Frozen Fox

I’d like the story better if Frozen Caveman Lawyer found the fox.

“I’m just a caveman. I fell on some ice and later got thawed out by scientists. But there is one thing I do know. We must do everything in our power to lower the capital gains tax. Thank you!”

BERLIN (AP) — A hunter in Germany has put on show a block of ice containing a fox that he says fell into the chilly Danube and drowned, in what he calls a warning of the dangers of the icy river.

Franz Stehle told news agency dpa on Friday that the block containing the fox was extracted from the ice on Jan. 2 and put on display outside his family’s hotel in Fridingen. The town is on the upper reaches of the Danube, close to its source in southwestern Germany.

Stehle says it’s not unusual for animals to break through the frozen surface of the river in winter. He says he’s seen a frozen deer and wild boar before.

Everything About Mission Control Houston

It’s done in a style of Vogue’s 73 Question series (a great watch btw) but NASA didn’t really do a great job with the delivery. But I’ll give them a pass, they aren’t entertainers, they are engineers. But I I did enjoy learning a lot of new stuff.

Houston, we have a problem – there are too many questions about Mission Control. Luckily, Flight Director Mary Lawrence is here to answer as many as she can before her shift starts. Listen as she and her fellow flight controllers answer everything about Mission Control Houston: what time does it close, how many acronyms do you have to learn, is there a phone number for the space station, and many many more.

All of the flight controllers on screen are real Houston flight controllers and controllers in training.
