Rams in the north of england fitted with harnesses and dyed packs to indicate which of the ewes in their flock have been serviced have been getting ‘bored’ and turning on one another in what can only be described as an ovine gay frenzy !

Gives an entirely new meaning to ‘getting fleeced’

“If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; . . . If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same . . . Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it.”

Or….alternatively you could just grab a buddy and amid the hand-wringing, woe is us media frenzy infront of Lehman Brothers snog the crap out of your buddy on live US TV….good job guys. Made me laugh in the midst of a tough day.

I must have one !??

I’m most definitely not one of those ‘black helicopters’, Areas51 conspiracy theorist-types however the new that some of the worlds largest printer manufacturers have had a document tracking protocol foisted on them by the US staggers me…

This from elReg details the broad-brush picture of the  problem.

And this great bit of work explains the implications of the tracking protocol implemented on these printers…

Just amazing…minority report and those iris scanners are only just around the corner….see if they’re not !

When Tammy Jean (40) married Michael in Texas in 2002 little did she know that Michael (56) had a secret.

Michael was an alcoholic.

Not an ordinary alcoholic but an alcoholic who liked to take his liquor….well, rectally.

The Texan machine shop operator couldn’t ingest alcohol by mouth (apparently due to painful medical problems with his throat) so instead elected to receive his favourite beverage via enema.

Essentially the resultant effect was the same, however when the rest of us have had enough we simply stop drinking (or pass out), however when Michael had had enough (and subsequently passed out), the alcohol remaining in his rectal cavity continued to be absorbed.

Rather than dissuade Michael from ‘drinking’, Tammy assisted him in his pursuits… by supplying (in May 2004) not one but two 1.5 litre bottles of Sherry.

Michael was in for one hell of a party! More than 100 fluid ounces of sweet, sweet sherry….right up your old address!

Tammy performed her marital duties admirably, and ‘administered’ to her husbands every need. Unfortunately, when she awoke the next morning Michael was dead in the bed beside her.

A subsequent autopsy found that Michaels blood alcohol level was (wait for it..!!) 0.47% … 6 times the legal intoxication limit in Texas.

As if further proof were needed…in the annals of history how many men and women have presented themselves half-cut to ‘get ink’ ? And how many go wrong wrong wrong !!!

This is a shame but one can’t help a degree of schadenfreude ! You really ought not to laugh…much ;0)

Intelligent Design…my @rse !
This little snippet caught my eye…Once I’d wiped the screen down and lowered my voice from the raving levels it had reached while reading, I settled down to try and understand some of the implications of ‘ID’ and it’s propagation as an alternative to Evolutionary theory.

Wooohooooo !??! There MAY be some hope for our cousins across the pond…following my recent rant about the teaching of Intelligent (sic!) Design in Schools in a state in the US, Pennsylvania has (rightly in my opinion) banned it as effectively teaching creationism - ergo - teaching religion…which incase you weren’t aware is illegal in the states….

Oh man…you can get an full auto assault weapon and buy rounds by the 1000 like you or I would pop out and buy a pint of milk but they don’t teach religion. Snort…
