Maybe but then the dogs with missing or extra parts, the faceless, misshapen and weird size ones, sitting on each other or on ledges that don’t exist, might look even creepier to you.

After I look at these, I always wish I hadn’t.

It’s nightmare stuff.

Hey, if my tail was on fire because of burning gas (hydrogen, methane, whatever), I probably would crash too!

Hydrogen. Apparently most of the burn injuries were caused by the fuel that powered the manoeuvring engines burning, or so I read years ago.

I remember seeing the Mythbusters episode about this. The dope on any aircraft with cloth skin is flammable. Adding aluminum to it didn’t help.
Their conclusion was that something else started the gas going. Once the doped skin ignited it was all over.

The coating they used on the outer canvas panels contained powered aluminium, which does burn very well.

Perhaps someone can explain to me the optical illusion that the propeller is behind the airplane? Or is that another AI giveaway?

I hope this makes sense:

The circle made by the blades in motion looks a bit darker in three sections.

I’m not sure what that means about the rotation… but there must be three blades, each, because they’re turning, appearing roughly like a long, shadowy triangle, with the slightly curved base along the circumference of a circle.

If you look closely, the thin, somewhat truncated, tips of the triangles don’t disappear behind the plane… They’re attached to the center of the propeller, on the nose.

The picture is back to front. An early Spitfire (Mk 1- 4) Has the air exchanger on the starboard wing. (A later model would have had scoops on both wings…)

My first impression was it was a Hurricane, but you’re probably correct.

You can’t see it here, so I’ll have to take your word for it.

I don’t pay a lot of attention to women’s belly buttons…

But what I’ve seen of her, in general, didn’t look bad for 78!

Of course now I’m trying to figure out what Sonny’s t-shirt says.

For a moment

I thought
Neil Diamond

But no .. that would be spelled wrong.

Well, of course it says

LMO

SusanSunshine

Ah! But to me it says

EL
IMO

Cos I don’t think there’s room for the horizontal leg of an L, plus a space, before the M in the bottom row. They’d overlap.

Check the L and the spacing above it.

What makes it look L-shaped is actually one of his pendants, but it’s a tiny bit too high.

….

Maybe it says “EL PRIMO”

Maybe it says “For heaven’s sake, Susan, find something better to do.”

if the bling were thicker, I’d go with “FREE ELMO!”

IF there were room for the L in Elmo, which I don’t think there is…

It still wouldn’t say FREE…
Maybe it could be “FEEL ELMO”?
Um.. no….

But I can’t think of another three or four letter word ending in EL that would work.😁

Nice try, but i don’t see how you can make that last line end with EL….

And mostly, I don’t think Sonny would want to make Cher that jealous.

I fail to see the problem, Claude. If it won’t float, then it should be no trouble to sink.

But you have to sink all your itunes with it.

If you listen to light rock, like Claude probably does, it might keep the whole shebang afloat.
