Not work safe - if your workplace has a thing about frogs in pronographic positions, I guess.

Eat your heart out, Dracula - scientists turn blood into biscuits and chocolate



Eric Dickinson, a professor of food colloids at the University of Leeds, said: 'It doesn't sound implausible. Blood is a cheap, under-used source of protein.'

(And you just knew it would be eastern Yurpians with names like Ludmilla and Alexei.)

Cow-orker is telling me in hushed tones (relatively speaking - people across the room can still clearly hear what she's saying) about the apparent theft of several thousand dollars worth of equipment. I get lucky - before she can start in with the conspiracy theories and wild speculation, an escape route presents itself.

"Look," I say, pointing to the floor, "a skink."

"Oooh, a lizard!" She pounces on the hapless reptile and chases it about the floor obssessively for several minutes until finally pinning the poor creature down and taking it outside. By the time she gets back inside she's totally forgotten about the "missing" equipment.

I need to start keeping a jar of skinks in my bottom drawer for emergency situations.

Eugenics Backer Causes Stir in Tenn. Race

Republican congressional candidate James L. Hart acknowledges that he is an "intellectual outlaw."

He is an unapologetic supporter of eugenics, the phony science that resulted in thousands of sterilizations in an attempt to purify the white race. He believes the country will look "like one big Detroit" if it doesn't eliminate welfare and immigration. He believes that if blacks were integrated centuries ago, the automobile never would have been invented.

He shows up at voters' homes wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying a gun, and tells them that "white children deserve the same rights as everyone else."

Despite his radical views, Hart may end up winning the Republican nomination because he is the only GOP candidate on the ballot in Thursday's primary.

Hart, a 60-year-old real estate agent, knows his views on eugenics are far from the mainstream and viewed as racist by most people.

He insists his beliefs have nothing to do with racism and everything to do with "favored races" from Europe and Asia and "less-favored races" from Africa. To achieve his goal of a country populated by "favored races," Hart proposes eliminating both welfare and immigration.

"If an individual demonstrates the ability to produce and contribute to society, he or she would be encouraged to have more children. People on welfare would not," Hart said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press.

"Every person who opens the door -- as long as they're white -- I'll say, 'I'm James Hart. I'm running for Congress. My name will be on the ballot in the Aug. 5 Republican primary. I think white children deserve the same rights as everyone else.'"

'Tigger' Found Not Guilty Of Molesting Girl



This is quite possibly the only defense lawyer in a Tigger costume the American judiciary has ever seen.

I blame Hal.

It's too late for Tuvalu, a small island nation in the Pacific.

Ten thousand people, Tuvalu's entire population, are packing their bags as their homes among nine low-level atolls are being swallowed by the rising sea.

These are the facts of life: the earth is warming, the sea levels are rising, and Tuvalu is quietly being erased from the surface of the earth.
