I don't know if any breed of dog has ever been raised primarily to catch fish,
but many certainly can - apparently Newfoundland Retrievers were used
for fishing in their original homeland.

This is what I meant when commenting on Eul's contributions a week or so back.
Who else can make the esoteric so interesting?
And where does she find these little tidbits?
Keep it up, Sweetie ...

Not so terribly old LittleSiss, that cartoon "Blondie"was still running here up into the 1960's. There was Dagwood, Blondie, their two teenagers Cookie and Alexander and the ol' boss was Mr.Dithers. My favorite cartoon of that time was "Pogo"Wow!

Blondie was created in 1930. Here is a link to the current cartoonist's story of the strip's history:Not so terribly old LittleSiss, that cartoon "Blondie"was still running here up into the 1960's.

Ukrainian couple and their awesome pics. He must have a strong neck and she's got superb balance and.....well a fine figure. 
Which is a cover of the Skyhooks 1978 hit of my teenage years
70s Australian band so no one here will have heard of them
I didn't even know that Iron Maiden covered it

That cartoon is from the internet, and ran just a few days ago. The strip is now drawn by the originator's son, if I recall. It's timeless. Julius C. Dithers (I don't know, but I bet the C stands for "Caesar"), a "sawed-off little Napolean", is everyone's "ideal" boss (and his wife is twice as tall as he is, ala Jack Welch late of General Electric). It is true that the water cooler has been replaced by coffee stations. It is not clear what Dithers and Company does, but one could easily imagine it as a hedge fund or something. I admit to being obsolescent, but my cynical sense of humor is au courrant, I like to think.Wow!

(And yes, I still do read a real local newspaper. I have to vote where I live. It is true that these days one can read the whole thing in under five minutes, unless you are shopping for a used car or something.)

There is also a fishing cat (a very beautiful animal, as nice-looking as an ocelot) native to south and southeast Asia, with webbed claws. You see them in zoos on occasion. A good rule of thumb is that "if it's edible, something will exploit it". The tree kangaroo of New Guinea is also somewhat unexpected--kangaroo hind legs just aren't optimized for arboreal life, but the animal exists and does fine. Evolution works with what it has, and all that is required is that things work well enough. "Exquisite design" is for creationists.

Happy Winter Solstice to those in the Northern Hemisphere!!! In the US it starts at 11:19 PM EST, already here for the folks in Europe and to the East. Saturnalia is hardly over and we have another reason to party! First day of Winter for us and longest night of the year. Here's a few Winter Solstice desktop background pics 4U.
