The ancient mountain in Venezuala: Mt. Roraima

 

This in Venezuela, and it is called Mount Roraima, one of the most amazing geophysical wonders in the world. For more than 500 years, scientists around the world have attempted to decipher the unique geological origin of Mount Roraima, southern Venezuela. In addition to rising almost 3,000 meters above sea level, the mountain has an unnatural morphology, which seems to have been cut with knives due to the precision of its million-year-old angles. 

This rock formation is the largest of its kind in all of South America, and is part of the Pakaraima mountain range. For more than 5 centuries, it has intrigued historians, geologists and other scientists because it is a mountain without a point. The top of Mount Roraima is completely horizontal, and occupies an area of more than 30 square kilometers, surrounded by waterfalls, cliffs and other rare geographical features in the world. 

Seen this way, it could be considered an island in the heights. Mount Roraima is home to a great diversity of endemic plant and animal species. Geologists and biologists from around the world estimate that it hides some of the species that science has no record of, since there are spaces in the mountain that still remain unexplored. 

It is thought that Mount Roraima was the product of a large earthquake in the past. However, its origin is not certain, since geological features that were created in similar ways do not have that shape. This has led scientists to think that it may be the oldest rock formation on Earth.

Yin and Yang: the pairing of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy in comedy films

 

That these two gentleman (and they did have the most sincere regard for manners) tried so hard to make up for their lack of intelligence through their friendship is why on a worldwide cruise, Laurel and Hardy, making a trip to a distant monestary in the mountains of Asia, found their picture on the altar as a symbol of Yin and Yang: the polarities of energy. Although he came across as a dunce, Stan Laurel was really the brains of the team and quite skilled in making adjustments to the act in order to get the most laughs. 

And they really were very close friends.

 

Film comedy, Part II: the Hal Roach short films of the late 1920s-1940s.

Many of us who watched these kids were amazed at how smart they were--at least, in getting over on adults. Even more intriguing: the natural way these kids interacted--and for one item alone, they were decades ahead of their time because there was NO racism in their friendships. And the kids on the set were smart: they could memorize their lines (in short sequences), and the film still continued to record them and the action. They were also quite familiar with movie stars of their time, including Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.

They were the Little Rascals, and they had several incarnations. To me, these are some of the better, richer, and amusing moments of their films. Among them, several stand-outs for their body of work: Jackie Cooper, Matthew "Stymie" Beard, Allan "Farina" Hoskins, Norman "Chubby" Chaney, and the hardest-working little kid ever, George "Spanky" McFarland.
