Isn’t time Indy finally went to that ‘A’ place? You know, the one that ends with ‘-tlantis’??

Quote of the Day:

“The layman always means, when he says “reality” that he is speaking of something self-evidently known; whereas to me it seems the most important and exceedingly difficult task of our time is to work on the construction of a new idea of reality.”

~Wolfgang Pauli

  1. In the Lantis
    How far back before you can’t understand Charles Barkley?

    And it was just a few weeks ago that I thought I understood more “Wonderful Things” had been discovered behind the wall of Tut’s tomb and there was going to be an official announcement in April? Why do I get the feeling there’s a 90% chance of getting hugely disappointed now?

  2. from the Pullin-the-Valentine-Jules-Dept.
    i see that the villain organization, Kingsman, has branched out in the species of their operatives

    “where is rpj’s lupins kept? 1 hoofbeat for in his bathroom, 2 hoofbeats for in his wok, 3 hoofbeats for in his RAW collection, 4…”

    And they work for sugar cubes

  3. news +1
    Indy: So Crystal Skulls wasn’t big enough of a box office spanking? Great… -_-

    Tully: Correction, when evolution just says “Fuck It.”

    Disney: Last night I heard there is a Alice in Wonderland 2 coming out (Tim Burton version) and thought, I’m gonna need to be high for this one.

    Shkreli: I get the feeling that if this man was lit on fire, rather than screaming in pain he would still have that smirk on his face. Smiling and laughing as he burned, like the Devil.

    Horses: This is one of those “Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should” moments. That horse looks like it’s pissed.

    Also on a happier note, no more Orca harassment…mostly:

    I guess when you realize that 90% of your bullshit won’t be put up with by people, you also realize that your company is hemorrhaging money because 90% of us don’t like seeing whales as slaves. And by 90% I mean all of humanity, as Seaworld was condemned in many other countries.

        Sadly, the effect of “charasmatic megafauna” penetrates even to those we “trust” to help bring awareness to these animals. Several creatures go unnoticed, especially if they have been deemed “evil” or personified with bad human attributes. We should help the orcas, but also the wolves, snakes, the frogs, etc. I honestly hate what the term “animal activist” has become. You say you want to help wolves and suddenly you’re a Twilight Deviantart Furry who doesn’t know any real facts about wolves. If you say you’re against zoos, well suddenly you’re a vegan. What the hell?

        Peter Watts is absolutely correct. Many activists are celebrity no-necks that know almost zero about the animal itself.

        There are some crazy animal activists (sad that I have to call them that) who think all humans should be killed or that we should all be vegan. Even if we stopped eating meat, we would have a surplus of cattle that we would still need to feed and take care of, unless you want to just abandon them to the wild and watch them all die off from milk fever and disease because no one gave them their vaccines that year. Animal activists never think forward or about the consequences because they don’t know animals. Talk to a livestock veterinarian with years of experience, then let me see how you think.

        Also vegan cat food is an awful idea. Cats need twice as much protein as dogs or their muscles and liver starts to break down. That’s why they are loosing weight, they aren’t getting nutrition. You don’t see them anymore because they’re dead! I remember seeing an episode of Wife Swap years ago were a woman had a vegan diet cat and the poor thing looked half dead. So the swapped wife fed it real cat food and it was so happy. Then when they switched back the cat’s owner couldn’t figure out why it refused the vegan cat food. I really hope the SPCA was watching this episode and someone saved the cat. If you want a vegan animal, get a horse. Dogs and cats shouldn’t apply to the vegan rule. They are animals, animals eat each other, get the hell over it! I would love it if the orcas got to eat a seal in the show, dying the whole pool red. Nature isn’t nice.
