They look soooo innocent.

But judging by the two I’ve known well…. it’s a scam.

This short 2016 article in the     “MIRROR”     gives the suspected origin of the picture, and has three more pictures of the 70 in the album; which was sold at auction.

DH-4. This was a highly successful British light bomber/scout plane of WWI. It is one of the designs that the US license built (no US designed planes were deemed combat worthy for WWI). I think they were also used to fly the mail for a while.

The stamp below has the Curtiss JN-4 “Jenny”. The Jenny was an American WWI trainer that was built in such large numbers that they were available for all sorts jobs after the war.

That’s what it meant to me, years before anyone thought of “laughing out loud”.

And I also remember when it was teenage slang to put L.O.L. on envelopes to friends, to mean “lots of love.”

You can read the whole story     HERE.     I don’t know if it’s the same “Daily Planet” but intrepid reporter Joan Mason is the star reporter there; and she’s a lot more feisty than Lois Lane!
The Blue Beetle character has had three different versions. The movie Tigressy mentioned is version three this comic is version one (Dan Garret police officer / powers from “Vitamin 2X”).

Piece of cake. Plus the seahorses look alternately like Bart & Lisa Simpson.

But I don’t see a cake 😁.

(I do see a fish, though.)

Definitely a Matt Groening picture, or at least a very good copy of his style.

It’s by “Dudolf”, real name Gergely Dudás, like most of these puzzles.

I doubt he was consciously copying Groening, cos the only element that looks a bit like his is the seahorses.

They’re also in Dudolf’s usual big-eyed puzzle style… but their coincidentally yellow color and spiky heads give them a Groening look.

Funny but in spite of the names no one would call any of those a fish, or circle one as a solution.

Just like if it said to find a horse you wouldn’t circle a seahorse.

English is weird… Though I dunno, maybe they have similar names in German.

….

Coincidentally, I read recently that aquariums, and even schools, have started changing those names to avoid this confusion…

They’re now supposed to be called sea jellies and sea stars, and by their proper names for the others, like clams, shrimp, crustaceans, etc.

Because seahorses are fish, there are, by my count, actually 8 fish in the puzzle (starfish, despite their name are not fish).
Here is an     ARTICLE     by Ocean Conservancy about seahorses (there’s lots of pictures).

LOL…. TOM FLEA!!

He would be in “The Seven Day Itch!”

And just look at him…

Talk about “Ewwwww……”

At least it’s 6 years and 358 days shorter than the itches humans apparently get.

This is another very glamorous role for our hometown Cleveland heroine, Cleo Clifford.

What a star… Though she doesn’t do a lot of this any more.

Cleo and Company productions is big enough nowadays to attract Howlywood and international stars, and Cleo prefers working behind the scenes…

Which I think also gives her more time to be preoccupied with weaponry.

But look at her… It’s not that she isn’t talented and glamorous enough to star in more movies, should she choose to.

She totally fills out that dress… And has those looong (for a basset hound) legs.

And jeepers creepers…. where’d she get them eyes?

I swear my autocorrect does that.

Not exactly that, cos it doesn’t usually cause misspellings, but I believe it changes whole words after I reread my text or comment, and hit “send.”

I write a perfectly reasonable sentence, click “post comment”… and see gibberish. I’m very glad we can edit our comments here.

I tend to hit the space bar too light. The resulting “word” gets changed by autocorrect. Instant gibberish! 😀

Today’s Songs:
1. ‘Some Kind of Wonderful ,’ 2. ‘Stairway to Heaven ,’ 3. ‘Strawberry Fields Forever ,’ and 4. ‘Sunny Days ,’ and the ‘Cheap Thrills Cuisine’ recipe 5. ‘Corn Cob Salad ‘
1. This is the better known cover by ‘Grand Funk Railroad’. The original by the ‘Soul Brothers Six’ is below.
2. Not bad for a song that was first just bits of music on Jimmy Page’s cassette recorder. It was written over time, but I’ve put a picture of the Welsh cottage where it all began in 1970 when the band had just finished its fifth tour of North America.
3. Another picture; this time of the front gate of ‘Strawberry Field’ (not a children’s home since 2005, but still owned and used by the Salvation Army).
4. The song was inspired by the band’s drummer, Skip Prokop, watching his kids play in a Canadian Tire inflatable swimming pool in his back yard in Toronto and having a beer or two (I still have some Canadian Tire money / the stores still accept it as far as I know, but now they issue it as part of a computer program / more snooping for information / sadly, I think even Number Six would involuntarily give up information in this day and age).
5. I don’t mind canned baby corn at all, but why would you mix that and full corn kernels cut from full size cobs? It seems a bit much to me.

Back to yesterday, where

 —comment image    Arfside’s

poem got 11 well deserved likes.
I had to remember how to see them all, so just in case others have forgotten too….
 
1   Scroll Arfside’s poem down to below halfway on the screen (it makes it easier for the next steps).
2   Put your cursor directly over the number 11.
3   When the “like” box pops up immediately right click on the number.
4   When the “Back,” “Forward,” “Reload,” “Save as…” box appears move your cursor to the like box and left click. The other box will disappear.
5   As long as your cursor does not leave the confines of the like box, you can scroll up and down as you wish.

If you’re running a PC with Windows, it should have worked (I went back and followed my own instructions to see if I had made a mistake / from my end I haven’t, so if you are running a PC with Windows, I don’t know what went wrong at yours) .

I’m running windose, and it doesn’t allow me to move from the number to the box without disappearing every time. It allows me to do it sometimes, but not others. Can’t see a reason for each occurrence though.

I hope this makes it a bit clearer. If it doesn’t we can try again.

Of course you are running windose, so maybe the medications are conflicting (you don’t have to smile if you don’t want to).

I can see what it’s doing now. The Right-Click menu on my system has a lot more options which was causing it to cover the whole ‘Like’ dialogue box. Positioning on the screen is the all important part.

I would think it’s more a WordPress action than if it’s Widows, Apple or Linux system or if its related to the search engine.
