I couldn’t believe it either, and my search results were mostly jokes about a spaghetti tree. A few just said it was a tree vascular system… but didn’t explain why it doesn’t look like the mostly straight lines I’ve seen in drawings.
But one link did lead to Snopes.com, where they sniff out myths, and sort fact from fancy.
They say it’s indeed a tree vascular system, but from burlwood, which has a convoluted structure. They consulted a botanist…
Reminds me of the Saint Bernard I mentioned the other day, who was afraid of their cat.
That cat was black, too, adopted from a shelter that had periodic “adopt a black cat” days, with lowered fees, because due to old superstitions, it’s harder to get the black ones adopted.
She already had a name, but she was kind of wild, and scared, and didn’t respond to it. So they renamed her Lucky. She became a nice kitty.
But on day one, she hissed at the dog…. and that was it.
He never ran like this dog… I’m not sure a St. Bernard can… but he’d hide behind a chair.
If he was on the couch, and she jumped up, he’d get off. When she stole bites of his giant kibble, which I can’t imagine she actually liked, he stood by helplessly.
He wasn’t afraid of anything else that I knew about, and they had to be careful cos he could get a bit aggressive with human children.
Lucky was like his kryptonite. Maybe that should have been her name!
She’s an idiot. Kitten. Fearless. Jumps at shadows. Attacks anything that moves. Falls asleep mid pounce. Just nuts.
She might end up being as much of a goof as Buddy.

“Okay, everybody. Meeting on top of mom’s head in 5 … 4 … 3 … 2 …”
“Have kids” they said. “You don’t know what you’re missing!” they said.

Zoomies are fun.
That’s why when i was volunteering at the shelter i loved to go into the kitten room and socialize kittens.
What would you do to avoid being eaten?
Give up hemoglobin?
Or muscles, or eating…
I wondered about eating, cos there seems to be no digestive system.
Beautiful.
Google says it’s a baby surgeonfish, of a variety called the Blue Tang.
It’s also called a glass fish, but there are several unrelated fish that share that name (for a fairly obvious reason) so it isn’t specific.
Okay, so this is a real fish? First I thought it is from Glas like my two pieces …
Yes… a real live fish.
But they’re only transparent as babies… They grow up to be blue, or blue and black.

Wow.
I still think it’s spaghetti — what do trees have inside them that looks like that?
I just watched a video about the Chernobyl meltdown. That reminds me of the elephant foot.

This is from him….
WOW!
LOL!

Both of my dogs defer to Kiki.
Lol…. Maybe dogs are superstitious about black cats too.
And the inner circle moves in the opposite direction.
It works.
Oh, that’s right!
No, that’s not right!
I’m cross eyed!
It’s all about the teeny grey parallelograms that fool our eyes into seeing light and shade, or angles.
In Nighthawks’ image, they’re on the edges of the slightly bigger parallelograms, making them look embossed.
In Tigressy’s, they make up sections of the circles, and look like angular beads.
Motions of your head, even slight refocusing of your eyes, makes them seem to change angles, so our brain thinks they must have moved.

this is worth seeing again
I take it that the kid second in from the bottom right didn’t want to be there? And I hope that was a toy.
Drinking from a water pistol.
Oh! You’re probably right.
Hey, i did it too. Every boy that ever had one probably did. 😀
Not just boys!
I’ve had plenty of water pistols, and I probably drank from one.
We also had cap guns and a few Dinky trucks, and I collected Matchbox cars…
Though I have to admit those were mostly cute cars… model t’s, 1930s sports cars, antique delivery vans and such
Not race cars…. and muscle cars hadn’t been invented.
Today he’d be lucky if the Secret Service didn’t shoot him!
This is probably 1959 or 60, during the campaign.
Bored kid is maybe 8 or 9.
2025, he’s still bragging about it to his grandchildren….
“and I stood right next to him, and my Dad shook his hand!”
small beginnings…..
I love these!
They do such great work.
We’ve seen others before… maybe even this one… but in real life I could probably look at it for hours.
Did you notice that one of the cars has moved between the shots?
Maybe one of the teeny people had errands to run.

My kitten is brain damaged.
Oh my! What happened, Les? 🙁
She’s an idiot. Kitten. Fearless. Jumps at shadows. Attacks anything that moves. Falls asleep mid pounce. Just nuts.

🙄😵💫
Sheesh…. get us all worried!
She acts like every normal cat?
At her home in Brentwood in 1954,
OMG – Corgi in a fur bikini – just TOO adorable!
