Pulp at it’s best. Many Science Fiction writhers got their start in the pulps.

This, to me, looks like Legos more than anything else.

It’s actually a nice place to visit, but there are very few cities in the world that I’d want to live in. I need “green” around me.

I’m thinking it’s a complicated paper cutting, not a painting.

Built up of layers of what looks l like very nice, thick, textured paper, similar to watercolor paper.

Unless, of course, it’s a painting of a paper cutting, but I don’t think so.

As someone who has used oxy-acetylene torches in the past, if you have smoke from the flame your mixture is wrong, it’s too rich in acetylene. You can create a lot of soot particles in the shop that way, they come down a bit like black snow. It’ll make the workpiece black when you’re welding or brazing, so not the thing to do really.

If you have a basset hound using a torch on marshmallows and chocolate in the shop, that’s probably a bad mixture too.

Call me picky, but I don’t think there should be a cloud of smoke, OR a shiny black welded lump of marshmallow, fused to glassy melted chocolate and burnt remnants of graham cracker, either.

The correct answer is:

f.
Son-in-law

It’s a multiple choice test, so we usually have to choose one of the given answers… especially if it’s machine scored, which such tests usually have been for the past 70 years or so.

In that case…
I am Teresa’s daughter.

BUT…
The Illustration is a picture of a man!
Yet no man is offered as an answer choice.

He could be Teresa’s son-in-law, or even if not related by legal marriage, the biological, perhaps even adoptive, father of her granddaughter.

Her 2nd & 3rd toes are fused together and the lion’s left ear lacks depth.
Anybody get something else?

I’ve looked at a bunch of online AI detectors.
Sometimes they disagree on the pictures I’ve tested.

I tried this image in 3 of them.

One said 35% human, 65% AI. I thought that meant 35% of the content was human, but after reading info on the other sites, now I think it means a 65% chance the picture was produced by AI.

The other two detectors reported 95% and 99% chance of it being AI.

However, one of those yesterday reported that a different image that I’m sure is AI was 74% human. I don’t really know how to interpret that or whether to trust the detectors.

I was surprised to find that that is a real thing, but this bears little resemblance. I think it’s a barn owl.

Ok… I recognized the adult.
I do think, though, that this is not a very recognizable photo…

If you want another chance before you peek….

Try this one…

The younger picture picture confused me.

I didn’t recognize him, and I’m not going to say I would have recognized him otherwise….

but still….

I thought we knew him from childhood on, since he and his brother Beau starred in “Sea Hunt”, with his father, Lloyd.

I didn’t realize there was a long break in his acting career, while he was, among other things, in the Coast Guard.

Oh… Yeah….

He’s…

My ever so funny 11th grade math teacher passed out this puzzle as homework, and said to count the black dots.

I think we still had mimeographs but it worked even in blue.

Let’s make it “portrait”, since Henri was a man.

The question is whether it’s a painting of guacamole, or he used real guacamole to paint it.

I was just thinking (I can SOMEtimes!)

If Cleo sets the panel on fire, it could set CleoandCompany.net on fire…. And the blaze might be able to spread to other WordPress sites!

This is more of a danger than you think!

I recently read that an astonishing 43% of sites on the web use WordPress.

I don’t know how that’s possible, considering the number of non-US websites there are in the world, but I read it in several places (which of course makes it true😁, I know)
But some of the information seemed reliable.

Estimates of the actual number of sites varied wildly … But starting at 400+ million.

I sure hope Claude and Clara have good insurance!
