Crazy Dog Lady

Seems the more dogs you own, the more best friends you have! Hey wait, I though dogs were a MAN’s best friend? Not in this case.
In Pottsboro Texas, the authorities seized 22 dogs from a woman’s station where she and the dogs lived. The vehicle was so contaminated with urine and feces that her health came into question - yes, physical health, not just the mental part.
Although she was taken in to custody for her own well-being.
The dogs were taken to the pound and cared for.
Hey, come on, lady. Stick with a lot of cats and leave the dogs to the guys!
Grandma Knows Best!

Remember how important grandma said it was to have a humidifier? Well, it turns out, granny was right! Keeping a kettle of water steaming in the house keeps the flu bug away during those dry, cold, winter months.
The correlation with flu and low humidity is important because in cold winter weather, when flu is most common, even a high relative humidity reading may indicate little actual moisture in the air, and the less moisture there is, the happier the flu virus seems to be.
Shaman and co-author Melvin Kohn, an epidemiologist with the Oregon Department of Health Services, reanalyzed data from a study published in 2007 in the journal PLoS Pathogens by researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York. That report found there were more flu cases when it was colder and drier.
The Oregon researchers said relative humidity could only explain about 12 percent of the variability of influenza virus transmission and 36 percent of virus survival in the 2007 study.
In their new analysis, Shaman and Kohn said using absolute humidity explains 50 percent of influenza transmission and 90 percent of virus survival.
So the term “plenty of fluids” also applies to the air itself! So if you enjoy being steamed, just like a clam, fire up the tea kettle and stay healthy!
PETA and the KKK

Seems PETA has discovered a new way to piss off humans while showing how much the love animals…
The animal rights advocacy group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals had two of its members dress up as members of the Ku Klux Klan outside the arena to attract attention to their cause.
“Their goal, according to a post on the PETA website, was to draw a parallel between the KKK and the American Kennel Club. “Obviously it’s an uncomfortable comparison,” PETA spokesman Michael McGraw told the Associated Press.
But the AKC is trying to create a “master race” when it comes to pure-bred dogs, he added. “It’s a very apt comparison.”The group passed out brochures implying the Klan and AKC have the goal of “pure bloodlines” in common.
Well done PETA. Now everyone knows what a bunch of nutballs you really are. Thanks for speakin’ up for animals. I am sure if they could speak they would tell you off!
Everyone Has to Have a Hobby. But Lizard Dung?
CJ February 7th, 2009
A university accidently threw away a student’s collection of lizard dung he had been saving for research. Daniel Bennett collected the dung in the Philippines while studying the rare butaan lizard, a relative of the Komodo dragon.
His doctorial research now down the toilet, the university apologized for the unneccessary clean up.
His career is literally in the toilet.
