Anyone know Trump’s itinerary? Could be a prophetic black halo, announcing the coming of the Devil to shake hands and eat, er, kiss babies.

This video shows a black smoke ring floating over Santa Clara, California. What do you think caused it?
Umm … is it one of those “rolling blackouts”?

Turns out you can start a smokey fire in an upright big oil drum and when you pick the drum up and drop it on the ground it blows a smoke ring, making a fun backwoods party trick.
When I saw a picture taken of a local one, I asked a server if she believed in aliens.
Never showed my face in that town again.

Californians aren’t dealing with enough fires right now, they need suggestions on how to start new ones?

I hold the people in this fine bbs to a higher standard of intelligence.
Just didn’t want too many people to jump to any boneheaded conclusion like I did.
Go after the bonehead who made the ring.

This kind of picture made its way to the “what is this thing?” reddit a while back, and the most plausible response was that it is a blown transformer.
So I’m going to go with blown transformer for a hundred, Alex!

Came here to say this. I believe exploding transformers make smoke rings.
