Hmm, add walls between patients and around the back of the stationary nurses platform. Everyone gets privacy until their bed aligns with the nurses station; the patients “make the rounds” instead of the nurses. Finally, the central desk has a control to WHIP the wheel around to any patient who has an urgent need.
I tried searching for the artist, but got so many conflicting results I don’t trust any.
Some credited someone with a crazy name on DeviantArt, and I’ve said here before that I’ve found too many false claims, and too much blatant fakery on that site to trust it.
One site credited it to Ty Pennngton… the guy from one of those home makeover shows. I’m sure he’d be surprised.
And a couple, without naming the artist, were selling it as a 19th Century engraving of a Kraken… never mind that it looks more like a pen and ink drawing of Cthulhu…
The real deal breaker on that one is that the fellow piling rocks is wearing a fleece hoodie, flared jeans, and modern running shoes
Amazon can deliver to a lot of places, but not to 1875.
It looks like somebody just scribbled in some extra ink to make their faces touch, like they’re kissing…. but didn’t alter the shapes or tilt of their heads, so to me it stands out like spilled ink.
British Railway days, so I would say mid 1960’s. The loco looks like an Ivatt class 2MT 2-6-0. Probably a ‘Standard’ although they were a development of an LMS engine, and are on Midland rails. Too low a resolution to make out the number on the smokebox.
Looking closer at the photo, you can see that the boy in red has his own bike, and the younger one rides on the saddle on the crossbar of his father’s bike. This was a common thing. I can remember doing that with my father on his bike.
78001 marks the engine as being one of the ‘Standards’, in fact the second of the 2MT Standards. The class was designed by Robert Riddles, and introduced in 1952 being a very slightly modified Ivatt 2MT, but 95% or so the same as the Ivatt’s they were derived from. It was a good design, and only needed a few modifications to fit it into the ‘Standard’ design. Fun Fact! The first four Riddles ‘Standard’ 2MT’s were built the year before the last of the Ivatt 2MT’s. 1965 puts it very late in the class’s life as they started to be withdrawn in late 1963, and were all gone by May 1967. 78001 was stabled at the Gloucester Horton Road (85B) shed.
Standards were built as stopgap engines to replace the older locomotives that were totally worn out after the earlier global disagreement. British Railways were already looking at dieselisation by the mid 1950’s, so although they didn’t last very long in service, they were crucial in keeping the railways moving.
For info: 2MT denotes a Class 2 Mixed Traffic engine (Passenger and Freight).
An old friend went to France last summer… we rarely see each other, but we finally had lunch this spring, and he brought me a fridge magnet from Paris (time honored gift from travelers, cos mugs are too heavy…)
It’s about an inch and a half tall and 5″ wide, and is printed with 5 sequential photos of the Eiffel tower being built. This must be one of the ones taken at the same time. Hard to tell with 1 inch tall photos… but I’d say it’s in between the first two on my magnet.
I tuned into the MLB “Home Run Derby” for a few minutes.
I don’t understand the rules, and I don’t want to; what a waste of time.
I’ll try the All Star game tomorrow.
BTW… I didn’t usually Google solutions to puzzles, but Nighthawks didn’t post one, and Alexikakos wasn’t around …. where ya been, Alexi?…
I wanted to know what was supposed to go in the &¢%#! box that wasn’t supposed to be a six.
I followed several links that promised the official solution, but none would open properly.
However I did find what was purported to be the official solution posted in several forums …. And I wanted to throw something.
You will probably want to join me.
No spoiler box cos it’s too stupid to guess anyway.
It’s an R.
For reverse.
The table is supposed to resemble a gearshift .
Well, it’s no more wrong or right than any of the other ones.
Maybe like those psyc tests where there isn’t an answer. It’s about how you get there. 🙂
I’m not saying it doesn’t look like a gearshift… Yes, it looks like some gearshifts.
But it doesn’t look like all gearshifts, which take many forms….. nor is that what comes to mind, for most people, when looking at it.
For me, and something like 80% of all Americans and just over half of UK dwellers, gearshifts say something like PRNDL, or PRND12… I don’t know statistics for elsewhere.
And even the person who says she drives this gearshift didn’t offer R yesterday as the solution…. I don’t think many people would think of it, even if we all drove that same car.

but my. question is what is the source of the light directly above?
Just sing along and follow the bouncing ball…
The suns rays striking the high clouds making them bright?
That orange thing is very pretty…. but it’s so messy!
It’s dripping an awful lot of color into the water.
Will it still be safe to swim there??
Sunrise over Lake Ontario this morning. Canadian wildfires are creating smoky skies for those in the eastern US today.
Sorry…

Instead, it gave them all giant heads and heartburn….
And made the nurses so dizzy they fell over.
I’m thinking the section where the nurses are was stationary. But I still can’t imagine how anyone thought it would work.
I think the puppies have a better idea…

You just have to slow it down a lot….
It was designed to spin fast enough to reverse the effects of sagging tissue…. not that it worked.
Like most of the “high-tech” gadgets of the age…

Jackie Gleason and Steve McQueen on the set of “Soldier in the Rain” from 1969.
I knew who they were — didn’t know they did a movie together..
Oops! other sources say it was 1963.
It was a comedy.
tragicomedy , I would say, given the ending

These are usually pretty tedious, so I refrain… But I do believe there’s something really obvious in this one
I see 34 odd images..
Agreed. Well, 35. She is so short her feet don’t reach the ground. Is he cradle-robbing?
I only see half that many: 18 odd and 17 even images.
Which one isn’t odd?
The odds are the ends aren’t odds, so that should eliminate two…
Yes. I said it was obvious

Lazy drawing.

I’ve found this on Facebook. Do you think it’s reliable?
Good find Governor 🙂

Thanks for all the info. 😊
You , sir are a true trainspotter. I present you with the Golden Anorak…
I must respectfully decline your kind gift. I am a rail enthusiast, not a train spotter 😉
Funny coincidence… (Though don’t forget I’m easily amused)….

Oops there are seven…. I wasn’t looking at it when I said five
It’s pretty amazing with the technology of the day that all four legs met right where they were supposed to.
It’s embarrassing when something that big wobbles…

Right.
It does…
That takes a certain type of mind to come up with a puzzle like that, especially when posted on a site frequented mostly by persons from the USA.
Although it could also be blank as I’ve driven vehicles that have had the pattern:
Mazda 121, 1988.
My actual car.
Well, it’s no more wrong or right than any of the other ones.
Maybe like those psyc tests where there isn’t an answer. It’s about how you get there. 🙂
In the same lost-in-limbo you were.
Might as well play a song mentioning gears…
I’m not saying it doesn’t look like a gearshift… Yes, it looks like some gearshifts.
But it doesn’t look like all gearshifts, which take many forms….. nor is that what comes to mind, for most people, when looking at it.

And even the person who says she drives this gearshift didn’t offer R yesterday as the solution…. I don’t think many people would think of it, even if we all drove that same car.
I just think it’s an annoying puzzle!
Every Bug i ever drove the R was on the left.
I just tried — I can still run the gears on a column shift in my mind!
Cheesy joke time! 😀
Interesting.
I wonder if in today’s world it could even get a valid public road certification anywhere.
It didn’t in yesterday’s world.
It was an unproduced prototype.
Somewhere near the end, after saying what it brought at an auction, the narrator says it never legally drove on a road.
