Sperm Whale, RIP

Annals of Oceanography–What The Hell Is This?!:

It was 40 feet long. It weighed 13 tons. And it washed up on a beach in Chile last July. And no one could figure out just what it was. For a while the scientific community got all excited because it was thought The Blob might be the remains of the intriguing, elusive and rarely seen Giant Squid. Or perhaps the world’s largest piece of bubble gum. But Skip Pierce, a biologist at the University of San Francisco, used electron microscopy to determine that The Blob is in fact the putrid, rotting, remains of a….sperm whale. Oh well. The hunt for the Giant, or Colossal, Squid continues…
Damn, it’s just a massive whale loogey…..

Israeli pilots deliberately ignoring orders to hit civilian targets

Lebanese flag, as redrawn lately 

Israeli pilots ‘deliberately miss’ targets. From the Observer.

Fliers admit aborting raids on civilian targets as concern grows over the reliability of intelligence

At least two Israeli fighter pilots have deliberately missed civilian targets in Lebanon as disquiet grows in the military about flawed intelligence, The Observer has learnt. Sources say the pilots were worried that targets had been wrongly identified as Hizbollah facilities.
…
As international outrage over civilian deaths grows, the spotlight is increasingly turning on Israeli air operations. The Observer has learnt that one senior commander who has been involved in the air attacks in Lebanon has already raised concerns that some of the air force’s actions might be considered ‘war crimes’.

The tide is definitely turning. The BoJo flamewar is over, a ceasefire is on the table, France is ready to send in peacekeepers, and even Harper admits that Israel may have been a bit “extra-vigorous”.

Canada vs Coulter, age 45

Canada wins, with a smackdown. And don’t give me none o’ that “but there were Canadians there as observers, there were Canadians who left to join the US Army” shit. Yes indeed, but (once more, loudly, for the people drooling in the back row):

CANADA DID NOT SEND TROOPS TO VIETNAM

as Ann Coulter, 45, learns to her dismay, confusion and, of course, ongoing refusal to face facts.

from, of all places, Perez Hilton, who has always been good to Canuckistan.

this is what they were talking about when they invented the word “groovy“

forget the metal detector: where’s the intelligence detector

Although I think in this case it might be superfluous. No point dragging the thing out when you already know it’s gonna register a big goose egg.

X-Ray vision, Laser Intelligence (pick one)

Guess how drunk this guy was…

Dankovic told mates that sword swallowing was easy and anyone could do it – they challenged him to prove it.

But he had to be rushed to the local hospital after swallowing a knife with an eight inch blade, eight nails, two spoons and a couple of clothes pegs to win the ten pound bet.

Ten pounds? What was that, win-all-you-can-eat? The scrap metal market has become entirely too competitive for my liking.

“My girlfriend has told me she hopes they got everything out, we are planning to fly on holiday next month and she doesn’t want me getting stopped by the airport metal detector.”

Isn’t that sweet? He’s found someone who will stand by him in times of trouble. Someone stupid enough to stand by him in times of completely devastating, meaningless trouble he brought upon himself in a drunken stupor.

Any chance the doctors performed a quick Malthusian snip while he was out? For the sake of the Serbian gene pool, let us hope so.
