Sorry… I don’t understand people thumbing down comments here… unless, I suppose, they’re rude or somehow unacceptable…. But I don’t think this one was.
It’s possible to disagree with it, because male pattern baldness is carried on the X chromosome, and you generally need two, so it’s mostly passed from your maternal grandfather, not your dad.
But this was a joke, anyway.
An I missing something?
BTW… It you ever do a thumbs down (or up) accidentally, or change your mind, hitting the opposite thumb will erase it.
It’s a Bald Uakari, sometimes called the Red-faced Monkey, that lives in flooded forests of the Amazon basin.
Close-ups like this of its face look a bit creepy, like an AI space alien… But they actually have beautiful long shaggy coats, and fairly short (for a monkey) super-fluffy, non-prehensile tails.
They’re arboreal, and suffering a loss of habitat, considered vulnerable on the endangered species list.
Yep. Damages the pigments in the paint. Conservation of these masterpieces is essential. Digital copies just don’t show the genius of the artists.
I stumbled across a showing of the Tutankhamun exhibit a number of years ago. Small university, very few viewers. We were allowed to use our digital SLR cameras, no flash, no tripod (for safety of other visitors.) But even shooting handheld we got a number of decent photos. A number were grainy or motion blurred, but that’s to be expected, since the exhibit lighting was subdued, for the same reason as the restrictions on flash usage. Still, they’re a favorite part of my collection.
Kim Novak playing a witch and a different kitty.. I don’t know this one’s name either, but his character’s name is Pyewacket, which I’ve always remembered.
in a different movie, which I think is more famous…

The tragedy of male-pattern baldness…
Dad! Great selfie!
Why, thank you, son.
Of course, you know it will happen to you, too.

From Dancing Buffalo, I take it as sarcasm. I’m hoping the guest is doing the same.
I’ve wondered about that! Thanks!
Wow! It’s real!

Flooded forests? So the red face is from holding their breath?
LOL.
The real reason is almost funny… The blood vessels in their faces are very close to the surface… nobody knows why.
But if they only look a “healthy” pink, they’re very ill.
Looks like Mickey Rooney.
🤣

Wayne Thibaud, “Boston Cremes” – oil on canvas, 1962
I noticed that only the “T” of Thibaud was at lower right, so I looked at other images, and this copy is indeed cut off on the sides.

I know this one!
Mary Badham — had to Google i!
She was nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for the role…
She was great, but somewhat understandably lost to Patty Duke, for The Miracle Worker.
Forgot to say… Her older brother is director John Badham, though he didn’t direct TKAM.
Also Harper Lee wrote a sequel in this century, that completely changed the characters, making them more bigoted. Sad, to me.
The stage play came to my area last year. Mary Badham had the part of the racist old lady.

I saw the major Tut exhibition in San Francisco in the 1970s.
Tons of people… one of the first museum shows to issue tickets to enter at certain.alloted times… but once you were in they didn’t kick you out.
This was before digital cameras… My.pictures weren’t great, with no flash… but I bought a catalogue.
It was incredible.

Walter, you wild man! 8 MPH! That’s a 7.5 minute mile. I’ll bet that, even in 1896, men could run a mile faster than that.
I just did this on Facebook — Ulyses S. Grant 1866…
I’m sorry… but… ??

The Crooked House, oldest teahouse in England, circa 1687.
Did it stand straight back then?
Probably a bit less than it does now, but probably not perfectly.

Te only alpine parrot.
Looks like a beaked pinecone.
It was rather damp.
