The podcast What a Time to Be Alive (basically this thread in audio form) covered this like a year ago because a team of scientists researching the most ethical ways to cull the population apparently decided that the most humane way to kill an iguana was to grab it by the tail and whip it headfirst against a hard object.

The fact that Celtic Frost covered an obscure new wave song from the 80s is the funniest part of all this

The song was only four years old at the time and was a single, albeit not super successful. But not obscure either.

Have you seen what we do to wild pigs? There will be canned hunts for iguana soon enough. Fun for the whole family! "FORE!", like our bogan cousins.

Kinda amazed that given Americas obsession with guns and floridas notoriously lax gun laws that the humane solution wasn't "execute it with a smaller caliber pistol round to the face at close range, aiming down"

But seriously, how do you accidentally recycle a skeleton? It's not like a dump where you could be throwing boxes away without always checking inside, you're supposed to be sorting your recyclables, dammit.

Maybe they thought it was actually a plastic skeleton?

The Vladimir Illich Lenin Nuclear Power Plant themed restaurant:

Located in pastoral Chernobyl, Ukraine the restaurant was built for high class dining as well as biodiesel production.
Our highly trained staff is well known for their refinde taste and appreciation of alcoholic beverages and will be attentive to your every need.
Please avoid using the female restroom facilities as they are currently being rebuilt to specification and are still contain hazardous amounts of toxic dust.
Note: as the regular kitchen staff is currently unavailable all meals are prepared by a man we found loitering around the trash cans, he seems to know about cooking.
Please leave a good comment on Yelp! if you know what is good for you.

Durian smells like the dead end of a seldom-cleaned but often-pissed-in back alley.

quote:

Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital, based in Buckinghamshire, shared images of the bird to Facebook last week, writing that he was rescued by folks who spotted him on the side of the road.

Despite the hospital’s uncertainty about exactly how Curry Bird landed in this dilemma, this isn’t the first or even second time a gull has wound up bathed in orange. Multiple reports surfaced in 2016 about similar bird rescues. The first, in June, involved a bird rescued by the UK-based Vale Wildlife Hospital after the gull fell into a vat of chicken tikka masala while attempting to snatch a piece of chicken. In a separate incident that occurred just two months later, the same hospital treated yet another gull that had fallen into a vat of tandoori sauce.
