Only the British could come up with a name like that.

In the game named "Star Rail", there actually is a "Genius Society" (most intelligent individuals throughout the whole galaxy !) member who turned out to be an assassin.
Her name is : "Polka Kakamond".
"Mond" is German and means "moon".
"Polka" is a kind of dance music : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polka
And "kaka" ... Well, it's either that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaka
also, "kaka" is also often used by children (often to test out how far they can go with filthy language) as a word for "shit".

Oh, mind control chemicals. Never heard that one.

But if we're talking real chem trails, say, that recent climate engineering attempt in Sweden using Calcium Carbonate, Jetfuel with a little chalk still wouldn't melt steel beams.

That elephant up above looks actually comfortable.

That's actually a selfie I took with a timed shot.

Space Marine 2 has some crunchy graphics, but this still seems a little excessive.

The elephant picture is a bit out of focus, it seems.

Oddly enough, earlies this morning I was listening to a great song featuring that stalwart lizard! One of Blue Oyster Cult's finest.

Thank heavens it's not Mars. (Something more australiaish).

pibbuR who still might want to go there (assuming the wife's permission).

Is that to Mars, or Australia? Oz might be more dangerous (FUN), but it's actually a little closer and cheaper!!

pibbuR who likes rock

A story told to us Geology students about one of the founders of Geology in Germany - the university science itself - was that ages ago a professor from Bonn, which was the former capital of Germany before the Wiedervereinigung, was walking through the Siebengebirge (tiny but famouns mountain area not far from Bonn, located directly at the river Rhein / Rhine) and collecting and identifying stone, rock, strata, that he was very, very dirty at the end of the day - so dirty in fact, that no hotel would accept him as a guest anymore, because he had become infamous because of his dirt, despite him being an university professor.
So, one day, he sent a message to the nearest hotel, saying that "a famous university professor would be checking in, soon". The hotel owners were very happy and looking forward to have such a high class person using their hotel !
What he did NOT say, however, was, that he was the one who was always so dirty ... They found that out only when he arrived ...
