DON'T LOOK if you are too impressionable.

Next time you feel depressed, and sorry for yourself - look at you, and look at these unfortunate but brave people shown here. Wouldn't they gladly trade places with you?

Oh, I'm pretty sure I could NEVER obtain approval to create a personalized stamp with ANY of the people featured here.
Maybe in Netherlands, but not in USA.
The message would not be SHOCK VALUE, but COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS...

Are these abnormalities intentional creations of somebody like God?
Are they mistakes of somebody like God?
Either way, it looks bad on the Creator...
Then again, what do we know? Specks don't know the specs...:)
Or maybe somebody like God has nothing to do with these?

It looks like a ZANZIBAR BUSHBABY (no, we're not talking about Bush's babies), it walks like one...but it's different! I show you WWF MAXICARDS from TANZANIA with 4 stamps about The ZANZIBAR BUSHBABY (Galago zanzibaricus), but only 1 of the 4 postcards is matching the species! The other 3 postcards show 3 other species of BUSHBABIES! :)




So, all stamps show the same Zanzibar Bushbaby species, but the postcards show as follows 
(I updated the info with Wikipedia).

Upper-left:
"The brown greater galago (Otolemur crassicaudatus) is a nocturnal primate, the largest in the family of galagos."

Upper-right:
"The Senegal bushbaby (Galago senegalensis), also known as the Senegal galago, the lesser galago or the lesser bush baby, is a small, nocturnal primate, a member of the galago family Galagidae."

Lower-left:
"The Zanzibar bushbaby (Galago zanzibaricus) is a primate of the Galagidae family. An adult typically weighs 100–300 grams and is 34–39.5 centimetres long (3.5–10.5 oz, 13.5–15.5 in). Like other species of galagos, their diet consists mainly of fruit."

Lower-right:
"The northern greater galago (Otolemur garnettii), also known as Garnett's greater galago, is a prosimian primate endemic to Africa."

=======================

Happy PFF (Postcard Friendship Friday)!

BBC News - Black Friday iTunes infected credit malware alert

"Criminals are targeting internet users with a new gift certificate scam, according to security experts.
Users receive an email that claims to be from Apple's iTunes store, warns the Eleven security blog.
The ZIP file attached contains malware that may allow hackers to gain access to the recipient's computer."

"Facebook phishing
Security adviser Sophos warns of a separate threat linked to Facebook.
It says users are receiving emails claiming that they have violated the social network's policy regulations by annoying or insulting other members.
An attached link take users to a web page that presents them with a fake "Facebook Account Disabled" form.
The firm says that members are then asked to fill in a series of forms requesting their login details, country of residence and the first six digits of their credit card number."

""All these phishing scams boil down to a naked grab for your account details. Remember, neither Facebook nor other reputable social media sites would ask for this information.""

Happy Thanksgiving, fellow earthlings! I show you a gorgeous idea/demo of a non-traditional MAXICARD / MAXIMUM CARD / DORINCARD that I just started, and a postmark (pictorial or not) will come later. But this day is not about eating turkeys - it's about counting your blessings, not your troubles, and addressing a Thank You! to whom it may be due...:)

Happy Thanksgiving, fellow earthlings! I show you a gorgeous idea/demo of a non-traditional MAXICARD / MAXIMUM CARD / DORINCARD that I just started, and a postmark (pictorial or not) will come later.

Now, do you see any heart shape in the image above?

.I am surprised that I found this calendar image (you saw the hole at the top, right?) for the Thanksgiving maxicard AND for the Guest Heart Thursday meme!
Do you see the red-hot, 3D little heart (or hearts, if you believe in the symmetry of the turkey) at the base of the neck thingy?

"Dorincard: Blogger Dorin C is a stamp and postcard fanatic, and luckily he's more than pleased to write prolifically and charmingly about his obsession. He has a particular bent for stamps with wild mammals on them, but his blog demonstrates an affinity for stamps of all forms and backgrounds, as long as they offer a special narrative that's worth sharing with his readers.

    • Good content

    Comments:
    Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
    and interests he likes to share.
    His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
    postal system) shines through.
    He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
    Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
    possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
    Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.
