They don't teach the Heimlich maneuver anymore?

Opiate of the Mexes?

Hardass Mexicans. Tough shit, buddy.

Opiate of the generous. AKA, eppur mi muovo.

Fungi from Planet Pepe

The sex organs in the induced hermaphroditic flowers become sterile as a result of infection, a process known as "parasitic castration". Ovaries become sterile because they become replaced with teliospores and form "smut balls", making the ovary unable to set seed. The anthers, however, do not show outward signs of teliospore production, but are still effectively sterile because they tend to be small and immature. Consequently, both male and female reproductive organs within induced hermaphroditic flowers of buffalograss become parasitically castrated.

Just in case LePew was starting to worry his fave Aristo was showing a common touch.

An Alitalia moment on Virgin

Passenger goes Mr. Tec apeshit: “…It’s mustard Richard. MUSTARD. More mustard than any man could consume in a month. On the left we have a piece of broccoli and some peppers in a brown glue-like oil and on the right the chef had prepared some mashed potato. The potato masher had obviously broken and so it was decided the next best thing would be to pass the potatoes through the digestive tract of a bird."

God's Mighty 'Tater Chip: The Universal Pringle

"Juan Maldacena at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, has confirmed that the idea is on the right track. He showed that the physics inside a hypothetical universe with five dimensions and shaped like a Pringle is the same as the physics taking place on the four-dimensional boundary."

Gee, Eliot was a prophetic genius, what with that "we are the holo men" riff. He really should get an Ignoble before The Big Crunch. Another Handful
Or, just maybe, the theoretical physicists have gone madder than the hatters of Planet Pepe's Mount Laudanum.

French heavy legs

I am not suggesting that the French are a nation of hypochondriacs but they do take their health very seriously. France is the biggest consumer of antibiotics in Europe. ... The French consume more than a third of the entire world's supply of heavy legs medicines. What to make of it?

Darwinian head-hacking

Now, if people also stopped jabbering on their brain fryers...

... I'd say there is a silver lining in all this, after all.

French malaise

Sounds like a fitting epitaph for a Versaillist: "[he] has been using up a lot of energy developing its genitalia and using a lot less to defend itself."

IT'S BUSH'S FAULT!!!!!

Impeach! Impeach!! Impeach!!!

AlGore's Water Loo

A Harvard professor of environmental studies who has advised Mr. Gore, Michael McElroy, warned in a November-December 2006 article in Harvard Magazine that “the production of ethanol from either corn or sugar cane presents a new dilemma: whether the feedstock should be devoted to food or fuel. With increasing use of corn and sugar cane for fuel, a rise in related food prices would seem inevitable.” The article, “The Ethanol Illusion” went so far as to praise Senator McCain for summing up the corn-ethanol energy initiative launched in the United States in 2003 as “highway robbery perpetrated on the American public by Congress.”

As I said before, God meant food to be eaten, not burned as fuel. The Greeks had a word for this: hubris.
