Worst First Date Jay Leno went into the audience to find the most embarrassing first date that a woman ever had. The winner described her worst first date experience. There was absolutely no question as to why her tale took the prize!
She said it was midwinter, snowing and quite cold... and the guy had taken her skiing in the mountains outside Salt Lake City, Utah. It was a day trip (no overnight).
They were strangers, after all, and had never met before. The outing was fun but relatively uneventful until they were headed home late that afternoon. They were driving back down the mountain when she gradually began to realize that she should not have had that extra latte !!
They were about an hour away from anywhere with a restroom and in the middle of nowhere! Her companion suggested she try to hold it, which she did for a while.
Unfortunately, because of the heavy snow and slow going, there came a point where she told him that he had better stop and let her go beside the road, or it would be the front seat of his car.
They stopped and she quickly crawled out beside the car, yanked her pants down and started. In the deep snow she didn't have good footing, so she let her butt rest against the rear fender to steady herself.
Her companion stood on the side of the car watching for traffic and indeed was a real gentleman and refrained from peeking. All she could think about was the relief she felt despite the rather embarrassing nature of the situation.
Upon finishing, however, she soon became aware of another sensation. As she bent to pull up her pants, the young lady discovered her buttocks were firmly glued against the car's fender.
Thoughts of tongues frozen to poles immediately came to mind as she attempted to disengage her flesh from the icy metal. It was quickly apparent that she had a brand new problem, due to the extreme cold.
Horrified by her plight and yet aware of the humor of the moment, she answered her date's concerns about' what is taking so long' with a reply that indeed, she was 'freezing her butt off' and in need of some assistance!
He came around the car as she tried to cover herself with her sweater and then, as she looked imploringly into his eyes, he burst out laughing. She too got the giggles and when they finally managed to compose themselves, they assessed her dilemma. Obviously, as hysterical as the situation was, they also were faced with a real problem.
Both agreed it would take something hot to free her chilly cheeks from the grip of the icy metal! Thinking about what had gotten her into the predicament in the first place, both quickly realized that there was only one way to get her free. So, as she looked the other way, her first-time date proceeded to unzip his pants and pee her butt off the fender.
As the audience screamed in laughter, she took the Tonight Show prize hands down. Or perhaps that should be 'pants down'. And you thought your first date was embarrassing.
Jay Leno's comment..... 'This gives a whole new meaning to being pissed off.'
Oh, and how did the first date turn out? He became her husband and was sitting next to her on the Leno show

That business about the "bedroom invaders" reminds of the time I had a broken arm, in a cast and a lady friend came to visit me in my apartment. I was unable to defend myself from her unsavery advances. I mean, really! Ever try to prevent an agressive lady working to get her way? And have a broken wing? It was, well, quite frankly, against my will!!! No means No! But that didn't matter. Nope!
You can run with a broken arm :D
Crystal
The lady is a long distance bicyclist, 100 miles/161km per day to keep in shape....where was there to run to? I was in my studio apartment, which I shared at the time with a three rack InterData 8/32 super-minicomputer (boys gotta have their toys) and a washing machine size disk-drive and a water-bed. She cornered me, pushed me in the direction of action-central and then it was a tussle.

Wings Of Crystal,
Thanks for sharing.
However, it seems that the fellow in the video may have discs on the brain. The object doesn't look a disc to me, but rather a piece of random shape junk. As usual, we have no idea what is actually happening. For instance is this the booster? And if it is the booster, is it ascending or descending? If ascending it could be a chunk of tumbling ice. What ever the object is, it is definately tumbling and one thing for certain, ET objects never tumble, they are always stable. Discs are obviously whether internally (as is suspected) or externally (although the evidence suggests internal), are spin stabilized. If the booster is descending, then its just another wild guess as to what in fact it is. In either case, the surface tension of the surrounding atmosphere, via the 'venturi' effect, will cause turbulance surrounding the rocket assembly due to the assembly's high velocity. It is that turbulance that is likely causing the tumbling seen in the object, which suggests that the object is small and is captured within the rocket vehicle air-column. In my opinion.

Skinwalker Ranch Livestream Gives You a Rare Glimpse Into Its Dark Heart
By Kelly Wynne On 3/26/20 at 12:01 PM EDT
Utah's Skinwalker Ranch will become digitally accessible to paranormal buffs everywhere on Monday.
The History Channel is giving supernatural stans unprecedented access to the well-known extraterrestrial hotbed with an exclusive overnight live stream. And in advance of that, on Friday, a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" (AMA) session will allow subscribers of the r/paranormal community to communicate with Travis Taylor, the legendary location's data scientist.
Skinwalker Ranch has long been a haven for apparent paranormal and unexplainable happenings, including UFO and odd creature sightings, as well as animal mutilation. The 512-acre ranch has been called "UFO Alley" and also raises questions about possible electromagnetic fields with no apparent source. Its ever-changing levels have even crossed into territory that poses a danger to humans, according to a January Vice tell-all.
Both online events will preview the History Channel's upcoming nonfiction documentary series, The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch, which will dive deep into the science and mysteries surrounding the location's extreme unexplained occurrences.

Scientists identify microbe that could help degrade polyurethane-based plastics
27 March 2020
There may be a small answer to one of the biggest problems on the planet.
German researchers report in the journal Frontiers in Microbiology that they have identified and characterized a strain of bacteria capable of degrading some of the chemical building blocks of polyurethane.
"The bacteria can use these compounds as a sole source of carbon, nitrogen and energy," said Dr. Hermann J. Heipieper, a senior scientist at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research-UFZ in Leipzig, Germany and co-author of the new paper. "This finding represents an important step in being able to reuse hard-to-recycle PU products."
In 2015, polyurethane products alone accounted for 3.5 million tons of the plastics produced in Europe. Polyurethane is used in everything from refrigerators and buildings to footwear and furniture to numerous other applications that can leverage its lightweight, insulating and flexible properties.
Unfortunately, polyurethane is difficult and energy-intensive to recycle or destroy as most of these kinds of plastics are thermosetting polymers that do not melt when heated. The waste mostly ends up in landfills where it releases a number of toxic chemicals, some of which are carcinogenic.
The use of microorganisms like bacteria and fungi to break down oil-based plastics is an ongoing area of research. However, few studies have addressed biodegradation of polyurethanes like the current paper.
The team out of Germany managed to isolate a bacterium, Pseudomonas sp. TDA1, from a site rich in brittle plastic waste that shows promise in attacking some of the chemical bonds that make up polyurethane plastics.
The researchers performed a genomic analysis to identify the degradation pathways at work. They made preliminary discoveries about the factors that help the microbe metabolize certain chemical compounds in plastic for energy. They also conducted other analyses and experiments to understand the bacterium's capabilities.
This particular strain is part of a group of bacteria that are well-known for their tolerance of toxic organic compounds and other forms of stress, according to Dr. Christian Eberlein with the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research-UFZ. He is a co-author on the paper who coordinated and supervised the work.
"That trait is also named solvent-tolerance and is one form of extremophilic microorganisms," he said.
The research is part of a European Union scientific program dubbed P4SB (From Plastic waste to Plastic value using Pseudomonas putida Synthetic Biology), which is attempting to find useful microorganisms that can bioconvert oil-based plastics into fully biodegradable ones. As the name implies, the project has focused on a bacterium known as Pseudomonas putida.
In addition to polyurethane, the P4SB consortium, which includes the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research-UFZ, is also testing the efficacy of microbes to degrade plastics made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is widely used in plastic water bottles.
Heipieper said that the first step of any future research on Pseudomonas sp. TDA1 will be to identify the genes that code for the extracellular enzymes that are capable of breaking down certain chemical compounds in polyester-based polyurethanes. Extracellular enzymes, also called exoenzymes, are proteins secreted outside of a cell that cause a biochemical reaction.
However, there is no immediate plan to engineer these or other enzymes using synthetic biology techniques for bioplastic production. That could involve, for instance, genetically converting the bacteria into mini-factories capable of transforming oil-based chemical compounds into biodegradable ones for planet-friendly plastics.
Heipieper said more "fundamental knowledge" like the one gathered in the current study is needed before scientists can make that technological and commercial leap.
One small step at a time.

Sometime this year, we taxpayers will likely receive another economic stimulus.
It is indeed a very exciting program, and I’ll explain it by using a Q&A format:
Q: What is an Economic Stimulus?
A: It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.
Q: Where will the government get this money?
A: From taxpayers.
Q: Is the government simply giving me back my own money, then?
A: No, only a smidgen of it.
Q: What is the purpose of this payment?
A: The plan is for you to use the money to purchase a high definition television set, a new iPad, or a new SUV, thus stimulating the economy.
Q: Isn’t that stimulating the economy of China?
A: Shut up.
Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the U. S. Economy with your stimulus check. Use it wisely:
* If you spend the stimulus money at Walmart the money will go to China or Sri Lanka.
* if you spend it on gasoline, it money will go to the Arabs.
* if you purchase a computer, it goes to India, Taiwan or China.
* if you purchase fruits and vegetables, it will go to Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala.
* if you buy an efficient car, it will go to Japan or Korea.
* if you purchase useless stuff, it goes to Taiwan.
* if you pay your credit card off, or buy stock, it will go to management bonuses and they will hide it offshore.
Instead, keep the money in America by:
(1) Spending it at a yard sale, or
(2) Going to a ballgame, or
(3) Spending it on prostitutes, or
(4) Beer, or
(5) Tattoos
(These are the only American businesses still operating in the U.S.)
CONCLUSION: Go to a ballgame with a tattooed prostitute that you met at a yard sale and drink beer all day.
No need to thank me, I’m just glad I could be of help.

Swamp,
...(3) Spending it on prostitutes,...
How can you be sure she is an All American prostitute ?
(Just asking for a friend)
By the way, I understand there is another $4 Trillion coming down the pike soon. So, with $6 Trillion to pay back, Taxes are going to jump pretty high.
HAL.

The Kailasa Temple
The Kailasa temple was carved out of one single rock. Also known as ‘Cave 16’ of the Ellora Caves, it is notable for being the largest monolithic structure in the world carved out of a single piece of rock.
The temple is the largest of the rock-cut Hindu temples at the Ellora Caves, Maharashtra, India. A megalith carved from a rock cliff face, it is considered one of the most remarkable cave temples in the world because of its size, architecture and sculptural treatment, and "the climax of the rock-cut phase of Indian architecture". The top of the superstructure over the sanctuary is 32.6 metres (107 feet) above the level of the court below, although the rock face slopes downwards from the rear of the temple to the front.
The Kailasa temple (Cave 16) is the largest of the 34 Buddhist, Jain and Hindu cave temples and monasteries known collectively as the Ellora Caves, ranging for over 2 kilometres (1.5 miles) along the sloping basalt cliff at the site. Most of the excavation of the temple is generally attributed to the eighth century Rashtrakuta king Krishna I (r. c. 756 – 773), with some elements completed later. The temple architecture shows traces of Pallava and Chalukya styles. The temple contains a number of relief and free-standing sculptures on a grand scale equal to the architecture, though only traces remain of the paintings which originally decorated it.
