Xbrad is getting disturbed by the mean weasel photos, so here is a little something gentler for him:
Better now? –Ripped off from Funny and Cute Pictures.

So, we were wondering around Napier, New Zealand and they have a wildlife sort of museum/information station. Check out the rather alarming stuffed stoat (or weasel, I don’t know):
Back off, Asshole!
Yeah, I’m lookin at you. What are you lookin at? You think I’m funny?

This is what happens when a semi is going faster than it should be and things go “wrong”.
Ooopsie. How’d that happen? Sorry. Wrong pic. Here.
It happened at 8:30 in the morning. Miraculously, and thankfully, no one was seriously hurt, including the driver.
FiAF Finger Theory: Speed, Aggression, Intelligence and Motivation March 13, 2009

You can’t help it. It’s science.
Boys with ring fingers longer than their index fingers run faster, a new study finds.
Also more aggressive, smarter, and more highly motivated, among other certain things IYKWIMAITYD.
Uh. Well. I don’t remember being called “Speedy Dave” in high school. At least, not for anything sports related.
This all from more exposure to testosterone in the womb. (I blame dad). The study focuses on guys, but claims:
Finger length can predict the likelihood of aggression in men (but not women).
Yes, there’s no predicting that aggression thing in women.
Higher SAT math scores. (I call bullshit on that).
Higher risk of osteoarthritis. (ok, I buy this)
Dig dis:
The fingers don’t lie. But the rest of me does.
More Competitions for the Upcoming IBMMP March 13, 2009
Posted by Sobek in News.28 comments
Sure, we all know about the shooting competition, the bacon-eating competition, and the Sobek threatening to punch Russ in the balls competition. But that’s probably not enough to keep the IBers occupied for the whole IBMMP. What other competitions should the party feature?
8. Masonry competition: Seal an effigy of LauraW into a stone catacomb. Contestents judged by speed and durability.
7. Suck-up competition (Michael and Dave only): Competitors judged on their ability to flatter Lipstick.
6. Sonic endurance competition: Whoever listens to Dave playing bass longest, wins (Mrs. Peel is disqualified).
5. Innate superiority competition: Basically, the Bystanders win this one, and the Hostages lose. Pretty simple.
4. Discipline competition: competitors are seated in front of a slice of Cathy’s delicious pecan pie. Whoever resists eating longest wins.
3. Heresy competition: the goal is to invent heresies that are somehow more ridiculous than Lutheranism, with scriptural support.
2. Pulling wet socks on dry feet competition: timed event.
1. Obama Yard Sign Baseball: played from the back of a moving truck. This might require a side trip to Austin.
All right, what did I miss?
Spudders? Take Five. March 13, 2009
Posted by skinbad in Crime, Law.4 comments
Someone’s complaining about it being quiet around here. I don’t know if this is better than nothing. Probably not. My home slices passed a law. The thing that’s being legislated against is so far beyond normal comprehension, it just–I don’t know how to say it.
So anyway. Don’t disparage the spudders today. Utah apparently needs a law that takes away artificial insemination as a legal defense against incest.
Sheesh.
Finger Ball March 12, 2009

You can find anything on the internet.
Hah.
I know what you are thinking right now. You are thinking, Michael, you are wrong. You could not possibly find the most unbelievably ridiculous homage to that silly sport we call “soccer,” and which the rest of the world calls “football,” because apparently they have not actually seen an NFL football game (which normally involves a lot of hand action to transfer the ball).
Go figure. The rest of the world is retarded.
How To Use Tomatoes* March 11, 2009

Desktop cleanup time. I found an old item I had intended to use for the provision of much bloggy mirth.
Then I backtracked to find what the story was about. So here it is.
I think I got stuck trying to get an Excel chart into the blog. I guess I’m smarter than I used to be. Screen shot, paste it in my black market Photoshop freeware imitator and crop and export. And there you go. Now the mirth can begin and I can delete that stupid thing.
You Know What We Need? Gay Ducks! March 10, 2009

“They stay together all the time, parading up and down their enclosure and whistling to each other as a male might do with a female he wants to mate with,” Paul Stevens, the warden at Arundel Wetland Center, tells the Telegraph.
The boy birds, Ben and Jerry, were introduced to Cherry, but to no avail. “Cherry showed some interest in him,” Stevens told the newspaper, referring to Jerry. “She displayed typical mating behavior — she approached him and called to him, she even looked like she was nesting. We thought it was great and it was all going to happen, but nothing ever did.”
Feathers flew, however, when Ben and Jerry were shacked up together. “To our surprise, the two males really took to each other and it was obvious that they really liked each other,” Stevens said, adding: “Ben and Jerry do make a lovely couple.”
Ben and Jerry aren’t the first gay members of the animal kingdom. Roy and Silo, penguin residents of the Central Park Zoo in New York City, mated there a decade ago — among the 1,500 species that have been observed engaging in homosexual activity. But Ben and Jerry’s coupling is bad news for Blue Ducks in England, where the threesome is thought to be among the only such birds in the country, the Telegraph reports. Blue Ducks are native to New Zealand and are threatened with extinction, according to that country’s Department of Conservation.
As for Cherry, she’s taking Ben and Jerry’s relationship in stride, Stevens told the Telegraph. “Cherry doesn’t seem bothered by it,” he said. “She’s just happy to keep to herself.”
