So many people...have their problems
Im not interested...in their problems
I guess ive...experienced some problems
But now ive...made some decisions
Takes a lot of time to push away the nonsense
Take my compassion...push it as far as it goes
My interest levels dropping, my interest level is dropping
Ive heard all I want to, I dont want to hear any more

What are you, in love with your problems?
I think you take it...a little too far
Its...not so cool to have so many problems
But dont expect me to explain your indecisions
Go...talk to your analyst, isnt that what theyre paid for
You walk, you talk...you still function like you used to
Its not a question...of your personality or style
Be a little more selfish, it might do you some good

150 years ago: abolition of slavery
100 years ago: emancipation of women
50 years ago: interracial marriage and intergration
Today: same-sex relationships

Why is it that the church always has to be dragged kicking and screaming (by secular outrage) towards the tolerance and compassion that, ironically, it claims to hold a monopoly on?

Goddamn, well I declare, have you seen the like?
Their wall are built of cannonballs, their motto is don't tread on me.
Come hear uncle john's band playing to the tide,
Come with me, or go alone, hes come to take his children home.

So now we fly ever free we're free before the thunderstorm on towards the wilderness our quest carries on far beyond the sundown, far beyond the moonlight deep inside our hearts and all our souls

""To illustrate this point, one need only look at the biggest gainer in this religious competition -- the unaffiliated group. People moving into the unaffiliated category outnumber those moving out of the unaffiliated group by more than a three-to-one margin. At the same time, however, a substantial number of people (nearly 4% of the overall adult population) say that as children they were unaffiliated with any particular religion but have since come to identify with a religious group. This means that more than half of people who were unaffiliated with any particular religion as a child now say that they are associated with a religious group. In short, the Landscape Survey shows that the unaffiliated population has grown despite having one of the lowest retention rates of all "religious" groups."

Humans are now one large step closer to producing armies of undead, zombie hordes who live only to feast on the brains of the living and reproduce by infecting non-zombies with their "zombie virus" through their saliva or other bodily fluids. This is thanks to the work of a team of scientists at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Israel, who have documented a kind of wasp that zombifies cockroaches.


Ampulex compressa enjoys licking pieces of wood, long walks on the beach and necromancy.

The Ampulex compressa actually stings a roach twice, once to disable it, and again (this time directly into the brain) with a cocktail of neuro toxins to create a willing slave. The wasp then grabs the cockroach's antenna and walks it "like a dog on a leash", according to Frederic Libersat in this article, back to its evil lair. There, the wasp lays an egg on the belly of the cockroach. When the egg hatches, the adorable larvae then eats the cockroach alive. Once it's done feasting, it weaves a cocoon inside the cockroach, waits a little while, then BOOM bursts out of the cocoon and the cockroach as a beautiful zombie-producing wasp of its own. Who said the story about the ugly duckling was just a fable?

The team from Ben-Gurion claims to be able to replicate the effect on a cockroach on their own, AND release the cockroach from the zombie spell using an antidote. Their work has immediate implications for understanding how chemicals influence creatures' behaviors. The family of Katie Holmes has also expressed interest in securing some of the team's antidote.

We set sail at half past four
Looking for a new tomorrow
Don't know when we're coming home
So we drink and we dance and we drown our sorrow

We don't know what there lies in store
But it's better than this, that's why I'm willing
To stake my claim on a foreign shore
With me spoons and me fiddle and half a shilling

They've dreamt a place and I know it's true
Where the dolphins play and it's always sunny
They dance around in the old true blue
That's what you do but you make more money

I must be off by morning's light,
I can hear our bosun's whistle blowin
One more kiss and one more fight
And one more song while the beer is flowing

When the sky is grey look out to sea
When the waves are high and the light is dying
Well raise a glass and think of me
When I'm home again boys I'll be buying

Even the rats know that trouble's gonna come
To the edge of the city, see the little guys run
I hear Spring's nice in Canada

Maybe the men up on Capitol Hill
need a little less Jack and a little more Jill
You can have my stereo

Even though the race may never be won
I can lay like a dandy, get heavy in the sun
take a love song and beautify

I hear the words but the meaning gets lost
Its a game, it depends on who the ball gets tossed
Its the same ball anyway

You're tuggin' me now, cut me lose or take me on
You can pray, you can play the piper all night long
That's some good home cooking

Even though the race may never be won
I can lay like a dandy, get heavy in the sun
take a love song and beautify
A polka party for Bob and Martha
