It's an old time dental tool used to keep the jaw open wide so the patient wouldn't bite the dentists when they were yanking out teeth. The pointy teeth were aimed at the patients' tongues.
Pretty much what everyone's saying. On the way to 'there' you are looking for sign posts, exit ramps, street markers and buildings or surroundings that might not be familiar. On the way back, assuming you take the same route, you already have those markers in your head so you don't waste time searching for them but you do make a mental note that "yeah, I passed that before". I don't think optimism or pessimism has a thing to do with it.
A more radical solution may be needed: why not offer legal protections to the ugly, as we do with racial, ethnic and religious minorities, women and handicapped individuals?
And who would want to be labelled as "ugly"? Hands? Anyone? Bueller? ... Bueller? ...
So, of course, the woman has no protective clothing while the men are fully protected. yup Just what I would expect from a male designer of toys like these. Gimme a break! For realism he should put heavy scarring up and down her legs and arms. BTW, the blond guy in the tighty whities? Not a good look. Honest.
I was a volunteer feeder at a nature center and owls don't poop mouse and rat skulls. As everyone up above me has stated they barf up a pellet which looks like a cat hairball. They can be 2-5 inches long and contain skulls and bones and hair. Owls eyelids are also transparent. That allows them to look at things all the time even when they blink. Their eyes look opaque when they blink but they can see you very well. Great Horned owls will also snap their bills very loudly when they are agitated. Very cool birds, IMO.
I have often talked with people about how I thought cancer might be some sort of intelligent alien parasite. It has it's own protective instincts. If it's attacked (surgically, for example) how often do you find that it has suddenly shot off into other parts of the body when it wasn't there before? It has a survival instinct, IMO. If it's small enough to have the entire thing removed then the success rate for humans is great. If it can be 'attacked' with, say, irradiation pellets or freezing the entire mass (if possible) then it doesn't seem to spread so rapidly (if at all). I have no facts to hold up my theory. Just have seen too many people die very, very quickly if they have had cancer surgery. Where it was once contained in one area it's now gone off to other parts of the body. Centuries ago people who had cancer lived for decades before they died if no one operated on them. Just sayin', that's all...
Roseart uses soy instead of paraffin. Soy is great for long burning candles but you need a soft wax with good strong color dyes to have a good crayon, IMO.
Ah, yes. The "link" problem. I never complained about it before although I suppose I should have.
What's my complaint? Here goes:
I come to your site and I see a picture and a brief article 'teaser' to get me to want to read or see more about it. Fine. Now I have to make a choice. How to get to the entire article? If I click on the photo it usually just takes me to a blank page with the photo in the upper left hand corner. BUT not always... hmmm
That's not what I wanted.
Oh, here's highlighted "link". Sometimes I'll click on that and it sends me off on a wild goose chase to some other site where I have to scroll around and look at a lot of stuff I'm not interested in looking at. Sometimes I can't even find the article!
Sometimes theres a link's name like "crabbyappleton" and I can click on that and take my chances. 50-50 I never know what to click on to actually see the article. Makes me feel stupid and frustrated.
How about an actual link that will take me to the article and ONLY the article? A link that I can depend on and know that I will get to see what I'm clicking on to?
Maybe just have a name for it, like: "neatolink" and I will know that I will see the article I'm clicking on and not have to click on everything highlighted on your neatorama page's article teaser to try to find what I'm looking for.

Trying to evoke the 30's HE could have employed a jumpsuit of some kind for the woman, No?? They had them back then too. Just sayin'...

One choice/link to get there. No guessing. Neato!
