A group of scientists at the University of Illinois at Chicago recently conducted experiments on animals to try to determine whether homosexuality is hard-wired genetically or can be turned on and off using a combination of gene manipulation and drugs.

Horse Shit From A Different Direction
I wasn’t going to blog this, but it keeps calling me, begging to be mentioned. There’s a group home that owns 3 acres of property within the city limits. They want to have two miniature horses for therapeutic purposes. But because of some neighbours being worried about potential problems, the horses have been removed because …
Special Water For Woofer
Good lord this is stupid. Some people are throwing money away buying bottled water. Now, they can throw money away buying bottled water for their pets! The company, Aquience, says that all pets, but particularly cats, aren’t getting enough liquid in their diet, and are getting urinary disorders. So they decided to sell bottled water …
No Really, the Mice Were Part Of The Presentation.
Gees, with the amount of money people pay to have desserts at this eatery, you’d think the eatery could afford to call an exterminator. Nope, so it’s shut down. No one will be buying $25000-sundaes anymore. Jesus! $25000? Why? You’re going to eat it! I know it has eddible gold and the finest cocoa, but…you’re …

The Medical Care Was Worse Than The Snakebite!
Let’s think about this. A woman gets bitten in a religious snake-handling ritual. That’s perhaps ironic and worth a sarcastic chuckle, but if you’re a hospital staff member and she shows up for treatment, shouldn’t all chuckling stop and treatment start? If the staff at the Marymount Medical Centre in London, Kentucky, truly did what …

Does He Have A Death Wish?
One of these days, Jackie Bibby is gonna die. Why? Because he has a thing for setting records with rattlesnakes. Crawling into sleeping bags with them, holding them by their tails in his mouth, sitting in tubs with them. Look, dude, you have a zillion world records. Quit while you’re ahead…and still alive!
Why Is It…
Yes I’m stealing something from Steve, but I figured it was the only way this would work. I’ve had a lot of things make me wonder why, so here they are in no particular order. Why is it that the people in a lot of pet stores can’t even manage to have basic social skills? …
Driveways and Playgrounds, And…Bears? Oh my!
Hmmm. When bears pee in your driveway and play on your backyard play equipment designed for your three and four-year-old sons, maybe it’s time to move.
Hey Hidey Ho, Where’d The Old Lobster Go?
This has to be a setup. Somebody really wanted these lobsters to run wild and free. They had to have. In the middle of the night in Stuttgart, Germany, dozens of lobsters who were going to be sold to people to be made into a nice dish made an escape from an Asian supermarket. This …
