New research on death.

summary if anyone asks.

Also, for those of you that eat transfats, the reason they build up in your arteries is because they are fats that your body has a hard time breaking down, possibly cannot break down very much at all. So it just precipitates into your circulatory system.

Yeah, I'll be glad when they are gone. Its like feeding yourself heavy metals, except in this case its more legal.

holy fuk

after some googling i found the dutch term for this, "transvetzuren", trans fatty acids.

that's a lot of products, it's in.

gonna pay some attention to this in the future.

(ah a quick check in my kitchen cupboards shows that at least one of my usual supermarkets puts the amount of trans-fat on their items. this also tells me to use real cream butter in the future instead of that plant-oil-fat produced stuff, so it doesn't seem too bad for me yet .. apparently according to some site NL was in 1996 the top 2 of most transfat intake, together with iceland, at 1.4g a day)

Man widowed after his goat 'wife' chokes to death

A Sudanese man who married a goat was in mourning today after his wife died when she swallowed a plastic bag.

Charles Tombe shot to fame last year when he tied the knot with Rose.

A court ordered him to marry the beast "to save her honour" after he was caught making amorous advances toward the mother-of-one in the middle of the night.

Mr Tombe and Rose are believed to have lived happily ever after until her life was cruelly cut short.

The story, which became one of the world's best read tales, began in Juba, southern Sudan, in February last year when the BBC reported that the then owner of the goat, Mr Alifi, was awoken in the night by a strange noise.

Walking out of his traditional hut, he was confronted by the sight of Mr Tombe and Rose in a passionate embrace.

Today the Times reported that Mr Alifi said: 'When I asked him "What are you doing there?" he fell off the back of the goat, so I captured and tied him up."

When Mr Tombe was brought before a council of elders he claimed he was drunk when Rose caught his eye.

He was ordered to pay Mr Alifi a "dowry" of 15,000 Sudanese dinars - about £25 - since he was considered to have used the goat "as his wife."

In the same way a man is expected to marry a woman if he has sex with her in southern Sudan, Mr Tombe was deemed to have married Rose.

However, despite a happy marriage money was tight and Rose died after swallowing a plastic bag as she scavenged for food on the streets of Juba.

She is said to have left a male kid - not a boy. It is not yet known whether she will be cremated or used in a local speciality of goat curry.

Tom Rhodes, a Briton who helped to found the Juba Post which first broke the story, said townsfolk still congratulate him.

,ÄúIt shows the Sudanese have a sense of humour,,Äù the Times reported he said.

I think Sarkozy is going to win the French Presidential elections tomorrow.  Which will be very bad news.  He was the jackbooted Minister of the Interior when all the riots kicked off last year - caused indirectly by his policies.

If he does win, expect more riots.  Maybe not right away, but soon enough.  He's a security freak running on an Anerisan "tough on crime" ticket.  He'll make sure there are no economic opportunities for French Africans outside of the black market, then crack down hard on that.  And they'll only put up with so much shit, especially since the students and unions are now getting it back together.

i heard the goat was in fact an alien from a planet called Eris
