They can last a while in there. I used my shop vac for spotted lantern flies. They didn't die.

 

Whoever stole the shop vac is in for a very big surprise.

It's not "finders keepers". In this case, the owner was identifiable. There are laws in most states that require you report found valuables or cash and make an effort to find the owner. It's at least a misdemeanor if you don't.

This was not a new photo, as noted. The photo was apparently with the Centre for Fortean Zoology and they determined it was NOT genuine.

The molecule has been found in space, but that doesn't mean it couldn't also have formed on earth pretty easily. This article has not been peer reviewed so, I don't think it boosts the idea of panspermia very much.

Ha. I thought the same thing. Dogs don’t like “spa day”.

This is a rural area, the houses are very far apart. He was aiming for it, but hit a drainage ditch and became airborne. If he hit the ground floor, it could have been tragic rather than just so bizarre.

The state wants to ban all mention of gender and sexuality in schools because they don’t think children need to learn about that (even though that’s real life). Sexual and gender issues are a necessary part of the AP psych curriculum, therefore, teachers cannot teach the complete course without facing legal ramifications. The state has failed to clarify this so nothing has been resolved.

It really is infantilizing kids of high school age to make them deliberately ignorant (and therefore reject) people who have different preferences. It’s horrific and is doomed to fail. The real world has a way of catching up.
