Bag of Randomness for Tuesday, December 19, 2023

  • One day I’m going to write about my trip to Vegas to see U2. For now, I’ll just tell you the stairs are the steepest you’ll find in the U.S. A lot of fans suffered vertigo just trying to get to our seats. One day, somebody is going to fall and the injury will be on the news, but you heard it from me first. In the meantime, check out some of this great drone footage.

  • I forgot about Bono’s bicycle accident in Central Park which required surgery to fix his arm. In this photo, you can definitely see the scar.

  • I should probably be watching more Dallas Mavericks games. It seems every night they play and I get on Twitter there’s a lot of buzz of how well Luka is playing.
  • Here’s something I’ve been pondering, chasing happiness brings more unhappiness, while accepting life as it is, provides serenity.
  • Even though a penalty ruined this play, I thought this analysis of it was quite interesting. Watch the center, then pay attention to the nose guard right in front of him. Before the snap, you see the nose tackle to the left of the center. But, when the center puts his head down to get ready to long snap, the nose guard shifts to the right of the center. When the ball is hiked, the center blocks to his right because that’s where he last saw the nose guard. The nose guard now has a clear path to the punter.

  • I haven’t heard the saying “Sheep and cattle just don’t mix” in a long time. For the heck of it, I looked it up. I’m sure Gary Larson wasn’t the first to say it.
    • “Sheep and cattle just don’t mix” is a line from the Far Side comic strip by Gary Larson. However, sheep and cattle can have biological needs that fit well together. In fact, some say that grazing sheep and cattle together can increase production from a pasture.
    • Cows and sheep have different malfunctions for eating grass. Sheep chew grass low to the ground. Cows use their tongues to pull grass up. The sheep cope with short grass but the cows need long grass. Sheep can go in the field after cows.
  • Video –Texas woman finds opossum in Christmas tree – A woman in Texas found an opossum lounging in her Christmas tree and the animal can be seen peaking its head out. She says she found the animal after hearing a sneeze from the tree.
  • Parenting advice YouTuber Ruby Franke pleads guilty to 4 counts of child abuse
  • Wow, a Bucees gingerbread house.

  • I’m a sucker when it comes to anything space related. Heck, I can even name several astronauts, and I bet most Americans can’t even name one. Mike Massimino is one of my favorites. Now, I’ve read and heard stuff about pooping in space before, but Mike goes into some interesting detail in this interview. But what I don’t understand is why is there a “back door” camera in the practice facility and not in the one up in space.
