectionately, Psychotria elata is called Hooker’s Lips or the Hot Lips Plants. The plant has apparently evolved into its current shape to attract pollinators including hummingbirds and butterflies. According to Oddity Central, the bracts are only kissable for a short while, before they spread open to reveal the plant’s flowers. Images via Avaxnews. Indian holy man has kept his arm raised for 38 years. Sadhu Amar Bharati is an Indian holy man who claims that he has had his right hand raised in the air since 1973. 38 years later, his hand is just a useless piece of skin and bone with thick and twisted nails.
Sources claim Amar Bharati felt disillusioned by all the fighting going on in the world, and decided to raise his right arm for peace. A respected Sadhu at the Kumbh Mela, in Haridwar, Amar has inspired other Sadhus to raise their arms for peace and harmony, and some of them have kept them raised for the last seven, thirteen, even 25 years. But doing something like this doesn’t just mean giving up the functionality of an important body part, it also implies dealing with a lot of pain. Source: Oddity Central. U.S. Flags On The Moon. Calvin & Hobbes and Dune is a surprisingly great combination. On the one hand, I often feel this way myself.
On the other hand, stories worth telling usually involve substantial suffering to be endured, hardship to be overcome, and loss to be borne. While that makes for a good story, I'm not sure it makes for a good life. My favourite definition of the good life is vaguely Aristotelian: moral self-approval. Being the kind of person you can be proud of is incompatible with mediocrity, but it doesn't (necessarily) require either epic feats nor great suffering. Retire? The Invisible Mother. The QI Zoo. Nature's Marvel: Living Root bridges of Cherrapunji. Phantom time hypothesis. Basis of the hypothesis[edit] The basis of Illig's hypothesis include:[2][3] the scarcity of archaeological evidence that can be reliably dated to the period AD 614–911, on perceived inadequacies of radiometric and dendrochronological methods of dating this period, and on the over-reliance of medieval historians on written sources.the presence of Romanesque architecture in tenth-century Western Europe.
This is taken as evidence that less than half a millennium could have passed since the fall of the Roman Empire, and concludes that the entire Carolingian period, including the existence of the individual known as Charlemagne, is a forgery by medieval chroniclers; or more precisely, a conspiracy instigated by Otto III and Gerbert d'Aurillac.the relation between the Julian calendar, Gregorian calendar and the underlying astronomical solar or tropical year. Arguments against the hypothesis[edit] There are several dating methods which contradict the hypothesis. See also[edit] Notes[edit] Les écureuils dressés de Charlie et la chocolaterie. Forty squirrels were trained to crack nuts in the new film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
How? Even with sophisticated computer-generated technology available, director Tim Burton refused to take any short cuts with the famous Nut Room scene in Roald Dahl's novel. It had to be as life-like as possible, Burton decided, which meant squirrels cracking and sorting nuts on a conveyor belt. In the film, they are seen sitting on stools testing the quality of the nuts until their work is rudely interrupted by one of the humans, in an action they take strong exception to. Some of the squirrels were hand-reared and required bottled milk on set, and others came from squirrel rescues or private homes. Steve Vedmore, an animal trainer from Brynmawr, south Wales, worked for eight weeks on the film. Llama Killed Freddie Mercury's Michael Jackson Dreams. Michael Jackson's llama wrecked Freddie Mercury's dreams of recording a hit duet with the King of Pop - because the QUEEN star didn't like working in a studio with an overgrown pet.
