Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for July 30, 2022

Because of that last one, a lot of people are on Edge.

EX-plorers

MS Internet Explorer. The most popular means to download better web browsers.

I HAD forgotten about IE. thank you for ruining my day.

Alexander Gordon Laing really was the first the first European to reach Timbuktu. He arrived in August of 1826. He was killed (possibly strangled) on or about September 26, 1826 – shortly after he departed Timbuktu, some five weeks later. (info from Wikipedia)

IE won’t be forgotten for as long as we still have mission critical applications that only run on it, of which there are a depressing amount.

the number one use of IE is to download another browser.

Given that Timbuktu isn’t all that remote, was a prominent city and center of learning, and had been a major trade route crossroads for centuries (at its peak in 1500, it was larger than most European cities and much wealthier), the first white European to reach it is pretty much along the lines of “The first American to reach Paris”.

ha, that’s funny. I like the second and third ones. :D

In a way, we’re all explorers ….every morning going through “GC” never knowing what to expect with the next click…

The Lame Historian Side of the Horse

so is Horace exploring the idea of a teaching career…?

IE finding viruses and click bait since 1995

Not to forget “Windows Explorer”, who changed his name to “File Explorer” for no particular reason.

The second one bears a close resemblance to Gen. George McClellan.

Who is the middle guy?

The number 2 pix is Henry Morton Stanley (1841-1904); the guy who “found” Livingstone.

One way to make IE attractive (if you’re a brony):
