"(The fish) seemed to be struggling a little bit, as it would swim around, it would try to swim in a straight line but the jellyfish would knock it off course, would send it in little circles or loops.
...
The publication quoted Ian Tibbetts, a marine biologist at the Center for Marine Science at the University of Queensland, who suggests the fish could be a juvenile trevally, which are known to use jellyfish stingers as protection.

"It's difficult to tell whether disaster has just struck, or whether the fish is happy to be in there," he is quoted as saying.

"Although by the photographer's description of the fish swimming, my guess is that it is probably quite happy to be protected in there"

I'm going with my original theory that that particular fish is the Tony Stark of his kind and he built that power suit out of discarded jellyfish parts.

That may have been my favourite time for politics. Watching clips of conservative news talking heads using the term with a straight face over and over again, followed by less than conservative news talking heads trying to keep a straight face and failing while using the term.

That was the best.

Seeing Forrest Gump on again I got interested in looking into the filming locations. And now as years ago I will swear that the tree they say is the one from the movie IS NOT the same tree. Just no way. Look at pics of them. Nope no way.

I got nothing.

The Food and Drug Administration is warning the public that taking extreme doses of over-the-counter anti-diarrhea medicine such as Imodium can have very serious effects and possibly be fatal. The warning, sent Tuesday, comes amid a string of deaths resulting from people taking too much of the medicine, which they're using as a substitute for powerful opioids and other painkillers.
...
Loperamide can produce a cheap high in very large doses. It can also cause serious heart problems that can be deadly.
...
In large doses — the FDA did not say specifically how large — loperamide can cause serious heart problems such as an irregular heartbeat, which can be fatal. A study published last month detailed two cases in New York of people who attempted to self-treat their opioid addiction by taking anti-diarrhea medicine and died.

I am older than Abe Vigoda.
I watched Barney Miller all day today and my favorite character, Fish.
I got to looking things up and found out he was only in his mid 50s when he started the show and in his early 60s when it ended.
I'm in my late 60s now.

Though, at 5.4 Million for the set, it would have to be somebody as well off as Bruce Wayne or Tony Stark to afford them.

Of course, you'll naturally want to load them up with the Sodium/Potassium bullets.

Let's see, you're an aspiring Canadian supervillian, so... Your plan probably involves weaponry with the appearance of a firearm forged from a nickel-steel meteorite (sourced from Sudbury) but the functionality of a paintball marker, with maple syrup-based dyes and a surprise fire-ant finishing move.

No, it actually is The Green Goo. According to our* files, he took his nom de guerre from the substance he sold to the American pork-industrial complex in order to allow them to manufacture "Canadian bacon" (which is neither bacon nor Canadian). It's basically soylent green, just without the pleasant crunch.

Is this meteorite made of some special material or just iron?

Rip · Post by **Rip** » Fri Jun 10, 2016 4:10 am

Now we know what those Canadians up there are really up to.

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government ... x-animals/

Canada’s highest court has just ruled that some sex acts between humans and animals are legal.
In a quixotic ruling, the country’s high court ruled that a man who was on trial for raping and sexually exploiting his own daughters wasn’t guilty of “bestiality.” The man reportedly, “smeared peanut butter on the genitals of his victims and had the family dog lick it off while he videotaped the act.”

The convicted man took his case to the Canadian Supreme Court, demanding that the bestiality charge be nullified. In the end, the court agreed.

As a result of the rape case, the court ruled 7 to 1 that humans having sexual contact with animals is OK if there is no “penetration” involved in the act.

In its ruling, the court decided that the legislature had not clearly defined the terms in the country’s bestiality laws and the way the statute is written should be read to only outlaw animal penetration, whether that penetration is animal to human or vice versa.

“Although bestiality was often subsumed in terms such as sodomy or buggery, penetration was the essence — ‘the defining act’ — of the offense,” the court’s ruling states as reported by The Independent.

The high court’s lone dissenter, though, said the ruling would mean open season for the sexual exploitation of animals.

“Acts with animals that have a sexual purpose are inherently exploitative whether or not penetration occurs,” Justice Rosalie Abella wrote in her dissent.

Just watched Sorcerer's Apprentice 2010 version with Nicolas Cage and it was surprisingly good...damn good. Granted the guy who played Dave played him very annoyingly but over all great movie with a fun story and fun villain. I even liked the ending for once.

And oh great now National treasure is on. I cant stop watching. I need to sleep! Ive not been in bed...sigh...must resist watching. Maybe its a Nicolas Cage marathon.

Mobsters going to mob:

The human remains unearthed in March behind a Providence mill complex owned by a reputed mob associate were those of a South Boston nightclub manager who vanished in 1993, the FBI said Thursday night.

The FBI said in a statement that the Rhode Island state medical examiner’s office had identified the remains as belonging to Steven A. DiSarro, a former Westwood resident who was 43 when he disappeared in May 1993. He was the former manager of the now-defunct Channel nightclub.
...
DiSarro’s remains were found on March 31 behind a complex at 715 Branch Ave. in Providence owned by reputed mob associate William L. Ricci, after an unidentified tipster said investigators would find DiSarro there.

About three weeks before the discovery, Ricci, 69, pleaded guilty to allowing his property to be used for a large-scale indoor marijuana cultivation operation. As part of a plea agreement, prosecutors dismissed two other charges against him.
...
Notorious gangster Stephen “The Rifleman” Flemmi told federal and state authorities in 2003 that he walked in on the murder of DiSarro on May 10, 1993, at the Sharon, Mass., home of Salemme’s ex-wife, according to a Drug Enforcement Administration report filed in federal court in Boston.

Flemmi said Salemme and two other men were watching as Salemme’s son, Frank, strangled DiSarro. He identified those men as Francis Salemme’s younger brother John and a friend of Francis named Paul Weadick.
...
Flemmi told authorities that Francis Salemme also said Rhode Island mobster Robert DeLuca “was present during the burial” of DiSarro, according to the report. An FBI affidavit filed in support of Ricci’s arrest last year described him as a longstanding Mafia associate who was close to DeLuca.

Francis Salemme’s son died in 1995. By the time Flemmi implicated the elder Salemme in DiSarro’s slaying, the former Mafia don was already in the witness protection program for cooperating with the prosecution of South Boston crime boss James “Whitey” Bulger and his corrupt FBI handler, John J. Connolly Jr.
...
Flemmi, who pleaded guilty to his role in 10 murders and is serving a life sentence, was the longtime sidekick of Bulger and was a key witness at the gangster’s 2013 trial.
