  2. Hobbit release slated for… December 2012. Damn you, Kukulcan!!![/quote]

    Oh Mah Gawd!!! Can’t wait for these films. I’m anxious about it being split in 2 parts. Might as well wait for the second movie to come out and get the DVD of the first, the anxiety would be overwhelming having to wait in-between films.

  3. Ummm… RPJ?
    Re: Hobbit release slated for… December 2012. Damn you, Kukulcan!!!

    Excuse me, RPJ… I have a question… of a sort. You see, I really never got into JRR or the Hobbit. I mean, I was there when it first really burst forth into the counter culture and became something of an acid trip by way of the written word.

    But… I just never partook. Go figure.

    Anyway, from the wording of your story/link lead, am I to assume that Mr. Hobbit is being held prisoner by a Mayan deity until the very last month of this age?

    Wow! That is crazy! I love the concept! I mean… if that is the case.

    Serious as a broken… pelvistoe… record, I remain…

    Your favorite pain 🙂

    1. Lemme explain
      Kukulcan is the Mayan god of the feathered serpent.

      In The Hobbit, Bilbo goes to a mountain where the dragon Smaug lives.

      Mexico city is 12,894 ft above sea level —that’s why Mariachis oftentimes sound like yodeling— and is covered in smog.

      ERGO…

      Peter Jackson is either the Anti-Christ, or the new Messiah —in any case, you’d better not wait for the movie to be released in Blu-ray 😛

  4. a few things
    one: i reiterate, what doesn’t cause cancer? every week there is a new cancer study that says you’re f***ked if you so much as walk down the street. do you know what kills people who talk to much on their cell phones? not lookin’ both ways when they cross the road or driving while talking (i.e. stupidity).

    two: i think a vulture would be a good idea, but dogs can do that just as well and for the same reason behind it….they want to eat the body 😛

    woof

    1. What doesn’t cause cancer?
      I somewhat agree with you… up to a point.

      The thing is that yes— there are many things out there that can make people sick. But that depends on the person.

      A man could smoke for 40 years and never suffer from lung cancer; whereas another could get melanoma just for one camping trip when he forgot to apply sun block.

      There might come a time when we’ll all get a complete genetic screening that will help us plan our life according to the particular things we should frequent or avoid. But until that day comes, better to be aware of the risks.

      1. you can
        you can get a genetic work up to find out what you are genetically predisposed to, and from that prepare yourself and take care of yourself better.

  5. I believe you may have gotten
    I believe you may have gotten your quotation marks in the wrong places. Shouldn’t the headline read,

    “Police ‘train’ vultures to sniff out the dead.”?

    Seems to me they’re already pretty good at that.

    1. Or rather
      Or rather, it should have said “police learn how to tell when a vulture has snuff out the dead” 😉

      Or maybe they are just training the vulture to refrain from snacking on the homicide evidence once they find their target 😛
