The fuck?  They're onto us.  Satire was the best fucking weapon we have, and they're even trying to ban that.

QuoteBERLIN, Germany (AP) -- Berlin Zoo's abandoned polar bear cub Knut looks cute, cuddly and has become a front-page media darling, but an animal rights activist insisted Monday he would have been better off dead than raised by humans.

"Feeding by hand is not species-appropriate but a gross violation of animal protection laws," animal rights activist Frank Albrecht was quoted as saying by the mass-circulation Bild daily, which has featured regular photo spreads tracking fuzzy Knut's frolicking.

"The zoo must kill the bear."

When Knut -- or "Cute Knut," as the 8.7 kilogram (19 pound) bear has become known -- was born last December, his mother ignored him and his brother, who later died. Zoo officials intervened, choosing to raise the cub themselves.

The story prompted quick condemnations from the zoo, politicians and other animal rights groups.

"The killing of an animal has nothing to do with animal protection," said Wolfgang Apel, head of the German Federation for the Protection of Animals.

Bild is the German version of the National Enquirer.  Just so you know.

Colossal Squid May Go Into Microwave

QuoteNo final decision has been made on how to defrost the colossal squid, which has eyes as big as a dinner plate. If anyone made squid rings from the beast, they would be as big as tractor tires.

But there are no plans to eat the beast, partly because the flesh contains so much ammonia it would taste like floor cleaner.

Wow, that is quite the story.  It makes me think of things that make me laugh.   :lol:

I just like how they're quick to say that they're not going to eat it.

It's humorous to think of people who instinctively think about eating everything they see.

Yay!  We're now getting our very own Security Ministry!  Funny how John Reid gets to keep all the "macho" bits, ie; the ones that allow him to boss people around and act like the Stalinist thug he is.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/terrorism/story/0,,2023040,00.html

It is believed that Mr Reid has won a critical battle to transfer the counter-terrorism, civil contingencies and "homeland security" functions now exercised by Sir Richard Mottram's intelligence and resilience unit at the Cabinet Office into the new Home Office.

Sir Richard effectively acts as the government's senior crisis manager in the event of a terrorist attack. It is believed however that he would retain his role in the Cabinet Office as chair of the joint intelligence committee and as security and intelligence coordinator overseeing the funding of the security services.

But MI6 and GCHQ, who currently report to the foreign secretary, Margaret Beckett, are said to be deeply unhappy at the idea that they should now report instead to Mr Reid in an attempt to create a "seamless response" to improve the government's capacity to counter the terrorist threat.

Ruth Kelly's communities and local government department, which last year acquired from the Home Office the role of working with Britain's Muslim community to tackle extremism, is battling to ensure that role does not return to the Home Office as part of the reorganisation.

It is believed that ministers have dropped ideas of rebranding the 225-year old Home Office as a national security ministry and Mr Reid is also proposing to retain the historic title of home secretary.

The shakeup will leave the new "core" Home Office responsible for policing, serious and organised crime, counter-terrorism strategy, MI5, immigration and nationality, passports, drugs and antisocial behaviour. At the same time detailed Whitehall discussions are going on this week over the transfer of the Home Office's responsiblities for prisons, probation, criminal justice policy, sentencing and victims to Lord Falconer's Department of Constitutional Affairs, which has already registered the domain name justice.gov.uk. Meetings have been taking place all week to thrash out details of the future split of budgets and staffing.

:eek: an 80 year old dead Buddhist corpse has no decay

Thats pretty cool.

Still, I want my body to return to the Process after death, not avoid it.
One by one, we break the sheep from their Iron Bar Prisons and expand their imaginations, make them think for themselves. In turn, they break more from their prisons. Eventually, critical mass is reached. Our key word: Resolve. Evangelize with compassion and determination. And realize that there will be few in the beginning. We are hand picking our successors. They are the future of Discordianism. Let us guide our future with intelligence.
