Eeek! In particular, second from the left in the second row looks more like Easter Satan/Devil... "Eat me if you dare!"

BTW, I have never heard of "Easter lamb cakes" before. Is it an American thing?

Very common in the Polish Catholic Easter traditions.

Here the women get whipped and soaked in water...

Living with a dog is 90% following each other around, watching each other go potty, and wondering what the other has in their mouth.

I read the article: it still makes no sense to me! (...and I know what my wife would think of it. )

The whip is usually made a braided willow bark not sticks and they are fairly soft.
I am not sure who that article was written by but I grew up with this tradition and was never put in pain ever!

From a local article

Heard that the inventors of the ferris wheel and the merry-go-round never met. Apparently they moved in different circles.

"Unsurprisingly, there is limited space for garbage on the ISS, meaning teams on board regularly throw their rubbish out into space, where it falls to Earth and burns up in the atmosphere. At least that’s the plan. But last month, they dropped a pallet of used batteries."
In Texas, we have laws against littering. But I suppose the folks on the ISS consider themselves to be above them.
Space junk crashes through man’s house and almost hits his son

Why would he have a sound recording of it crashing into his house?

Just checked the weather. After a few days of sunshine of partial cloud, Monday for the eclipse (partial here) is overcast with 70% chance of rain. Then back to a mix of sun and clouds.

But in other news...
