Immaculate Conception In a Boa Constrictor 478
crudmonkey writes "Researchers have discovered a biological shocker: female boa constrictors are capable of giving birth asexually. But the surprise doesn't end there. The study in Biology Letters found that boa babies produced through this asexual reproduction — also known as parthenogenesis — sport a chromosomal oddity that researchers thought was impossible in reptiles. While researchers admit that the female in the study may have been a genetic freak, they say the findings should press researchers to re-think reptile reproduction. Virgin birth among reptiles, especially primitive ones like boas, they argue may be far commoner than ever expected."

"if they tried to charge fat people extra at a buffet people might actually care."
I like this analogy and this new ruling would be like McDonalds lobbying the government to DISALLOW these buffets from allowing people to eat all they want, and force those chinese buffets to sell McDonalds fries for 1$ each to any of the buffet's customers that want second helpings.
Screw all the extra cost... this is as perfect an example of Bell using the government to ensure anti-competition in what was beginning to be an excitingly new competitive field!
Netflix and CTV, CBC, SPACE channel, SHOWCASE, GLOBAL TV and all the channels are now showing their episodes online - bringing pop culture to a wider audience.
Youtube and VideoSharing sites and tons of HowTo Video Websites etc etc.. the world is opening up to new Canadians... problem is, Bell's not getting enough of their dimes...
Internet media is expanding at a tremendous rate and many households are now able to access the television programming and educational videos they previously couldn't afford with traditional cable or satellite providers. Bell is using the CRTC to squash their competition who are giving a better service for less money - planning on stealing those customers from their wholesalers by attracting them with their overpriced bundle deals that come with a "free month of texting".

Why stop there?
Why not take away a driver's licence for listening /singing along with the radio, talking with passengers, daydreaming about the pu$$y you'll never get or organizing your thoughts for the meeting you're driving towards.
Why issue driver's licences at all when people like yourself are incapable of talking and driving at the same time.
Because you're too much of a simpleton to handle driving your car and talking at the same time - it stands to reason that everyone else is as stupid and incapable as you.
