Here's a stark example of UK/US cultural differences. Our little one's school had a book/toy fair fundraiser yesterday evening...

In British slang, "poof" is a highly uncomplimentary term for a male homosexual!

I've noticed over the years that pretty much any media coverage of hydrogen energy production has to include a gratuitous mention of the Hindenburg. This one goes one better, filling half the page with a photo:

The ironic thing is that the Hindenburg (and other hydrogen-inflated rigid airships) didn't even use hydrogen in the way that the article is about - burning it, to release energy (when that did happen, it was unintentional) - but rather, to provide aerostatic lift. But it seems that as a readily available cliche to reach for, this one never gets old.

I was recently asked to look over the booth of a theater that closed during the pandemic and hasn't reopened since, and report on what needs to be done to get the place back open. Found in a tool and hardware cabinet:

It can't have been a very happy workplace!

Now, the humor in this topic has... euhm... sunk to rock bottom.

I wondered how long it would be before we'd start to see this sort of thing...

Iceberg lovers go wild over viral photos of the 'dickie berg' off Newfoundland's coast

Photographer Ken Pretty — from the town of Dildo — captured aerial photos Thursday

A man from Dildo, N.L. has captured the attention of iceberg lovers after photographing an oddly-shaped hunk — now popularly known as the "dickie berg" on social media — off the coast of Newfoundland.

"I'm gettin' a lot of response, a lot of reaction to the photo because of its resemblance to ... part of the male anatomy, say," chuckled drone photographer Ken Pretty.

In an interview Friday, Pretty said he noticed from his very first photograph that the iceberg, in an area of the province known as Conception Bay, had online potential.

The berg got its nickname from the term "dickie bird," a Newfoundland euphemism for the male anatomy.
