Oh you knew the song already?
New Tuesday thing. Pun of the day. I have to share all the puns from Punderdome, given to me by a very thoughtful Hostage.
Why were two kids fighting at the prom? (answer later!)
Stomp me
Carin’s cool gift:
Christmas Sunset at Lapeer Creek last night – pink ice:
“And the angel said to them, ‘Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people; for unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.’ And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.'”

Hope Santa brought you what you wanted, but I especially hope for all the Hostages and their families that you have that promised peace and good will as we celebrate the gift of eternal life.
Merry Christmas!
Dwarka? No, not the modern, coastal city. This Dwarka.
There are, in fact two sunken Dwarkas. One just off the coast, and one even farther out.
The ruins have been dated as far back as 10k or even 12k BC, which puts them safely above water until two ancient periods of sea rise as the last major glaciation ended (whether that end was gradual or sudden is hotly debated, with the establishment holding that the ice melted gently over a long time, and a growing number who believe that it came suddenly, and may have coincided with a cosmic impact of some sort).
This isn’t the clearest water, and marine ecology has a way of wearing down most everything people build, so it’s amazing we can see this stuff as well as we can given the time in that environment.
Some columns miraculously still stand.
This is a nice montage set I couldn’t find apart.
Some beautiful steps.
And that’s it for this week. Happy Advent!
