Guns Across The Missouri

Noticeably the so called 'peaceful protest', in Ferguson, Missouri, was accompanied by looting and arson by many of the participants, and ended in an exchange of gunfire, with a black youth downed. Also noticeable was that a very large number of semi clothed young black males were facing the police off ... and that there were no elders, or persons of community responsibility in the photos.

Roboticide US Style

Headline: "Robbie The Robot Murdered .... Dr. Morbius held for questioning!" Well that would be the headline in a funnier world.

hitchBOT Was A Social Experiment.

 

In fact it was 'hitchBOT', a rather static robot created as a 'social experiment' by Canadian researchers, who has apparently met his end, at the hands of persons or person unknown. The idea was to place hitchBOT at a defined starting point, with a sign taped to it, which indicated where it wanted to be transported to, and wait to see what happened.

Bang Er and Mash (or Spuds U Like)

You sometimes hear tales of wheat or other organic matter, germinating in strange parts of peoples bodies (although these stories are best treated with some scepticism), and its a fact that human beings are very 'inventive' in how they use fruit and vegetables. But occasionally you have to blink and ask are you having a larf?

On October 4th, 2014 it was reported that a 22 year old 'virgin' was rushed to hospital in Honda, Columbia, South America. She was complaining of violent abdominal pains, and at first the medics could find nothing abnormal, but when her symptoms persisted, a medic decided to root around, and discovered a mouldy vegetable inside her vaginal passage. It had apparently 'germinated' and sprouted roots .... it was these, and the consequent gas build up, that that were causing her pains.

The medics extracted the object without the need for surgery, and almost immediately the pains started to subside .... when asked what the potato (for such it was identified as), was doing there, she replied that her mother had told her that a potato located there would stop her getting pregnant.

Strange Contraceptive ... or Nasty Surprise?

Kissin Cousins

According to the latest research by the university of Edinburgh (and actually not so latest research, as I recall being told this decades ago), having a very diverse parental genetic background gives a child a better chance in life.

The outcome of these liaisons are both taller and smarter. The research looked at the DNA of over 350,000 people worldwide and confirmed that the offspring of unrelated parents, were both lankier and more intelligent than the offspring of people who were closely related, such as being first cousins.

The Four Political Pygmies

First it was political colossus (well nearly), Tony Blair, then is it was clunker Brown, and then little Ed (instead of big Dave his brother), and now it seems it will be one of the pygmies.
