Affectionate Fish

Fish aren't known for showing affection. Most fish do not want to be touched by humans at all. But Bon Shaw has a Blood Parrot Cichlid that craves human interaction. That fish really loves being petted!

This little guy just loves to watch me wherever I am in the room, he'll do anything to get my attention. And when I look at him he flares out his gills and dances from side to side just hoping that I'll come over to play. If I drop food in the aquarium he'll ignore it and hope to play. I have to walk away to get him to go find the food which has floated away by then. That said, in another tank I have a second Blood Parrot Cichlid that loves me but doesn't want to be touched. It's like having one dog and one cat. You just have to love the differences.

It's a prototype for recycling garbage bags. Flip over gadget so prongs face up. Rinse the large black plastic bag and hang it to dry over the prongs. Future models didn't require user to hold it and rubber tipped the ends so bags weren't pierced.

This is indeed used for hay: for searching hay wagons trying to smuggle people in or out. Most smugglers knew enough to put the cargo down low enough so a regular pitch fork couldn't reach, so they invented this. It is of course German.

On the picture behind the tool a farmer(?!) is using it in a field of sunflowers it seems. It looks like he is using it as a dowsing-rod, looking for water. Or maybe he's measuring? Or planting seeds? Or killing something, like moles, or rabbits, rats, mice, and their holes?

Easy, it's a six-pronged skewer for medieval-style shishkebabs that you cook over a fire like a spit. You put the meat on each stick or you could jam a whole pig in there. Mmmm.
