Something that was thrown up on FB that made me chuckle.

 

 


Please don't send me invitations to the stupid "don't tell the men" breast cancer thing. Breast cancer isn't some secret club that only women know about. Men get it, too.

You want to raise awareness? Dump some ice water on your boobs and film it. Posting random fruit on FB does nothing.

Medicine residue causes doped up fishies to live a longer, more interesting life:

 

"Study: Residue of psychoactive drugs in water also treat perch

 

Pollutants in water systems are not always unequivocally harmful to aquatic animals. A Swedish study revealed that residue of psychopharmaceuticals used to treat anxiety lower the mortality rate of perch.

 

Umeå University has long performed groundbreaking research on the effects that pharmaceutical drug residue produces on the behaviour of fish. A study published last year showed that remnants of oxazepam, a drug used for anxiety, resulted in braver and more curious activity among normally timid fish. Individuals exposed to the drug examined their surroundings more freely than normally."

Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.

Something I found to be quite funny today was discovering how many followers Zbigniew Brzezinski has on Twitter. Given how the service skews young, it's surprising to me how many users have even heard of the man.

“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

Ah well, I didn't find it on a search, but my search-fu is having some trouble.

I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

Oh I didn't mean that it was posted here, I just meant that the video it self is old.
