An instance of the wine bottle meme. Top text reads, in Calisto MT font "Tammy & Bobby are growing up so fast!" Middle text reads, in Arial font "So yeah, the platypus and the echidna really complicate the definition of a mammal..." Bottom text reads, in Comic Sans font "We only call monotremes mammals becausse the category of therapsids didn't exist when they were discovered by Europeans! They sweat milk, FFS!"

We've gotta get her talking like this
KING: The hell of life that hangs upon the crown, The daily cares, the nightly dreams, The wretched crews, the treason of the foe, And horror of my bloody practice past, Strikes such a terror to my wounded conscience, That sleep I, wake I, or whatsoe'er I do, Methinks their ghosts comes gaping for revenge, Whom I have slain in reaching for a crown. Clarence complains, and crieth for revenge. My nephew's bloods, "Revenge, revenge," doth cry. The headless peers come pressing for revenge. And every one cries, let the tyrant die. The sun by day shines hotly for revenge. The moon by night eclipseth for revenge. The stars are turned to comets for revenge. The planets change their courses for revenge. The birds sing not, but sorrow for revenge. The silly lambs sits bleating for revenge. The screeking raven sits croaking for revenge. Whole herds of beasts come bellowing for revenge. And all, yea all the world, I think, Cries for revenge, and nothing but revenge.

Maerth offered no evidence for his theories, basing them largely on his alleged meetings with cannibals in Java and New Guinea[5] and his experiences eating raw ape brains in a restaurant in Southeast Asia. He hints at having activated his latent psychic abilities through altering the shape of his skull in the manner of Incan tribes and/or trepanation, and his theories claimed to be mostly derived from the resulting divine inspiration.

The Media Likes Trump & Wants Him to Win example #234663
Personal Finance 56-year-old man got over $170,000 in student loan forgiveness under Trump: ‘I could not believe it’ Published Sat, Nov 22 20258:00 AM ESTUpdated Sat, Nov 22 20258:44 AM EST Key Points The fate of several student loan forgiveness programs has become uncertain under the Trump administration. But borrowers continue to get the relief. One man, Daniel Gray, received an email in October that the U.S. Department of Education would excuse his more than $170,000 balance. Gray’s relief came amid a lawsuit filed by the American Federation of Teachers against Trump officials. The AFT accused the Trump administration of blocking borrowers from their rights.

Ko-Ko. Pooh-Bah, it seems that the festivities in connection with my approaching marriage must last a week. I should like to do it handsomely, and I want to consult you as to the amount I ought to spend upon them. Pooh-Bah. Certainly. In which of my capacities? As First Lord of the Treasury, Lord Chamberlain, Attorney General, Chancellor of the Exchequer, Privy Purse, or Private Secretary? Ko-Ko. Suppose we say as Private Secretary. Pooh-Bah. Speaking as your Private Secretary, I should say that, as the city will have to pay for it, don't stint yourself, do it well. Ko-Ko. Exactly — as the city will have to pay for it. That is your advice. Pooh-Bah. As Private Secretary. Of course you will understand that, as Chancellor of the Exchequer, I am bound to see that due economy is observed. Ko-Ko. Oh! But you said just now "Don't stint yourself, do it well". Pooh-Bah. As Private Secretary. Ko-Ko. And now you say that due economy must be observed. Pooh-Bah. As Chancellor of the Exchequer. Ko-Ko. I see. Come over here, where the Chancellor can't hear us. (They cross the stage.) Now, as my Solicitor, how do you advise me to deal with this difficulty? Pooh-Bah. Oh, as your Solicitor, I should have no hesitation in saying "Chance it —" Ko-Ko. Thank you. (Shaking his hand.) I will. Pooh-Bah. If it were not that, as Lord Chief Justice, I am bound to see that the law isn't violated. Ko-Ko. I see. Come over here where the Chief Justice can't hear us. (They cross the stage.) Now, then, as First Lord of the Treasury? Pooh-Bah. Of course, as First Lord of the Treasury, I could propose a special vote that would cover all expenses, if it were not that, as Leader of the Opposition, it would be my duty to resist it, tooth and nail. Or, as Paymaster General, I could so cook the accounts that, as Lord High Auditor, I should never discover the fraud. But then, as Archbishop of Titipu, it would be my duty to denounce my dishonesty and give myself into my own custody as first Commissioner of Police. Ko-Ko. That's extremely awkward. Pooh-Bah. I don't say that all these distinguished people couldn't be squared; but it is right to tell you that they wouldn't be sufficiently degraded in their own estimation unless they were insulted with a very considerable bribe.

A portion of a physical text: A photograph depicts a woman, surrounded by 3 children, using a small laptop. The text reads "Thing you read on a blog might make you angry. They might upset you. Stop visiting that blog. Don't waste your time posting comments. Move on and find a new blog. There are so many fun blogs on the internet. You'll easily find a better one." A caption below the photo reads "There is always another fun new blog to read online."

They were doing XD-so-random humor in the 1870s! (from "That Comic Primer", 1877)
An illustration of a platypus, below which is the following text: "Z ZEBRA. "Is this a Zebra? No, it is the ornithorhynchus paradoxus. He is by the stream. Is the ornithorhynchus paradoxus a species of duck-billed platypus? Oh yes, the ornithorhynchus paradoxus is a species of duck-billed platypus."

Pivar was also present for a number of Epstein’s science summits. Epstein himself was no scientist, said Pivar, the author of Lifecode: The Theory of Biological Self-Organization and an advocate of non-Darwinian models of evolution. (This was borne out in a recent New York Times story that described Epstein’s interest in cryonics and eugenics and his wish to “seed the human race with his DNA by impregnating women” at his New Mexico ranch.) Epstein was a dilettante, and easily distracted. But he pulled so many prominent thinkers into his social circle, using the promise of his money to create “some kind of a mini university of thought,” that in Pivar’s view he did “amazing, incredible, amazing, remarkable things for science.” There were lavish dinner parties with the likes of Steven Pinker and Stephen Jay Gould during which Epstein would ask provocatively elementary questions like “What is gravity?” If the conversation drifted beyond his interests, Epstein was known to interrupt, “What does that got to do with pussy?!”

DevelopmentIn November 1952, several months before the publication of his first James Bond novel Casino Royale, Ian Fleming purchased the small theatrical agency Glidrose Productions Limited to produce a screen adaptation of the novel. After the publication, Curtis Brown, Associated British Pictures and the Music Corporation of America all expressed interest in purchasing the film rights. Curtis Brown later licensed the rights to produce a one-hour Americanized television adaptation for Climax! on CBS.[12] In March 1955, Fleming sold the film rights of his novel Casino Royale to the producer Gregory Ratoff for $6,000[13] ($70,427 in 2024 dollars)[14] after Ratoff had bought a $600 six-month option from Fleming the previous year.[15][16] Ratoff commissioned Lorenzo Semple Jr. to write a script, but both men thought Bond was "unbelievable" and "stupid". According to Semple, Ratoff considered the project needed Bond to be female and wished to cast Susan Hayward as 'Jane' Bond.[17] In January 1956, The New York Times reported Ratoff had set up a
