A stone tablet in Aneyoshi, Japan, warns residents not to build homes below it. Hundreds of these so-called tsunami stones, some more than six centuries old, dot the coast of Japan. Residents say this injunction from their ancestors kept their tiny village of 11 households safely out of reach of the deadly tsunami last month that wiped out hundreds of miles of Japanese coast and rose to record heights near here. The waves stopped just 300 feet below the stone. (Source)

In 2009, Joe kept noticing food disappearing from his fridge. He asked his live-in girlfriend about it, but she too was perplexed. So, Joe decided to set up a hidden camera in his apartment and film throughout the night. What he found is beyond creepy.

He says he found out the hard way that he had an uninvited guest living in his New York City apartment, sharing his food and drinks, and even going to the bathroom in his sink. The police officers thought it looked as though she had been there for at least a couple weeks, although could have been longer.

Multi-level dungeon built into the drawers of an old dresser

The BEST THING I’ve seen on Twitter this week (month?) is Justin Alexander’s thread documenting “The Dungeon of Drezzar,” Peter Heeringa and Troy Wilhelmson’s spectacular multilevel dungeon built into a series of dresser drawers.

https://twitter.com/hexcrawl/status/1252289754479165442

Heeringa and Wilhelmson built an entire dungeon-level into each drawer, painstakingly painted, staged and decorated. It’s intricate: the “tavern” includes a teeny tiny noticeboard where adventurers can leave notes for one other.

There are effects that span multiple drawers, like a well that goes straight down, and each drawer can be removed and played on a game-table.

But that’s nothin’, because, as Alexander notes, the dragon guarding the bottom level and her lair match the cover of the 1981 Basic D&D box set.

This is so amazing that I am in a state of grace and prepared to meet my maker.

Holy. Shit.

PREHISTORIC SHARK: MEGALODON

Megalodon is an extinct species of shark that lived 1.5 million years ago and as you can probably tell from the above pictures it was HUGE, here are some few facts

It’s teeth were over 7 inches long

It’s bite can deliver from 10.2-18.6 tons of force, enough to crush a prehistoric whale’s skull like a grape

It feasted on prehistoric whales, dolphins, squids, fish, and even giant turtles 

It’s fossils have been found all over the world

No one knows why it went extinct

A reservoir of water three times the volume of all the oceans has been discovered deep beneath the Earth’s surface. The finding could help explain where Earth’s seas came from.

The water is hidden inside a blue rock that lies 700 kilometres underground in the mantle, the layer of hot rock between Earth’s surface and its core.

Some geologists think water arrived in comets as they struck planets, but the new discovery supports an alternative idea that the ocean oozed out of Earth’s interior layer.

Friar Park, George Harrison’s home from 1970 to his death in 2001.

The huge 1889 neo-Gothic mansion, with its grottoes, secret passageways, giggling gnomes, sprawling gardens and mysterious and quirky inscriptions, inspired quite a few songs by the former Beatle. Among them “Ballad of Sir Frankie Crisp (Let It Roll)” (1970), a nod to its eccentric former owner; “Ding Dong, Ding Dong” (1974) which contains one of its many inscriptions: “Ring out the old, ring in the new / Ring out the false, ring in the true”; and “The Answer’s at the End” (1975), of which the title and a portion of the lyrics are taken from another one of its engravings: “Scan not a friend with a microscopic glass / You know his faults, now let his foibles pass / Life is one long enigma, my friend / So read on, read on, the answer’s at the end.”

“Flying Hour”, written in 1978, quotes an inscription from Friar Park’s clock tower:

Past is gone, thou canst not that recall

Future is not, may not be at all

Present is, [so] improve the flying hour

Present only is within thy power.

Wise words. Further, the cover of George’s first solo album ALL THINGS MUST PASS (1970) was shot at Friar park, as were the videos for the 1976 songs “Crackerbox Palace” and “True Love”, and I’m sure you’ve seen that bit in THE BEATLES ANTHOLOGY of Paul, George and Ringo reminiscing in the garden. For George, the mansion was a treasure trove that kept on giving.

Having grown up in a similar spooky and magical place, also with bits of wisdom scattered throughout (“Fear not about what might happen / For what happens is never what you fear”), I’ve always been fascinated by Friar Park, so much that I visited it in 2011. I took this photo of its gate then (that’s not the house by the way, but one of its lodges):

As former Beatles press agent Derek Taylor wrote about the house: “It is a dream on a hill and it came, not by chance, to the right man at the right time.”

There’s some more to show even, so there will be a follow-up later on.
