New Face Card - The Peasant, The One of Spades

The One of Spades, The Peasant

Finally a number one card - the Peasant.  The Peasant is a kind of paradox. It is the lowest numbered card yet also a face card. Peasants must get their due respect since their role in the Kingdom is vital to the livelihoods of Kings, Queens, and Jacks. Even the Jokers must live off these "lowly" ranks. Otherwise there would be no royal suits or kingdom to speak of. One may be a low value, but peasants can hold their ground against Aces.  The Peasant ranks above The Pawn, and below the duce.  However, they tie against Aces.  Unlike an Ace, the Peasant can never rank above its value of one.  Thus if you get to two 'ten' cards and one peasant, you will have Blackjack.  Or if you are playing with an 8 deck Blackjack shuffle, then you could theoretically get 21 peasants to also get a Blackjack! Or One Ace and 10 peasants.

(10 clubs + 10 hearts + 1 peasant) = 21 black jack
four aces tie four peasants
four 3s  beat four peasants

Lower Makefiled Township Flag, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA



The Lower Makefield Township flag in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, USA consists a divided field horizontally of green and yellow.  Yellow on top and green on the bottom.  In the center is the township seal, which recycles the Pennsylvania State seal with different colours.

Really close up, this is what a galaxy looks like.  Remember you too are a part of the Laniakea Superdooper Cluster.  You are just as beautiful from a distance as close up!

New Holland Australia Heritage Flag


What might have been?  What if the Dutch would have invested some of their Indonesian Riches to establish a colony in Australia?  Perhaps New Holland would have been the name of the 6th continent instead of Australia.

This flag commemorates that fact that Australia's maiden name was New Holland before she was married to the UK and get her 'proper' name - Australia.  From the early 1600s until about 1828, the Dutch had a tenuous foothold on The Sixth Continent, but by 1829 all Dutch dreams of nation down under were dashed.

Magic Eye 3D Flag


In the 90s the Magic Eye became a hypnotic phenomena.  In this picture here you can see a race car cross the finish line and more importantly you can see a flag being waved.  If the 50s had the hoola hoop, and Rubik's cube was it in the 80s, then the Magic Eye was it of the 90s.

Does your brain have background OS?  If you can see the flag here, they you do!
