Travis the chimp was on drugs!!!
So, as it turns out, Sandra Herold (the Chimp's owner) had, in fact, given the hairy bastard Xanax in order to calm him down. Worked out pretty well I'd say.
Just to recap, Sandra Herold called her friend Charla Nash to help her get Travis back in the house. When Charla showed up Travis attacked her. Ms. Herold stabbed the furry virus factory twice with a kitchen knife to no effect. She then called the police. The attack lasted for 12 minutes ending only when police officers shot the knuckle dragging bastard after he tried to open a police cruiser door. Ms. Nash's injuries included the loss of both hands, her nose, her eyelids, and her lips, she also lost her sight. Ms. Nash's family is suing Sandra Herold for $50 million.

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!
Recently one of this blogs followers (thanks TRomp) sent me a link about counter-terrorism, politics and the like. I gave it a quick once over, and the article that struck me was one about an anti-radical Islam demostration in New York.
Something about this seemed to stick in my mind. Something wasn't right. I couldn't put my finger on it for a couple of days. Then it dawned on me while I was in the shower (where I was had nothing to do with my revelation, but now you're thinking about me in the shower. Boo Yah!). These people were demonstrating against someone else's belief system.
Let's get one thing straight before we move on. I do not condone terrorism, beheadings, killing innocents, and being a general international douchebag.
However, there are segments of Islam (Taliban, Islamic Jihad, Hamas, and others) that believe there are in fact Six Pillars of Islam, as opposed to the more mainstream belief of Five Pillars.
The Five Pillars are said to be Profession of Faith, Prayers, Giving of Alms, Fasting during Ramadan, and Pilgrammage to Mecca. The Sixth Pillar is said to be Jihad.
Jihad is an external struggle against the enemies of Islam.
This sounds familiar. Where have I heard something like this before? Hmmm, it happened in the same area...Oh right! The Crusades! Kill the infidels and all that.
But, that was almost a thousand years ago. Hmm, is there anything a little more recent? How about the Spanish Inquisition? That lasted from 1478 until 1834. Killing and burning their way around Europe. "Are you Catholic? No?!? Burn !!".
I'm sure if I gave this a little more thought I could come up with a dozen more examples. Not just with catholics, but probably every religion has a few skeletons in their respective closets.
"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone", people the world over would do well to heed this particular biblical passage. Including Radical Islamists.

The new trailer for the Batman: Arkham Asylum game made me do something obscene in my pants!

Does this seem like a bad idea to anyone else?
So, I've recently noticed noticed a couple of strange science freaks in the news lately.
The first is glowing dogs. Apparently, some freaky South Korean scientists have cloned dogs that glow a fluorescent red. Okay, kinda cool. A lot creepy. Basically, they are normal looking beagles that glow red under ultraviolet light. They probably could have saved a lot of time and money if they had just sent normal dogs to a North Korean nuclear power plant. Bigity bam, cheap glowing dogs! Read a news article about the scintillating schnauzers here.
The second is a crossbreed of a sheep and a pig. Aptly named a sheeppig. Not too imaginative if I may say. Why in the hell would anyone even want to do this. It's not like they crossbred two cute animals to create some sort of uber-cute kitten/baby seal/unicorn creature. No, they picked what are probably the two ugliest farm animals and came up with this. Gahh! What a vile looking beast. The only way it could have been worse would have been a monkey and a cow. Or Oprah and Dr. Phil...
Seriously, this sort of thing can only lead to bad things happening, like cross species viruses (you think swine flu is bad, wait for sheeppig flu), or glowing puppy turds.
Actually, glowing puppy turds may not be such a bad thing, you wouldn't accidentally step on them in the dark.
