Black Dog Blog

Race for 'God particle' heats up. Please nobody shout Foe Yay or post LHC/Fermilab Rule 34 in the comments. This is a classy blog.

As fans of The Daily Mail know, everything in existence either causes cancer or cures cancer (example: Facebook). An extremely scientific study has begun to document these for the good of humankind. I give you The Daily Mail Oncological Ontology Project.

Also, grandmother playing Guitar Hero. I recognise the Easy difficulty of Pat Benatar's Hit Me With Your Best Shot, so you can tell I'm about on her level.

edit: some artwork and photography from dA's daily selection. Dog + snow = ♥

For Anke: Hello guys, kitties and something indescribable. And this, even though the corn is wrong and makes me very sick to look at *whimpers*.

Red pandas with an inescapable Now We Are Six vibe, cuddling, cartoony pandas (interesting take on the mask), a portly and catlike take that truly earns their nickname of 'catbear', a slightly more raccoonish-mousy-feline look, unhappy plushie toys, superdeformed legless versions (good face on the left one, though), some clearly drawn by an animator, a gorgeous painting if you excuse the love heart, NINJA PANDA and hilarity ensuing (I may have posted this one before).

Amazingly enough, there's also a new pangolin since last I looked. And have a cloud pard to round off the furfest.

OMFD CLOUDED LEOPARD KITTENS

Anyone living in Kent, I hate you so much right now. ;)

This! This is either the weirdest and more expensive prank ever, or… or… something. Whatever it is, it's brilliant.

Meet the new Lara Croft. Why do you admire Lara? "She's confident, she's independent"…ly wealthy. Ahem. You've got to admire this girl's dedication, though, when you hear about all the research she's doing.

Ditto here, sort of… MEP helps to get 20 cows pregnant

I sort of wish I could do this. Not with farming, perhaps, because I have insurmountable issues with animals raised for food, but with a lot of industries. It'd be fun! I want to do work experience in a vet's surgery again. That was cool, because I'm fine with blood, but not so good at helping to move large anaesthatised dogs. I saw lots of spayings and one neutering. (Which took about 30 seconds, no lie; it was slice, whip-snip, whip-snip, stitch. So much easier than a spay. It could be that that's one of the reasons I'd probably have a male dog by choice. I'm not sure I'd like to send a young lady to have a stitch put through her cervix.)

Army horsie.

Happy (and very cute) birdie. Follow the related link if you like OWLS.

Man 'too slow' for new guide dog. Sounds unfair, yes, but remember that he has to be able to look after the dog.

Olympic pandas draw crowds. This is unfair. They've been flown in to be gawped at by a bunch of sports fans.

More postmen attacked by dogs. I… I'm torner than a postman's trouser leg on this issue. On the one hand, bad dogs shouldn't bite people. On the other hand, postmen are asking for it by coming onto people's turf and rattling their letterboxes, grrrr!

Just kidding, you realise. Posties are all right.

This, ugh. [Nazi warning] I can just about charitably think of it as a joke in bad taste, but…

Charlieboy sticks his oar in on GM again. He just doesn't understand why we all can't just dine on organic salmon.

Roman temple found under church

Meanwhile, new celebrity graffiti found on pub wall.

Asylum seekers on hunger strike. Who'd want to be locked up and sent back to Iraq?

[Cruelty to animals RAGE warning] Nasty fate befalls kidnapped rabbit

Grandmother warns off armed thief. If you're ever faced with an armed robber, don't attempt to emulate this, please.

Beach lifeguards help shark count

Freemasons charged with hogging too much power!

Clumsy and poorly co-ordinated children could be at higher risk of obesity in later life, a study says.

…screw you. But the link with sport is obvious and plausible. I loathed PE with a vengeance simply because it was so humiliating to be so bad at it.

Traditional UK names 'dying out'. I apologise to my proud country for not choosing Gertrude or Herbert or Norah or Walter. (I like the name Walter. I may name something Walter. And Irene, although I prefer the French pronunciation Irène. (ih-wrenn))

Jack and Thomas are still going strong, and although Olive is dying out, there are plenty of Olivias. Also a lot of Graces and Rubies. *facepaw* chavs…

Shops get fruit and veg sale help

If you got through all that, or skimmed it, here's a quiz about wacky inventions. Wonderful stuff.
