quote:

As Russia's growing economic crisis weighs on farmers, some breeders appear to have found a miraculous solution — a new type of cow that doesn't need to be fed in the winter and can survive periods of not eating at all.

Known as the "Aita" — or "excellent" — the breed, which was developed over 15 years in the southern republic of Kalmykia, can make it through the winter months consuming only the food it finds under the snow, state newspaper Rossiiskaya Gazeta reported Tuesday.

"[King Abdullah] said there is going to be retribution like ISIS hasn't seen... He mentioned Unforgiven and he mentioned Clint Eastwood, and he actually quoted a part of the movie... He's angry... They're starting more sorties tomorrow than they've ever had. They're starting tomorrow... The only problem we're going to have is running out of fuel and bullets.... He's ready to get it on. He really is. It reminded me of how we were after 9/11."

Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?


In a related article on that site: http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/columbia-student-found-not-responsible-of-rape-finally-tells-his-side-of-the-story/article/2559742

Remember that college chick that accused a guy of rape and then carried her mattress around campus each day after the charges against him were dismissed?

quote:

Facebook messages obtained by the Daily Beast contributor Cathy Young show that two days after Sulkowicz was allegedly beaten and choked, she responded to Nungesser’s party invite by writing “lol yussss.” She followed up that message by telling him: “Also I feel like we need to have some real time where we can talk about life and thingz” and “because we still haven’t really had a paul-emma sesh since summmerrrrr.”

A week later, Sulkowicz invited Nungesser, whom she now refers to as her “rapist,” to hang out. And a month after that, she responded to Nungesser’s birthday message to her by saying: “I love you Paul. Where are you?!?!?!?!”

Six months later, Sulkowicz would accuse Nungesser of previously raping her.

Alright then.

/edit
If I were made to read even half of their facebook-messaging transcripts again, I might rape my eyes

speaking of kickstarters, the af should start a 'adopt a bomb' program where you can pay to print messages on bombs. You should also get gps coordinates of where your bomb was dropped, and preferrably after action photos. There might be opsec issues with this, but it'd be worth it imo.

One of my artist buddies from highschool sent me a couple hipster stickers he drew. I sent him back a photo of those stickers on a portashiter and a bomb. He's still the most liberal pussy on earth but even he admitted he got a warboner imagining his doodle of batman being the last thing a muzzie saw.

A surprising number of racist slurs fit neatly in a five letter field. I assume this is because lovely racists have trouble with words having more than two syllables.

For $500, we'll fly anything you can fit in a small flat rate box on a combat mission over ISIS territory, complete with a certificate of authenticity. Penetrate your lover with a rubber fist that is a genuine war souvenir!

That's not really very goony because I'm pretty sure everyone on the Internet plays World of Tanks.

If I was king of a Muslim nation I would be spending roughly 1% of GDP on construction for my harem so I admire and am a little awed by the man's restraint at only having a single wife. Then again with the relative lack of interest in adult women, combined with his visible appreciation for Star Trek, maybe we should be concerned.

Sell them MORE guns and ammo. Artillery, old lovely Sherman tanks, LAW rockets, towed 105mm guns, crappy rear end Bell Huey helicopters, all that poo poo.

Let them go all WW-I on each other.

nuke them till the continental plate cracks, then make the ones who lived and glow in the dark scoop the oil out of the ground with buckets at night.

Now despite not believing that anybody is born with any sort of divine right, I don't really have a problem with monarchies. The British royals are fine for the most part, the Scandinavian royals seem cool, Abdullah II is definitely cool. In modern times where a monarch is usually just a figurehead (In Europe anyway) it seems like they provide a continuity of the more positive elements of a government despite other positions changing hands. Frederick Forsyth generated a bit of controversy years ago by suggesting that Russia would be less of a shithole if they had a king again, he might have been on to something.

In democracy, some inbred with an inflated sense of self-importance gets elected by a bunch of idiots. In monarchy, some inbred with an inflated sense of self-importance gets enthroned by a blind genetic lottery.
