Of Interest

Some of the things I've learned today from just a slight perusing of today's headlines:

In a pinch, you can use a mixture of toothpaste and pancake batter to conceal a "booty call" tunnel.

Apparently there is trouble in Scott City Missouri, inmates used a crude digging tool fashioned out of common prison materials ala' MacGyver, then cut a cement block out of a wall in order to allow a female prisoner to enter the cell of a male inmate, probably to recite Russian poetry and proper shiv technique. To avoid getting caught, they created a mixture of tooth paste and pancake batter to cover the hole and prevent it from being detected.


Canadian petro companies are considering using nuclear energy to pump oil.

Does anyone find it ironic that a company that exists to gain profit from burning fossil fuels, is considering using a competitive form of energy to perform their business? It's almost like Bill Gates using a Mac. Makes me wonder how the environmentalists are thinking about this?


If you shave off all your hair and cover your bald head in racist tattoos, you might be able to "blend" back into society.

Another white supremacist kills someone to escape prison. Normally someone that escapes from prison tries to hide; avoid being discovered; let's say "blend-in" regardless of the methods they use to effect this. I don't think its a stretch to say that. The guy here on the left that you're looking at is that guy. I'll let the photo do the talking on this.




Giant-Ass Penguins Roamed Ancient Peru

I know most people could care less about news of this type, but it has always fascinated me. It always takes me back to my childhood and allows me to look at life as a child once again. Think about it, wouldn't the world be a much more interesting place if 5 foot tall penguins wandered through the equator? Sometimes if I'm walking in a nature preserve or wooded area and stumble upon a goose, it hisses and startles me, sending my heart racing. Just imagine yourself in only Bermuda shorts, flip flops, and suntan oil laying on a Caribbean beach and a giant bird only slightly shorter than Sylvester Stallone appears out of no where? It would scare the living crap out of me. Just check out the picture of the fossil with this giant beak and I think you'll understand.

That's all I've got for today.
