What Not....

Post Turtle
There is a lot of truth here. Think about it.

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher whose hand was caught in the squeeze gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man.
Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his role as our president.
The old rancher said, 'Well, ya know, Obama is a 'Post Turtle''.
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post turtle' was.
The old rancher said, 'When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'post turtle'.

The old rancher saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued to explain. "You know he didn't get up
there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he doesn't know what to do while he's up there, he's elevated beyond his ability to function, and you just wonder what kind of dumb ass put him up there to begin with."
Best explanation I've heard yet.

AMAZING

Structural engineer in action

Whether you're a 'bird person' or not, this is stunning!!!
Not to detract from the sheer magic of it, but in practical terms, how M A NY trips would a bird have to
make with that tiny little quantity of mud/clay it could carry? (and how far from the nest is the source?)
If you take the construction of a "circular bowl" in your stride as instinctive - how the heck does the
bird come up with the windbreak/entrance design that shields the eggs/chicks from the elements -
and at what point in fashioning the bowl do they start to construct it?

















 

Even if you think you could build this? Try it without using your hands!
