More from Murphy on Agenda 21. If I were more cynical I'd think the whole conspiracy theory was a plant by the left to make the right look like idiots. I mean, it's all premised on the most innocuous, inconsequential kernel of truth imaginable. But I suppose that's what the UN wants us to think.

Yes, they've obviously brainwashed you, GY! Wake up, sheeple!

In all seriousness, though, I find myself oscillating between thinking it's good that the GOP has so many nutters because it will hurt their electoral chances and wishing we could actually have something resembling rational political discussions rather than endless conspiracy creation and debunking in this country.

I never get tired of #10. On #39, I've seen a guy at a Starbucks who brought in his desktop computer--CPU tower, keyboard, monitor--to work on. And #40...otherkin!

I was just reading a small item about how runners in the marathon happening here this weekend will be monitored, and that led me to the weird story of a guy who claims to have run pretty decent, Paul Ryan-ish times, but no one remembers him from the races: Kip Litton.
(PS Starts off mentioning a guy who could be a candidate for the apt-names thread.)

I don't know why, but stories of catfishing and their unraveling totally intrigue me.

Very interesting story, and further evidence of how no serious runner would ever "forget" his/her marathon time in the way that Ryan claimed to have done.

Yes, that was a great article. There have been a few really good articles in the New Yorker about frauds:

Two more, one about a guy named James Hogue, who took on different identities, and another about Anthony Godby Johnson, a boy recovering from terrible abuse who may or may not have existed, are over 10 years old but they're still in my mind. Unfortunately the full versions aren't online.

Rock star-like private tutors in Hong Kong, winning trade with their glamorous looks and young vibe as much as their teaching abilities.

I suppose it's consistent with the way the world of television documentaries is going. You're unlikely to see another Jacob Bronowski or Alastair Cooke on screen these days.

Germany to outlaw beastiality

I think the thing that surprises me is that this is isn't something that has just been overlooked by legislators, but to reverse a law from the 1960s.

But Michael Kiok, the chairman of the pressure group Zoophile Engagement for Tolerance and Information (Zeta), said he was going to take legal action to fight the proposed changes.

"It is unthinkable that any sexual act with an animal is punished without proof that the animal has come to any harm," he said, adding that animals are capable of showing what they do, or do not, want to do.

"We see animals as partners and not as a means of gratification. We don't force them to do anything. Animals are much easier to understand than women," Mr Kiok claimed.

I posted somewhere on OTF, didn't I, about a horrible man I went to college with who went to jail for running a zoophilia ring?

Rather difficult to fathom the appeal (I guess I'm hopelessly vanilla), but from a legal standpoint it seems like it would be impossible to establish any criteria by which you could establish a non-human's "consent." So bravo, Germany, for making it illegal again.

Zoophilia ring? Christ. I wonder what the most common animal that is the focus of attraction. Are zoophiles only attracted to one kind of animal, or do some fancy different species?

S'why they rebranded them from sexpigs to something less intriguing. Like calling Iceland Iceland.

Is it supposed to taste like chicken and waffles, or do you pour it on chicken and waffles?

(I fear it's the former, but I don't want to believe there is a chicken-flavored syrup in this world.)

Flavor aficionados will appreciate this innovative sweet and savory syrup that captures the essence of crispy fried chicken and buttermilk waffles, topped with a sweet maple finish. Try it drizzled on buttered biscuits, cornbread or in bourbon cocktails for a delicious treat.
Suggested Uses
Flavored butter, vinaigrette, bourbon cocktails, drizzled over waffles

Pyongyang, November 29 (KCNA) -- Archaeologists of the History Institute of the DPRK Academy of Social Sciences have recently reconfirmed a lair of the unicorn rode by King Tongmyong, founder of the Koguryo Kingdom (B.C. 277-A.D. 668).
The lair is located 200 meters from the Yongmyong Temple in Moran Hill in Pyongyang City. A rectangular rock carved with words "Unicorn Lair" stands in front of the lair. The carved words are believed to date back to the period of Koryo Kingdom (918-1392).
