For those of you who haven’t been following this travesty of human intellect:
Last month, people find a dead animal on the beach near Montauk, New York. A local newspaper associates it with the nearby Plum Island Animal Disease Center and Mutant Production Facility, and people are still going apesh!t. There are a bazillion half-cocked theories: it’s a pig, it’s a capybara, it’s an escaped experimental mutant, it’s a hoax - with forums, rubber sculptures of it, and even a website dedicated to photo mash-ups of it.

Conclusions by the Blogadilla Wild Animal and Mutant Research Laboratories:
• It was found on a beach, and had been exposed to the Sun and seawater for an undetermined amount of time. These conditions can cause desiccation (drying out, mummification), bloating, and hair loss (this regularly happens to dead mice at my sister’s farm).

• Eyewitnesses report it is about the size of a cat. It is not a huge animal.

• The dentition (teeth) and skull are NOT consistent with a cat, and if the Newsday ‘2nd photo’ is genuine - its genitals are not consistent with a cat. Though it appears to be male.

• The dentition, skull, genitals, size, and general appearance COULD BE consistent with a dog. Remember, dogs vary greatly (think Pug and Greyhound).

• The dentition, skull, paws, size, and general appearance COULD BE consistent with a raccoon. According to The Independent, the town Natural Resources Director Larry Penny, and Bandit Trappings and Pest Control’s Doug Johnston identified it as a raccoon.

Greyhound buslines recently released a clever ad slogan:

“There’s a reason you’ve never heard of ‘bus rage’.”

So bad timing.
They are now removing these ads after the recent incident on one of their buses when a passenger (Vincent Weiguang Li, photo below) repeatedly stabbed, decapitated, and cannibalized another passenger.

The Beijing Summer Olympics are just around the corner, and that means one thing: the humiliating process of testing female athletes to see if they are male.

About 1 in 20,000 women have complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS) - where they are genetically male (XY), but their body has problems recognizing testosterone (and other androgens) and thus they have physically developed as women (this has been rumored of actress Jamie Lee Curtis, but never formally verified).

None of these tests, to date, have revealed a man posing as a woman. However, in 1985, Spanish hurdler Maria José Martínez Patino discovered that she was born with a Y chromosome (XY), instead of another X (XX) - that she is genetically male and has AIS.

Though genetically male, these women have female physiology - and their genetic makeup shouldn’t actually provide any greater physical advantage.

So, how should the line be drawn this year?
Should it really matter?

If you have the money and you’re cool, you have polished granite countertops in your kitchen.

Another interesting new trend: granite can contain high levels of radioactive uranium.

“It’s not that all granite is dangerous . . . but I’ve seen a few [granite countertops] that might heat up your Cheerios a little.” - Stanley Liebert, the quality assurance director at CMT Laboratories.

A New Zealand judge made a 9-year-old child a ward of the court so he could change her name to something normal.

Her given birth name: Talula Does the Hula.

Apparently this case is not unique; previous New Zealand examples include: Fish and Chips, Yeah Detroit, Keenan Got Lucy, Number 16, Bus Shelter, Violence, and (a personal favorite) Sex Fruit.

What happened to naming your kid something normal like Kal-el, Zowie, Piper Maru, Jett, Gaia Romilly, Sage Moonblood, Justice, Christopher Sargent Shriver, Essenz Astral, Hopper, Tatum, Brawley King, Zola Ivy, Frances Bean, Saffron Sarah, Tito Joe, Prince Michael, Alchemy, Phoenix Chi, Fifi-Trixibelle, Pixie, Satchel, Calico, or Guggi Q.

If you were one of the many who was outraged at the New Yorker for their recent cover with Barack and Michelle Obama, check out David Horsey’s spoof McCain National Review cover.  The sad thing, though, is that the stuff about McCain is actually true and not just satire like with the Obamas!
