Are they real? I’m thinking “no.”

Both are real, the one on the left is a real dog, and the one on the right is a real felted Jackrabbit.

Thanks, but I’m thinking a “felted jackrabbit” is a creation made of felt…

This is true, but it’s still ‘real’ in the physical sense that it’s not photoshopped 😉

“Say what??

From what I could find, the dog is a real Italian Greyhound, a bit of a dorky one, according to his owner.

The hare is a felt sculpture.

Information beyond that was on Reddit and Facebook, and neither would let me read those pages.

Is this what’s called “the hare of the dog?”

And strangely, the real dog is less believable than the fake rabbit!

Some of those already appeared in “The Running of the Bassets”

It would be interesting to understand why the snake got up there in the first place.

If I didn’t know better I’d say a pizza box… But they’re seldom wired to the wall.

Van Heflin looks a bit shocked.

Maybe Jimmy Stewart’s humor isn’t a as tame as we’d imagined.

Heflin also looks as though he is holding a “J” in his right hand. He could be a) spaced out; b) doesn’t get it; c) not amused; d) still thinking about the story Gable told ten minutes before.

Or d) wondering where Jimmy Stewart even found a goat in the middle of New York City!!

Of course.

This is from…
Episode 30. “A Stop in Willoughby”, where a man gets off the train in 1888.

I googled it for my post, but I kind of remembered the episode.

Thankfully, I’d forgotten the ending. Till now. 🥺

That seated actor in the foreground looks familiar. But like so many others from previous days, he’s anonymous. That said, in looking at this still for the eleventy-seventh time, it occurred to me that the conductor is perhaps played by

spoiler?
Tom Poston.
I have no explanation for why I should remember him, or why I recalled his name just now.

Looks like him to me, too …..

But he’s….

Jason Wingreen.
I can’t say I’ve heard of him but according to Wikipedia he played the bartender on “All in The Family.”

I didn’t recognize the passenger either… but when I read his name I realized I knew him from his later roles.

He’s

James Daly… he was one of the stars of Medical Center…
And he’s also the father of Tyne Daly of “Cagney and Lacey”, and Tim Daly, of “Wings”

I always skipped these ones on the IQ tests — pretty sure it’s how I scored so high.

t The answer is…

 
…12 by the website, but 36 ÷ 13 ≠ 3 unlike the other clues.

In fact it makes no sense.

I can’t see the logic when…
Some numbers are three times the number in the opposite segment, except, as you note, 36 isn’t three times 13, which negates the whole premise.

Even if the 13 were 12, or the 36 were 39… how is the order of entries around the circle determined, and is there a rule or a pattern to tell you which direction that 3x relationship goes?

I.E. Why does 5 follow 21, clockwise, and why is the answer not 1.33333 instead of 12?

@ Everybody

Here is an interview with now children’s author     HENRY WINKLER     that aired on CBC Radio’s ‘Q with Tom Power’ yesterday.
How he became a children’s author is an interesting story in and of itself.
The interview is 44 seconds short of 35 minutes, but it is all interesting (did you know he began playing ‘The Fonz’ at age 27?)..
He comes over as a human being you’d like to know.

Several years ago, a colleague of mine had been working all night due to an emergency. On his way home, he drifted over the centre line of the road due to tiredness and hit an oncoming car head on. He was trapped in the car and had to be cut out by the Fire Brigade. The other driver had minor injuries due to the impact and the airbags.

It’s routine after an incident like this, in the UK, that all parties are tested for the influence of drink and drugs if the Police attend the scene (It’s happened to me). The driver who was hit tested positive for drugs (Probably cannabis), so he got prosecuted for that, was fined, and lost his licence to drive for a year. Whilst he shouldn’t have been driving under the influence, it wasn’t his fault that he got involved in the incident.

The justification is said to be that if you’re doing wrong, you’re doing wrong, and should be punished if you’re caught.

Neither the means of catching you, in that case the accident, nor the fact that you normally wouldn’t have been caught at all, should affect your case.

But sometimes the punishment can be affected by the outcome of the event, and it can seem even more unfair.

Dunno about in the UK, but here, punishment is much more severe for accidents that result in death or injury, even if there was no difference in the actions of the participants.

I was rear-ended at very slow speed… I was shaken but not hurt. The police offered an ambulance to take me to the hospital to check.

I found out later that had I accepted, and the hospital found any problem, the driver would have been charged with an “injury accident” … And my involvement in one, though I was not to blame, would have raised my insurance rate.

Had your colleague died in that accident, here in the States, the other driver might have been in more serious trouble, though it probably wouldn’t hold up in court.

Oh yes, I agree. Over here the same is true for injury/death accidents. ‘Dangerous Driving’ as opposed to ‘Reckless Driving’, and ‘Death by……’ added to the front of them are the laws. Minor things are covered under the law ‘Driving Without Due Care And Attention’, which can include eating or changing the Tape/CD in the stereo, but would also include pulling out in front of a cyclist/car because they were obscured by street furniture or another vehicle.

What I didn’t put in the post was the other driver involved wasn’t high, but had taken the drug a some point in the previous couple of days. Drug tests can be quite sensitive and some drugs hang about in the system longer than others. The drug(s) in his system may have been having no effect on his ability to drive.

Whenever I hear the Pointer Sisters sing “Fire”, I cannot help but think of Robin Williams singing to the voice of Elmer Fudd…
