There are many private schools in Australia that aren't in it for the money & even try to help parents who are struggling to pay for their kids. If there were no private schools, goodness me, taxpayers would STILL have to pay... this time for extra teachers, Principles, facilities, buildings etc.

When Rufous returned home after rising unexpectedly from the grave, Lucy knew better than to stop practising the piano. After all, she'd buried him twice already. #GirlsOwnCC

Plato looks rather thoughtful in his cream-coloured tunic and dark blue cloak. Perhaps he's contemplating the consequences of remaining a bachelor in ancient Greece! 😄

Today's Trivia: Married by Order of the State

Marriage wasn't always considered a purely personal choice. In his work Laws, the Greek philosopher Plato proposed that any man still unmarried at the age of 35 should pay an annual fine and lose certain social privileges.

He also argued that a man should choose a wife based not simply on personal preference, but on what would best benefit the state.

Ancient Sparta went even further, discouraging unsuitable marriages because citizens were expected to produce healthy, strong children for the good of the community.

Insulin isn't free in Australia. Doctors & specialists aren't free in Australia if you're working. If you're on a pension you may see a specialist through a hospital IF they have one & IF you don't mind waiting several years or travelling to a capital city hours away.

Nobody likes a visit from the taxman, but imagine opening your door to find THIS fellow accompanying him!

Friday's Fascinating Fact:
Nobody likes a visit from the taxman, but imagine opening your door to find THIS fellow accompanying him!

The Dobermann was developed in Germany in the late 1800s by tax collector and dog catcher Louis Dobermann.

He deliberately bred a fearless, protective dog to accompany him on his dangerous rounds collecting taxes.

That's why the Dobermann still carries the taxman's name today!

I was listening to sci-fi & eerie sound effects on Freegal for an updated Golden Age of Squirrel Horror video. Most were shockingly awful. Then I heard thunder and thought, “Wow! That sounds REALLY realistic!” I heard it again. Turns out a genuine storm was just about to strike our town! 😂

Oops! 😳 I think you can pin that one on someone's stupidity.

Trivia: Dumb Deeds
Titled: It's Safe to Say...

In 1974, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission commissioned 80,000 promotional buttons for its Christmas toy safety campaign bearing the slogan, "For kids' sake, think toy safety."

Before they could be distributed, however, the Commission's own safety tests found the buttons had sharp edges, detachable pins that children could swallow, and paint containing excessive amounts of lead. All 80,000 buttons were destroyed.

Sorry about Mr Darcy💔 I lost Larci, my 18 year old last year. His dementia got so bad that at night (mostly) he'd wander through the house calling out as if he felt lost. I called back reassuring him. He'd likely forgotten the new home we moved into 2.5 years before & didn't seem familiar to him.

I’ve somehow ended up creating 60+ imaginary horror, monster & alien movie posters, all based around squirrels as the creatures. So I may be unusually well qualified for “horror movies with ridiculous concepts” even if they're not real movies. 😂

Thanks for the inspiration of this movie Skip! I'd run out of ideas for my Golden Age of Squirrel Horror movie posters & hadn't thought of blending vampires & sci-fi before. I've made 60 posters & working on no.61 "Planet of the Squirrel Vampires." 17 posters have now been released into my shops.😊🐿️

A milestone, & a peek at what's next. I've now completed 60 posters for my Golden Age of Squirrel Horror series: parodies of old horror & sci-fi movies. They'll be creeping out of the Mystery Woman Studios vault one at a time. Plenty yet to come. See what's been released so far: missterrywoman.com

A square vintage 1950s-style science-fiction horror movie poster titled “The Squirrel From 20,000 Fathoms”.

A gigantic brown squirrel with bared teeth towers over a city, crushing buildings in its enormous paws. The tagline reads: “Atomic testing awakened the ultimate menace.” The title dominates the lower part of the poster in large yellow lettering.

The fictional actors Heath Hedge, Scott Scurry, Mack Adamia and Chap Arral are credited at the bottom, along with “A Mystery Woman Studios Production”.

The artwork has the dramatic hand-painted appearance of a classic mid-century giant-monster movie poster.

I remember being scared out my mind when I saw this as a child in the late 60s/early 70s. I loved it then and still think it's a terrific movie, and have it on DVD. I watched it again just recently, and even today the sound of the call of the ants is enough to give me the creeps.

Those spectacular antennae aren't for better TV reception. They're tuned to romance.💘

Photos of a male luna moth with very large antennae.

Trivia: Those spectacular feathery structures aren't decorative. They're the antennae of a male luna moth. The many tiny branches provide a large surface area covered with scent receptors, allowing the male to detect pheromones released by a female and follow the scent to find her.

Male luna moths have much larger, bushier antennae than females, making the difference between the sexes easy to see.

As a survivor of sexual abuse, wanting privacy, safety & dignity in female changing rooms & other such spaces doesn't make me malevolent, nor does wanting fairness & safety for women in sport. Being open-minded works both ways: we can disagree on such issues without assuming the worst of one another

Does that mean desert snails find museums so boring they'd rather sleep?

Photo of a desert snail (sphincterochila zonata zonata) It has a rather plain white shell.

Trivia: You've probably heard of bears hibernating through winter, but some desert snails have an equally remarkable survival strategy. The desert snail Sphincterochila zonata zonata spends the hottest months aestivating, a form of dormancy similar to hibernation. It burrows as deep as 10cm into the ground, where it can survive temperatures approaching 50°C.

Amazingly, it's active for only about 18 to 26 days each year, emerging mainly after winter rain. Even more extraordinary, dormant individuals have been known to revive after spending up to six years in museum collections.
