POPSThe Bronx Zoo Is Having To Lay Off Lots of Animals
And later that afternoon he actually saw an ostrich putting ketchup on a penguin. Zoo Director Muckenmuch said that on average about two million people visit the 114 year-old institution annually. He remarked that so far this year the Bronx Zoo has had a total of 917 visitors and that includes the three social workers who recently came in to give one of the older giraffes an enema. Muckenmuck said that just this morning he was told by one of his zoo employees that he had observed two of the kangaroos fighting over who would get to eat the empty food dish. As he looked out the window, he could clearly see one of the zoo vultures trying to put an otter between two slices of bread. Muckenmuck said that these are not pretty pictures and that is one of the reasons why a lot of the parents are keeping their kids away from the zoo. He lamented that it's sad to see all of these wonderful animals turning into cannibals. And the way things are going Muckenmuck says that he's af

POPSSuspension Lifted for 1st grader Finally a common sense decision. When i read about this yesterday it made my blood boil and i did email the school. More people should express their pinions, sometimes it helps. Not that they paid any attention at all to my rambling. But i did point out that schools have gone to far. IT'S one thing to protect our kids but common sense needs to be used as well. Otherwise the terrorists did accomplish their mission by placing this country in such a paranoid state we may as well have let the Nazi's win. "Do as we say and like it" is what i thought we we fighting against in Arab world and other countries. Point is never feel complacent and like anything you have to say don't matter. Maybe as single input it don't but when merged with hundreds of others people take notice. Speak up and fight for what you think is right otherwise we are no longer a free country. Rather led by the hand being told what and what not to do.

POPSParasite Causing Deformities in Frogs "Once the parasitic crustaceans enter the gills of a tadpole victim, they feed off the tadpole's tissues until male and female parasites mate. The male dies soon after. Meanwhile the fertilized female bores her way partially out of the tadpole. The female worm's head and part of its body then morph into an anchor-like growth attached to the base of the tadpole's tail or to its legs. The parasite's egg sac is attached to this external growth, but part of the female parasite remains inside the tadpole's body and damages internal tissues. " There is more information at the source article.

POPSProgress But comfort yourselves. Children may not know how to handle cutlery, but if UNESCO has its way they will soon be instructed, from the age of five, in the joys of masturbation.

POPSEnergetic Medicine Research (healing devices and links) Homeopathy Who started it? Homeopathy extends at least as far back as the Ancient Greeks, the modern "father of homeopathy" was the German physician Samuel Hahnemann, who began outlining his theories of "medical similars" in a series of articles and monographs in 1796. How does it work? Homeopathic remedies are "succussed," or shaken vigorously with each dilution to increase their vibratory field. They are thought to work by stimulating the body's own healing energy, rather like a tuning fork that sets disharmonious chords back on track. Homeopathic remedies consist of minute does of natural substances - mineral, plant or animal, that if given to healthy people in large does would cause the symptoms the patient is experiencing. The principle is similar to that of pharmaceutical vaccination, but vaccines are macromolecules that can induce unwanted side effects.

POPSChallenging Authority for Good Speading the truth about our over-consumptive consumer culture and our modern food system can benefit us all tremendously. The more aware we become the healthier we will become. It’s a domino effect, we eat healthier, we stay away from health-related problems, we pay out less for health care, we live longer. I mean, where’s the downside? The blog lists some great learning sources: books, videos, and online sites that encourages we take part in global issues ranging from climate change to organic foods to clean water. We need to get this next generation interested and take advantage of their fresh ideas and youthful energy to keep it going. BTW, I've read all the books listed on the blog, except one and I just reserved that one at my library. They are very well written, informative and entertaining. Go get your self educated, trust me it won't hurt.

POPSStick A Fork in Mr. Van Jones… [updated] Oops. Now in complete fairness to Mr. Jones, I doubt that he was a died-in-the-wool 9/11 truther back in January 2002. Instead, I suspect he saw this march as an opportunity to attack, undermine, and de-legitimize the Bush Administration, and was happy to join in. However, he did so just four months after the worst attack on American soil in 60 years, and one that was a simultaneous attack on our financial, military, and political centers. My wife and I were living in DC itself on 9/11, just 4-5 miles due north of the Pentagon and roughly the same distance from the Mall (where United 93 would have crashed into either the White House or the US Capitol). I have no sympathy for Mr. Jones at all. I support his rights to freedom of speech and freedom of assembly, but he can’t distance himself from his choices and his timing. F.

POPSAustralian source of the forged "Kenyan" birth certificate? Orly Taitz is a liar and a forger and I hope they charge her and toss her in a cage as such. It's over, birthers. You've been proved to be lying (or at best deceived by cheap, easy tricks). You're so done, not only is there a fork in you, they're clearing the plates. About the birth certificate, SHUT YOU THE FUCK UP ALREADY!
