coffee? tea? pee?

Bloke pissing in reservoir prompts 8m gallon flush
'Do you want to drink pee?' asks Portland water official

puleeze! you take in more concentrated pee that this every time you go to the public swimming pool!

and why the big kafuffle about human pee? you don't even want to think about how much wild animal pee (and poo, don't forget about the poo!) is in there!

besides, doesn't the water go through some sort of processing plant before it gets to your pipes anyway?

i was on vacation somewhere up north one time and they found a dead deer in the reservoir and all they did was tell people to boil their water. no biggie...

way to overreact, oregon!

get out of my head!!!

someone has a sense of humour...

personally, i'm going with the abraham lincoln

Remember Movember? Well, here comes Julyna

it's exactly what it sounds like.

what exactly does it sound like, you ask?

instead of men sporting ridiculous moustaches in support of cancer research, a group of more-clever-than-thou women have decided to create their own event with beards... clam beards.

"It's unique, it's different, it's cutting edge..." it's not appropriate for a public or professional environment?

while i DO support the cause (getting people talking about cervical cancer and human papillomavirus) and i DO agree with their sentiment that an event needs to be attention-grabbing to successful these days, i don't know if this is the right way to go about it...?

it may seem hypocritical that i am a regualr participant in the Underwear Affair, where people run through the streets in their unmentionables in support of down there cancers, but at least all the naughty bits are covered. i'm no prude and yet the discussion of lady bits and how they are being groomed still makes me uncomfortable.

all that being said, i'm probably silumtaneously proud of and jealous of any woman brave enough to announce her intentions and go ahead with this fundraising campaign. men should be encouraged to participate as well because we all know that a little good grooming would make the world a much, much better place.

good for me for ending on a high note! let's try for higher.

"Stencils for suggested hair designs [...] include the arrow, the Charlie Chaplin, the Barbara Bush, the Movember, the rising sun, the side part and the David Suzuki."

what? no abe?

in technical terms


"The bacteria and the manure will 'produce little farts' of methane that will rise to the top of the digester, where the gas will be captured and burned."

getting back into the swing, swing, swing of things

i thought it only fitting that on this first day of summer, as school children everywhere anxiously await their summer parole, i should make my return!

please, hold back your tears of joy.

although i am beset with other project (work-related and otherwise) i shall endeavour to keep you (and myself) entertained with all manner of random nonsense and hard-hitting political news. well, maybe not that last thing.
