      That explains a whole hell of a lot…

      I was watching an Anime with Luke, once and commented that I believe that Hiroshima and Nagasaki really fucked up the Japanese on some deep instinctual level.

        The Penrose Triangle, an IMPOSSIBLE figure created by Swedish artist Oscar Reutersvärd in 1934 and rediscovered in the 1950s by physicist Roger Penrose, is known as "impossibility in its purest form." Popularized by Penrose and highlighted in the works of M.C. Escher, this triangle appears to be a solid object composed of three straight sections of square sections joined together at straight angles.

                dead on the street near my door. I love seeing Scorpio in the summer night sky with the lovely Antares.

                Hate these little fuckers

                They look malevolent.

                  Speaking of scorpions, they’re worse than you think.

                  They are scorpions for a reason.
                  Scorpion Mother Carrying Babies on Her Back
                  A scorpion can have up to 100 babies in a single brood. They are born alive, unlike other insects that hatch from eggs. At birth, the baby scorpion's exoskeleton, or outer shell, is extremely soft. They climb onto their mother's back for 10 to 20 days until their exoskeleton hardens. The offspring of a female scorpion ride on her back until they consume her entirely, hollowing her out in the process. Upon birth, the babies immediately attach themselves to their mother's back, feeding on her flesh until she is depleted and perishes.
                  Afterward, they crawl away to start their independent lives.

                            A Timeless Note from Mark Twain About the Jewish People, published in the year 1899:

                            “If the statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of star dust lost in the blaze of the Milky Way. Properly the Jew ought hardly to be heard of, but he is heard of, has always been heard of. He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his commercial importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk. His contributions to the world’s list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse learning are also away out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers. He has made a marvelous fight in the world, in all the ages; and has done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself, and be excused for it. The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed, and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other peoples have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished. The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?” - Mark Twain via Humans of Judaism

                              During the Depression, onions were a common and easily grown and stored vegetable. So, they were readily available and, most importantly, free.

                              Meanwhile, peanut butter was also inexpensive. So, the Bureau of Home Economics devised the recipe for peanut butter-stuffed onions as an easy way for American homemakers to feed their families.

                              The recipe for this curious dish was published in many 1930s newspapers and magazines. It eventually found its way onto American dining tables as a healthy, tasty, simple, and low-cost meal that could be served any time of the day.

                              The mishmash consisted of baked onions with peanut butter filling mixed with stale bread crumbs. These ingredients came together and created a distasteful and disliked dish that people only ate to fill their hungry stomachs.

                                As @jolly posted, there's something to be said for baked onions - as in "baked potatoes." I've made them and they make a good lunch.

                                But peanut butter?

                                Nah.
