wikipedia snippet from the Steam Engine page, showing an illustration of a weird steam-powered machine: a water chamber on stilts sits over a fire, and pipes connect the chamber to a very simple turbine with two nozzle arms spaced 180° apart on the turbine’s exterior and pointed perpendicularly to its rotational axis. the caption states: “An aeolipile rotates due to the steam escaping from the arms. No practical use was made of this effect. [citation needed]”

photo of a sketchbook pencil comic. top half of the page is lyrics from TMBG’s When Will You Die: “on that promised morning, we will wake and greet the dawn knowing that your wicked life is over and that we will carry on! we’ll exhale we’ll high-five we will know how blessed and great is is to be alive we’ll be lining up and buying tickets and then we’ll be jumping up and down on your grave you’re insane! you are bad! you wreck everything you touch and you’re a sociopath and the only way to mitigate would be to know the date you’re scheduled to vacate when are you going to die? look me in the eye, tell me when you’ll die!” panel 2: father asks “is this song about someone specific?”; katie replies “it is now”
a photo of a sketchbook pencil comic. panel 1: norrin says “ooh, this TV has hulu! let’s watch jeaopardy!”; katie says “would you like to watch jeaopardy, father?” panel 2: father says “I haven’t seen that show in like forty years. you can put it on, but I’m just going to look at my phone.” panel 3: father yells “GOLDEN GLOVES! IT’S THE GOLDEN GLOVES, YOU MORON!” at the TV; norrin says “you have to say it in the form of a question!”
folks, I gotta tell you a true story. one summer about 30 years ago, Ms Spouse and I are renting a house in Hyannisport, a short walk down the beach from the Kennedy compound. and one day, Ms Spouse and daughter Katie are walking on that beach, and here come two Kennedy children (they were obviously Kennedys, all Kennedys look alike — those are some strong genes.) anyway, Katie goes running over because these two Kennedy children are carrying a wounded cormorant, and one of the Kennedy kids says — I shit you not — ‘our Uncle Bobby captured this bird. he collects animals.’ ‘collects’ is doing a lot heavy lifting in that statement — especially when you apply it to the maniac who keeps a chainsaw in the trunk of his car, in case he runs into any random dead whales that need their heads lopped off.

GARAGE, GARAGE! GARAGE, GARAGE! GARAGE, GARAGE, GARAGE! IT’S THE GARAGE, GARAGE! GARAGE, GARAGE! GARAGE, GARAGE, GARAGE!”
