St. Patrick’s Day has to have The Pogues

If I should fall from grace with god
Where no doctor can relieve me
If I’m buried ‘neath the sod
But the angels won’t receive me

Let me go boys
Let me go boys
Let me go down in the mud
Where the rivers all run dry

This land was always ours
Was the proud land of our fathers
It belongs to us and them
Not to any of the others

Let them go boys
Let them go boys
Let them go down in the mud
Where the rivers all run dry

Bury me at sea
Where no murdered ghost can haunt me
If I rock upon the waves
No corpse can lie upon me

It’s coming up three boys
Keeps coming up three boys
Let them go down in the mud
Where the rivers all run dry

If I should fall from grace with god
Where no doctor can relieve me
If I’m buried ‘neath the sod
And still the angels won’t receive me

Let me go boys
Let me go boys
Let me go down in the mud
Where the rivers all run dry

Huge Black Wolves Videoed running along highway in the Northwest Territories

Markozen.com Animals

A woman driving on Highway 3 to work office in Edzo, N.W.T., filmed two black wolves running alongside her on the road on Friday.
Rhonda Miller recorded the encounter on her phone. She said when she spotted the first animal, she thought it was a man walking down the road.
“I thought that was strange because you don’t normally see people walking on the road that far out,” Miller said.

“I slowed down a bit and I got closer. I thought it was a bear, and I thought, it can’t be a bear because it was the wrong time of year.”

Then she spotted a second animal.

“My body immediately became afraid,” Miller said.

“I was so struck by the size of their heads and their jaws.”

Miller said she followed the animals for a couple minutes in her car and filmed them as she passed.

She said the wolves were running “flat out.”

“So many men have asked, how fast were they going? Had I been a man I may have looked. I don’t know. I think between 40 and 50 [km/h]…  it was fast.”

Miller said she has seen many different animals on the highway, but never wolves.

She said she recorded the encounter because she thought no one would believe her if she didn’t.

“When I got to school, I shared it with the teachers and kids,” Miller said. “Everybody was just amazed. I think just the power of them and the beauty of them, seeing them running like that, flat out, is pretty inspiring.”

Donald Trump’s hair has gone purple

Markozen.com Offbeat

A major crisis has permeated the White House. A cosmetic malfunction caused president Trump’s hair to turn purple. His usually well-kept orange hair is no more. It all started at the Winter White House in Florida, Mar-a-Lago. Donald’s regular hair manipulator Roscico Sandeluseezu came down with shingles. He was rushed to hospital in Atlanta.

The Trump team acted quickly and brought in provocative, yet world renown hair sculptor Vassily Yakamoronziev from Russia. Vassily does Putin’s hair, or at least what is left of it. It is purported that he also does Kim jong un’s hair. As the story goes, leaked by Wikileaks, Vassily got the chemicals that usually go into Trump’s hair concoction mixed up. He thought he was adding anionic crust dye to the mixture when he was actually adding acrylic fiber, woad, indigo, saffron and madder. The results speak for themselves.

White House press secretary Sean Spice said Donald will be wearing a ‘Make America Great Again’ red baseball cap for the foreseeable future.

A Canyon That Fighter Pilots Love To Scream Through

Markozen.com Aviation

canyon

In Death Valley National Park, north of Barstow, California, is Rainbow Canyon. It’s not especially remarkable, just one canyon in an area full of them, all but indistinguishable from its neighbors in an area populated mainly by snakes. But stand on one of the canyon tops for long enough and a fighter jet will suddenly roar into the valley below you, flying fast and very, very low. It will be visible for only a few seconds before it turns hard and disappears behind the next hill. But during those few moments, anyone with a camera has a brief chance to take a spectacular picture. Rainbow Canyon (or Star Wars Canyon, as some call it) is part of the R-2508 restricted airspace complex, host to a busy, low-level training route for combat aircraft.

Military pilots train to fly low and fast, hiding behind hills to fool radar and going fast enough that they can’t be shot at. Since flying is a perishable skill, every fighter or attack pilot periodically has to practice such low-level flights. Rainbow Canyon is in the desert of eastern California, where the population is sparse and the airspace wide open. It’s also surrounded by military bases, bombing ranges, maneuvering grounds and radars—an ideal spot for military pilots to hone their skills. Among the nearby facilities are Edwards AFB, Naval Air Station China Lake, and Plant 42 (where Lockheed and Northrop build advanced aircraft).

Alien Cow Abduction Lamp

Markozen.com Animals, Paranormal, Space

Always the cows getting abducted by the Space Aliens. What do those sneaky Aliens want with the bovine?  They sometimes seem to release the cows, sometimes not.

cow1

Some entrepreneur has come up with a really cool idea. An abduction lamp.

cow2

I have to get this lamp.

cow3

Why always dairy cows? This could be more about milk than beef. After travelling a billion light years and only half way to their destination, the space aliens have run out of milk, they know cows exist on Earth. So why not take a small side trip to the blue planet and beam up some cows, get a human abductee farmer to milk them. Voila, fresh, glorious cold milk. Totally worth the trip.

The Canadian Government has introduced new rules for recreational drone users. Drone user will face a fine of up to $3,000 if you are caught flying:

  • Within nine kilometres of somewhere aircraft take off or land, or a forest fire

  • Over forest fires, emergency response scenes or controlled airspace

Winnipeg no-fly radius from the airport.

The drone operator in the vid below may be over 90 meters (300 feet). And he is over the Forks, which is within the 9 kilometer no-fly radius. Do this today and he would be $3,000 poorer.
