Wednesday Pictorial

Once again this morning, I'm all fired up about so many topics that I can't decide what to write about. Therefore, I'll take a twist on Cartoon Saturday and share a few of the odd pictures from my collection...

This one is titled "The Four Ages of Man." Somehow it doesn't seem as funny as it used to ...

When I went off to college many years ago, I wanted to be a chemical engineer; however, my ... um ... modest performance in my chemistry and calculus classes made me decide to change over to Linguistics instead. This was the only chemical compound I really understood:

We have so many books that we sometimes find ourselves buying paperback copies of older books we've forgotten we already read. We need an alerting system like this one:

The ongoing financial crisis is affecting everybody, including the military. Air Force weapons developers have been looking at ways to economize on aircraft armaments...

I just liked this picture...I can relate to it a little more every day:

And finally, this is one of the most clever and original things I've seen in a long time - it's called "Roadside Romance" (click to enlarge it for easier reading):

Just a few ya-ha's for a Wednesday, to get you over the hump of the week. Hang in there - the weekend's on the way!

Have a good day. More thoughts tomorrow.

"Roadside romance" is very creative! I may have major distraction problems, however, the next time I'm driving in Germany and think about what those signs mean.

I liked that photo with the dancing shadows.

It reminds me of my grandfather. He's 90 this year and still dancing. He used to do ballroom but now, its line dancing.

As if I wasn't dangerous enough on the roads NOW I'll be thinking bad thoughts at every signpost!

I too was interested in Chemical engineering. Calculus II did me in. Trig functions and calculus put together are evil.

I like the guy strapped on the plane wing. It makes me think of James Bond's Secret Service having to cut down on costs.
