OH Senate Passes Bill Banning Human-Animal Hybrids 197

Posted by samzenpus on Thursday June 03, 2010 @12:10PM from the no-centaurs-allowed dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The sci-fi movie Splice seems to have scared the Ohio's State Senator Steve Buehrer. The Ohio Senate has passed Sen. Buehrer's bill banning 'the creation, transportation, or receipt of a human-animal hybrid, the transfer of a nonhuman embryo into a human womb, and the transfer of a human embryo into a nonhuman womb.' So much for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."

New Hungarian Government OMGs All Gov Sites 59

Posted by samzenpus on Tuesday June 01, 2010 @09:40AM from the they-forgot-the-ponies dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The new Hungarian government chose to replace the home pages with a 'disclaimer' page on several governmental websites such as ministries or the Foreign Office. The title and the main message is 'OMG,' which is followed by an explanation that the inherited websites 'lack any kind of uniform structure' and this is 'unworthy of Hungary.' Today is the takeover day in most ministries for the new administration."

other than blatantly restricting the kid's computer, this sounds like the safest option. unless you have an IT person that can find the script and trace it back to you, report it to the owner, who will then fire you. Being open about it will help you assess the situation, and if logic does not prevail, a new job should.
