Here is an odd thing: something tells me there's a lot more to that gif than meets the eye.

My friend told me if you play "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen backwards, it'll say "it's fun to smoke marijuana"
Also, in one episode of the Simpsons, Bart starts a boy band, and a line in their song in "Yvan eht nioj" which, of course, says "Join the Navy" backwards.

Got to remember the Queen (Band) one for Tim on Monday. He'll love it! Anyway, I saw two strange yet funny car-related things today. One was a small tanker in a playground and on the side it said; BURNTWOOD (name of the comapny); Environmentally Friendly Oil somethingsThought that was bad? This very afternoon, I saw a taxi, in which the company's name is Mayfair. Chucklevision galore.

What I find weird is that a lot of times, I shiver, but it's not cold and there's no breeze. Don't really know why it happens.

The old wives' tale to explain that is that someone's walked over your grave...

It might mean that someone has walked over the place where you're destined to be buried.

That happens to me sometimes as well. As far as I know, it's after the bodies muscles haven't moved for a long time, and need to "jump-start", so you shiver to move the whole body, as it were.

I go with that explanation. I remember a friend of mine wrote a play where a guy never had that shivering thing, and so he was convinced that nobody would ever walk over his grave and so he would never die. I forget how it ended, I think his wife left him.

I shiver like that too. Especially when I am dressed up and out in winter and I'm completely hot.

I read somewhere that you can read any words even if the letters are jumbled, as long as the first and last letters are in the right spot. Why someone would try to figure this out, I don't know.

I was having a look at some photos from Apollo 17 and I noticed a rather unusual, yet humourous, anomaly in one particular photograph (AS17-137-20990). This photo was allegedly taken during Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt's Lunar EVA on Apollo 17, where they collected rock and soil samples that may suggest lunar volcanic activity. See anything odd about this picture? In case you missed it. A human face is clearly visible on the edge of the mound. Fellow Apollo researchres, David Percy and Mary Bennet, believe that all or nearly all of the blatant photographic errors in the Apollo records are in fact deliberate mistakes made by the movie makers who secretly didn't want to go along with the hoax, Whistle-Blowers as they call them. While I personally believe that the mistakes were more likely accidental than deliberate, I have noticed some whistle-blowing in the Apollo record: Jim Lovell stating that the moon "looks like Plaster of Paris" on Apollo 8 for example. Returning to the face: was this simply a coincidence, regardless of where the astronauts really were, am I making something of nothing? Or could it be that the person who built that fake pile of rocks (probably plaster on a wire frame) deliberately moulded a human face as a hidden message?

I think it's most likely coincidence. A bit like the Face on Mars - look at it with the shadow in the right place and the light shining in the right direction, and it really, really looks like a face. But when the light is shining in a different direction, it's just a heap of rock.

I agree, if the picture was taken at a different angle of positon it wouldn't appear, but than again I never saw what you meant by a face.

Let your imagination run and you can spot all kinds of things in the main pic that are enhanced by shadows. Can anyone spot the skull at the bottom of the mound on the left?

Also, there are things that appear to be footprints... oh wait.
