I haven't been able to find evidence that NASA posted anything with this headline. It seems to come from a jpost article that links to this Facebook post which does not mention elephants.
Which bit is uncanny to you?
Tape it to a wall and make some money.
I use the Firefox extension Save WebP as PNG or JPEG (Converter).
What is it that you want to happen? Sorry it is a bit unclear in your post.
Other way around. Oliphants before elephants. When we call them elephants it's because a long time ago someone talked about oliphants etc.
Could be that the tailbone looks off if you think about too much.
When you say 'pretend' did you physically huddle together in a car-like shape and make car-like noises or did you just walk up and try to order?
TIL there are sequels and spin-offs of Scanners. Thanks.

I went to see this because I had a crush on Janine Turner from Northern Exposure.

Frogs are pretty susceptible to being handled by people. It may well have died from the experience of being picked up.
Fuck the SDA. Join RAFFWU instead.
I don't know about DoD but DoD Source has servers. For folks down under the ANZAC server starts to get going at about 6pm AEST each night with friendly admins to help shoo the dickheads away.

I read the question and discussion started by @haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com and it got me thinking about where Bruce Perens' Post-Open Licence project was at. I missed the news that a first draft has been published.
The announcement from Bruce includes the below summary:
>At the link below is the first draft of the Post-Open License. This is not yet the product of a qualified attorney, and you shouldn’t apply it to your own work yet. There isn’t context for this license yet, so some things won’t make sense: for example the license is administered by an entity called the “POST-OPEN ADMINISTRATION” and I haven’t figured out how to structure that organization so that people can trust it. There are probably also terms I can’t get away with legally, this awaits work with a lawyer. > >Because the license attempts to handle very many problems that have arisen with Open Source licensing, it’s big. It’s approaching the size of AGPL3, which I guess is a metric for a relatively modern license, since AGPL3 is now 17 years old. > >Send comments privately to bruce at perens dot com. > >License Text

Robin D. G. Kelley delivers the 13th Annual Robert Fitch Memorial Lecture at LaGuardia Community College, CUNY. Introduced by Karen Miller, Professor of History at LaGuardia, and Doug Henwood.
Robin D. G. Kelley is Gary B. Nash Professor of American History at UCLA, a contributing editor at Boston Review, and the author of many books, including Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination and Hammer and Hoe: Alabama Communists During the Great Depression. In this lecture, Kelley discusses how Robert Fitch’s critique of American “union democracy” as well as his work on international labor solidarity can help us understand current divisions over Palestine within U.S. organized labor.
One quarter of residents in the French capital live in government-owned housing, part of an aggressive plan to keep lower-income Parisians — and their businesses — in the city.

The two-bedroom penthouse comes with sweeping views of the Eiffel Tower and just about every other monument across the Paris skyline. The rent, at 600 euros a month, is a steal.
Marine Vallery-Radot, 51, the apartment’s tenant, said she cried when she got the call last summer that hers was among 253 lower-income families chosen for a spot in the l’Îlot Saint-Germain, a new public-housing complex a short walk from the Musée d’Orsay, the National Assembly and Napoleon’s tomb.
“We were very lucky to get this place,” said Ms. Vallery-Radot, a single mother who lives here with her 12-year-old son, as she gazed out of bedroom windows overlooking the Latin Quarter. “This is what I see when I wake up.”
