Saturday Night Open Thread

A few days ago, I had the opportunity — if you call it that — to spend a lot of time driving between court houses, libraries, cemeteries and such in some counties in southeast Georgia. Yeah, genealogy stuff.

Anyway, the outside walking around cemeteries paid off, in that it helped narrow down some stuff, when the info was combined with stuff we got from the court house visits. But, the walking around cemeteries was a little uncomfortable because it was a little hot.

But, I shouldn’t complain. It’s been hotter.

Now, though, sit back and relax. It’s time for Saturday Night Open Thread. Tell a joke, share a link, whatever you like.

This still feels a little over my head, but I think it’s cool that America used to not be afraid to use science for fun stuff like putting people into space.

They Left It Out of the Feature Film, But It’s a Big Scene in the Director’s Cut

In a video prepared for a film festival, Hillary Clinton compared herself to Wonder Woman because she’s “a strong, powerful woman fighting to save the world from a massive international disaster”.

And don’t forget Wonder Woman’s charitable foundation that she used for laundering campaign donations.
