• 4th Grader Pens Epic Letter to Local Meteorologist: ‘Unicorn Servants Will Feed You Doughnuts Off Their Horns’

  Poor kid is more likely to grow up to be a politician. Power tripping illusions of grandeur and endless promises.

• USDA Buys 7 Million Pounds of ‘Pink Slime’ For School Lunches

  Two sides to the issue. First off, even TRADITIONAL food is like this. It is merely a technological step beyond hot dogs and hamburgers. It is a use of what would otherwise be scrap to make a CHEAP and still nutritionally useful additive and save on waste. For a cash strapped government, and a cash strapped people, scraps are FAR better than nothing. The fact that it is processed DOES mean that it is subject to contamination in the same sort of way that improperly butchered beef ground into hamburger can harm you. (FYI that is why it is recommended that you FULLY cook hamburger) This sort of “soylent green” crap (was made of dead PEOPLE in the book) shows the utter ignorance that has run rampant in our big cities about the reality of our food chain as part of our DE-educational system. New Yorkers LOVE their hot dogs but don’t think for a SECOND what is actually IN them or how they are made. SAME THING!! SAME PROCESSES!! Waste not, want not? Your mental perception is being manipulated by lies. Any “soylent green” reference is meant to turn you away from the product by associating it with a distasteful lie. On the other hand, if you WANT the waste, you’re going to have more people competing in price for the better cuts. Free market result? HIGHER prices. Visit a farm that butchers its own meat and watch the process from on the hoof to on the plate and you’ll have a better appreciation for the process. Otherwise its just city-folk miseducated hysteria

  The Boeing test certification series ones are always the best. Top pilots pushing to the limits.

• Only Eight Pilots Are Qualified to Land on This ‘Terrifying’ Runway

  In reply to the bamster.

  Your airport is Toncontin, Tegucigalpa, Honduras. AA has special training requirements for that one also. You have to follow right down the mountain to land and you require every inch of runway you can get in order to get stopped. Lots of good video. Search youtube for tegucigalpa airport landing.
  In typically ratty midwest weather combined with Lake (Michigan) effect snow, Chicago Midway is as hairy as any of them.

• NFL Receiver‘s Mocked ’Flop’ Scientifically Found to Be a Fraud — Really

  November 30, 2011 at 5:36pm

  Suh is suffering the same perception problem. They WAY overblew the last episode that cost him. If you actually look at the replay the same way (scientifically) you can see he was being held onto and was desperately trying to EXTRICATE himself from the tangle and not trying to abuse the other player. Poor perception plays a huge part in all this baloney. NFL is turning into pro wrestling. What a waste.

• Mission Extended For Secretive Air Force UAV That’s Orbiting the Earth

  It ain’t NASA. It is Air Force and probably Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).

• Pandemic Possible? Scientist Genetically Modifies Bird Flu With Scary Results

  November 28, 2011 at 9:25pm

  It was a (natural) virus that killed the dinosaurs. That is what also ALWAYS kills sentient beings and why no aliens have ever escaped from their solar systems to explore the rest of their galaxy. They get JUST smart enough to kill themselves and have to start from scratch again.

• ‘Very Afraid’: 66-Year-Old Woman Shoots and Kills Home Intruder

  The legal system stopped being about crime and justice long ago. Now it is simply another means to tax the regular citizens with fines and legal fees and extract more nominal taxes from them via the fear that it never deals with. Sad to say, but law enforcement is going to end up going back to the individual people. The wild west is on its way back.

• Steelers’ Polamalu Fined $10k for Calling Wife From Sideline After Possible Concussion

  Exactly!! …and College ball is headed that direction. So sad.

• Marines Jailed & Fined for Entering Into Fraudulent Marriages With Lesbians

  In reply to Opino1984.

  Exactly. You lose a LOT of rights entering into military service. That is the big tradeoff for the benefits you get back in return. The fewer rights you give up, the less motivation there is for the payout and the more reason there is for severe punishments for breaking the ones that remain. The “service to oneself” is slowly overtaking the “service to one’s country” in the military. People are forgetting again how critical national defense is.
