Crazy animal stories

1. 26 toed cat. I don't know what else to say, its just funny. I mean, look at the picture of that silly cat.

2. COLOSSAL squid caught. That is some scary stuff. I won't post pictures so as not to frighten the children.

Apparently the Australia/New Zealand area is much more exciting in terms of crazy animals.

"We smoke while we shoot the bird"

Quite rightly, John has pointed out that I totally agree with the dirty hippies in this Boston silliness. However, certain conservatives are actually, seriously up in arms about this. "How dare you scare us, dirty hippies!?!" "We are at war!" Whatever. At least there are some sane conservatives left, like the following, whom I usually disagree with:

The Crucible in Boston [Mario Loyola]

I think the Boston authorities should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. They mistook obvious toys for bombs and sent the entire city into a paroxysm of war-on-terror paranoia. And now they're taking out their frustrations by lynching two quasi-hippies who quite are quite rightly mocking them and everyone else who thinks they did something wrong.

Reports that those guys held back from explaining the provenance of the gadgets are serious if they knowingly held back for any significant length of time. But the main point is that by the time they figured out that it was all their fault, the authorities had already caused a city-wide panic over funny-looking gadgets that look exactly nothing like a bomb.

Whether those guys did anything to apologize for, the Boston authorities should apologize for turning the United States into a planetary laughing-stock. The European press is going to have a field day with this. Normally world opinion can cook in its own stew as far as I'm concerned, but I'm going to be traveling abroad soon and I really hope I don't have to answer questions about this incredibly embarrassing incident.

New Study Reveals Boston to be the Stupidest City Ever

I'm sure everyone's heard about this by now, but just in case, I'm putting this post up. Slaps and I love the show and have agreed that everyone in Boston is God forsaken idiot. Except the two guys going to jail. They are brilliant, as you can see below.
