The Rules

These will be the new rules of my kingdom, when it just sort of happens…
They may seem excessive, but I assure you, absolutely necessary for true harmony

Love the Onion…

If You Ever Need Somebody To Stand Around And Not Contribute, You Know Where To Find Me | The Onion – America’s Finest News Source

Look, we’ve been friends a long time, and this probably goes without saying, but I’m gonna say it anyway. I want you to know that anytime you really need my help—anytime at all—you can count on me to just sort of show up, hang out for a while, and not really do anything productive or supportive.

Pirates

Pirate bay is found guilty and is going to jail. Take that you damn pirates…who refuse to keep seeding that last few megs of the torrent I am trying to download. It is what you desire for throttling your upload speeds, to jail with you all!

Trust No One

If you see my kids walking down the street, turn and walk the other way. I am going to give them each a high-voltage taser and that will be how they interact with everyone from this point on. At least, this might be a good policy after the recent news from San Francisco.

This is where 8-year-old Tracy was found in a suitcase, after being raped and murdered. Obviously by some sick bastard with a history right? Maybe some serial rapist? No, how about the mother of the girl’s friend, who also happens to be her Sunday school teacher.

This is just one of probably many examples out there of the uncertainty of life. Communication is great and needed, understanding of the possibilities in life can help, but at any time, the random chaotic variable can swoop down and change everything.

So please forgive my young children if you happen to be tasered by them, Your understanding is appreciated.

Plan to Import 20,000 Tons of Italian Nuclear Waste into Utah Approved by US Gov : TreeHugger

Here’s a troubling plan—the ironically named US company EnergySolutions is seeking approval to import 20,000 tons of radioactive waste from Italy. The waste would be processed in Tennessee, then shipped on over to Utah, where it would be buried in the desert.

This is what I am talking about! 20 out of 23 subjects is pretty good freaking odds. Odds I am sure my little girl would be willing to take for even a partial cure. But where is this? In a lab still, years later. And this is not the only possible cure that has been reported on, so why is this still in labs and journals? Well, I guess we would not need to spend all that money on insulin, needles, testing, etc. We can’t take that money from the mouths of those vendors! Then they might need to innovate and come up with research and better drugs for other diseases out there. Yes this is part frustration, but it is also part absurdity.

Transplants help Type 1 diabetics skip insulin | Reuters

CHICAGO, April 14 (Reuters) – People with type 1 diabetes who got stem cell transplants were able to go as long as four years without needing insulin treatments, U.S. researchers said on Tuesday.

There is a new rule in the universe. This edict says that if you are such an incompetent driver to slide into a ditch, or drive 30 miles below the speed limit as a precaution, then every other driver on the road is allowed one punch to your head. Every single one of them. And if you lose consciousness, your body will be moved to the side of the road, so that the rest of us can drive as we know how to do.

So let it be written. So let it be done.

Woman has developed an imaginary, but useful, third arm – Boing Boing

After having a stroke, a 64-year-old woman reports that she now has a “pale, milky-white and translucent third arm” that she can use to scratch itchy parts of her body. She also says the limb can’t penetrate solid objects.

It is “the first case known to doctors of a person being able to feel, see and deliberately move a limb that doesn’t exist.” The woman underwent an MRI and when doctors asker her to move her imaginary third limb, her brain responded as if she really had the arm. Her visual cortex activity also indicated that she saw the arm. (Via Arbroath)
