"Nothing fixes a thing so intensely in the memory as the wish to forget it." - Michel de Montaigne

God Hates Lady Gaga - "As much as she'd like to pretend otherwise, there's nothing new or different about this particular hussy's pretentious prancing. Does the simple slut truly think that she can change God's standards by seducing a generation of rebels into joining her in fist-raised, stiff-necked, hard-hearted rebellion against Him? Get real!"

Led astray by the no-split-infinitives fetish - "There is nothing wrong in English with splitting an infinitive. There never was anything wrong with it, either. You probably all knew that already. Unfortunately, the loudest grammar snobs are the ones who’ve put the least research into their opinions, and so, for every ten people quietly aware that infinitives can and sometimes should be split, there’s one vocal grammaticaster shouting over them that split infinitives are an abomination in the eyes of Pope. That means that there’re still a substantial number of people out there either objecting to or grinding their teeth over Star Trek’s to boldly go."

Hitler and evolution - "Like a creationist, Hitler asserts fixity of kinds... affirms that humans existed "from the very beginning", and could not have evolved from apes... believes that man was made in God's image, and in the expulsion from Eden... claims Jesus as his inspiration... despises secular schooling... Like a creationist, Hitler wished to make prayer compulsory in public schools. Unlike American creationists, he succeeded"

Barnyard Chorus: Play it again, Sam - "Sam [Ho] engages nothing at all Samantha says, instead choosing to lecture her on Reel Praktikull Activistyism. The first step to doing this is talk over others... The second step is to have no bloody idea what you're talking about... Sam isn't just ignorant and wrong. We're all ignorant and wrong sometimes. But Sam is also breathtakingly arrogantly wrong, and patronising."
These mad cows need to get off the Kool Aid and stop shooting everyone who isn't as rabid as them. And WAH LAO I AM DAMN INSULTED SAM HO THOUGHT I WAS BEHIND THE DERANGED MADNESS AT BARNYARD CHORUS !@#$%^&*()

The Pig & The Butcher on Vimeo - "A good friend of mine Vadim Akimenko of the future Akimenko Meats is a butcher who has a very intense passion for what he does. At the end of this process, of a 211 pound pig only 1 pound of meat was thrown away. It went on to feed quite a lot of people."
This video is like my life - pointless.

False Rape Allegations: An Assault On Justice | The Forensic Examiner - "Although it may not be "politically correct" to question the veracity of a women's complaint of rape, failing to consider the accuser may be intentionally lying effectively eradicates the presumption of innocence. This Constitutional right is especially significant when dealing with allegations of rape as in most jurisdictions, sex offenses are the only crimes that do not require corroborating evidence for conviction. Because there are often no witnesses and no physical evidence (especially if the victim delays in filing a report), the case may come down to the credibility of the accused versus the credibility of the accuser."

Robot Romance: Inventor Le Trung takes his 'fembot' girlfriend to Christmas dinner - "'Aiko is like any woman, she enjoys getting new clothes,' he said... Le has built up huge debts working on his fembot and is still trying to find a technology company to sponsor his research... Le suffered a heart attack two years ago caused by stress after working long hours on Aiko... 'Like a real female she will react to being touched in certain ways,'said Le. 'If you grab or squeeze too hard she will try to slap you. She has all senses except for smell. But Aiko is always helpful and never complains. She is the perfect woman to have around at Christmas.'"
