That’s right, Blogmockers. Tomorrow is International Weigh Your Lemur Day, so get out your graph paper and tally sheets, line ‘em up and set ‘em down. If you use a digital scale be sure to cover it properly so that the inevitable little lemur leaks don’t damage the expensive electronics.
I can’t remember how many (supposedly) waterproof scales I’ve had to return over the years. It always ends in an argument with the salesperson, right up until I drop the bombshell:
“Look. This scale can’t even sustain a bladder full of lemur piss. I’ll show you. Wait here for a minute.”
Now, I don’t own a lemur, nor do I have a bladder of lemur piss to produce at a moment’s notice, but you’d be surprised at how fast you can get a damaged waterproof scale replaced with that simple browbeating argument.
And speaking of digital scales damaged by lemur piss, it’s time for The Overnight Open Thread.

Lemurs don’t ordinarily sit/stand still enough for them to be weighed.
If you cover a scale with something, you have to compensate for that by adding the cover weight to the tare weight.

If the law of unbelief becomes supreme, then [they must] make war, wage jihad, and fight until Allah’s word reigns supreme…
By Allah, if the ruler disavows a law that is in consensus in Islam – such as the zakat, or cutting off the hand of the thief, or stoning the adulterer – and the people there agree to this, then they are to be fought as apostates until they return to Allah’s religion. And if the people there agree to enthrone an idol (taghut) as their ruler – for instance, if they elect a president who calls for democracy – they thereby collectively apostatize, [Quran 47:26] ‘since they have said to those who hate what Allah revealed: we will obey you in some matters.’ They are to be fought until they return to Allah’s religion.

GOP Rep. Steve King Says Every Appropriations Bill That Passes House Must Include Language Prohibiting Any Funding For ObamaCare…
Rep. Steve King (R.-Iowa) says that House Republicans should include language that prohibits any funding for implementation of Obamacare in literally every appropriations bill that passes the House of Representatives this year, thus forcing a showdown on the issue with the Democratic majority Senate and President Barack Obama.
“Somebody’s going to blink,” King told CNSNews.com. “It’ll be President Obama or it’ll be House Republicans.
“If House Republicans refuse to blink, we will succeed,” said King in videotaped interview. “ObamaCare will never become the effective law of the land and we’ll be able to leave a legacy of liberty for the future generations.”

The ultimate death stare: New RAF helmet allows pilots to shoot down enemy jets by looking at them
All a pilot has to do is glance at an enemy aircraft and then steer a missile towards it with his, or her, mind.
Targets pop-up in the pilot’s visor, at which point he can select by voice command and fire.
As long as the enemy’s aircraft is in sight – whether that be below, above or to either side – a missile can be directed towards it.
The breakthrough brings to an end the century-old concept of the aerial dogfight, in which one plane must be directly behind another in order to hit it with firepower.
The innovative two-part helmet design has been co-developed with aircrew and logistic support engineering participation.
It works by using tiny optical sensors
‘It means the end of the dogfight,’ leading pilot Mark Bowman told The Sun.
‘Traditionally you have to get behind an aircraft to lock on. With this, I steer the weapons with my head.’
The helmet has been developed by Britain’s BAE Systems and has been subjected to extensive flight trials in RAF Typhoon planes.
A spokesperson for BAE said: ‘An advanced optical head tracker is integrated into the helmet system to provide a high accuracy/low latency solution for low, medium, and high altitude operations.
‘While the system has been designed for the Eurofighter Typhoon, its modular design can be applied to all platforms, both rotary and fixed wing.’

I was speaking about the article suggesting this new helmet puts an end to old style dogfighting, as if old style dogfighting is still the norm when it’s not. So this helmet isn’t going to change anything with regard to that. All I was saying is that most but not all aerial combat takes place beyond visual range (20 miles) and has for quite sometime.
Of course if the enemy is too close missiles are out or if you are out of missiles than guns are in. That is why we still teach the basics Manfred von Richthofen came up with.
