It might indeed have been posted by this account but doent appear in public posts. If it has been posted by Eric himself or a family member (a possibility - or a fake account?), it might then be plausible (and not a doctored photo). The mystery deepens. Bad taste or prank, without the original URL, I'll let this small mystery dissipate.

It is quite definitely on Eric's page. I suppose I should have honored his privacy setting on it, Friends.

[edit]
At least one other of my Facebook friends also posted a result from that site. I refuse, on the grounds that it's probably full of viruses or something. (My phone was going nuts today with popups.)

If the site requires that you log in with Facebook, you are giving them access to all your information and allowing them to track you. I don't take part in any of the quiz sites that require a log in.

Love it.


But it does not reflect 100% of it, either in energy level nor vibration. So the cartoon sort of fails. Science can be a killjoy.

Update to original story... Couple who sold everything to sail around the world lost it all when their boat sank after just two days at sea
But it became immemorable for the wrong reasons when their craft tipped over off the coast of Florida when it struck a foreign object.

They lost everything in just 20 minutes when the houseboat sank along John's Pass, near Tampa, after the keel had been ripped from the base of the boat.


Humanity Has Failed: Millennials Who Sank Boat They Couldn't Sail Get $13,000 In Donations For New Boat
The couple is looking to replace their "sunken dreams."
A pair of Millennials who thought they'd sell their possessions and live a carefree life, sailing from island to island on a 50-year-old boat — only to have their dreams dashed when they failed to learn how to sail and capsized their craft — have raised nearly $14,000 toward the purchase of a new boat.

Avon to stop calling in Australia and New Zealand by the end of this year.

Cheers.

And for the first time ever I found an Avon catalogue in my letter box earlier this week (or maybe late last week. Having trouble keeping track of the days).
Waiting to see how long before it disappears.

When I saw the security video, I just started laughing. It couldn't have been timed any better even if they tried.

That reminded me of a video (from the UK I think) from couple of years ago where 2 robbers went up to a shop window, the 1st 1 threw a brick at the window which bounced off and knocked the 2nd robber out, who was standing behind the 1st, but the 1st 1 then threw another brick at the window knocking himself out.

Needless to say the coppers had no problems in arresting them. LOL

Cheers.

This man built an electric organ out of Furbies and the result is oddly mesmerizing

The talking toy that sparked a '90s craze, the Furby has been largely tossed aside by pop culture. But one determined man found a way to repurpose the robotic critters that's shockingly music to our ears.

UK musician and inventor Sam Battle, who goes by the signature Look Mum No Computer, took time off from his typical synth innovations to configure an entire organ made out of Furbies, and the result is oddly mesmerizing. He explains his idea and invention in the video below, but skip to 2:43 to hear him conduct an entire chorus of Furbys through the keys and knobs on his elaborate organ setup. (It really takes that common Furby request "Sing me to sleep" to the next level.)

Man Tries to Build Meth Lab in His Atlantic City Hotel Room, Accidentally Sets It on Fire
A lot of weird things happen in casinos, but what happened in Atlantic City on Wednesday may just take the cake.

According to the Associated Press, police in New Jersey arrested a man named Michael Pillar after he attempted to set up a methamphetamine lab inside his hotel room on the 44th floor of the Tropicana casino. Pillar was, of course, unsuccessful in his attempt to become the new Walter White and instead started a fire that caused four floors of the casino to be evacuated.
