Geez Grim that was a bit over the top, wasn't it...serves you right for receiving an infraction as you should have realised that the hypocrites can't handle the jandal and don't want their safe little world views upset by reality while they go about posting sexist, racist, homophobic, violence-condoning pictures...oh no...they're o.k. because the majority rules and thinks nothing of them.

No chance there son. So you weren't offended by the 'laughable' animal abuse but you were by the overt abuse. Sorry, no spoiler.
Aren't you a bit of a hypocrite, given that you smoke and all the animal testing that has gone on in the tobacco industry?

Monster mummies of Japan Self-mummified monks
A few Buddhist temples in northern Japan are home to “living mummies” known as sokushinbutsu (即身仏). The preserved bodies are purportedly those of ascetic monks who willingly mummified themselves in the quest for nirvana.
To become a living mummy, monks had to undergo a long and grueling three-step process.
Step 1: For 1,000 days, the monks would eat a special diet of nuts and seeds, and engage in rigorous physical training to strip the body of fat.
Step 2: For another 1,000 days, they would eat only bark and roots in gradually diminishing amounts. Toward the end, they would start drinking tea made from the sap of the urushi tree, a poisonous substance normally used to make Japanese lacquer bowls, which caused further loss of bodily fluid. The tea was brewed with water from a sacred spring at Mt. Yudono, which is now known to contain a high level of arsenic. The concoction created a germ-free environment within the body and helped preserve whatever meat was left on the bone.
Step 3: Finally, the monks would retreat to a cramped underground chamber connected to the surface by a tiny bamboo air pipe. There, they would meditate until dying, at which point they were sealed in their tomb. After 1,000 days, they were dug up and cleaned. If the body remained well-preserved, the monk was deemed a living mummy.
Unfortunately, most who attempted self-mummification were unsuccessful, but the few who succeeded achieved Buddha status and were enshrined at temples. As many as two dozen of these living mummies are in the care of temples in northern Honshu.
The Japanese government outlawed the practice of self-mummification in the late 19th century.

...and China owns the U.S.....well, their debt. That can have potentially huge repercussions.

Thought this was cool. No idea how credible it is though. Seems credible. Saw it earlier today when someone posted it on the ATS forums. Hmm....coinkidink! Puts things into perspective, somewhat!

I thought that brown stuff was shaved meat. I was like, wtf? cadbury made a shaved meat egg? Corned beef with a white sauce (I would have added parsley).

In the weekend I tried the Korean beer Hite.
This was a very nice beer. Went down well, crisp and clean, nice flavour... win.
Well worth the try!
A++, will drink again.
I tried it yesterday and it was quite good...clean, crisp, fresh....mmmmmmm I also tried a "Russian Imperial Stout" named Nokablokkov (spelling might be a bit off) from a local micro brewery named The Twisted Hop.
Very nice. Very full flavour. Very good dark beer (some can be a bit watery, ya know? like Guinness...).
@ 8% it also kept me buzzing all through work that afternoon. It's a goody. Went out otp with Pyro and a mate and found ourselves at the Twisted Hop. The Russian Stout is excellent, flavourful and has a nice consistency. Excellent microbrewery. Do recommend.

Hi, the Adjudicator called and asked that to sort out this dispute you send each other a case of finest NZ Beer (Rii) and finest Chinese Rice Beer (CK) and then play a game of bottle.
