…… The passenger steamer SS Warrimoo was quietly knifing its way through the waters of the mid-Pacific on its way from Vancouver to Australia…..the navigator had just finished working out a star fix and brought Captain John DS. Phillips, the result……the Warrimoo’s position was LAT 0º 31′ N and LONG 179 30′ W…..the date was 31 December 1899…….First Mate Payton said;….. “Know what this means?….we’re only a few miles from the intersection of the Equator and the International Date Line”……Captain Phillips was prankish enough to take full advantage of the opportunity for achieving the navigational freak of a lifetime…….he called his navigators to the bridge to check & double check the ship’s position…..and then he changed course slightly so as to bear directly on his mark……then he adjusted the engine speed……the calm weather & clear night worked in his favor…..at mid-night…..the SS Warrimoo lay on the Equator at exactly the point where it crossed the International Date Line!…..(now here’s the cool part)…..the consequences of this bizarre position were many…..the forward part (bow) of the ship was in the Southern Hemisphere & in the middle of summer……the rear (stern) was in the Northern Hemisphere & in the middle of winter……the date in the aft part of the ship was 31 December 1899….in the bow (forward) part it was 1 January 1900…..(and here’s the really cool part)…..this ship was therefore not only in…..two different days….two different months…..two different years……two different seasons….but in two different centuries – all at the same time!….now that’s something to tell the grandkids.
“I LIKE GUYS WHO PRETEND THEY DON’T WANT ME”…..Something called a singer named….Tyla said that….well, since you look 12…..and probably 12-year-olds have heard you….get audio tuned in the studio…..and for some reason……they buy your noise….now, I have no proof of that tuning theory…..but going with the flow of…..the lack of talent in the music industry lately….I’m willing to bet the ranch you were tuned….not to burst your bubble….so I’ll just blurt it out….. “I don’t want you….and I won’t pretend that I don’t want you ok?”……moving on…..
DONALD TRUMP THROWS VLADIMIR PUTIN UNDER THE BUS….I bet he did it….when he wasn’t near a window.
LARA TRUMP RAILS AGAINST SPREAD OF SPANISH IN THE U.S…… “WE SPEAK ENGLISH HERE”…..This woman’s brain is like a box of Rice Krispies….snap, crackle and popped….and I’ll say it again…..English is not the official language of a stolen land….it was accepted because it was the easiest to learn…..and if this ranting DNA deficient mutant would take time to learn something….before spewing useless spit….she would know….the reason people are speaking English in Indian territory…..is because the German language lost by….. “ONE VOTE”…..when those in charge were deciding how to find the easiest way to communicate…..and lady, if you’re looking for a better way to spread your racial hatred….the AfD party in Germany…..would welcome you with open arms…..and Belgium…..the Netherlands…..Spain…..France……Austria…..Hungary……Sweden…..Finland…..and Italy.
IRANIAN PRESIDENT’S WIFE: PRISON TIME FOR HIJAB LAW VIOLATIONS IS “OUT OF RESPECT FOR WOMEN”…..This man needs to listen to his wife…..and the rest of the women…..in Iran…..I’m so curious as to how he’ll shut up his wife…..for speaking out of line…..we all know…..in the Muslim world…..women are not allowed to speak their minds.
THE GREAT THING ABOUT RETIREMENT….Is that you receive brochures from companies…..celebrating their 85th birthday…..and they will offer you a 25% discount….on a hearing aid…..anyway,….

DEAR HUMANS…..We have finally reached the pinnacle in life…..when we are not allowed to say anything…..without someone or something…..having a problem with what’s being said…..you cannot voice your opinion anymore…..people are “THAT” sensitive…..like for example…..Dave Chappelle fans walk out after he criticizes the US and Israel…..the national Football League took a knee for Israel…..and forgot about Palestine….does anyone remember when Kaepernick took a knee?…..Israel is banning UN representatives from visiting the country….just to “teach them a lesson”…..after the UN secretary general António Guterres said….the 7th of October attack by Hamas….had to be seen in context of decades of occupation….of the Palestinian people…. SOCIAL MEDIA…..needs to crash for like a year…..so everyone can snap back into reality.
