Only 15% of That Burger is Actually Meat
"Water content by weight ranged from 37.7% to 62.4% (mean, 49%). Meat content in the hamburgers ranged from 2.1% to 14.8% (median, 12.1%). The cost per gram of hamburger ranged from $0.02 to $0.16 (median, $0.03) and did not correlate with meat content. Electron microscopy showed relatively preserved skeletal muscle."

Go in for Kidney Stone, All Limbs Amputated
"When the sharp pain shooting through Lisa Strong's back got worse, she thought it was another kidney stone and expected the discomfort to pass. This time was different. Through a series of mistakes, miscommunications and misdiagnoses, she wound up having her arms and legs amputated. She sued the doctors, who essentially blamed one another for what everyone involved agrees were profound errors. Everyone except the jury that ruled against Strong." http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30999530/

50 Years for Ocean's Fish Supply
"There will be virtually nothing left to fish from the seas by the middle of the century if current trends continue, according to a major scientific study. Stocks have collapsed in nearly one-third of sea fisheries, and the rate of decline is accelerating."

You Don't Want to Know About Cockbibs
A cockbib is exactly what it sounds like. A 'bib' to assist in clean-up after a trip 'downtown'. But where a lobster bib is really for the diner more than the lobster, the cockbib is much more geared towards the knob and not the knobster. A clean-freak invented the cockbib so men won't have to do anything advanced like have a wet wash cloth nearby or get up and maybe take a shower after a deed has been done. I think everyone would agree that given how amazing sex of all kinds and configuration feels, the post-afterglow feeling of 'I need a rinse' is universal. Luckily the cockbib is here to help. The Jeze-gals took the Cockbibs Coalition to task to hilarious effect.

Emotionally Abusing Dogs for Fun and Profit
8 puppies are brought to the house of a sociopathic middle class family. They eliminate one dog a week until they have their favorite. The 'loser' dogs are given to other families.

Ouija for Girls
"Besides the fact that the whole thing seems to have been dipped in Pepto Bismol and that it includes its own super sleek carrying case, Ouija For Girls comes with suggested questions. Why? Well, apparently girls can't be trusted to ask the right questions of the demons and spirits surrounding them at all times." [link]

Mississippi Justice: Steal $10, Double Life Sentence, Lose Your Kids
From the blog, Living Life Abundantly - this completely stupid, cruel sentence handed out for stealing ten dollars. By this measure Bernie Madoff should be fired into the sun.

Patents on Cancer Genes Hinder Testing, Treatment
I know I'm a commie because I don't think any part of the human genome should be patented. Further I don't think any naturally occurring plants or animals should be patented.
Thanks ACLU:
===
"Knowledge about our own bodies and the ability to make decisions about our health care are some of our most personal and fundamental rights," said ACLU Executive Director Anthony D. Romero. "The government should not be granting private entities control over something as personal and basic to who we are as our genes."
The lawsuit also challenges genetic patenting in general, noting that about 20 percent of all human genes are patented -- including genes associated with Alzheimer's disease, muscular dystrophy and asthma.
"It is absolutely our intent that upon victory this will rend invalid patents on many other genes," said Dan Ravicher, executive director of the Public Patent Foundation and a patent law professor at Yeshiva University's Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law. "We just had to pick one case as our case."

Husband Sees Wife Having an Affair, in Porn Flick
"A TAIWAN carpenter bought a porn DVD only to find secretly taped motel footage of his wife having sex with his friend, whom the husband later stabbed. The husband, identified only by his surname Lee, discovered the illicit sex on the DVD in 2002. The sexual acts apparently had been recorded using a hidden camera and were on a pornographic DVD, titled Affairs with Others' Wives, which the husband bought from a vendor to watch at home."
