Sunday Related Post: Post Mortem Photography:

"Postmortem photographs like this were taken more than any other kind of photograph in the Victorian era — especially in the U.S."
"These photographs were a common aspect of American culture, a part of the mourning and memorialization process. Surviving families were proud of these images and hung them in their homes, sent copies to friends and relatives, wore them as lockets or carried them as pocket mirrors. Nineteenth-century Americans knew how to respond to these images. Today there is no culturally normative response to postmortem photographs."

Sunday Related Post: The Living Dead: The Radium Women

Back around 1919, women were hired to paint glow in the dark pain on watches and other devices where glow in the dark paint would be useful. It turns out the paint had radium in it, a highly radioactive substance. Apparently the women were "pointing" their brushes with their lips, and eating some of the paint. A year or so later, they all developed horrible illness and started dying. On top of that, they were experimented on in medical studies without proper consent until 1990.

Brutal.
"Artificial Leech (1800s)
Bloodletting with leeches was such a popular treatment for a range of medical conditions that an artificial leech was invented in 1840 and was used frequently in eye and ear surgery. The rotating blades would cut a wound in the patient's skin, while the cylinder would be used to produce a vacuum that sucked up the blood."

A whole lotta rapin going on in South Africa. Apparently morons there are using it to teach lesbians not to be lesbians. I think a mass castration is in order. It's the only way these "Men" will learn.

We are all gonna die!!!
(Thanks to Keith for sending this to me)
"Jane Burgermeister has recently filed criminal charges with the FBI against the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations (UN), and several of the highest ranking government and corporate officials concerning bioterrorism and attempts to commit mass murder."
She alleges that these fancy pants officials, are planning an attack mainly on the US by first releasing a virus (the swine flu - it's been released) and then forcing the US citizens to take a vaccine for it, that will kill many US citizens. If I survive, all of my traffic problems will be solved! I probably won't though, and neither will you. Good times...

Or: "I must have taken a wrong turn in Albuquerque..."

"ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Wednesday the District Attorney's office said they have several charges they are pursuing against a teen accused of attacking a corpse over the weekend -- but harming the corpse is not one of them.

Police allege 17-year-old Dominic Goodmoney broke into a funeral home, removed a female body from refrigeration and used a blunt object to hit the corpse's head and face several times."

Sunday Related Post: Sheldon's Wife: Verbally Assaulted in Austin

(The entire following is Sheldon's opinion:)
Sheldon and Nena went to a restaurant in The South Park Meadows shopping center on Saturday. Since a thunderstorm had just blown through, it was about 70 degrees outside, and overcast. Their dog LOVES to go for rides. He LOVES the cushy seats, and of course, he LOVES to be close to Nena at all times. It was either he sit outside on the porch all afraid from the thunder, or have fun going with them in the car.

Since it was still raining a bit, Nena left the windows up. Again, it was cool outside, and overcast. A few minutes after sitting down at the restaurant, a lady walked in asking if someone had a car with a dog in it and left. Nena went out to check if it was her dog, and it was. Apparently an obnoxious lady got a bee up her bum about the dog being locked in the car without the windows down, and as Nena walked up to her car, the lady assaulted Nena with a barrage of insults which mainly consisted of accusing Nena of being inhumane, and threatening to call the police if she didn't open the windows. Nena in shock opened the windows, and resisted the urge to smack the crap out of the lady, who seemed to be working at the Payless Shoes store nearby.

Meanwhile the dog sat happily in the car, oblivious to the aggression outside at his expense. He's cool like that.

Nena did some research, and apparently PETA advises against ever taking a pet in a car, and if in the car, then it must be properly ventilated. So, sorry puppy, no more fun trips in the car or truck if you have to spend any time in it. We wouldn't want some deranged FAT A--HOLE SMELLY PIRATE HOOKER SO FULL OF HER OWN SELF IMPORTANCE THAT SHE CAN'T STOP SNIFFING HER OWN FLATULENCE THAT OBSTRUCTS ANY KIND OF LOGICAL THINKING THAT SHE VERBALLY BULLIES SOMEONE about a dog locked in a car on a cool overcast rainy day.

Perspective folks. Try to keep a little perspective about things, and choose your battles wisely. Like for instance, if you are such a hard core animal rights person that you risk the wrath of Sheldon, maybe you should NOT be giving a shopping center your business that also includes Petland, a petstore well documented as a major buyer form Puppy mills, a place where pets are over bred in horrible and diseased conditions.

I can only hope Jabba the bleach blonde Hut was on her way to a protest of Petland. In that case all is forgiven, and as it turns out she was correct, it's not good to leave your pets in a car without some ventilation, she just went about explaining that the wrong way.

Back to perspective and battles, here is the Sunday part of the Post:

You wanna talk about inhumane? You wanna throw a fit about inhumane? Lady, go buy yourself a plane ticket, cause these people need your fecal breathed rant more than Nena does:
"A black colobus monkey has its fur singed in preparation for sale at an illegal bush-meat market in Gabon."
""They singe the fur off, then sell the animals naked but intact," U.K. photographer David Maitland explained."
The monkey staring at you below is very much alive, and would like nothing more than to be sitting in a car in 70 degree, rainy, overcast weather with the windows rolled all the way to the Mother F-ing hell up. Way, way up.

Sunday Related Post: PCP Parenting

Warning: This particular Sunday Post is BRUTAL.
Seriously. Isn't it great that just any ol'jerk can poop out a baby? Thank goodness there is very little oversight over child care in the world. How else can people properly teach their children to hate the things they hate? Or this:
"BAKERSFIELD, Calif. – A 4-year-old California boy may be permanently blinded after police say his father bit out one of his eyes and mutilated the other.

Bakersfield police say 34-year-old Angel Vidal Mendoza appeared to be under the influence of PCP when he attacked the boy April 28. Afterwards police say Mendoza rolled his wheelchair outside and began hacking at his own legs with an ax.

Four-year-old Angelo Mendoza Jr. told police, "my daddy ate my eyes.""

One of the things that State Farm insurance won't help you with...
"It's been a total nightmare," says Sylvia Pena, Modesto resident.
What happened to Sylvia was very real.
"I was sleeping on the couch... I was awakened by some drops that hit my face...
I thought I was drooling," explains Sylvia.
It wasn't drool or water dripping from her ceiling.
What happened to Sylvia inside her apartment could be a hollywood horror scene."

Sunday Related Post: Dead Babies:

Anybody remember all the tasteless dead baby jokes from the 80's? They were funny until it happened to someone you knew. Then it wasn't funny at all.
Looking at the World Infant Mortality rate map below you can see that the United States isn't the greatest place to have a baby. You may also notice that HOLY COW WHY WOULD ANYONE HAVE A BABY IN MIDDLE AFRICA EVER?!!! I'm guessing that's a lot of babies starving to death. Sorry starving babies, we couldn't send you more food, but our SUV's use a lot of gas and gas is expensive...
