YT Poster: “By all accounts, jellyfish are creatures that kill people, eat microbes, grow to tens of meters, filter phytoplankton, take over ecosystems, and live forever. Because of the immense diversity of gelatinous plankton, jelly-like creatures can individually have each of these properties. However this way of looking at them both overstates and underestimates their true diversity. Taxonomically, they are far more varied than a handful of exemplars that are used to represent jellyfish or especially the so-called “true” jellyfish. Ecologically, they are even more adaptable than one would expect by looking only at the conspicuous bloom forming families and species that draw most of the attention. In reality, the most abundant and diverse gelatinous groups in the ocean are not the ones that anyone ever sees.”
An interesting interview with Nate Phelps, estranged son of the infamous Fred Phelps of the Westboro ‘God Hates Fags’ Baptist church.
“I have two grandchildren: Maggie is 11; Robert is 9,” Gingrich said at Cornerstone Church here. “I am convinced that if we do not decisively win the struggle over the nature of America, by the time they’re my age they will be in a secular atheist country, potentially one dominated by radical Islamists and with no understanding of what it once meant to be an American.” - Newt Gingrich
Nothing worse than radical secular Islamic atheists. A Paradoxical force that could rip apart existence as we know it, bending space and time into a quantum singularity where all realities exist in the same place at the same time.
As much as I may dislike the Russian FOX NEWS, they do occasionally have some good guests. In a perfect world Kucinich would be electable, of course in a perfect world you wouldn’t need politicians.
I know this has probably been all over the internet by now, but I’m posting it anyways. Just too awesome not to.
“…the former Minnesota governor claims that airport full-body scans and pat-downs violate his Constitutional right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures… Before November, 2010, Ventura had to go through a non-invasive hand-wand inspection when he set off the alarm. But since new security measures took effect last November, Ventura says he has been subject to pat-down body searches or whole body imaging, which uses backscatter x-ray or millimeter wave technology to look through clothing for weapons or explosive material. Ventura, who has to fly two or three times a week for his television show, said in his lawsuit that the full-body scans are “intrusive” and “degrading,” as well as a possible health risk, while the pat-downs include “touching, gripping and rubbing of the genital and other sensitive areas.”
Ventura noted that he has to go through the scans despite the fact that he is a frequent flyer, a former governor, a U.S. Navy veteran, and has an easily verifiable medical condition. Ventura could not immediately be reached for comment Tuesday.”
“Samtaesung (Food) and Cool Beverages calls their sandwiches “minced meat and bread” to avoid using the American word “hamburger”.”
Wow I’d hate to live in a country so petty they change the name of common foods as some kind of a snub against a country they’re having a disagreement with… I wonder if they serve freedom fries over there.
