A Thread for Random Musings

My favorite conspiracy theory is this one:

 

"It is well known that NASA hired Stanley Kubrick in 1967 to film the fake Moon landing. But what's less well known is the the project took twice as long as scheduled and went way over budget because Kubrick, perfectionist that he was, demanded that they film on location."

 

I also like to respond to fake-Moon-landing nutjobs by saying, "Oh, so you're one of those guys who believes in the Moon?"

Sam Bennett won the last stage of the Tour de France racing into Paris.

 

It has been a changing of the guard. Chris Froome was not present. Geraint Thomas was not present. Bernal looked as if he would do what he did last year and pull out the win in the mountains but he faded and pulled out before the end. It looked as if Roglic would take the whole thing only to lose it on the penultimate stage, the Time Trial. So there has been a different winner each year for the last four years. Tadej Pogacar wins the whole race, the Young Rider and the King of the Mountains. Only Eddy Merckx rivals this but he won the Green Jersey as well and the Young Rider was not contested in his time. What was notable was Peter Sagan being eclipsed all the way through. Sam Bennett moved from Bora (Sagan's team) in order to race in the Tour. And he beats his old team mate to win his first Green Jersey.

One of the good things was Richie Porte getting onto the podium as 3rd after falling short in previous years and being knocked out of the race by injuries.

It should be noted that Roglic was one of the first people to congratulate Pogacar. And Bernal made no excuses for his failings.
