The NSA is reporting several disturbing new trends among terrorist groups. Including cheese bombs. I doubt we could ever successfully outlaw blocks of cheese, it would just get smuggled from Mexico in burritos and refined back in to blocks here.

The seizures at airports in San Diego, Milwaukee, Houston and Baltimore included “wires, switches, pipes or tubes, cell phone components and dense clay-like substances,” including block cheese, the bulletin said. “The unusual nature and increase in number of these improvised items raise concern.”

You’d think God would have jurisdiction over his own country, but that’s not the case anymore. The Forest Service has stepped in and is making it difficult for a local Bigfoot-tracking team to do their work since they don’t have the proper permits. Please contact your closest Forest Service office and let them know this important work must continue in order for our own species to survive.

The Japanese should be commended for their handling of the recent earthquake-spawned nuclear disaster in Kashiwazaki. Much like previous Japanese Nuclear disasters, like when we bombed them with two atomic weapons, they have given a metaphorical karate chop to the radioactive material and continued to work hard to make their society a better place.

Other countries could be well served by this work ethic. Chernobyl, for example, has yet to rebuild and it’s been 20 years.

Honestly, it makes me embarrassed to have this weak Russian blood flowing through my veins. I know there’s a period of time where the radioactivity is still dangerous, but really, it’s been 20 years…let’s get to work!

Fellow Jedi Knights,

By kicking me out, you shall make me more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

Keep that in mind before you vote.

May the force be with you,

14 bodies have been recovered in the Philippines, some of them decapitated, after a deadly attack by Marines on a MILF stronghold, searching for a kidnapped Italian priest.

But Mohagher Iqbal, chief negotiator for the Muslim separatist Moro Islamic Liberation Front, which is engaged in peace talks with the government, said his forces fought back after marines attacked a MILF stronghold.

He denied his forces were responsible for the beheadings, saying he would investigate. Four MILF members were killed in the fighting while seven others were wounded, he added.

On the latest episode of the Discovery Channel’s hit series, Man vs. Wild, Bear Grylls shows us that when you run out of water in a survival situation it’s good to drink your own urine to rehydrate yourself. What he didn’t explain was that as the body becomes dehydrated the condensed urine concoction can be detrimental to your health, and in many cases it’s better to withstand the ill effects of dehydration rather to consume your own waste water. My solution to this: drink the fresh urine of those in your survival party who are well hydrated and feel that drinking urine is disgusting. Use the later to your advantage—you can directly influence others into thinking their urine IS disgusting. It’s important to remember that when you realize you’re in a survival situation you need to start telling those you’re with things like, “I’d rather die than drink pee…wouldn’t you agree?” and “Drinking your own pee is sort of gay…wouldn’t you agree?” As soon as they pee you need to find a way to discretely collect it. Tell them you’re practicing Leave No Trace guidelines and offer to “throw out” their pee for them. You could suggest they pee in your cup so you can pack the urine out. Alternately, you could tell your friends that bears will often follow the scent of urine and eat those who match the smell…again, suggest packing out the waste in your cup.

I’ve been using this kit, but it costs about $50 and I go through about one a month, which I’m willing to continue if I have to, but would like alternatives if they are available.

In what I view as an act of passive aggression towards the United States, China has placed heavy limitations on organ transplants for non-Chinese patients.

Read here:

BEIJING - China issued guidelines Tuesday restricting organ transplants for foreigners, giving priority to Chinese patients in the government’s latest effort to regulate procedures that have been criticized as profit-driven and unethical.

Little information about China’s lucrative transplant business is publicly available. One human rights activist said there is fierce competition among hospitals to attract the foreigners, who make up an estimated 30 to 40 percent of transplant patients in China.
