Saturday Night "Club ONT" June 28, 2025 [The 3 Ds]

Welcome to Club ONT! A collaboration of your Sunday through Wednesday ONT Crew - The Disco, The Doggo, and The Dino.

Peak brilliance with the comments over the last week - which are sprinkled throughout the content this evening. The 3D's are a welcoming bunch and appreciate your contributions. We suspect they will get the 'who reads the content treatment' and echoed through eternity - like the normal ONT content.

Saturday Night Joke and Other Funnies

Opening with a joke from AoS regular, Gref.

***

A pirate was on his ship and his watchman comes to him and says, "One enemy ship on the horizon." The captain says, "Bring me my red shirt, no men get injured or die." So the watchman comes to him and asks, "Why did you want your red shirt?" The captain says, "Because if i get injured they won't see and keep on fighting." So the watchman comes to him again and says, "20 enemy ships on the horizon." The captain says, "Bring me my brown pants."

Split section of Comments of the Week. We'll start with this batch of current events.

Just a Thought
But didn't President Trump steal the "two weeks" meme from our very own AoS in his masterful misdirection as to how to deal with Iran?

Drink of the Night

Jäger Bomb

Technically a type of Boilermaker, that style of beer-and-shot combo which sometimes feature the shot dropped inside the beer (ergo, "bomb" shot), this drink originally was made using lager. In recent times, however, the version replacing beer with an energy drink has far surpassed its progenitor in popularity. Either way, this easy-to-prepare-and infamous-combination has managed to maintain its reputation for getting the party started.

- Pour one can of Red Bull into a pint glass

- Fill a shot glass with Jägermeister

- Drop shot glass into pint glass

- Consume immediately

[Doggo says: Please, no dancing on the bar with your pants off. Bar dancing with pants on may be acceptable. No, you cannot keep the shot glass.]

Farewell blue screen of death. Welcome...black screen of death.

Microsoft Officially Retires "Blue Screen of Death" After 40 Years of Frowny-Faces

After 40 years of delivering the tragic news of a PC crash to Windows users, Microsoft's infamous "blue screen of death" will be going away. But not to worry - a black screen of death will be replacing it, albeit without the sad emoticon face. The infamous "blue screen of death" has been around since the very first version of Windows in 1985.

1985 - smack dab in the middle of the 80s. What an awesome time!

Club ONT Science News

What could go wrong?

Prehistoric horror: 99-million-year-old "zombie" fungus found bursting from insect heads

Two insects - a fly and a juvenile ant - preserved in 99-million-year-old amber from Myanmar have revealed what scientists are calling some of the oldest examples of parasitic "zombie" fungi ever discovered.

The fossils, found in Myanmar's amber markets, are a rare opportunity for scientists "to visualise the ancient ecological relationships preserved in fossils," said Yuhui Zhuang, lead author and doctoral researcher at Yunnan University.

One of the fossils, a grotesquely well-preserved one, shows the fruiting bodies of the ancient fungi bursting through the hosts' heads, frozen mid-invasion.

Looking less like a vase and more like a complicated relationship with the wheel and clay.

No way!! 😂 pic.twitter.com/Y7DjBTN2cD

The request line was open.

Dear Disco, Dino, and Doggo, my name is Moron and I am writing to you from somewhere in the grey-boxes. Something happened very recently - something I've been wondering about the outcome for a long time. Every time I hear this song, I'm reminded of that moment. 3D's, could you please play it as a Grey-Box Dedication?

Well, Morons, it's always special when something happens that perfectly captures what is going on in the world. Below are your Grey-Box Dedications. From all of us here at Club ONT, we salute you. Keep your brain sharp and the keyboard at the ready.

One for you to sing tomorrow
