I Mean... REALLY.

A few weeks ago, I read something that gave stopped me in my tracks. There was an article about the deputy mayor of New Delhi, being attacked and killed by a bunch of monkeys. You can find the link here and I encourage you to read it, before you go on... I'll wait.

So anyway, when I first read this article, I was done. Game over. I basically soiled myself laughing for 8 hours straight and I don't just mean a mild har har or guffaw. It was the full-on gasping for air, kind of laughing that lowers productivity to zero. Believe me when I say that I felt awful, as a human being died, but the circumstances under which he met his demise... I couldn't help myself. The man was attacked by a cabal of evil monkeys. Think about that for a sec. I mean really. It seems that even death with dignity is too much to ask for.

Anyway, thanks for reading the latest chapter in the series 'I Would Burn In Hell, If I Believed in it's Existence' ™. That said, my punishment for such crassness, was to have my bike stolen that same day. Seeing as I had spent an entire day laughing about someones death, I didn't even bat an eye or break stride, when I saw that it was gone.

On to some links and they're both quite good. The first one is about the exciting developments surrounding hydrogen-producing microbes. Throw a bunch of cellulose-based material (leaves, grass, corn husks) in your pot, some miracle microbes and a small jolt of electricity and you're left with sweet sweet hydrogen. This will essentially make the ethanol industry redundant, as hydrogen burning vehicles produce only water vapour as a bi-product. The best part is that you get way more out, than you put in, which is the main knock against electrolysis and other methods. Additionally, ethanol production has artificially raised prices for corn and corn-based products, since many farmers are no longer producing the crop for human consumption.

The second link is about the Flying Spaghetti Monster and His Noodly Appendage and it's actually a serious story. I'll leave it at that.
