Rosbjerg Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Tycho Brahe is so spinning in his grave right now. This is the reason why he died, not poisoning or a burst bladder, but shame! Timetravelling SHAME! :D Haha, what? This is really random.. what the hell does Tycho Brahe have to do with moose or wolves? Fortune favors the bald.

Rosbjerg Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Wow.. the 1580's were a lot crazier than I give them credit for. the elk had just died on a visit to entertain a nobleman at Landskrona. Apparently during dinner the elk had drunk a lot of beer, fallen down the stairs, and died. Fortune favors the bald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azdeus Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) Hehe, he puts this days scientists to shame that's for certain. :D Imagine Carl Sagan having had a pet giraffe, with a custom made turtleneck! The second thing I learned about Tycho Brahe, after his name, was about his pet moose. Then his metal nose. Ohhh, I had completely missed this; Some modern theories suggest that due to the discovery of the mercury in his body, it is possible he was intentionally or unintentionally poisoned. The two main suspects are his assistant, Johannes Kepler, whose motives would be to gain access to Brahe's laboratory and chemicals, and his cousin, Erik Brahe, at the order of friend-turned-enemy Christian IV due to rumors at the time that Tycho had had an affair with Christian's mother Now, how bad ass is that?!

BruceVC Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I went for lunch today in Pretoria which is another city about 60 km from where I live in Johannesburg.

BruceVC Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Oh yeah, THATS what I'm making for dinner tonight. Bruce have convinced me. Time to go to the grocery store! I love my barbeque, I often watch the Food Network channel and you see these various food documentaries where people travel around the USA and visit various places that specialize in barbeque. I have seen places in Texas, Kansas, Tennessee and the Carolinas that do these amazing barbeque Ribs, Brisket and Streak. They always leave me salivating and hungry Oh and smoking meat looks very common in the USA. We don't smoke meat much, we typically do them straight over an open grill "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

ShadySands Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Woke up early and went for a run around Mile High Read an article about a company that makes pork laced bullets as a supposed deterrent to jihadists and their slogan is peace through pork.

Guard Dog Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I went to the store and bought a fill rack of spare ribs. I dry rubbed them with a rub I read how to make, wrapped them in plastic wrap and put them in the fridge. tomorrow they go in the smoker. I also bought some turkey tenderloins I'll cut up and make jerky for Tommy. For tonight I'm going to pan sear a Tilapia fillet with some grilled zucchini. Then I'll retire to the front porch with a Sam Adams or two and watch the sun set. I'd call that a good day! 4 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithe Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Went to a bbq. Well, it was actually a big kind of "post wedding celebration for the friends and family that couldn't make it to the wedding in Mexico" type of thing. Involved various beers, port and cigars. Ended around a big fire in the yard. Also included tequila and axe throwing. Yes. In that order. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

LadyCrimson Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Lately I've been of the opinion that there are no good movies being made anymore. Y'know, the ones that make you go "Oh yeah, I have to check that out!" ... I surf and surf 100's of titles, and always go "meh, maybe on a rainy day." More likely, my tastes have changed plus all the actors/actresses I grew up liking are mostly gone or semi-retired and I just can't quite get into the new crop. So I ate my Chinese food tonight watching the birds in the trees instead. We have a lot of small song birds, crows, bluebirds, robins, etc. Plus racoons, squirrels, neighbor cats, possums, butterflies .... it's not exactly looking out your window to see deer in the forest, but hey, for the cheaper suburbs, it's not bad. “Things are as they are.

PK htiw klaw eriF Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) I lost the last of the weight I gained during the winter. Down to 183 pounds. I cooked for friends most of the day. Made chicken-fried steak, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, green beans, biscuits, and Red Velvet cake. Drank some nice beer called Obsidian Stout. Definitely going to hit the gym tomorrow. Also my GPU finally crapped out, so I'm just going to build a new rig instead of upgrade and wait for the mobo or processor to fail or become obsolete. Goodbye $1300!

If Beef, make sure you give them at least 10 hours to smoke, preferably using pecan wood. If Pork, you should have bought Beef Ribs.
