All my hounds do that. Not in slow motion though – that’s a great talent to have!
I spent Reggie’s entire life cleaning slobber off my world. Walls, furniture, appliances, TV screen. And the inside of the car too…including the head liner. Messy, messy boy. (I still have stains on the wood dresser in my bedroom – I don’t think I’ll ever refinish that piece.)
compared to the trenches and shellfire , this is entertainment.
as to why so much fighting, maybe the bloodlust of war is hard to extinguish, once let loose.
He must have wanted/needed to get up there for some reason. Fluffy may or may not have been involved, but is certainly curious about what is happening on her rooftop.
My shorter (albeit incomplete) version: it’s a parody of those color blindness tests where some of the small dots or numbers are in light green and some in pale red, and they’re arranged to form a large number you can’t read if you’re colorblind.
But if you have synesthesia, your brain assigns colors, or other attributes, to things like letters or numbers or music.
So if your brain sees numbers in certain colors, you’d see that some of the small ones above are arranged so that it works like those tests, and you do see large numbers in the picture, but one of them is lost if you’re also colorblind.
Three of the choices are totally impossible, since one or both countries are far west of the Nile.
That only leaves Tanzania and Sudan.
I’ve always been told that the Nile starts in Lake Victoria, and from there it flows north, all the way to the Mediterranean.
It does pass through Sudan on the way.
I thought Lake Victoria was north of Tanzania, but to make sure, I looked at a map, and I see that its southern shore does lie in the northern part of that country.
But rivers flow north there, so there’s nothing flowing into Tanzania. No part of the Nile.
But Google AI and Wikipedia both say…
Because other rivers flow through Tanzania into Lake Victoria, and are thus tributaries of the Nile, the Nile can be said to flow through Tanzania. I say “Okay, if you say so.” I’m no geographer, and plenty of experts contribute to Wikipedia, so….
Capitalizing, or trying to, on the fame of Seven Samurai and its American remake (more or less) The Magnificent Seven… but a decade later…. by using the star of the first, and one of the leads of the second. Plus some pretty ladies for box office appeal.
Much more lightweight than its famed predecessors, IIRC, and never a huge hit.

Quick, Henry, the umbrella!
You have to figure out how to get Rover to perform that little maneuver outside.

no no, of course you can’t . it will forever remind you and make you smile
Every day. Don’t get me wrong, I love all my dogs – past and present – but Reggie was special. He and Dexter were quite the pair.

She certainly does look sad.

And rubber gloves.
I can’t imagine how it feels.

Hot and sticky.

Gee thanks, Nighthawks.
Sigh…..
yes, it’s regretful that that poor slice of pepperoni pizza had its life cut short
LOL… I didn’t want to look too closely, so I didn’t see that it was pizza.
At first i thought it was a pork chop.
I thought it was bacon.

According to several Facebook groups….
“Patients at No. 15 Convalescent Depot at Trouville watching a boxing match, 17 August 1918.”
They didn’t already see enough fighting?

that’s the way the generals want them
Not any with a referee and rules.

One I know. Go figure. Maybe the law of averages has to pan out.
Who else.

Wan’t it shameful to be a stripper in 1915?
Well apparently it’s the rose petals that are getting stripped, probably against their will… so maybe this is trafficking.
This “factory” appears to be lacking any machinery.
All the machinery is wearing dresses.
“Manufactory” Literally “made by hand.”

I’ve had this in my folder to post for a while, no need to now.
“Photograph by Leonard McCombe, Dublin, 1957”
So Fluffy is Irish. How does “meow” sound with a brogue?
Just fine!
Somebody please tell him to come down.
I can’t cos I can’t look.
This photo was taken just before the urge to “Push the thing off the edge” became too powerful for the EWC to hold back!
Nooooo
reminds me of a Christmas animation…look for it Friday

I couldn’t make sense of this, so finally I searched the image, and found out it’s actually a comic…
It’s from xkcd, a web comic I used to read… it even showed up on GoComics for a while, but now, in spite of good intentions, I visit neither.
Anyway… It’s a joke. Kinda funny but not till I found an explanation.
A longish explanation, which I think is interesting, but YMMV, is here…

I’ve been to xkcd.com – it usually went over my head. Like this one.
The website i linked to apparently was made for the purpose of explaining xkcd strips.
They go into more detail about this one, and there’s even an illustration.
Lol…
I didn’t check out any other pages.
.,.,
going with the rivers’ proper names none of the choices is correct.
So the correct answer is in denial?
{snort} 😆
Actually, I’m in denial about the correct answer.
Boo! 😀
That’s my answer too….
But Google says we’re wrong.
I basically agree with Alexi…

Hair splitting at its worst.
That’s like saying the Alleghany flows through New Orleans.
Or since rain from Canada* falls in Africa, the Nile flows through Canada…
*Sorry, we’ve been getting a lot of Canadian rain lately…
Uh oh, Cleo. I see that guilty side-eye at Claude. Let’s remember who pays for all those weapons and ammunition. And legal settlements.
