this is pretty neat. It's Bobby McFarrin of "Don't Worry, Be Happy" fame
some of the YouTube comments: @bwmertz 3 years ago What Bobby is doing here is transcendent. He gives an audience four notes of a five note scale, with no context, with no explanation, and the audience is intuitively able to grasp what the 5th note of the scale is. Not only that, the audience is able to intuitively understand the way the scale continues, above and below the range they were given. The fact that Bobby says this works with audience anywhere in the world speaks to a deep cross-cultural piece of the human experience and how we understand music and ourselves. Something is happening at the fundamental level here and I think it's lost on some people how truly profound this is. @aaravkonidena4850 2 years ago the best part is that the audience doesn't even realise they're in a pentatonic scale. When Bobby went down below the tonic, the audience still knew which note to sing instinctively, and the fact that the scale is imprinted in our minds is honestly so cool.

She'll bring them back, but not always all the way. She looks at me like I'm stupid. "Hey human, get off your butt and get my hair ties so I can chase and find them again." |

She has teeth and claws, and is not afraid to use them. Plus it is great exercise and fun for her, and breaks up my usually boring day working from home.

Go ahead, spit out which branch "has done it by accident (incompetence) on more than one occasion". If the flag is pre folded from the funeral home for a cremation, it is frequently folded wrong with the blue on the wrong side(but still on the exterior). When we unfold it we just "flip" the flag and fold it properly. The funeral homes do this as they come out of the box, or more recently bags, the opposite of how they would be placed on a casket(stars in the left hand of the person at the head of the casket or over the heart of the deceased if you think of it that way). I'm thinking they just don't recognize that they stars are on the wrong side and start folding it without flipping it. That's about the only way I can see it happening. The Private said she had to work at it to get it to look exactly like this. I'm guessing when the Oops happen there is still some blue visible. This is a failure of leadership to train their people. They do the least number of services, so they get the least experience. But the poor bastards get sent out without the needed training. We try to help them as much as possible and frequently do re-folds for them if red is showing after they are done. |

https://www.smithsonianmag.com/sponsored/people-feared-being-buried-alive-so-much-they-invented-these-special-safety-coffins-180970627/
In 17th century England, it is documented that a woman by the name of Alice Blunden was buried alive. As the story goes, she was so knocked out after having imbibed a large quantity of poppy tea that a doctor holding a mirror to her nose and mouth pronounced her dead. (Tea made from dried, unwashed seed pods would have contained morphine and codeine, which are sedatives.) Her family quickly made arrangements for her burial, but two days after she was laid in the ground, children playing near her grave heard noises. Their school master went to check the gravesite for himself. He found that Blunden was still alive, but it took another day to exhume her. She was so close to death that she was returned to her grave, where a guard stood by before deserting his post. The next morning, she was found dead, but only after struggling to free herself once more. ------------------------- There were a series of inventions in the 19th century, which would aid someone, who was buried alive, to escape, breathe and signal for help. Patent No. 81,437 granted to Franz Vester on August 25, 1868 for an “Improved Burial-Case” The tomb is equipped with a number of features including an air inlet (F), a ladder (H) and a bell (I) so that the person, upon waking, could save himself. “If too weak to ascend by the ladder, he can ring the bell, giving the desired alarm for help, and thus save himself from premature death by being buried alive,” the patent explains. Much more on coffins in the article. |
