Random photos, comics, etc.

I wonder whether it actually means the FIRST floor?
"one OF THE second" floor might be a mis-re-translation that we might say as "One out of two?"
or would it be more like "within the second floor?"

Regardless whether it is a mistake or just poor grammar/writing skills in English, it's hard to believe that such a thing didn't get caught sooner.

My guess was that for second, read upper (as in, the factory that made this appliance is on one of the floors above ground level). Annoyingly, there are no Google Street View images for Chuangyuan Road, Zhongshan, available, so I can't try to solve the mystery that way.

Still, it's certainly a unique address. Maybe we should change ours to "Newhope Street, Building behind the Costco gas station and across the road from Kingston, Fountain Valley, CA..."

I've read stories before about people receiving mail when the address is "odd".

Someone apparently mailed a letter to MAD Magazine back in its heyday. All they put on the envelope was a drawing of Alfred E. Neuman, but the letter was delivered.

There's another kind of dog?

[Ryan Gallagher]

Sure, maybe they felt the need distinguish from:
"Salty Dogs"
"Hot Dogs"
"Sun Dogs"
"You Old Dogs"
"Dog Days"

But honestly I thought you were sharing it because of iconography. Are we supposed to know that a phallic crystal represents a crack rock or crystal meth? The needle/heroine is pretty obvious... but what are all the others? Snow (Cocaine?).....

At least he needed to ask...

More a random screenshot than a photo or comic, admittedly, but...

Apparently some spam emailer thinks that I'd like to become a witch. Well, I do have a black cat (two of them, in fact, although one has a white patch on his chest, and so may not qualify) and a broomstick. Just a pointy hat needed, and I'm in business. Do you think they'd teach me a spell to magically recharge ICP batteries?

4$ seems like a bargain if the levitation spell works for carrying 70mm film and projectors up 6 flights of stairs.

Seen while stopped in gridlocked traffic on the way home at the intersection of Olympic and Western in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon, thanks to political protest activity downtown causing a section of the 101 freeway to be closed, and consequent traffic armageddon within a 2-3 mile radius.

Maybe the Quality Learing Center could be their first tenant?
