Chasing the white alligator

This blog is a huge fan of zoos. They are the Guantanamo Bays of the War on Animals. Better still, they are death camps and they are open to public viewing. Better still are the temporary exhibits, which parade their prisoners of war as they move from zoo to zoo.

In Knoxville right now, the public can see one of the more freakish of a deadly foe: an albino American alligator, or AAA. The alligator is an attraction for viewers young and old. It is also a reminder of how many different faces and colors our enemy has.

The nudists are coming! The nudists are coming!

Now that spring weather has finally arrived, Vermonters can go back to arguing over their state’s public nudity laws. Debates are more fun when you can hold them outside. And with blurs around people when televised.

And in other wee-clothed news, nudists fight for their right to use the local wave pool. But not parrrrrrrrrrrrrrrty. Surf City, here we come!

Remember readers, nudists are people too … just not old.

Oh yeah, second story. Never mind. Ewwwwww.

At least we’ll look better during chemo

Eureeka! Medical science has saved us all again!

(Warning: the preceding link features images of a shaved, and therefore, naked mouse. It’s probably safe for work, but really weird.)

Remember when we used to say that about discoveries of great merit like the polio vaccine or the artificial heart? We’re not saying doctors and researchers have dropped the ball, but …

No, wait. We are saying that.

And you thought ‘Cop Rock’ was fun

Love may be in the air in Chicago, lately. In fact, love could conquer some things–like billboards. A billboard encouraging people to get divorces has been taken down after it made a lot of people mad. The bill board featured pictures of the chests of a woman and a man and read “Life is short. Get a divorce.”

Who says divorce lawyers don’t have a sense of humor? Those cooky guys.
