Seriously -- no political comments on this post, please.  My final post on the election will be later this week.






Instant karma


















"Hello, we just found the rotting corpse of a filthy parasite-infested wild animal lying on a dirty roadway where scavengers carrying God knows what diseases have probably been gnawing on it.  Would you like to come and eat it?"










When future archaeologists excavate graves from our time







I have no idea what this is supposed to mean, but it looks very cool



Planet Mercury



Roman town


The Edmund Fitzgerald, the ship commemorated in the classic song


Sagrada Familia cathedral, Barcelona


Kyoto


The acropolis of Athens, seen from above



Colmar, France -- once part of Germany, as the architecture suggests


The mummy of lady Chenet-aa of ancient Egypt, undergoing a CT scan -- perhaps thousands of years from now your remains will be studied using technologies you today cannot imagine



Albert Bridge, London


Svalbard in the Norwegian Arctic



Miranda, a moon of Uranus


X-ray, bat in flight


















Can ghosts be that hot-looking?

Excellent. I wonder how they got a bat to fly into an X-ray machine.

Excellent indeed! Fabulous collection. I sure wouldn't want to be on that cruise ship rocking in the waves.

I always look forward to your roundups. They make me want to look up things to see if there is more to what I just saw. Thank you for posting all this for us

Some of these are just extraordinary.
That really was instant karma for that guy though.
The bridge falling is a nightmare for sure.

Seafury: I doubt the bat was given a choice. It may have been tethered with a filament and "flying" stationary in a sort of wind-tunnel-like set-up.

Sandee: That trucker will never live that down.

Ricko: I'd be amazed if the ship rolling like that didn't kill people. Think how they'd be bounced around inside their rooms.

Leanna: Thanks! They'll keep coming.

Mary: The purse snatcher got closer to justice than he'd ever get in court. As for the bridge, based on the caption, it was in Russia. Gangster states always have crap civil engineering.

I was fascinated by the Delft-style porcelain skeleton. It was disturbing and beautiful all at the same time. Great pics, as always.
