jelly donuts, gators and bunnies

The crack ninja news team at Lisleman’s Institute for Better Postings have been busy searching the web for spiders good news stories. (now if you are doubting my crack ninja news team, then, well first off I respect skeptical minds but what do I need to do to convince the doubting Thomas out there? Take a picture of Lisleman in his ninja suit? Oh you would be sorry then.  And we do have spider webs in the office.)


notice the jelly donut?


Our smaller neighbor planet has been getting photographed often over the past few years. Thanks to the camera on a mars rover (Opportunity I think) we have this odd quote coming from a NASA astronomer:

"It looks like a jelly donut, … And it appeared, it just plain appeared, at that spot and we haven't driven over that spot."

Ok, he didn't say it was a jelly donut and he probably was up late and didn’t have breakfast yet. But did you catch the part about this thing just appearing? Sure here on earth small objects appear all the time but we have lots of people who litter. Could someone be littering on Mars? Maybe the Chinese are much further along in their space exploration that we realize. Maybe someone is throwing rocks at our rover. Maybe I should move on to the next story.







Another picture needing close examination. Look deep into the ear. Now I’ve certainly have pulled my share of waxy buildup from my ears but never a bunny. I’ve heard certain mushrooms can bring you visions of bunnies dancing, but ear bunnies?

The sculptors of the Mandela statue said they had added the rabbit to the statue after the department refused to allow them to engrave their signatures on the trousers of the statue, South Africa's Beeld newspaper reported.  Where on the trousers I wonder, the inseam, back pocket?


Do the sculptors know the now famous sign language signer at the Mandela memorial? That sign language signer should have made balloon bunnies during the memorial. The whole thing makes sense now.





This next story is an update on a story that was first reported back in Nov. 2013. A traveler spotted a 2-foot-long alligator under an escalator at O’Hare International Airport. (for the geographically challenged - Chicago’s O’Hare airport is NOT in the tropics or even close)

I doubt the Chicago police have a gator investigation team but they did track down a women who it appears (charged not convicted yet) placed the alligator in the airport. She told police that she lost the gator at the airport. Also, they were told that she “was so (high) on crack cocaine and heroin and had taken some pills” during her airport visit.  I suspect the drugs could have something to do with bringing a gator to a busy airport. She apparently didn’t fly out of the airport (well not physically, mentally I can’t imagine where she went) and possibly just wanted to take the gator outside for fresh air.

On the subject of ninja suits, what do you think of this:



This certainly calls for an investigation by the crack ninja news team at Lisleman’s Institute for Better Postings. Don't you agree?

thanks I'm happy to share a laugh.

I thought the bunny in bad taste, until I got to the psychedelic jammies.

lisleman said...

bad taste ? you mean bad hearing. Psychedelic jammies might be what they are. I'm not sure but I'm sure glad I don't own any.
thanks

I want to save the bunny! Nobody can see it and it is a signature piece.
Sx

Why make a fuss about an alligator that small? The woman was probably using it as a sex toy, which is not an activity that ever brought down an aeroplane...to my knowledge.

lisleman said...

Signature piece - so true! Start a campaign, I'll hold the money for you. thanks

lisleman said...

You are probably right. However sex toys in at 30,000 ft. could be too distracting to the crew. Actually the alligator was malnourished and in need of care (as was the women I suspect).
thanks

Bunny in the ear...what is funny about that is they did it in protest. As protests go..seems rather bland.

I think it would be awesome if the proof of the existence of Martians came down to a jelly donut.

I'm not much of a fan of jelly donuts, but if they find a chocolate donut on Mars, that will get my attention!

lisleman said...

good to read a comment for you. are you back to blogging? Donuts on Mars - the plan to get NASA funding going again???
thanks

lisleman said...

Cheryl's Jelly Donut Theory - astrophysicists now have something to bite into. thanks

Someone making balloon animals would sure liven up most political speeches.

longhollow said...

That video of the sign language guy making balloon animals is hilarious!

lisleman said...

It appears to be a popular one from reading the comments. I found it while I was researching the Mandela bunny ear story. thanks

lisleman said...
