BERLIN (Reuters) – A badger in Germany got so drunk on over-ripe cherries it staggered into the middle of a road and refused to budge, police said on Wednesday.
A motorist called police near the central town of Goslar to report a dead badger on a road -- only for officers to turn up and discover the animal alive and well, but drunk.
Police discovered the nocturnal beast had eaten cherries from a nearby tree which had turned to alcohol and given the badger diarrhoea.
Having failed to scare the animal away, officers eventually chased it from the road with a broom.

I think that this group takes the Prosperity Gospel to yet another level, claiming that the Bible has been misinterpreted to show any preferential option for the poor, and what its really all about is God selecting a few men for supreme leadership, endowing them with blessings no matter how immorally they are acquired, and suggesting in a gentle way that they share those blessings with all the poor shitheads that God really doesn't like, but only if they want to. They are also excused of any wrong doing or immoral activitiy because King David was asuch a righteously fucked up dude and HE was blessed by God to be king of all Israel.

Obesity ‘Stands Out’
“About 75 percent of patients have underlying conditions, and clearly obesity stands out as a statistically significant factor involved in the seriousness of the disease,” said Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases in Bethesda, Maryland. “It was a bit of a surprise to us.”
It’s the first time the prominence of obesity has been widely recognized among severely ill flu sufferers, Fauci said in a July 9 interview. “It’s very likely that if we went back retrospectively and looked at people who did poorly during seasonal flu, what would shake out is that obesity would be one of the risks,” he said.
CDC researchers noted the association among California H1N1 patients in a May 22 report. The agency is investigating whether overweight people need different flu vaccinations. Last year, 26.1 percent of adults in the U.S. were obese, up from 25.6 percent in 2007, the CDC said in a July 8 statement.
Severe Pneumonia
Some patients are showing up at hospitals with viral pneumonia so severe they are suffocating. All 10 of the Michigan patients, ages 21 to 53, suffered acute respiratory distress and weren’t getting enough oxygen even when put on a conventional mechanical ventilator.
The patients, who represent “the most severely ill subset” of H1N1 sufferers, were notable for several reasons, the CDC said. Nine were male, five developed dangerous clots in the lung and major organs became dysfunctional in nine of the patients. The body mass index of nine patients ranged from 34.2 to 58.9, according to the report. People with a BMI of 25 to 29.9 are considered “overweight” and those higher than 30 are “obese.”
“The high prevalence of obesity in this case series is striking,” CDC said.
A 5-foot, 5-inch (1.65 meters) woman is considered overweight at 150 pounds (68 kilograms) and obese at 180 pounds. A 6-foot man is considered overweight at 184 pounds and obese at 221 pounds.
Cause or Complication
Scientists don’t yet know whether extremely overweight people get sicker because of associated conditions like heart disease and asthma, or whether the excess fat itself makes them more vulnerable. Both may be to blame.
Fat cells secrete chemicals that cause chronic, low-level inflammation that can hamper the body’s immune response and narrow the airways, says Tim Armstrong, a doctor working in the WHO’s chronic diseases department in Geneva.
What’s more, excess fatty tissue compresses the chest, and the fatty infiltration of the chest wall causes a decrease in lung function and an increase in the pulmonary blood volume, Armstrong said. “If you are obese, you tend to be less physically active and have an associated shallower breathing pattern. All these compound, leading to breathing difficulties.”

Listened to NPR a lot of the way and heard Dr. Arnold Relman talking about single-payer on Talk of the Nation. Maybe y'all have already discussed it, but he made a great case for a single-payer system (like duh, I know) but I thought it was interesting. Here's the link:
i had a palestinian lab partner in college. when i pointed out to him one day that he was eating pork fried rice, he raised his hand and said "for the purposes of this meal, i declare it to be chicken"
This is, I believe, exactly the right attitude towards one's religion. That's what mine would be, if I had one...

Bill Moyers Show Tonight Reveals Insurance Lobby's Secret Plan to Attack 'Sicko' and Michael Moore
Friday, July 10th, 2009
ALERT: We've just been informed that Bill Moyers, on his show later tonight, will expose for the first time the health insurance industry's secret campaign against Michael Moore and his film, "Sicko." It contains a stunning revelation and admission by a top health insurance executive -- the former head of publicity for CIGNA, one of the top health insurance companies in the country -- that the disinformation and attacks on Michael and the film were extensive and well-planned. Their job was to stop the movie from reaching a wide audience (and, more importantly, from having the widespread political impact the industry feared "Sicko" would have).
Wendell Potter, former Head of Corporate Communications at CIGNA (which provides health insurance to nearly 70 percent of the Fortune 100 companies) admits that, in fact, "Sicko" "hit the nail on the head" and told the real truth about how much better people in other countries have it when it comes to their health care.

The idea that money is a sign of god's approval is particularly repugnant.
That and their ten NEW commandments, eh?
1. Thou shalt worship money and possessions before me.
2. Thou shalt make and perfect all images as often as you feel like it.
3. Thou shalt not take the name of money in vain. (Mean it when you demand some)
4. Remember the Sabbath Day is for doing anything non-church related.
5. Honor thy father and mother by taking all of their possessions and putting them on the dole to the government for the nursing home - which you never visit.
6. Thou shalt kill whomever you feel like whenever you feel like it.
7. Thou shalt commit adultery.
8. Thou shalt steal under the guise of wise investing.
9. Thou shalt not bear witness against your co conspirators in the latest scheme.
10. Thou shalt covet and possess whatever it is that you want your neighbor's.

I was sloppy and picked up a nasty assortment of malware a few days ago that completely crippled my Norton 2009 and evaded several other packages. Decided the safest thing was to wipe the disk. Still reloading software, but as I had a slipstreamed SP3 disk, the windows part was pretty painless.

I was on line at the supermarket today and an older gentleman in front of me seemed short on funds. He picked about 5 items to send back, bread, bananas, orange juice, paper towels and tissue paper. I was debating in my head if I should just pay for his items because I felt bad.
Decided against it because I didn't have much money myself. He started to write a check for the amount purchased but the cashier told him he needed a drivers license for ID. He said "I come in here all the time and they know me here". It didn't matter, he still needed ID. He slowly said "Okay I have it in the car". He came back 10 minutes later and handed the license to the cashier and handed me a piece of paper saying Thanks for your patience, on there is my website and I'm a doctor blah blah blah and this is the place to find GOD. I felt felt guilty for not paying for those items he put back, and I am not even remotely religious.

Dave Cutler's involvement with the NT project was the closest Windows ever came to being intentionally designed, but the architecture *still* doesn't make any fucking sense.

I think Apple's original Mac operating system "borrowed" ideas from Xerox PARC.
Yep. Although in Apple's defense, XEROX didn't have a fucking clue what to do with the operating system or the computer it was built around. In fact, IIRC, they were going to shut the whole unit down.
Hey all you Canadians out there - I heard the Canadian SC ruled against the women ski jumpers who were trying to get their sport in the Olympics up there.
The court, I believe, said that it was wrong there is no women's ski jumping, but that they don't have jurisdiction or something like that.
