Seriously now - you’ve all got to have one hell of a laugh at this article. Hey ladies - don’t be fat because that’s unattractive, but also - don’t run because you’ll get all saggy and your tits wont be as hot! Shuuut up.

"The end result is likely to be hurt and saggy instead of the cute and little."

That’s just… … … Hilarious. My sister lost a ton of weight from running - as did my aunt Mel. (Well, then Aunt Mel had 2 babies… so she gained it all again). But neither of them ended up saggy… Or hurt. CUSS has more.

You can see that Abstract Nonsense was taken off my blog roll - its because Alon is co-blogging at Appletree now, everything but his math posts will be over there. I rarely read the math posts anyway - so now I just go to Appletree and save the trip. His latest post only makes me think one thing… "All that money spent on war and weapons, yet the fight against global warming is too expensive…"

More evidence pops up daily that humans are huge fuck-ups and that we’re the reason we’re all going to die from natural disasters in the near future. (Near on a geological scale… …well SUPER DUPER DUPER near on a geological time scale…(-: )

The magnitude-5.6 quake that struck Newcastle, in New South Wales, on
December 28, 1989, killed 13 people, injured 160, and caused 3.5
billion U.S. dollars worth of damage (Australia map).

That quake was triggered by changes in tectonic forces caused by 200
years of underground coal mining, according to a study by Christian D.
Klose of Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in
Palisades, New York.

I hate my species. That should be a shirt!

Oh and PS - Rock on Nacy Pelosi!

Representative Nancy Pelosi made history yesterday when she
became the first ever woman Speaker of the House. After a roll call on
the floor of the House of Representatives, the new 110th Congress
elected Pelosi,
an Italian-American feminist as their Speaker.
As Pelosi took the Speaker’s gavel for the first time, she announced,
"I accept this gavel in the spirit of partnership, not partisanship."

Woot! and I also read this today - Togo hearts abortions ergo I heart Togo. You really need to read the entire headline of that article or you get a little bit of a scare…

The African nation of Togo has become one just a handful of countries on the continent to legalize some forms
of abortion. The western African nation now allows abortions in cases
of rape or incest and the change is seen as a possible harbinger of
things to come as pro-abortion groups seek to topple pro-life laws in Africa.
         

According
to a Reuters report, the small country recently published a new abortion law.

The law says abortions can only be done by a doctor in rape or incest cases. Abortions are allowed "if there is a strong risk that the unborn child will by affected by a particularly serious medical
condition."

And just a couple peices of Canada news before I turn in for the night. (aka go watch Almost Famous because I’ve basically stopped sleeping…) There is a new show on Canadian television… Little Mosque on the Prairie. I’ve never wanted to watch a tv show so badly in my life.

In the advance scenes of a new Canadian
television comedy, a Muslim man stands in an airport queue talking to
his mother on a mobile telephone.

 
"Don’t put Dad on the phone," he implores. "I’ve been planning this
for months, it’s not like I dropped a bomb on him. If Dad thinks it’s
suicide, then so be it. This is Allah’s plan for me."

 
The passenger in front of him, a sensibly stout Canadian, cranes
her neck to listen in on the conversation, becoming increasingly and
comically alarmed. As she rushes off to tell the authorities, the man
finishes his sentence.

 
"I’m moving to the prairies to run a mosque."

BWA …it better be hilarious.

Other than that… In canada a Bishop is apparently "reaching out" to natives. You know… if he really wanted to help he could shut his preaching yap and raise some money for their education or something… Or start a shit storm to the government about the horrible housing conditions they’re putting up with. …Or start up some unemployment agencies that could help them out… Honestly - why is preaching going to help them at all? The natives have no jobs, no money, no education, their children huff gas and we won’t even help them… with any of that. …But we’ll preach. …Geez louise.

Global warming is still effecting Canada, ashley was pissy that she went for a run in 10 degree weather the other day over in Ontario. It just isn’t right… it should be snowing buckets over there by now. And up where it actually is snowy… 3 were killed and 2 were hurt in a shooting.
