So much good, juicy clickbait this week! Nice roundup.
I love the “face when you skip the factcheck” photo meme, regarding the giant killer turtle.
The photo of the woman baking bread in her Texas mailbox doesn’t seem to have been believed to have been anything except what it was, a slightly humorous photo. That’s good.
I really like the “pterosaur photo”, though. I do a lot of wildlife photography and have gotten some unusual shots but this one is awesome in its ability to fool the eye.
And then we get to the true head-scratcher. Congress and UFOs. I just can’t even fathom these lunkheads going for this. We’re doomed if these are our elected leaders. We need to do better.
I'm truly at a loss with UFO proponents. We've been through this exposure and study several times and they are never happy with the results. They refuse to admit that the best answer is that there are no alien spacecraft. (And whatever is seen is classified for military reasons.) But I'm most furious that these congressional idiots are ignoring the catastrophic problems that are real and indulging instead in fantasy ideas. It's appalling.
I recently met a guy who is a physics professor who has taught at some fairly prestigious colleges. In a conversation we had (while attending BlobFest (and maybe this triggered his comments)) he mentioned being open-minded about this “new information”. Especially because even military pilots have seen these things on their radars.
As a former military pilot I tried to assure him that radar misreads things and pilots can be easily fooled by things like weather balloons, birds, or other mundane causes for what they see.
Also, why does no one, especially a physics professor, recall that space is insanely vast, and that interstellar travel is essentially impossible beyond theoretical musings.
Why would ETs come here to buzz around not-too stealthily and/or go and probe random people?
As far as I know the jury is still out on whether some dinosaurs had feathers. I remain skeptical of the alleged photo because pterosaurs have been extinct since the end of Cretaceous period ( feathers or no.)

Many dinosaurs had feathers and more fossils are found every year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_non-avian_dinosaur_species_preserved_with_evidence_of_feathers Some pterosaurs also are preserved with hair-like filaments. This is confirmed; it's not controversial.
The photo is obviously an illusion. I don't think the photographer ever claimed it was real, it was just for fun.
Although an adult lion without a mane will almost always be a female, there are maneless males, especially in some areas.
