PizzaQ! What? Where? Who? When? / extra credit: Why? / new Ministry rule: Cheaters will be Severely Punished & their Robots seized & destroyed

Click image to enlarge.

The Vleeptron Ministry of Pizza is Not Happy since it discovered that anybody and his or her second cousin once removed can identify any image on the web by typing a few simple abracadabras, and then scratching their dupa for a few seconds while Robots search the entire Internet and grab the doppleganger of the PizzaQ image, and drop it in your dupa-scratching lazy cheating lap.



It's a Global Fiesta for Not-Honorable Pizza lusters. The Fiesta celebrates Rosie Ruiz, patron saint of all cheaters.


BUT ... VMP has yet to investigate the loopholes and limitations of this Cheating Technique, so maybe even Klaas van Rotterdam can't figure this one out.

(Would putting colored polka dots in random places in the PizzaQ image defeat the cheat? Watch for future PizzaQs with polka dots.)

But anyway ... Honest Guessers or Cheaters, Upright Vleeptroids or Downleft Yobbos and Hoons ...

* What's this?

(Specifically, the structure in the green inset. It has a name, what's its name?)

* Where is it?

* Who built it? About when?


Okay, now the rest of this site -- all the stuff EXCEPT the Mystery Structure -- is laid out in perfectly rectangular fashion. 90°,
90°, 90°... (or π/2, π/2, π/2 ... if you're happier with radians. I can give it to you in rads, if you want.)

Only the Mystery Structure is built at an obvious skew to the rest of the rectangular design. And it has a corner arrow.

*** Super Extra Credit: What's the arrow pointing to?

Okay, after it knocks you down and speeds away, the cop will ask you what kind of car it was.

What kind of car was it?

the ship is sinking / the ship is sinking / Abandon Ship! / jump into boiling ocean of hot gas / Game Over / Kick 'em Jenny the seamount pops her cork / you won't die boringly -- you will PERISH!!!

PatfromCH, Agence-Vleeptron Presse's Mensch-on-the-Ground in Helvetia, guessed the above PizzaQ, but will not tell us how he guessed it, and does not want the pizza.

I was slow to announce the Correct Answer to the PizzaQ -- what they call "the reveal" on "Ghost Hunters" -- but Nature has kicked me in the tuchas today, so now I MUST give the PizzaQ answer.

This wtf object is Kick 'em Jenny, a famous active underwater volcano or seamount in the Caribbean.

 And LO! Kick-em-Jenny just blew her top!!!

Flee for your Lives!!!

On the other hand, if you're on a boat floating above Kick 'em Jenny, don't bother to flee for your life. Don't jump off the boat. Don't stay on the boat. Just soil yourself and Think of Mom. Game Over.

Warning issued as Kick 'em Jenny volcano 

in  Caribbean off Grenada 

threatens to erupt 

and could cause ships to sink without trace

  • Underwater volcano is expected to erupt at any time within 24 hour period
  • Could trigger tsunami and cause hot rocks to be shot three miles in the air
  • Before erupting goes through degassing process which puts ships at risk
  • When that happened in 1944, passenger ship sunk after losing buoyancy - killing 60 people  

An underwater volcano off the Caribbean coast is on the verge of erupting - posing a risk to all passing ships.

Named Kick 'em Jenny, the volcano - which sits 180m below sea level off the northern coast of Grenada - has produced no less than 200 small earthquakes since it began stirring on July 11.

However, experts at the University of the West Indies' Seismic Research Centre have raised its threat level to orange, predicting that it could erupt at any point.

If it were to, then both passing ships and nearby islands will be in danger of being hit by a tsunami.

Scientists say the risk is relatively low, but both shipping and marine vessels in the region have been urged to take heed, with recreational ships ordered to stay at least 3 miles from the summit.

Submarine volcanoes are known to release intense amounts of gas when they erupt, and in between such release gas bubbles in a process known as degassing.

These bubbles lower water density, thus causing ships to lose buoyancy and sink.
Any eruption could also see Kick 'em Jenny spout hot rocks out of the water and as much as three miles into the air.

They then pose a significant risk to ships caught in the vicinity.

In 1944, degassing from Kick 'em Jenny caused a passenger vessel to sink, killing 60 people. 

Its last eruption was in 14 years ago, in 2001.

the Promised PizzaQ Hint / The Thing / now with Pretty Colors! / Hint to the Clueless, by Moshe ben Maimon / al-Saladin takes 2 Ibuprofen and calls Maimonides in the morning

Vleeptron promised to maybe, if you're nice and send Bitcoin, offer a HINT to the CLUELESS regarding the most recent wtf? PizzaQ. 

("Hint to the Clueless" is the title of a classic of Jewish wisdom by Moshe ben Maimon, a.k.a. Moses Maimonides, physician to al-Saladin.)

Our Mensch-on-the-Ground in Helvetia solved this PizzaQ, but will not tell us How, and says he doesn't want our lousy Pizza. So the Pizza is still available for the first Correct Solution.

The 2 Things above are The Same Thing. The Left Thing has pretty colors, and some capital letters and positive non-zero integers. And 2 arrows.

As the Helvetian Mensch indicated, these images of The Thing were obtained by a New Scientific Technique never previously used to examine These Kinds of Things. Without the work of these Boffins, Vleeptron would have No Thing to show the blogosphere. The previous Best Image of This Kind of Thing was like the image of a polar bear in an Arctic blizzard, or a black cat in a coal bin.

So now you know Everything There Is to Know about The Thing, so giving it its Name and its Locus should be a Walk In The Park. The Pizza is practically in your mouth.

You can do this. You're smart.

Alternatively, if you can't do this, you're Not Smart.

This set seems to be for sale at Christie's. Bring money.

Who our close neighbors/Nachbarn are probably does taint/flavor/contaminate one's Weltanschauung ... but I am beginning to think too many strolls with Herr Doktor Jung -- I guess you called him Carl when you picked mushrooms in Elfenau -- have perhaps affected the way you grapple with and lunge at tough PizzaQs.

BUT ... you have indeed sniffed a distant connection that is indeed a valid aspect of The True Answer


(But still no pizza, not even a complimentary piece of garlic bread while you continue to tear your hair out and look for Klaas' fone number.)

... something like the bomb-and-drug-sniffing dog in the airport waiting lounge who got very excited at my wife's purse ... the paramilitary handler blushed and apologized, the doggie had made straight for a hidden wrapped tasty homemade sandwich. He does that frequently, explained the annoyed handler.

(btw, all the world's best sniff dogs speak only deutsches. This is true. Do not try to communicate with or distract your sniffer guard dog in French or English or Ladino or Papiamento.)

Twin small cities -- too lazy to look at map, but probably like Pest and Buda, separated by a river -- in the southern part of Illinois are Champaign and Urbana. Or Urbana-Champaign (often connected with the dash and considered as one city).


========================

GEOGRAPHY
CORRECTION &
RESEARCH UPDATE

Champaign is the COUNTY. 


Urbana, a pretty big CITY, is the County Seat.

(So if you're looking for hot Saturday Night Action, park the rental car in downtown Urbana. Send me a postcard.)

========================


To the ignorant and blind, Champaign-Urbana IL are/is the World's Capital of Boring Nothing. (They do have a big summer Corn [maize] Festival, a pal brought me back the t-shirt.) 


I cannot imagine the screaming horror of being a teenager in Champaign or Urbana.

But as you and Herr Doktor Jung have pointed out, there is more to Urbana than meets the eye.

Urbana-Champaign may actually be the world's capital of Not Nothing.

The Vleeptron Ministry of Pizza (MoP) can say no more at this time.

* * *

oh, my neighbors and their effects on my Weltanschauung -- 30 years of living 5 miles from
Emily Dickinson ... well, this has a very heavy and entirely negative effect on the nicer parts of the human geest, and it doesn't help my lichaam either.


J’en ai assez d’être seul chez-moi
Ç a crève le coeur et puis le foie
J’éloigne les chiens
J’effraie les chats
J’fais peur aux petits enfants


Every year on Emily's birthday, you have to cross the street carefully so you will not be run over by big tour busses packed with Japanese (not Japanese-American, not Issei, Nisei or Sansei) Emily Pilgrims.

The same unexpected busses of pilgrims clog the parking lot of Green Gables (where Anne lived) on the north coast of Prince Edward Island.

Is it a crime to want to brutally murder a neighbor who died in 1886? Some religions very clearly say that the Sin is not in the Act, but in the Desire. You just think about it one time, and Straight to Hell Forever for you, boyo.

"הדיון על תקיפה מחזק את אירן"

רגע לפני פרסום הדוח החדש של הסוכנות הבינלאומית לאנרגיה אטומית, הצפוי לקבוע רשמית כי אירן מנסה לפתח נשק גרעיני, מנסה שר החוץ הגרמני לקרר את הרוחות. "אני מזהיר מפני הצפת הרעיון של אופציות צבאיות", אמר השר גידו וסטרוולה בראיון לעיתון מקומי, "יש דיונים.. שמחזקים את המנהיגות האירנית במקום להחליש אותה"

דיון ציבורי אודות תקיפה באירן הוא מסוכן והוא מחזק את המשטר בטהרן יותר מאשר מחליש אותו – כך מזהיר היום שר החוץ הגרמני בראיון לעיתון מקומי.

בעוד הדיון בשאלת התקיפה באירן נמשך ברחבי העולם, לקראת פרסום הדוח החדש של הסוכנות הבינלאומית לאנרגיה אטומית שצפוי לקבוע כי נמצאו הוכחות לתכנין גרעין לשימוש צבאי, מגיעה התבטאות רשמית בנושא דווקא מבעלת בריתה הקרובה של ישראל באירופה.

"אני מזהיר מפני הצפת הרעיון של אופציות צבאיות", אמר השר גידו וסטרוולה בראיון לעיתון "המבורגר אבנבלאט". "יש דיונים.. שמחזקים את המנהיגות האירנית במקום להחליש אותה".

עם זאת, שר החוץ הגרמני הדגיש כי אם אירן לא תשתף פעולה, "הקהילה הבינלאומית לא תחזור ל'עסקים כרגיל'. לאירן יש את הזכות להשתמש באנרגיה גרעינית למטרות אזרחיות, אך גם את החובה שלא לעשות זאת לצרכים צבאיים". בכיר ברוסיה: "לא נזיל דמעה אם אירן תותקף"
בהתבטאות נדירה המנוגדת לעמדה הפומבית של מוסקבה כלפי הקהילה הבינלאומית, אמר בכיר רוסי כי "לא נזיל דמעה אם אתרי הגרעין של אירן יותקפו" והוסיף כי "ישראל לא תאפשר לאירן להשיג נשק גרעיני". את הדברים אמר הדיפלומט הרוסי לאחד מראשי מדינות אירופה לשעבר, והמידע הגיע לגורמים בירושלים.
- פרסומת -
כלפי חוץ רוסיה מתנגדת להטלת סנקציות על אירן ומקפידה להתבטא באופן מתון בנושא האירני, אך על פי ההערכות, העמדה המפתיעה של הבכיר הרוסי נובעת מאינטרסים רוסים הקשורים לנפט ולתוכנית הגרעין האירנית ביום שאחרי תקיפה. תקיפת מתקני הגרעין באירן תעלה את מחירי הנפט בעולם ורוסיה שהינה יצרנית נפט גדולה בעצמה, תרוויח מכך. בנוסף, אירן תהיה תלויה ברוסיה בהיבט של רכישת חלקים וחלפים לתוכנית גרעין ביום שאחרי ההפצצה. דוח הסוכנות לאנרגיה אטומית שיתפרסם בהמשך השבוע צפוי להיות החמור מכולם ולקבוע כי בניגוד להצהרותיה, אירן מנסה לפתח נשק גרעיני לצרכים צבאיים.

PizzaQ -- guess the Question, then Answer it

Click, maybe that will help.

When someone answers this PizzaQ, I will credit the source of the image of the two golden knots. Obviously I am much too crappy an artist to have drawn them.

Should I just stop here? Does the image sufficiently explain what the PizzaQ is asking?

Well -- okay, if you want some Pizza (7 slices, your choice of toppings), you not only have to Answer the PizzaQ, but you have to figure out what the Question is, too.

I've been wanting to get around to this for a long time. Something Wonderful has happened, and I want to tell you all what it is.
