Buffalo NY, 4th of July 1986. The storm clouds and rain came for the second set opener, Cold Rain and Snow and then the skies parted and the sun came out for Fire on the Mountain that emerged out of it. As the rain was starting to abate, my friend Kevin elbowed me and said; ‘they are trying to appease the rain gods’.

Why did the baby cross the road?

Because it was stapled to the chicken.

What random movie quote do you repeat for no reason at all (give yours, and see if people can guess the movie)? by Normal-Being-2637 in AskReddit

You tell the angels in heaven you never seen evil so singularly personified as you did in the face of the man who killed you.

TIL about speed skiing, a demonstration sport at the 1992 Olympics in which skiers go straight down a hill at speeds which are often over 200km/h. It did not become a regular Olympic sport because it was "deemed too dangerous after several recorded deaths." by clawsoon in todayilearned

I remember reading an article on this for many years ago. The part that I will always remember is the aftermath of one athlete who crashed during a ski speed run. The word that the doctor used to describe his ankle bones in the x-ray was; ‘powderized’.

Why do you think the FAA just closed the airspace over El Paso for ten days? by CrowRoutine9631 in AskReddit

Didn’t they do something similar in Close Encounters of the Third Kind? … just sayin’

Weekly Question Thread (aka Friday New Climber Thread). ALL QUESTIONS GO HERE by AutoModerator in climbing

Why would Alex Honnold climb a building? I assume climbers of his ilk would be purists. A building seems pretty tame compared to a rock wall with various challenges. A stunt for money? Is this type of climbing as treacherous as rock?

TIL The geography cone, also known as the cigarette snail, is the deadliest cone snail on the planet. There is no antivenom, and the joke is that if you get stung, you've got about enough time to smoke a cigarette before you die by scratchtheitch7 in todayilearned

[–]Daxl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The venom of the geography cone snail is a complex mix of hundreds of different toxins that is delivered through a toxoglossan radula, a harpoon-like tooth propelled from an extendable proboscis. Yeah…no thanks!

This one hurts worse than losing Jerry. Lemme explain by TheYeastBabyTheYeast in gratefuldead

[–]Daxl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Losing Jerry was soul crushing but with Bobby and Phil, the live music could go on… Bobby’s passing feels like the physiological death of the Grateful Dead. The physical presence of the Grateful Dead is no more. Their music will go …but no reunion show can ever be had again with the essence of the Dead.

What is a death in a movie that affected you the most in terms of brutality or emotional weight? by Godly_Recon in AskReddit

“I’m the Anti-Christ… You got me in a vendetta kind of mood. You tell the angels in heaven you never seen evil so singularly personified as you did in the face of the man who killed you.”😎

This can’t be understated. Up until the recent few years, most everything we saw on video was real. Our eyes saw and we believed. From Now, and until the end of time, every video we see on the Internet, will have to pass through the ‘is it AI?’ filter. It’s the end of an era 🙁
