It's the End of a Long Week, and I Got Nothin'

I'm behind on everything and don't have time to write, as usual, but I wanted to pass on a few things while I'm eating my lunch.

If you're still interested in the origin of the Fake Hercules Swords, check out Hartman Krug's Sword and Sandals Movie Poster video posted on our dedicated  Facebook group. I don't know at what rate they were making these Hercules movies in the 1950's and 1960's, but if Krug's compilation is any indication, the arms-above-head pose was what you wanted on your poster. The lion skin, present on the Fake Hercules Swords, is absent from the posters. It is present on the Hercules depicted in the Campana relief, however.  Feel free to join the group if you'd like up-to-the minute, open information about all the publicly-known Fake Hercules Swords in existence.



In the interest of historic preservation, I'd like to pass on these two images (both by Killbuck Norman) to add to your Fake Hercules Sword dank meme stash:

Fair is fair, so it's legitimate to pass on this link to a fascinating video that cuts right to the heart of the matter and makes excellent use of clipart images. For added fun, I recommend turning on the auto-generated captioning. Enjoy!

Finally, some of you are no doubt aware of the ongoing discussion on last week's blog post about calcite weathering and the Kensington Rune Stone. As of this writing there are 155 comments, many of which are useful and some of which are not. I was recently made aware that there's been a somewhat parallel discussion about the issues raised in the post in the Kensington Rune Stone International Supporters Club group on Facebook (it's an open group, so you can go and read what's there if you like). This is, I think, a useful statement to have on the record:

If you've been paying attention, that statement speaks volumes. Moving on.

Ahh the double standards: "When they can't bring facts to support their beliefs, they attack the people". So what is he doing in those FB posts - calling people BS and not presenting any facts, while the blog seems to be full of facts (plus much nonsense of course).

"As of this writing there are 155 comments..."

And if you wish to fully embrace the heart of conspiratorial lunacy, 137 of them are mine. Under one guise or another...

Je suis Joe Scales.

"In bed with..." Really Scott? So by that logic, Scott is in bed with Frank Joseph. Maybe a little tussle and rolling around in the fresh cut grass of a baseball diamond, laying on home plate while the sun sets beyond the obelisk. Sacred geometry and all.

Okay okay . . . dosta za sada. This is why I'm loathe to even mention the Dynamic Duo by name anymore. I just wanted to make his current stance toward me clear. Don't make me regret quoting him.

I'm holding you responsible for no fewer than 321 of those 155 comments. Beat that.

321 eh? I will have to run those numbers through my handbook of Masonic codes to see what you might actually mean by that.

On a lighter note... though I'm not a facebook guy, I did check out the string you referenced above. What was absolutely hysterical was seeing Wolter claim that the calcite blog discussion here lacked facts and was driven by "haters" who could only offer personal attacks. He then went on to reference his own blog topic where he relentlessly libeled Professor Henrik Williams in a most personal way.

There are probably more factually accurate and relevant references provided in that calcite discussion by Harold Edwards alone than in any of Wolter's bibliographies.

If you divide 321 by 155, you get 2.0709. If you put that into Google and search, you get this website:

http://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/45371283

The tool, an Iscar - TGFH, 2.0709 Inch Blade Height, 0.4606 Inch Insert Width, 8.46 Inch Max Workpiece Diameter, Right Hand, Single End, Indexable Cutoff Blade, is MSC Part # 45371283.

Now if you Google that number along with "Kensington Rune Stone," you won't get any hits. So tell me . . . who has the agenda and the power to suppress whatever THAT connection is?

Makes you think.

"http://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/45371283"

And it's only $321.00, which brings us back to where we started. So we too can dabble in circular reasoning with our "eyes to see". And more cloning for the backwards movement I seem to have inspired...

HA! I now understand the reason for turning on the auto-generated captions!

I'll always think of him as "1g bullet sir" for now on!

No, thank YOU for continuing to find the humor in beating a dead horse.
