How about "goose"?

A little decorum, Madame.

What were you thinking?

So ... you want to be a goat?

I woke up the other morning with the terrible urge to f*** like a rabbit. Who knew?

....... In China, there are 29 goats running around on a farm with human cells coursing through their organs, a result of scientists dropping human blood cells into goat embryos.

The mixing of humans and animals in the name of medicine has been going on for decades. People are walking around with pig valves in their hearts and scientists have routinely injected human cells into lab mice to mimic diseases.

But the research is becoming increasingly exotic as scientists work with the brains of mice, monkeys and other mammals and begin fiddling with the hot-button issue of cloning. Harvard University researchers are attempting to clone human embryonic cells in rabbit eggs. ......

My bold.

Harvard! The bastion of ethics! Harbinger of the ether bunny. Doctors of strange love. Masters of the deviant.

If North Korea lobs a missile over the Yukon and Nunavut ... should we blink?

It's interesting that CTV tonight showed the missile trajectory somewhere along the 48th parallel. Fox News graphics were a little more, shall we say ... graphic.

This story is being buried in the Canadian media .... all links are being stuffed below the folds .... somewhere near the foot of the bed. It's a chinch.

As for Vancouver, Calgary and Winnipeg ... well, we know we couldn't possibly get in the way. We're too nice.

It's Fathers' Day, isn't it.

To all you great Dads out there ... have a happy one!

It's International Co-Ed Nekkid Blogging Day!

Darn it! Stupid technically challenged crappy web-cam won't focus!



There's an art to it! Well ... all y'all will have to bare with me while I try to fix it. Meantime ... let's see if we can track down the other nekkid bloggers .......

The tour starts with Matt, Miriam, Carin, Gail, Air Force Wife, Loopy Libertarian, and the usual suspect. It's starting to look like I'm the "inter" in "national".

Naw ... reporters aren't creating the news. They just make up shit!

Maybe this will help.

Home grown terrorists ... and you really thought this was just a fairy tale?

The RCMP reports:

TORONTO, ON – June 3, 2006 – On Friday, June 2, 2006, members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and partners of the Integrated National Security Enforcement Team arrested 12 individuals and charged them under Section 83 of the Criminal Code of Canada.

“This group took steps to acquire three tonnes of ammonium nitrate and other components necessary to create explosive devices,” said Assistant Commissioner Mike McDonell. “To put this in context, the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City that killed 168 people took one tonne of ammonium nitrate.”

Arrested and charged with offences under the Criminal Code of Canada are:

1. Fahim Ahmad, 21, of Robinstone Drive, Toronto, Ontario;
2. Zakaria Amara, 20, of Periwinkle Crescent, Mississauga, Ontario;
3. Asad Ansari, 21, of Rosehurst Drive, Mississauga, Ontario;
4. Shareef Abdelhaleen, 30, of Lowville Heights, Mississauga, Ontario;
5. Qayyum Abdul Jamal, 43, of Montevideo Road, Mississauga, Ontario;
6. Mohammed Dirie, 22, Kingston, Ontario;
7. YasimAbdi Mohamed, 24, Kingston, Ontario;
8. Jahmaal James, 23, of Trudelle Street, Toronto, Ontario;
9. Amin Mohamed Durrani, 19, of Stonehill Court, Toronto, Ontario;
10. Steven Vikash Chand alias Abdul Shakur, 25, of Treverton Drive, Toronto, Ontario;
11. Ahmad Mustafa Ghany, 21, of Robin Drive, Mississauga, Ontario;
12. Saad Khalid, 19, of Eclipse Avenue, Mississauga, Ontario.

Five more "youths" were picked up under the Young Offenders Act.
