ShadySands Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Chinese woman joins handbag in X-ray machine Staff at Dongguan Railway Station in southern China were shocked to find the silhouette of the train commuter on their X-ray monitors. An online video showed the bizarre incident took place on Sunday during the Lunar New Year travel rush. After climbing off the conveyor belt, the woman checked her bags and left. Extraordinary X-ray images show the woman kneeling on all fours behind her luggage, still wearing high-heeled shoes. It is unclear why the woman was so anxious about her handbag, but many people in China carry large amounts of cash when travelling home for Chinese New Year. Free games updated 3/4/21

He also turned on programs such as ‘Phineas and Ferb’ for his grand-youngins, usually when they were actually there.” --- 1 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

The storm that has been raging across that planet's southern hemisphere since it was first photographed by Hubble some 20 years ago has petered out. And it looks like the big red storm on Jupiter is doing the same. Why the climates on these two planets is changing is anyone's guess.

The GRS though has been observed since at least the 17th century. I suppose it'll be interesting to see if theres any new systems developing as that one fades. Though it may be possible that the cycles that involve the GRS take centuries to happen.
