Something I read earlier today that I don't know where to put

Priapulida have been washing up onto northern California beaches.

Never heard of them?

A "common" name for the marine worms is (I kid you not) "penis worms" because they actually look very similar to the male appendage, moreso because they aren't segmented.

I'll let any-everyone who is interested in seeing what they look like do a web search because I don't want to get in trouble for posting these unusual aquatic creatures (I looked at actual photos of them, and they look too much like something that could get me in trouble.)

Someone caused an infestation in a Pennsylvania WalMart.

"What was the infestation?" you ask?

Live bedbugs, plus some dead ones.

One can find articles about it online if desired.

(Belated) Happy National Pet Day to everyone in the United States from the Milwaukee :kitty: delegation! We hope that you got the proper respect from your humans.

Not really read but am listening to.

On The Media is talking about what's going on with the "newest"/"latest" pandemic (CorVid19) as well as related topics.

The rabbi in charge of the Western Wall has curtailed prayers and suspended the kissing of The Wall until further notice due to Covid-19. I hope that people abide the new rules there.

I'd link to the article, but there's something with the Jerusalem Post and sharing articles.

The Harley Davidson factory in Milwaukee has been shut down indefinitely because two of the workers tested positive for COVID-19.

I'm torn between two schools of thought:

1) If they didn't know that they were infected, then I can kinda understand why that could happen and I might let it slide

2) If they did know, what the FOOK were they thinking? I mean, they might've infected everyone they came in contact with at work (more likely they did infect everyone they came in contact with) as well as their loved ones, and the factory's going to undergo a complete cleaning/disinfection.

This :mad: me off royally: https://www.yahoo.com/news/pope-joins-inter-faith-prayers-151925644.html

What irks me is that a group of "traditionalist" catholics (they don't deserve the capitalization imho) are calling Pope Francis to task for joining in the interfaith prayers. Don't they realize that the virus doesn't care whether a person believes in and/or practices a particular religion/faith/spirituality?

Hell, I think Jesus would be participating in the prayers if not going in to help those who need it, especially those who have to work menial, yet essential, jobs (I don't think that I have to enumerate.)

Galling, isn't it!

In a world of increasing atheism, you'd think believers would take solace and inspiration from fellow believers ... but no, instead, they go to the barricades and perpetuate the injustices of centuries.

I've had invites from Muslim neighbours to open-days at the mosque (remember 'open days'?). neighbours at the other end of the street took my daughter to a Hindu festival when she was a friend of their daughter at school. They dressed her from head to toe in traditional garb. She looked fabulous and felt fantastic, like a princess in the movies!

Opponents of interfaith would do well to contemplate the phrase, "For the love of (insert your deity here)"

When I practiced martial arts, we'd perform rei, an act of reverence or even veneration to the founder of the Ryu. It never crossed my mind that this was somehow heretical, but if you'd believe the likes of Rorate Caeli, it is! Utter nonsense, founder on fear and ignorance.

Anyone watching British politics?

We've hit a new low, and every time we thought we'd gone as low as we could, our Prime Minister shows how to sink lower...
