Do people eat ‘jacket potatoes ‘ where you live?
Whole,large potatoes,baked in the oven,cut open and then eaten with some kind of filling/topping.
I know they are popular in the UK.In Italy not at all.
There’s an interesting story today about the thylacine (or ‘Tasmanian Tiger’) which became extinct in the last century.
Apparently they found the head of one inside a bucket in a museum in Melbourne.It had been there more than 100 years!
They are trying to use that head to extract the RNA molecules and eventually recreate the animal.
Guys my students don’t know what clipart is. As I was wondering how that’s even possible, I found out that they have been discontinued for ten whole years. How did that happen?? There was a time when no ppt was complete without the [question mark man.](https://www.cleanpng.com/png-stick-figure-cartoon-question-mark-clip-art-confus-1707542/) Now when I google clipart, I just get a bunch of stock illustrations. Are they the new clipart? Damn I am old.
Today’s prompt is journal. I don’t know what to draw yet, but the first idea that came to my mind wasn’t “International Journal of Walking Too Slowly on Six Legs” or something, so there’s at least still hope for my brain.
Recently there’s this disturbing true crime story going around the news about a man in Turkey killing his girlfriend and dismembered her body. He then proceed on to lure a girl he was obsessed with (perhaps with something about his girlfriend as they all went to the same school) to the famous walls of Constantinople. He then proceeded to kill girl #2 and dismembered her body, throwing her head from the walls in front of girl #2’s mother before committing suicide by wrapping a rope around his head and jumping off the walls. I think girl #2’s body was next to his lifeless corpse on the walls.
I think that was enough internet for the day.
Edit: Oh yeah. Wikipedia says that discord is banned in Turkey now because of the satanists and incels on it. Perhaps they should gender segregate the schools next and ban women from going out alone with men that aren’t relatives. That’ll solve the problem.
It’s starting to get quite cold here. I had to put on a beanie and gloves on my way to school yesterday.
How’s the weather where you guys are?
For the first time in my life, I saw a rainbow so close and clear that I could see the violet band! So neat.
Foxes are starting to get bold here. The young are looking for their own territories, so they sniff around and end up in people’s gardens – and around people’s chickens. Our chickens are quite secure in their impenetrable fortress, so I don’t worry about it – but some people find it hard to believe I can have chickens AND love foxes and not worry about them. Babes, secure your damn chickens and you’ll be fine.
