Stupid Is As Stupid Does:

Groups to pray for lower prices at gas stations:

ST. LOUIS - Two prayer services will be held at St. Louis gas stations to thank God for lower fuel prices and to ask that they continue to drop. Darrell Alexander, Midwest co-chair of the Pray at the Pump movement, says prayer gatherings will be held Monday afternoon and evening at a Mobil station west of downtown St. Louis.

Participants say they plan to buy gas, pray and then sing "We Shall Overcome" with a new verse, "We'll have lower gas prices."

An activist from the Washington D.C. area, Rocky Twyman, started the effort, saying if politicians couldn't lower gas prices, it was time to ask God to intervene.

The group thinks the prayer is helping, saying prices are starting to fall below $4 a gallon.

HOLY RETARDED RELIGIOUS ZEALOTS, BATMAN!
Perhaps while these simpletons are praying, they might want to consider asking for an evolved gray matter.
I LOATHE the uneducated "I-won't-solve-anything-myself-I'll-just-fucking-pray-for-it" mentality.
...just sayin'.

Pink Floyd Guitar:

SkullznEyez Loves Pink Floyd

Want to make your band sound like Pink Floyd? Well, maybe you'll need to do a spot of practice - and perhaps buy David Gilmour’s classic 1970 Black Strat Fender Stratocaster.

This ‘Signature Model’ is being issued by Fender on 22 September 2008, created by Fender and Gilmour and based on the one Gilmour bought in 1970 and used on albums including ‘The Dark Side of the Moon’, ‘Wish You Were Here’ and ‘The Wall’.

The ‘Black Strat’, which features the same maple neck, black pickguard, shortened tremolo arm and custom electronics as the original, will come with a custom black case with a centre pocket, plush green lining and ‘Fender Custom Shop David Gilmour Model’ embroidery, not to mention a book about the guitar, authentic strings, the same cable Gilmour uses, a deluxe Fender guitar strap and a ‘David Gilmour’ guitar plectrum. No price given - but don't expect it to be cheap.

Pierced Goldfish:

SkullznEyez Think Piercing Goldfish Is Awesome!

Piercing a pet fish sounds sick, right? Many would even consider it to be animal abuse. However, humans have a long history of modifying animals with everything from identification tattoos and brands to cosmetic surgery such as ear cropping, tail docking and toe amputation (or ‘declawing’).

We pierce the ears of cattle to hold fly control and ID tags, and we implant pets with tracking chips. Even anglers give returned fish permanent lip piercings, and that’s without even mentioning the mass imprisonment and killing of animals in the food industry.

Many animal lovers decry the animal body mods shown here as barbaric but, short of turning vegan, when it comes to animal abuse, most of us are involved in far worse treatment being forced on animals than simple piercings.

Still, is piercing a fish acceptable? I spoke to William from Arizona after he sent me pictures of his fish with a labret (a piercing below the bottom lip, just above the chin). The professional piercer said it started as a joke, but “as it looked cool and never affected the goldfish adversely” he left it in. He claims it isn’t immoral and the fish didn’t suffer.

“Goldfish have a 30-second memory. And how many live fish are there out there with hooks stuck in them? At least this one had jewellery!” says William. “The fish seemed unaffected. He ate normally, and the piercing didn’t weigh him down or affect his ballast.”

William used a 5mm labret with a light acrylic end and did the piercing freehand while his apprentice held the fish, which was taken out of the water, then put back straight after. Although the fish is now dead (not because of the piercing – he died when William moved and the tank’s temperature increased), customers loved it. “A few hippies gave me flack,” says William, “but once the lure argument was brought up, they agreed it wasn’t any worse.”

And William has no regrets. In fact, he says he’d pierce a fish again. “As long as it was a fish of substantial size,” he adds. “I’ve been asked to pierce Siamese Fighting Fish, but there’s no way. If I did, though, I’d only charge for the jewelery, not the service.”

Draw your own conclusions. But let me strongly emphasize that I’m not advocating piercing animals. While William’s procedure appears to have been a success, attempting the same procedure on cats, dogs and other animals is likely to end in them gnawing or scratching out the piercing and injuring themselves in the process. If you care about your animals, please consider how a piercing will affect them. If your dog really wanted a piercing, he’d find a way to ask you for one.

Stripper Arrested For Subway Pole Dances:

By Pav Jordan
SANTIAGO - A stripper who danced on the poles of Santiago subway trains to challenge the prudishness of Chilean society was arrested on Thursday during one of her lightning performances.

Monserrat Morilles, 26, surprised subway riders all week stripping to skimpy underwear, but she refused tips.

She said she was protesting a lack of tolerance in Chile, one of Latin America's most conservative societies where the first generation since the Pinochet dictatorship is reaching adulthood.

"This is just a beginning. We are starting an idea here that will grow and be developed further," she told Reuters as police and subway guards surrounded her.

The professional pole dancer worked quickly all week to avoid arrest, getting on at one station, finding a subway car with no children on it and stripping in time to exit at the next station.

Chilean media dubbed her "La Diosa del Metro" or Subway Goddess. She called her performances "happy minutes."

"Chile is still a pretty timid country," said her manager Gustavo Pradenas. "People aren't very extroverted and we want to take aim at that and make Chile a happier country."

Lewis The Cat Is Free!

SkullznEyez Loves Lewis The Cat
FAIRFIELD, Conn. - A combative cat named Lewis who frightened the neighbors and got his owner into legal trouble two years ago has done so well under house arrest that the case has now been scratched.

A judge dismissed a reckless endangerment charge against Lewis's owner, Ruth Cisero, on Thursday, concluding she had met terms of a special probation for first-time offenders. Lewis is now an indoor pet, allowed outside only in a cat carrier.

"Unlike most of us, Lewis has learned to live with his limitations," said Eugene Riccio, Cisero's attorney.

The scratch-happy black-and-white cat drew widespread attention in 2006 when Cisero opted for a trial on the criminal charge rather than euthanize or declaw him. It became a national claws celeb, and some pet lovers even sported "Save Lewis" shirts.

A lot has changed in two years, though.

Neighbor Maureen Bachtig, whose February 2006 encounter with a nasty Lewis led to the criminal case, said Thursday she was satisfied with the outcome.

"She gets to keep her cat and the neighborhood is safe," Bachtig said.

Cisero's probation included community service as well as the restraining order to keep Lewis inside. Had he gotten out, she could have faced up to six months in prison and Lewis could have been euthanized.
