I was too young for that show, but did happen to catch a few episodes. I liked Maynard. Since it was called Dobie Gillis, and I had no interest in the boring guy, I assumed that Maynard was Dobie.

It’s very easy to mislead with charts and diagrams.
While I probably agree with the aim of this one, I still have to warn that its lack of legend or explanation makes it meaningless.
In spite of the exaggerated differences in lengths and colors of those bars, it seems to be representing a range of -.8 to .8 °C, or 1.6° actual difference.
IF that’s correct, it means a lot to the planet, but not as much as the flashy chart makes you think, by lopping off the bottoms of the bars and making the changes disproportionate.
I’m not saying that’s what they did… but that it would be easier to know what they’re displaying with a word of explanation.
The use of the word “anomaly” requires explanation. Is the pattern of growth the anomaly, or are they referring to each year’s single maximum temperature as being that year’s anomaly. I completely agree with you, Susan.
I need to find one for drought cycles. It is my impression that they occur every 27.5 years with an alternating peak. Mild one in 1900’s, bad one in 1920’s, mild one in 1950’s, bad one in late 1970’s, mild one in 1910’s.
Unfortunately, from what I’ve read, all predictable drought cycles are myths.
Drought depends on so many factors, it can’t possibly be expected in any certain pattern… whether you’re talkiing about worldwide or in a specific region.
I don’t know where your examples were supposed to have occurred…
but they leave out the Dust Bowl, one of the worst periods of US drought on record, through much of the mid 1930s, that transformed the US Southwest, moved a great percentage of the region’s population, and affected generations.
The world wide drought of the early 20th century lasted a decade or so, caused starvation in Africa, and was anything but mild.
Plus… the whole Western US experienced drought of historical proportions in the late 1980s, and again, at least in California, about 20 years later… 2016-18…. and again more recently, I think 2022, till it was unexpectedly broken by very late rains.

Well that was a mean trick! I got nine.
Fortunately I have a timer (the musical selections Nighthawks posts) so I didn’t waste a lot of extra time looking.
🙂 Thank you Miss Susan for the solution and explanation.
I’m with ya, Susan. I could only find the nine, and searched for a ling time for numero 10, only to come up blank. I came here looking for the identification of that same-named 10, but I am happy to see that mine eyes are, indeed, working as they should.
Thanks for the confirmations and the clarification.
P-51 you’re right, I should have given a lower-your-volume warning.
The “turtle call,” as Susan called it, was an integral part of the video (see my response to Susan to see why I think it’s real) so I couldn’t suggest cutting sound entirely.
Susan, the quote below from the United States’ National Institute of Health’s NATIONAL LIBRARY OF MEDICINE indicates that fish can be trained to respond to sound, so if he was raising the fish for food, he could have trained it to respond to the sound.
” No matter the task, the fish is trained to respond to sound (the conditioned stimulus) by pairing it with an unconditioned stimulus to which the fish will respond without training, such as food or an electric shock. The results reflect not only detection of sound by the ear, but the processing of the signal by the whole nervous system in order to elicit the response.”
I have no doubt that turtles can be called.
In fact, I’ve seen other videos of it.
But those callers, IIRC, used much more gentle calls, and the turtles actually came right to them, mostly having been trained with rewards.
….
In THIS video, the turtle MAY have been coming to the call, but it seemed equally likely that it had just been swimming past, or may even have surfaced only to figure out the horrible sound.
It didn’t look like the caller was offering any reward or that the turtle was already familiar with him.
I admit, though… it’s hard to know what a turtle is thinking.

I thought the trick was to teach them to NOT watch TV…
A couple of the world’s oldest teenagers….
I’m sure it’s not a record, but both were in their mid 20s when it started.
I was too young for that show, but did happen to catch a few episodes. I liked Maynard. Since it was called Dobie Gillis, and I had no interest in the boring guy, I assumed that Maynard was Dobie.
I was right there in the demographic….
And I thought Denver looked a little older, but Hickman was a teenager, only a few years older than me.
Didn’t occur to me that since I’d watched him as a teenager on old reruns of The Bob Cummings Show, he had to be older on Dobie.
Maynard was like the Fonz… A funny, odd, breakout character, more interesting than the boring, intended main character.
Both ended up getting way more fan mail than the original star, and thus a bigger role than first planned
I read that Stockard Channing was 33 when she played a teenager in “Grease.”
even more ridiculous was casting 32 year old Kathleen Turner as a high school student in ‘Peggy Sue got Married’

May-be — but why is 2019 longer than 2020?
Why, some years obviously have more days than other years.
Does kinda show why they said we were going into a mini-ice age in the 70’s though…

Skull? what skull?
I was just about to say something about that.
I never noticed it till this re-reading of the page.
It IS meant to be there, isn’t it?
Which skull? The more I look the more spooks I see. There are at least two skulls.
The big one with the moon in the eye.
Yes… the whole center of the picture…
Clouds for his forehead and cheek bones, the bat for the pupil of the white moon iris… shining like an eyeball through his hollow eye sockets.
The arched windows for perfect skeleton teeth!
I caught that the moon itself was one, but I missed that giant one. That’s at least three skulls.
easier to see when smaller
That’s true!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Here I am, my Cleo friends… with your puzzle solution, hot off the presses!
There was a last minute change, but I had to go out at the wrong moment, so I got a little late catching up.
But that means you get this served up extra fresh, made to order, just for YOU!
One bit of confusion… I wrote to Nighthawks, to tell them there were ten differences, but it was labeled nine.
He took one difference out, and sent me the revised puzzle.
I didn’t notice till I just posted it that he had also changed it to read “Ten differences.”
But I’m pretty sure there are now NINE!
I’ve been known to be wrong… Hard as it is to believe🙄.
So if anybody thinks I’ve missed another actual, intended difference, not an accident or a few stray pixels… let me know!
Meanwhile, where are all the solvers?
Did you all find nine already?
…
I mean to say yesterday… I love the basset horse.
Well, I got the nine you found Susan, and spent a while looking for the tenth until I read your post. If there is a tenth, I can’t find it.
That’s a relief! Got nine.
You ask where the solvers are? Still looking for the tenth difference of course!
Nine here…
Well that was a mean trick! I got nine.
Fortunately I have a timer (the musical selections Nighthawks posts) so I didn’t waste a lot of extra time looking.
🙂 Thank you Miss Susan for the solution and explanation.
You’re very welcome!

It looks like he has a rug, or maybe a small stack of rugs, that fit on top of his piano.
Is that some sort of acoustic device, maybe muffling the strings in some way?
