This is a clown shower for children.

Having seen that clown shower for children I will have nightmares 

[Dusty Chalk]

If it's any consolation, that's the water handle, the water comes out its nose.

[Craig Sawyers]

Trust me - that is no consolation at all.

Now collecting donations to replace Craig's shower with a clown shower.

I don't fortunately suffer from coulrophobia, the morbid fear of clowns - I just find the shower really really creepy.

I only once saw someone with a real phobia - gephyrophobia - a surprisingly common morbid fear of bridges, We were doing an organised 20 mile walk for charity a few years ago, and caught up with two ladies, friends, at the start of a long footbridge crossing a four lane road. One of them was in an awful state. Pale, dilated pupils, sweating, breathing rapidly and pacing around. Quite prepared to turn around and walk 10 miles back to the start.

We eventually got her across, with us and her friend in front and behind, shouting "la, la, la ..." and leading her by the hand. When we got her to the other end, she turned into a regular person almost instantly - and with a real sense of triumph at actually getting over the bridge.

So we might be uncomfortable with creepy clowns, spiders or snakes - but a true phobia is something else entirely.

So this was the coolest thing I’ve ever witnessed in my whole life. I’m still freaking out about it to be honest.

Yesterday afternoon, we were outside in the beautiful weather doing yard work. I needed some mulch, so my dad lifts up our extra garden hose so I can get to the bag. When he does this odd looking little creature falls from the hose. (Picture #1)

Long fuzzy body like a caterpillar and these super tiny wings that look like mini Dumbo ears. He just starts crawling in the grass, but I can see he’s kind of struggling. So I move him to the flower bed.  He crawls straight onto the brick below our front porch, goes up about 8 inches, and then stops.

I’m mesmerized by this bug. It is just so strange looking. So I’m sitting there staring at it and this thing literally starts to transform right in front of me. His nearly nonexistent wings begin to swell. Then they separate, two on each side of his body. (Picture #2)

So I’m now watching this thing grow its freaking wings in front of my eyes. Y’all I couldn’t even breathe😲 Then the wings start to get longer and straighter along the outer edges. (Picture #3)

Finally, I see this gorgeous pink and yellow insect, fully formed and ready to begin its life. (Picture #4)

The most fascinating thing to me was that this entire process took just 7 minutes.

Transfixed as I was at 2:30 yesterday afternoon, I did a little Google research and discovered that this particular moth has to pump fluid into their wings in order to become an adult ready for flight. So, that’s the event I so luckily witnessed.

Needless to say, this Rosy Maple Moth gave me one awesome experience. — at Gloucester County, Virginia.

Wasn't sure where to post this, but this amused me in a toilet humour way:

My maternal side grandfather would have been about 13 years old, living in fairly squalid Bayeswater London at the time that movie was shot in Paris.

[Knuckledragger]

Do I have to explain this one?

 

[Knuckledragger]

Eww.  Gross.  Sorry.

This is pretty amazing.  Also, Jerry has gotten so fat I'm worried he's going to die right before our very eyes.

That's wild. Brent needs that so we don't hear every single thing going on in his house when playing games.

FTFY

[Fitz]

What an even better idea.

[Dusty Chalk]

Seriously.  If it’s smart enough to filter everything else and leave my voice, then it could be smart enough with a little tweaking to filter Brent’s voice out and leave everything else.

My dream is closer to reality.

Also: thank math!
