Submission + - Stink Bugs Attack 33 States (dailymail.co.uk)

slas6654 writes: Stink bugs have infiltrated 33 states and are beginning to become a broader public nuisance. For those lucky enough not to had the pleasure of getting squirted by a stink bug, be afraid: stink bugs can multiply and linger year round. They only fire off when threatened but the smell is atrocious. Sometimes they smell like rotten eggs and sometimes they smell like BO.

Submission + - Sheep Born with Human "Head" (pravda.ru)

slas6654 writes: A very interesting report coming out of Turkey about a sheep being more with a human head. FTA: "A sheep gave birth to a dead lamb with a human-like face. The calf was born in a village not far from the city of Izmir, Turkey. Erhan Elibol, a vet, performed Cesarean section on the animal to take the calf out, but was horrified to see that the features of the calf’s snout bore a striking resemblance to a human face. "

Apparently this is not an isolated centauric incident. A goat born in September 2009 in Zimbabwe also appeared to have a human head. Although the goat was born alive, the villagers were so scared they killed it. "This incident is very shocking. It is my first time to see such an evil thing. It is really embarrassing," he reportedly said. "The head belongs to a man while the body is that of a goat. This is evident that an adult human being was responsible. Evil powers caused this person to lose self control. We often hear cases of human beings who commit bestiality but this is the first time for such an act to produce a product with human features," he added.

scares the crap out of the powers that be. That something they created could, in theory, be something that fuels their eventual downfall...

That makes no sense whatsoever. The Iranian democratic factionists are using TOR to resist the fascist theocracy in Iran. Why would you say it is being used against the creators - the U.S. If anything, this is a positive thing for the U.S. inventors.

I won't buy into any of this stuff until somebody can make what I want. What I want is essentially a thin-film plastic or urethane sheet. The sheet is essentially 8.5 x 11 but can be folded up in any shape or form like a newspaper. The only electronics on the thing are a wifi connection, a micro flash drive and a browser OS. All the thing needs to do is get me to a website. From there I get whatever content I need via http.
It's funny. Laugh.

BELGRADE, Serbia (Reuters) — A 23-year old Serb was found dead and half-eaten in the bear cage of Belgrade Zoo at the weekend during the annual beer festival.

The man was found naked, with his clothes lying intact inside the cage. Two adult bears, Masha and Misha, had dragged the body to their feeding corner and reacted angrily when keepers tried to recover it.

"There's a good chance he was drunk or drugged. Only an idiot would jump into the bear cage," zoo director Vuk Bojovic told Reuters.

Local media reported that police found several mobile phones inside the cage, as well as bricks, stones and beer cans."
