Binos: Steiner Wildlife XP 10x26, Swarovski 8x30 Habicht, Zeiss SFL 8x40, Vanguard Endeavour 10.5x45, Fuji FMTR-SX 10x50, Tak 22x60, Orion Resolux 15x70
Eyepieces: way too many (is that possible?), but I do like my TV 32mm plossl, 13mm Nagler T6, 27mm Panoptic and 3-6mm Nagler zoom, plus Fujiyama 18mm and 25mm orthos and Tak 7.5mm LE

Re: Clean, fun jokes... the tradition continues
Gators used to be a protected species IIRC. The population recovered quite well but you still need a permit to hunt them. Our Florida members know the real deal, I'm sure.
More interesting is hunting invasive Burmese pythons in the Everglades.
Man... That's some icky-tasting stuff!

I don't remember the type of snake it was, but we had a 12 foot long snake in our kitchen in Florida, the thing had a mouth that could swallow a 90mm Mak. The exterminator just said, well the good news is you no longer have a mouse problem

Re: Clean, fun jokes... the tradition continues
Yea both are a real thing. Most likely the "Tail Gator" was a legal kill and that was just the best way to get it home to butcher. Too heavy to put on the roof and too big / messy to put inside.
Oh I forgot to mention, they often 'tag' femail pythons and release them to try and locate nesting / mating sites. They tracked one to an old tree stump. It turned out the tracker along with the snake it was attached too was found in the belly of a big fat Water Moccasin!

For just one example, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicxulub_crater .
But when I was in college, I'm pretty sure everybody was saying this happened "65 million years ago." Yes, it has often seemed like it's been a million years since I went to college, but I always thought that was merely a subjective feeling. Well, now I finally have confirmation!

Re: 2022 Clean, fun jokes... the tradition continues
I often talk to school kids here in South Australia about the Lake Acraman impact which was caused by an asteroid similar to the dinosaur killer and left a giant crater in South Oz. (at impact it would have been ~ 80km wide and 30km deep!). It caused a few issues for early life on earth, and it may have in fact been the impact that ultimately triggered the pre-Cambrian/Ediacaran explosion of life forms: so it is pretty cool to have it on our doorstep as it were.AntennaGuy wrote: ↑Sun Sep 11, 2022 3:13 am Lately, I've been seeing more references to the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs as striking the Earth "66 million years ago."

I usually tell them (with a wink) that it was 586M years ago on a Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock... The good thing is that nobody can prove me wrong!

I was tired so I made coffee.
Because I was tired, I forgot I made coffee.
In my fatigue I wanted a cup of coffee.
I went to make coffee and discovered the cup of lukewarm coffee.
Schrodinger's coffee?

Or another copy of you made coffee in a parallel universe and it quantum tunneled into your kitchen.
