KKK Roast Offered to Maker of Obama Sock Monkey

clipper's remarks: "Having led a moderately quiet lifestyle until now; our social calendar suddenly filled up with vivid and creative death threats," the statement said. "And last we heard, a posse of bloggers from back east are on their way over to conduct — how did they phrase it, a good ol' fashioned KKK house burning party at David & Elizabeth's. Kinda exciting stuff, but this in America?"

Early Monday, it appeared that a Barack Obama sock monkey created by a West Jordan couple and criticized as racially offensive was never actually going to be distributed. Both the contracted manufacturer, Binkley Toys Inc., and TheSockObama LLC apologized and claimed on their respective Web sites that it would not be manufactured.

"We are very apologetic to all who were upset by our toy idea," an apology appearing on TheSockObama company's Web site says. "We will not be proceeding with the manufacturing of this toy. Thank you."

Bishop said in his apology that he hadn't initially made the "racist connection." He was also initially surprised by the outcry, "but when viewing the toy again, I could see how people could make the connection."

They also issued a long news release that defended the monkey as a victim of double standards and unfair censorship.

"Having led a moderately quiet lifestyle until now; our social calendar suddenly filled up with vivid and creative death threats,"

myths about asthma

Sun, 08 Jun 2008 18:40:20 GMT

clipped by: silvanaraihane

Clip Source: www.snopes.com

Claim: Chihuahuas cure asthma.

Status: False.

I have encountered a weird one that is apparently quite popular in the Georgia US area: chihuahua dogs will 'take on' a child's asthma. The dog will pick out the one in the family with asthma and sleep on their chest, will cough, and one day will cough up black stuff and this cures the asthma sufferer. I couldn't believe my ears - my neighbor believes this 100% as advised by both her MD and a vet, she tried it and claims this has cured her son of asthma. I am now finding that many folks around here have heard of this.

Origins: Asthma is an inflammatory disorder of the bronchial tubes that affects more than 17 million Americans and causes more than 5,000 deaths per year. It is also the most common chronic childhood disorder, affecting 6.3 million children ( approximately 1 in 13 school-aged kids).

Maggots take up residence inside man's head

clipper's remarks: OMG how disgusting! I would have nightmares for the rest of my life!

Clip Source: www.thatsweird.net

It's the stuff nightmares and horror movies are made of.

A holidaymaker got a nasty shock when he learned that the strange bleeding bumps on his head were not bites or shingles, but live maggots.

Aaron Dallas, from Colorado, looked for medical help when the unusual lumps appeared on his scalp after a holiday to Belize during the summer.

One doctor thought they might have been caused by a gnat bite. Another believed his problem was shingles.

But then the bumps took on a life of their own and began to move.

A doctor discovered five bot fly larvae living inside Aaron Dallas's head, near the top of his skull. This was a few weeks after a mosquito had apparently placed them there.

"I'd put my hand back there and feel them moving. I thought it was blood coursing through my head. I could hear them. I actually thought I was going crazy," said Dallas, of Carbondale.

"It was weird and traumatic," he said. "I would get this pain that would drop me to my knees."

20 Things You Didn't Know About Sex

Sun, 13 Apr 2008 08:16:45 GMT

clipped by: Aribeth
clipper's remarks: 6 Barbary macaques have a distinctive way to get their mates to make a sperm donation: yelling. If the female does not shout, the male almost never climaxes.

7 How do we know this? German primatologist Dana Pfefferle watched a group of macaques, counting the females’ yells and the males’ pelvic thrusts. She says this work is “quite weird, but it’s science.”

8 Here in the US of A, that kind of stuff ends up on YouTube.

9 Because Barry White sounds terrible underwater: Fish can produce a variety of noises with their bones, teeth, and gas bladders. Grant Gilmore of Estuarine Coastal and Ocean Science Inc. says that male fish probably use some of these sounds to woo females.

10 The spiny anteater, an egg-laying mammal native to Australia and New Guinea, has a penis with four heads, but only two fit into the female at once.

11 The tiny male paper nautilus, an octopus, impregnates the much larger female by shooting his penis (a modified tentacle) into her—and leaving it there.

And you thought you knew everything...

1 Life emerged on earth about 3.8 billion years ago, but sex did not evolve until more than 2 billion years later. Dirty limericks emerged only quite recently, geologically speaking.

2 Sex—what is it good for? Scientists are not sure, since asexual reproduction is a better evolutionary strategy in some important ways.

3 For those who refuse to commit to one strategy: The hermaphroditic earthworm Dendrobaena rubida has both male and female genitalia. If it cannot find a partner, the worm doubles up so that its female bits and male bits can go to town.

4 Although famously monogamous, female Adélie penguins slip away from their mates occasionally to couple with unattached males. They exact a fee (pdf) for such a dalliance—stones to bolster their nests—not unlike certain people.

5 Some talented penguin teasers can get a gift even without putting out. Again, not unlike certain people.

Seven mysterious disappearances

Virginia Dare, 1587

Virginia Dare is just one of the many people (87 men, 17 women and 11 children, to be exact) from the island of Roanoke who disappeared without a trace.

it is Virginia’s grandfather

John White

who discovered that the colony was missing. In 1587, John sailed back to England for supplies and assistance for the colony. When he returned in 1590, everything was gone except for the infamous “CROATOAN” carved on a tree.

Theodosia Burr Alston, 1812

Benjamin Briggs and the passengers and crew of the Mary Celeste, 1872

Not that a missing ship is anything to be blasé about, but it wasn’t uncommon before modern technology was able to track ships. The Mary Celeste is interesting, though, because the ship was found – minus its passengers.

Flannan Isles Lighthouse Keepers, 1900

In December of 1900, the lighthouse keepers on the Flannan Isles off the coast of Scotland vanished.

Dorothy Arnold, 1910

Amelia Earhart, 1937

Don’t drink tea with empty stomach
- it hurts the organs

Don’t drink it when it is super duper hot

Don’t drink tea after having alcohol

Don’t drink strong tea

Don’t steep the tea for a long time

A tea bag or tea can only brew for 3-4 cups of tea
- You can get 50% of flavor or tea from the 1st cup of tea you brew
30% for the 2nd cup
10% for the 3rd cup
1-3% for the 4th cup of teaIf you continue to brew it for the next cup of tea, all you will get is the harmful substance.

Don’t drink tea before meal/eating
- It lower your appetite.

Don’t drink tea straight away after having meal/eating
- Best time to have a cup of tea - one hour after the meal because tea contain tannic acid and make it harder to digest the protein and iron we have from food.

Don’t mix or dirnk with medicine

Don’t drink the tea that left over for a long time
- If the tea left it for too long and not drinking it, the vitamins will be lost, and the protein and glucose inside the tea would develop as bacteria.

Specialist Sabrina Harman took hundreds of pictures, she says, to “just show what was going on, what was allowed to be done.”

The M.P.s of the 372nd were told to make themselves at home in an abandoned prison block, a compound ravaged by looters and invaded by the desert. The sand lay several inches deep in places, mixed with decomposing trash. Moving in meant digging out and sweeping up, and when you’d purged the debris—weird stuff, some of it; for instance, used syringes, which just made you wonder—what you had were bare prison cells.

On her first night at the prison, Specialist Sabrina Harman, a twenty-six-year-old M.P. from Virginia, wrote a letter home to the woman she called her wife:

Kelly
Its 9:00 pm and we can hear shots—no white lights are allowed to be on at night no leaving the building after dark. I hope we aren’t here long! We drove in and two helicopters were landed taking prisoners off.
I’m scared of helicopters because of the dream. I think I wrote it down before.

clipper's remarks: This was the easiest job I ever had. One day a year—one day—where all I have to do is look in the direction of my shadow, and I fuck it up. Way to go, Phil, way to go! Another one of your classic moves. Five measly minutes of work and I could've gone back to bed until April, but no. No, that would've been too easy for Mister Fucking Punxsatawney National Icon With His Own Holiday Phil.

The elders of the Punxsatawney Circle are going to be so freaking pissed. They're nice and everything but they take this tourism stuff crazy seriously, and they'll never stand for this bullshit. I'll never be able to show my face around Gobbler's Knob again.

Damn! I'm such an idiot! Idiot, idiot, idiot!

Phil? Phil, you need to think of something quick. So relax. Uh, just try and breathe. Okay, what are you supposed to do? Inhale and exhale. In, out. You know what? I just need to calmly make a list of the things I need to do. Then I will do each of the things on the list. As I do each item I will

Oh Jesus, I am so late.

Everyone is gonna kill me. How could I do this? Man, fuck. Okay, okay, what to do. Come on, Phil, think. Maybe if I run down to the mayor's office right now, he can make a couple of phone calls, get the crowds and the tourists and the lady from the Channel 8 News to come back and—aw, who am I kidding? That'll never work!

There's no way out of this. I've just got to call them up, face the music, and see what they say. Now where is my goddamn phone, goddamn it?

Jesus Christ. I'm a groundhog. I don't even have a phone.
