humor  hollyblueagate “if goofy is a dog and pluto is a dog why is one a pet” is the cartoon equivalent of “if man evolved from monkeys why are there still monkeys” zagreus The implication that Goofy is just a more advanced stage in canine evolution is oddly terrifying somehow hollyblueagate theres no such thing as ‘more advance’ in evolution. a dogman isnt more evolved than a dog, just as you are no more evolved than an seagull or coral, they are just fitted for different environments and have evolved as such dimetrodone Goofy is not more evolved the Pluto, Goofy just fills a different ecological niche. While Pluto is just a scavenger and Goofy is an apex predator both play important roles in the ecosystem. thekingmickey Originally posted by kevinarsenault chlstarrbaby Goofy’s a domestic dog, Pluto is a real one. hollyblueagate “Why me? I’m domesticated!” is the deepest rabbit hole of a line in the entire disney ...

In 1861 only 200 Chinese lived in the Eastern United States, of which 58 participated in the Civil War, 5 fighting with the Confederacy.  While a handful are recognized and fully documented, most are nearly forgotten to history.   Perhaps one of the best documented was Cpl. Joseph Pierce (pictured left).  Born in China Pierce was sold by his parents to slavers at the age of ten.  Eventually he was purchased by an American ship captain, who took pity on the boy and raised him as his own son in New England.  In 1862 Pierce enlisted in the Union Army with the 14th Regiment of the Connecticut Volunteer Infantry.  With the 14th Regiment he fought in 34 engagements including Antietam, Gettysburg, and Appomattox Courthouse.  After the war he settled in Meriden, Connecticut, passing away at the age of 72 in 1914. Edward Day Cohota (pictured right) was found as a stowaway aboard the ship of Capt. Sargent S. Day.  Day adopted the boy,...

ESA / David Sing When a planet transits in front of its parent star, some of the light is not only blocked, but if an atmosphere is present, filters through it, creating absorption or emission lines that a sophisticated-enough observatory could detect. Perhaps the most revolutionary find of the past generation, when we think about the Universe beyond Earth, is the discovery that our Solar System isn't the only one out there. 30 years ago, we had yet to find a single planet beyond our own Solar System; today, we're aware of thousands. The rapid developments in exoplanetology have taught us that there are more planets than stars in the Universe, and that Earth-sized, potentially habitable worlds are common. In fact, there are likely hundreds of billions of such worlds in our galaxy alone. But the majority of these worlds are around red dwarf stars: stars where flares and activity are common, and many scientists contend that worlds around these stars should have no...

Camping...With Bigfoot Posted: 11 Jan 2018 01:45 PM PST An un-named caller from Columbia, Missouri wanted to share his Bigfoot story: “This takes place about two years ago (1999). Three of my friends were out hunting by Cody, Wyoming. Me and my friends, we're more like traditionalists. We try to preserve the style of hunting back to the mountain man style. So we have done a lot of research into clothing and weapon use, all that. Well, we were up in Cody, Wyoming at a friend's ranch up there mule deer hunting in the old traditional style. Well, we were up there and we had shot a mule deer. We'd been there about two weeks. We had pack horses and we were cutting this mule deer up to put it on the pack horses and then all of sudden there was what I thought at the time was this animal coming near us. It was kind if growling and snarling, kind of baring its teeth. I told my friend, "Let's go with what we got on the horses and leave the rest." So we wen...
