"Look at this. Look at the eyes. The eyes are not happy, are they? The eyes are borderline hysterical, stricken, pleading. Please. Help me. Get this fucking hot dog out of my my mouth so I can scream. OR KILL ME"
My plan for the weekend.

Jul. 15th, 2005 12:55 pmKing County sheriff's detectives are investigating possible animal cruelty at a farm near Enumclaw that apparently has attracted "a significant number of people" to have sex with animals, a sheriff's spokesman said Thursday.
The investigation was launched this month after authorities discovered the July 2 death of a man who suffered internal bleeding after engaging in anal sex with a horse at the farm.
Investigators have interviewed several people in connection with the case, which was brought to authorities' attention after the man was dropped off at a hospital for medical treatment. A surveillance camera picked up the license plate of the car, which led sheriff's detectives to the farm and other people involved.
Bestiality is not illegal in Washington state - meaning you have to prove that the animal didn't enjoy it and get a "cruelty" charge.
Also:
When Bassam Khalaf raps, he's the Arabic Assassin. His unreleased CD, "Terror Alert," includes rhymes about flying a plane into a building and descriptions of himself as a "crazy, suicidal Arabic ... equipped with bombs."
Until last week, Khalaf also worked as a baggage screener at George Bush Intercontinental Airport.
"I've been screening your bags for the past six months, and you don't even know it," said Khalaf, who also said Thursday that he is not really a terrorist and that his rhymes are exaggerations meant to gain publicity.
Also:
Seattle boy beaten, chased into traffic on a highway, and killed by a passing car for launching bottle rockets at cars
Finally, quote of the day:
"He was barred from the church for five years, but he continues to come in the church about every two weeks to drink holy water, which is kept for use in baptisms and other sacraments."
"I've called 911 every two weeks for the last six months," said Tom Rocks, the church's office manager. "The big question is that we know he has a problem and we don't want to cause any more problems for him, but since he has attacked people before, we're concerned for people's safety."

Jul. 15th, 2005 01:59 pmThe Christian Exodus has begun, and the local news actually noticed.
This being Fox, look at what opinions they put first, and who that "This isn't a good idea" spokesperson is, and how she's quoted.
If you're looking for the lunatics who are actually doing this, check out their website. Notice that they've got a Bible Search function on the left side, with an option to choose what version you want to search - and the only possible selection is King James?

Fujitsu today announced their joint development of the world's first film substrate-based bendable color electronic paper with an image memory function.
The new electronic paper features vivid color images that are unaffected even when the screen is bent, and features an image memory function that enables continuous display of the same image without the need for electricity. The thin and flexible electronic paper uses very low power to change screen images, thereby making it ideal for displaying information or advertisements in public areas as a type of new electronic media that can be handled as easily as paper. The jointly developed electronic paper will be showcased at Fujitsu Forum 2005, to be held July 14 and 15 at Tokyo International Forum.

Jul. 15th, 2005 03:32 pm"Brody's Very Bad Day"
Once upon at time, in The City, there lived and worked a young man named Brody. Brody had apprenticed himself unto a wizard of wires and cables.... otherwise known as an "electrician". Brody's master was a good sort, and encouraged Brody to learn arcane matters such as "amperage necessary to kill, and how to avoid same" and "the dance of the cables."
It is the latter that concerns us today.

Funniest post I've seen in a long time.

While attempting to find a better way to disperse air freshener, a New York City company has stumbled on a relatively practical and efficient way to produce hydrogen *and* electrical power, both at once.
