Bag of Randomness for Friday, October 21, 2022

  • I remember when the third or middle break light started to become a thing in the Nineties. At the time, I was like, “What a great idea, why didn’t I think of that?”
  • I make fun of OtherDogGeedingII because I don’t think he knows how to bark. He can growl and whine. But, instead of barking, he just kinda squeals.
  • So friggin’ cool – ‘We’ve Never Seen Anything Like This Before:’ Black Hole Spews Out Material Years After Shredding StarThe team concludes that the black hole is now ejecting material traveling at half of the speed of light, but are unsure why the outflow was delayed by several years.

  • How Discovery Channel’s ‘MythBusters’ Helped a Wrongly Convicted Man Prove His InnocenceJohn Galvan was arrested at 18 and spent 35 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit.
    • The episode, “Hollywood on Trial,” which originally aired in 2005, sees the show’s hosts Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage attempt to reproduce famous scenes and commonly used plot devices from Hollywood films with the goal of ascertaining their scientific validity. The pair and their team investigate whether a person can break down a door with four types of locks, whether a sinking ship — like the Titanic — can actually create a whirlpool, and whether a lit cigarette can really ignite a pool of gasoline. It was the last of these questions that caught Mr. Galvan’s interest.
  • I feel sorry for the training the dog had to go through – A police dog who can detect seminal fluid has been welcomed to the Cheshire and North Wales Police Dog Unit.
    • Golden Labrador April qualified as a sexual crime scene Police Dog (PD) following six weeks of training from specialist officer PC Steve Gunn. She is now one of just three dogs in the UK specially trained to only detect seminal fluid.
    • The 15-month-old pooch can detect as little as 0.016ml of seminal fluid, sometimes years after it has been deposited, the force said.
