A great deal of what's on fail blog isn't fail at all. But they have to keep
up now, so ...

They're teaching a class showing how belugha whales don't have sharp teeth
and don't eat meat or something. Clearly the trainer is entertaining the
guests, which is exactly what's supposed to happen.

Or perhaps it is *my* memory that fails, of course. ;-)

More and more of it seems to be repeats lately, too.

I eventually stopped following one of the lolcat sites due to the
extreme level of advertising, and the generally diminishing amusement value.

Just use AdBlock Plus. It's surprisingly effective (it can remove ads even
from flash videos).

By "extreme level of advertising", I mean "each page takes 45 seconds to
load, and a further 30 seconds to finish layout".
Still, perhaps AdBlock can fix it. I don't know, I've never used it.
(Come to think of it, I don't even know where to obtain it. But that can
be fixed...)
The other reason was that the pictures steadily increased in volume, but
the actually amusing ones became rarer and rarer...

If the loading time is due to ads, then it will obviously speed up because
ads will not be loaded at all.

Go to firefox's official add-ons page and search for "adblock plus".

I think that the green wall was a later addition and that at the time of
the installation of the fire extinguisher, there was no problem at all
with its location. Unfortunately, the guys who put up the drywall were
not asked to move the fire extinguisher, and just like the fence going
through the goal posts, it fell under the "not-my-problem" category.

Yeah, probably something like that. Still, even without the wall there,
that's a hell of a long way off the ground. How was it ever reachable?
And I still can't figure out how you could build a fence through a goal
mouth and not realise. :-P

It looks like it's a second-floor walkway. The left side of the picture
shows a railing, and the right side has a wall for whatever reason. I'm
guessing the second floor was open, with railings, and then they put an
"office" on the second floor by walling in some of the previously-open space.
