Heartland

Totally irrelevant, but don't we all need a bit of irrelevance in our lives? Well, don't we?


This is a pic that's circulating on the net; allegedly it's NIKE's latest advert:

it's actually a fake, created by some prankster. pretty sick though, eh? (apologies to any Israeli Heartlanders - I just thought it was interesting, in a sick kinda way.)
full story can be found here http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/nikebomb.asp


Also stumbled across this bizarre picture:

it's allegedly a baby dragon (!) in formaldehyde, which first turned up in the 1890s (some bloke recently rediscovered it in his garage!) full story here http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/entertain ... e=Even%0Ai
'Draconologists', who are dragon experts, are apparently taking it seriously. Bizarre!

nice driveby shooting in LA..

i like the dragon.

that dragon is beautifull. but i love things like that - fiji mermaids, freaky taxidermy, skeletons of mythical beasts....

Hehe me too.


I believe this is real; why would a fake bigfoot have boobies?

Me too. If it's a fake, the dragon's exquisitly detailed, even down to it's tiny nails and teeth.
It was clearly made by someone with too much time on their hands.

Good point.
I don't know why, but I've always had the burning desire to find a tall bloke, dress him in a gorilla costume and produce my own fake bigfoot film.
Any volunteers to play the big hairy dude?

They cal me a big monkey, so maybe I’m your guy.

But I love this kind of stuff to, very bizarre

I'll do it. (I'm 6.2 if that's enough)

Dragons are great. Until they torch your flock in a drive-by. I mean, who can eat that much lamb kebab?

mmmm, You make me hungry, I always say, there’s nothing wrong white someone who likes kebab!

I went out last Sunday and we went to this little Pita Place called Isis. Superb! If you ever pass by ‘Sint job int Goor’ you definitely have to try this joint.

I guess no one finds it weird that weird is misspelled.

Yep- and that no one has come up with a satisfactory shortened version of 'abbreviation.'

I'll get some Gary Glitter shoes then (not a euphamism). Bring me up to scratch.

Does anybody think that dragon thing has any plausability then?

Not really. It's one of the most commonly misspelt words, alongside"misspelled/-spelt".

I just wanted to say that this dragon is one of the cutest things I've seen recently.

Don't know if I've mentioned this before, but speaking of dragons, at Hagenbeck's they had one of the weirdest creatures I've ever seen - the "leafy sea dragon".



Check it out at http://www.divegallery.com/Leafy_Sea_Dragon.htm

Those seahorses are massively weird. They look just like seaweed until they swim off.

I like this thread. I like the fact that someone went to the trouble of making that dragon. Weird, for want of a better word, is good.

You shore like strange things Emma.
I find it interesting, but cute is not exactly the word I had in mind.

I think it is cute!

If anybody finds one hatched in their garage, give ma a call, will you? I promise to take good care of him/her!

i think it's very cute! if it's real, then it's unique and special, if it's a fake, it's a work of art.
