I’ve got to get outta here III


State Senator Andrew Lanza last week introduced S5941, which would make it a class E felony to sell or rent to minors any game including “depictions of depraved violence and indecent images.”

The bill defines depraved violence as “any photographic, photorealistic, or other similar visual representation of the rape, dismemberment, physical torture, mutilation, or evisceration of a human body.” Indecent images would be any such visual representation “of a person or a portion of the human body which depicts nudity, sexual conduct, or sadomasochistic abuse and which is harmful to minors.”

Are you F’ing kidding me!? A FELONY? I know that in just 5 more years this won’t matter anymore but, damn, a felony? I know it’s already lost all meaning, but seriously…

my day is made….

A California company on Thursday recalled thousands of pounds of frozen fish from China after two people in Chicago became ill from eating what may have been toxic pufferfish, officials said.

The fish was labeled monkfish, but federal officials found life-threatening levels of tetrodotoxin in the fish. The toxin is typically associated with pufferfish.

Reason #32769 why I don’t buy food products that are from China.

The pufferfish poison “is really one of the most toxic things that you can find in food,” said Caroline Smith DeWaal, food safety director for the Center for Science in the Public Interest. “It really illustrates the weakness in the U.S. program for overseeing imports.”

Factoid: Blue Moon


Thursday, May 31 brings us the second of two full Moons for North Americans this month. Some almanacs and calendars assert that when two full Moons occur within a calendar month, that the second full Moon is called the “Blue Moon.”

OTTAWA (Reuters) - A Canadian hitchhiker, who stole an elderly man’s car after he offered her a ride, died a few minutes later when she lost control of the vehicle and crashed into trees, police said.

The crash happened near the town of Hawkesbury — about 100 km (60 miles) northeast of Ottawa — after the man stopped to pick up 20-year-old Mandy Deschambeault.

“The male driver proceeded to step out of his vehicle momentarily at which point the female jumped in the driver seat, stealing the male person’s car,” local police said in a statement Monday.

“She proceeded to lose control of the … car, crossing the other lane hitting trees. The female was ejected from the vehicle and found to be without vital signs.”

Deschambeault was pronounced dead in hospital.

A New Brunswick woman is wondering how she made it through Saint John Airport security and all the way to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont., with a live cat in her suitcase.

Mary Martell discovered Ginger, the family pet, in her luggage after a two-hour plane ride to Toronto and an hour’s drive to Niagara-on-the-Lake. The cat apparently snuck into a bag while Martell was packing.

Martell said her bag was scanned at the airport, but she was not stopped.
