A, bluntly put, very risqué treatise for your reading pleasure.
It’s been around a while, Larry Niven wrote it in 1969, but it has stood the test of time and remains as amusing today as it was then.

From:
“The Laura Secord Canadian Cook Book”
Prepared by the Canadian Home economics association
Published by McClelland and Stewart Limited Toronto/Montreal
ISBN: O-7710-4080-6
 
French Fried Scallops
 
Nine out of ten of Canada’s scallops come from the Digby area of Nova Scotia, home of the dragger fleet that fishes off St. George’s Bank. Scallops have been referred to as the “filet mignon of the sea.”
 
Preheat deep fat to 375° F.
 
Wipe with a damp cloth and cut if
necessary
1 pound scallops
Roll in a mixture of
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
salt
pepper
Dip in a mixture of
1 egg
2 tablespoons cold water
Then roll in
3/4 cup fine dry bread crumbs
Fry in preheated deep fat for about 3 to
4 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve with Tartar Sauce (see below).
Makes 3 to 4 servings
 
TARTAR SAUCE
 
Combine in a small bowl
1 teaspoon icing sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
pinch of pepper
pinch of onion powder
2 egg yolks
Beat at high speed of electric mixer.
Slowly add
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Alternately with
3 tablespoons vinegar
When sauce is thickened, stir in
1 tablespoon chopped olives
1 tablespoon capers
1 tablespoon chopped pickle
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
 
Note from me:
The mixing bowl has to be the narrowest, deepest bowl you have, or you’ll have spatters you’ll be finding six months later.    🙂

So…. how well do you remember the beloved album cover?

I suppose it’s not so much how well you remember it… you just have to see differences between two versions.

But here I am anyway… bringing you the solution so you can see whether your findings are correct.

Hope somebody still (sniffle) wants to check….

and if you do….

Actually there was one that I missed and one that wasn’t, so thanks Susan.

I got 7 really fast, was going to let it rest until I saw that others had gotten nine, so I went back and found them. Of course Paul Mc Barkney is bare pawed.

The Hustle video is a reminder of stupid times. I liked the other two, Especially Queen of Hearts.

I’m claiming 10 differences.

Create to post the tenth…. Hidden by a spoiler tag, of course?

I think the right side of the tree on the left side of the road (from this viewpoint) has 2 differences not 1, making 10. The leaves to the right of the D in ROAD don’t match in the two images, nor do the leaves about midway between the D and the bottom of the leaves match, and the difference isn’t the same in each (can’t claim it was just moved down). But again, it depends on the definition of what constitutes a difference and who’s counting (why I don’t look for them anymore other than a glance – I spotted those 2 almost immediately).

I got them all today ~ a rare event. After reading the comments, though, not a great feat.
Nice to know I can find them all for a change. Nice scene!

If you were assigned to draw a line segment with a fixed length of 3.141 592 653 589 793 metres (π to the 15th decimal; truncated) any increment after the 12th decimal is smaller than the diameter of a Francium atom (0.000,000,000,348 metres) at its largest. (O.K. it’s edited 😎 )
It would be a difficult assignment to carry out.

“its”

That’s what the dinosaurs thought before that meteor hit earth without proper warning due to a tiny miscalculation.

Huh! Yeah….It should have stayed above mine. Maybe because you added the 2nd smiley face?? That would be the only difference other than the additional text. That’s all I can think of.

I suppose none of us will ever know all the mysteries of WordPress! LOL

Got them all! I’m not going to read anyone else’s comments today. I don’t need hear “it was an easy one” or “I did in 30 seconds”. Nope, just going to savor my victory 🙂
