Aww look, your willy grew a toenail.

No sex tonite, honey.

Well I'm no fish scholar, but I do know that Australians eat fresh shark regularly and to this day. Whenever I go back I make sure to go to a fish and chip shop and get some "flake" as it is called. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flake_(fish)
Maybe Northern shark is dangerous or gross when fresh (anything's possible) but certainly not all shark.

Of course I can't find the reference but I read that the people aren't eating mud as food. They are eating the mud patties because they work as antacids. If you've ever eaten an antacid you might have noticed they taste like chalk, so it's quite conceivable.
Of course they wouldn't need antacids if they could eat food instead.
But people shouldn't get the wrong idea, that dumb Haitians think earth is a better caloric choice than rats or whatever else is available.

I got the same text entered is wrong error recently. Running Firefox 2.0.0.13 on Mac OS 10.4.11

Yeah um, I've been "fumigated" upon arrival to New Zealand as well (in the 90s I think). It's exactly like AENERTIA said. I don't know what they spray, but if I had to guess I'd say something like Lysol.
As for why they didn't let the passengers off the plane first, that would pretty much defeat the whole concept of quarantine and keeping bugs out of the borders, wouldn't it now?
Back when they used to always do it (I guess now they don't do it with the passengers on, usually), they'd inform the passengers first. Mr. Oh-My-Throat-Hurts would have had warning enough to cover his mouth and nose with a blanket. As for the baby I think it's silly the attendants didn't instruct the parent to get under a blanket with the kid. If they didn't notify anyone this time I guess thats what they call a lapse in procedure. Shit happens.

Took me about 30 seconds to figure out what my problem was with this CGI woman. Aside from the obvious flaws such as a wooden smile, my problem is this. When she looks down, her pupils stay the same eyes. With actual people, when you move your eyes and head around, even when you're lit like a model, your pupils will adjust minutely. So this CGI woman looks like a doll with human skin. Gross.

Yeah, a bunch of geeks read boing-boing. Yeah, mostly men. Yeah, many many men watch pornography. So while demographically blogging about nerd porn is a good idea...
it's a bad idea.
Because now I'm not really sure if I should bother reading boing-boing. Why should this jerk get free advertising? When you get right down to it, most porn is the same-- gross. If I want porn (sometimes I do), I'll bloody well search for it myself.
Seeing it as I eat my breakfast is, well, totally inappropriate.

DISAPPOINTED,

Dude, you mean cryin' shame.
