I was aware of him but this is an order of magnitude weirder than I’d heard of and it took me a while to even figure out the headline.

This may also be fodder for !nominativedeterminism@feddit.uk.

The deity gets to keep the original data, no harm in allowing copies.

Does that mean we can now phone a god? They probably won’t reply as they’ll be too busy shitposting on social media, but still…

Long version (39 minutes)

Shorter version (4 minutes)

Pretty standard behaviour. I’m surprised Thai police aren’t trained to expect this kind of thing from Brits.

It feels like this is the shabby real world version of a Hitchcock film but in the film you are left unsure at the end you realise the doppelganger killed the murderer in the woods and replaced them instead.

Looks to me like that date is automated and keeps moving forward until a film is released. There’s been no news from a reliable source since 2013.

Very Spinal Tap.

I haven’t eaten alligator but I have scoffed many times my body weight in chicken and Turkey. I do have a Spinosaurus tooth I could nibble on.

Death by Squirrel isn’t the way I wanna go

Then you won’t want to watch The Scurry or this (I don’t think the film ever happened).

Chicks, man, they’ll be the death of you.

Turkey is explicitly backing the Syrian Natonal Army (not the actual Syrian Army or the Free Syrian Army - splitters!) but it’s understood that they were also backing HTS to some extent (although not openly as they are still a proscribed organisation in a lot of western countries) and it was Turkey that greenlit the recent big push as their negotiations with Assad were going nowhere. So, while the West have been scrambling for some influence in Syria (and Russia and Iran have lost their’s), Turkey has been left as the main puller of strings in Syria. Their main concern is the Kurds and they were attacking them within a day or two of Assad falling.

Are we 100% sure the lemur wasn’t driving? I just rememeber the old campaign message: “Don’t drink and drive, hire a lemur chauffeur.”

Pupils at Lee-on-the-Solent Junior School began to sob as he told them that Father Christmas was not real

Which is a bit rich coming from someone who has devoted their life to a magic sky wizard, who has a lot less evidence supporting his existence compared to Santa and, yet, he’s caused a lot more misery and death.

How did you find out he wasn’t really?

My Dad agreed to be Santa at my nursery but the wellies they have him were too small, so he wore his own shoes. I spotted this and freaked out, thinking the weird old man with a white beard was some kind of murder hobo who’d killed my father and stolen his shoes. My folks had to tell me the truth to calm me down.

The CIA did something similar in Indonesia after WW2:

At least he’s not the stepbrother of one of those cops as I hear stepsiblings getting stuck places can take a weird turn.

ShenaNickans?

That sounds like a niche disability - ear blindness?
