It hasn't been a weekly item for quite a while now. If you have a good picture then go ahead and post it as a normal posting with a "Caption This" title. We all still like them. A moderator with insider knowledge will probably post the reason, but it seemed like they were running out of good material.

Mr. Peabody would say the parable of this story

It’s either “Heavy on the mental” or “An example of Two wrongs make a right…”
