Tink Nathan is a Republican hoping to become elected as a state representative for Texas’ District 53. On his website,
he writes, “We need and deserve leaders who believe in Texas and share
its values.” One of those values happens to be his belief that Texas
should end its ban on eating roadkill, as the Dallas Observer reports.

Apparently Illinois and Montana already allow folks to take roadkill.

Thirty years ago, I bought my brother (as a gag gift) a box of Roadkill Helper from Spencer's Gifts.
To put it mildly, this is one gem of a gem. Scientists
using two different age-determining techniques have shown that a tiny
zircon crystal found on a sheep ranch in western Australia dates back to
4.4 billion years ago.
"This is the oldest reliably dated piece
of the Earth that we have, that anyone knows of," John Valley told CBS
News. Valley, a University of Wisconsin geoscience professor, led the
research team. Writing in the journal Nature Geoscience
on Sunday, the team said the discovery indicates that Earth's crust
formed relatively soon after the planet formed and that the little gem
was a remnant of it.
To
determine the age of the zircon fragment, the scientists first used a
widely accepted dating technique based on determining the radioactive
decay of uranium to lead in a mineral sample.But because some
scientists hypothesized that this technique might give a false date due
to possible movement of lead atoms within the crystal over time, the
researchers turned to a second sophisticated method to verify the
finding.
They used a technique known as atom-probe tomography that
was able to identify individual atoms of lead in the crystal and
determine their mass, and confirmed that the zircon was indeed 4.4
billion years old.
Andrée Valley, University of Wisconsin
To
put that age in perspective, the Earth itself formed 4.5 billion years
ago as a ball of molten rock, meaning that its crust formed relatively
soon thereafter, 100 million years later. The age of the crystal also
means that the crust appeared just 160 million years after the very
formation of the solar system.Valley added that these
findings suggest that the early Earth was not as harsh a place as many
scientists have thought. He said the confirmed dating "verified and
strengthened" the theory that the Earth "actually had liquid water" by
4.3 billion years ago and was perhaps capable of sustaining microbial
life.
"One
of the things that we're really interested in is: when did the Earth
first become habitable for life? When did it cool off enough that life
might have emerged?" Valley said in a telephone interview. "We have no
evidence that life existed then. We have no evidence that it didn't. But
there is no reason why life could not have existed on Earth 4.3 billion
years ago," he added.
The oldest fossil records of life are stromatolites produced by an archaic form of bacteria from about 3.4 billion years ago.
The
zircon was extracted in 2001 from a rock outcrop in Australia's Jack
Hills region. For a rock of such importance, it is rather small. It
measures only about 200 by 400 microns, about twice the diameter of a
human hair.
"Zircons can be large and very pretty. But the ones we
work on are small and not especially attractive except to a geologist,"
Valley said. "If you held it in the palm of your hand, if you have good
eyesight you could see it without a magnifying glass."
Adam Muema came all the way to Indianapolis only to skip workouts at the last minute.
Why, you ask?
Well, the running back from San Diego State had a religious reason
for leaving LucasOil Stadium on Sunday. He said he was "following God,"
who told him that if he skipped workouts, he'd end up playing for the
Seattle Seahawks, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. Playing for
the birds is Muema's dream and apparently, every NFL team is aware of
that.
"Can't go wrong with God," he said.
So, instead of working out for NFL scouts on Sunday, Muema caught a
flight and headed back to San Diego. He can still get his day in front
of NFL personnel at the San Diego State pro day in March.
"(God) told me to sit down, be quiet, and enjoy the peace," Muema said.
Well, all right then.
--------------------------
Damien's Note: I don't know if God told Adam to sit down, be quiet and enjoy the peace, but it is advice that I wish more folks in the public eye would follow. Especially that be quiet part.
Benedictine abbess who received the veil from St. Theodore of Canterbury. She was the daughter of a king of Mercia and sister of Sts. Mildred of Thanet and Mildgytha. Milburga was abbess of Wenlock Abbey in Salop, Shropshire, England. Her father and her uncle, King Wulfhere,
provided funds for the abbey. Among the remarkable abilities she
evidenced were levitation and power over birds.

I guess if you are going to levitate, you need to have some control over birds who might get in your way.
It might be a controversial business model, but one teenage Girl
Scout showed some serious sales savvy after deciding to retail her cookies
outside a local cannabis club. According to NBC, Danielle Lei, a thirteen-year-old Girl Scout, is
very serious about selling those coveted cookies and she managed to figure out some of
the best clientele out there — stoners. Danielle recently stood outside The Green
Cross, a medical marijuana shop in San Francisco, and sold a whopping 117 boxes in two
hours. Apparently that's 37 more boxes than she sold the next day in the same
amount of time in front of a Safeway market.
------
I note that 117 boxes in two hours is almost a box a minute.

You thought maybe it was only Republicans who were waging a war on women?
Lloyd Oliver, a Democratic candidate for district attorney in Harris
County, Texas, has a problem with domestic violence: He thinks it's prosecuted too much.
Oliver told the Texas Observer
Wednesday that domestic violence is "so, so overrated." If elected, he
indicated he'd redirect resources away from family violence to focus on
other issues.
Harris County has the highest rate of domestic violence homicides in the state. According to a report by the Texas Council on Family Violence, 30 women were murdered by intimate partners in 2012.
Oliver lost the district attorney's race in 2012 narrowly. After winning the Democratic primary, he came within five points of winning the district attorney's seat.
This isn't the first time Oliver has come under fire for comments on domestic violence. In a 2012 appearance on "Reasonable Doubts," a weekly call-in show
sponsored by the Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association, Oliver
said domestic violence victims should "maybe learn how to box a little
better."
Later, when asked to clarify, he suggested domestic violence is part of some couple's sexual routine.
"There
are some people -- I don't understand it -- but part of their making
love is to beat one another up first," he said. "Why do we want to get
involved in people's bedrooms?"
Oliver faces Kim Ogg, a former prosecutor, in the Democratic primary on March 4.
Police in Beaumont, Texas, cited an 18-year old man for soliciting
alongside a roadway. Law enforcement
officials had responded to complaints from people concerned about the man, who
was standing at an intersection dressed as a banana and carrying an assault
rifle on his back. A local tactical and security store had hired — and armed — the man.
Background: Derek Poe, owner of Golden Triangle Tactical, told reporters Saturday
that it was part of the store's grand opening after moving locations
from Parkdale Mall.
Poe said the man in the banana suit was holding an AK-47 across his
back with the barrel pointing down and holding a sign with an arrow
pointing toward the store. He said this idea was to attract customers to
the store.
A Beaumont police spokesperson said officers temporarily detained the
18-year-old and found he had the rifle with a drum magazine attached
with at least a 50-round capacity. The spokesperson said the teen was
cited for violating a city ordinance that prohibits soliciting in and
alongside roadways.
Sgt. Rob Flores said police also gathered the necessary information
on the weapon and completed paperwork for consultation with the
Jefferson County District Attorney's Office concerning possible future
criminal charges related to his display of the firearm.
In December, Poe was stopped by police inside Parkdale Mall for
carrying an assault rifle along his back. He was on his way to his store
which was inside Parkdale Mall at the time.
His gun was seized and he was later charged with disorderly conduct
after police say witnesses claimed they were scared for their lives.
Poe claims he was exercising his second amendment right to open carry.
Parkdale Mall then placed signs along each parking lot entrance
reminding customers of its policy on guns which states concealed
handguns are prohibited.
Poe then moved his business from Parkdale Mall to another location on Eastex Freeway.
The first trailer for Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy"
has pretty much the entire Internet talking about what looks like the
strangest comic book movie ever. The cosmic team of antiheroes is the
Marvel's least known headliners for a movie so far, but who could really
say "no" to a talking, gun-toting raccoon?
If you've seen the
trailer but are a little fuzzy about who everyone is and what they're
all doing together, I've compiled this rundown of the characters we see
in the trailer, along with brief explanations of what they're best known
for in the comics.
Star-Lord
"Parks and Recreation" scene stealer Chris Pratt makes his much deserved
jump to leading man in a role that plays more to his comedic strengths
than the character source material. In the comic books, Peter Quill
a.k.a. Star-Lord is the son of a human woman and an alien (albeit
human-looking) father, and the formation of the Guardians of the Galaxy
team is his idea after blaming himself for the near-universal takeover
by upcoming "Avengers" villain Ultron in the storyline "Annihilation:
Conquest."
Gamora
You can't really blame someone for daddy issues when her adoptive father
is Thanos, a cosmically powered madman who has romantic obsession with
the physical embodiment of death. You'd be a little messed up too. But
Gamora has channeled her contempt for dear old dad into an outlet of
swordsmanship and murder. In the film version, she's played by
experienced alien thespian Zoe Saldana.
Rocket
First of all, don't call him a raccoon. That's probably the easiest way
to tick off one of Marvel's most bizarre creations. Originally dreamt up
during a more psychedelic era of Marvel Comics, Rocket is the result of
a cruel lab experiment that imbued the furry creature with a
hyper-intelligent mind finely tuned for militaristic strategy and a
penchant for firepower. Director James Gunn has often expressed his
personal love for Rocket and claims that the character, as voiced by
Bradley Cooper, is the heart of "Guardians of the Galaxy."
Drax the Destroyer
Gamora isn't the only member of the Guardians who has some issues with
Thanos. Before he was called Drax the Destroyer, the muscly green
fighting machine you saw in the lineup was a human named Arthur Douglas,
who was killed by Thanos alongside his wife and daughter in the
villain's very first appearance in Marvel Comics. Eventually, Thanos'
granddaddy, the eternal Kronos, brought Douglas back to life, equipping
him with a strong, green body and the sole purpose of killing the
madman.
Groot
There's a lot to say about the walking, talking tree, but he won't be
the person to tell you. That's because Groot, voiced by Vin Diesel in
the film, can only say "I am Groot," but some, including Rocket, can
understand the nuances of his speech. Groot claims to be a monarch
belonging to a species of which he is the only remaining member. His
special abilities include being able to grow at will and regenerate from
even the smallest sliver of himself.
The Collector
The world met this eternal obsessive hoarder back during the mid-credits
tease in "Thor: The Dark World." As we learned in that movie, the
Collector is now in possession of the Aether, one of five Infinity
Stones, powerful artifacts that give the wielder the power of a god.
During Benecio del Toro's cameo, the Collector intimates that he's
looking to gather the remaining stones, suggesting that they will be at
at the heart of the story in "Guardians of the Galaxy."
Ronan the Accuser
The main villain of "Guardians of the Galaxy," played by Lee Pace,
doesn't factor into the trailer in any big way, but I'd wager that's him
holding up Drax during one of the trailer's quick cuts. (Notice the
hammer.) Ronan is an official of the Kree alien race who has a brutal
understanding of crime and punishment. In the film, he's after the
powerful blue orb that Star-Lord has in the trailer.
Nebula
The baddie we do get to see is the granddaughter of Thanos, the space
pirate Nebula, played by Karen Gillan. She aligns herself with Ronan in
the quest to take the orb from Star-Lord. In the trailer, she's seen
taking a Nova Corps member hostage and generally being a badass.
Korath
The tough guy from the beginning of the trailer (who doesn't know who
Star-Lord is) is Korath, another member of the Kree, played by Djimon
Hounsou. In the comics, he is an ally of Ronan and is a pretty tough
dude who knows his way around some serious weaponry.
Nova Corps
These guys are the police of the Marvel cosmic universe. In
"Annihilation," they were wiped out, except for one corpsman, known only
as Nova, one of Marvel's best-known outerspace heroes.
And one that has puzzled me since I was a child and the song "The Purple People Eater" was popular. The puzzling recurring line was "one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater."
So was it something that had one eye and one horn and ate flying purple people?
Or did it have one eye and ate one-horned flying purple people?
Or was it something with one eye, one horn, flew, was purple and ate regular people?
Or ...
Seriously, I used to wonder about this. It's no surprise I wound up a professor of Queer Studies.
Apparently I was not the only one, as you can see by reading this Wikipedia article.

(CNN) -- Kayla Michelle Finley may be wishing that services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime had been around a little earlier.
The South Carolina woman spent a night in jail last week for failing to return a video she rented -- in 2005.
It was a VHS tape. Of a Jennifer Lopez movie.
Finley, 27, was arrested Thursday in Pickens County, South Carolina,
on a misdemeanor charge of failure to return the video, according to CNN
affiliate WYFF-TV.
The movie, "Monster-In-Law," starring Lopez and Jane Fonda as a
feuding potential daughter- and mother-in-law, was rented from a video
store, Dalton Videos, that is now out of business.
The WYFF report says Finley was at the county sheriff's office on
another matter when an active warrant for her arrest was discovered.
Chief Deputy Creed Hashe told the station that the store's owner had
asked a Pickens County judge for the warrant years ago when Finley
didn't return her video.
Hashe said Finley had been sent several certified letters asking her to turn herself in.
Finley spent the night in jail because her bond hearing couldn't be
held until Friday morning. A judge released her on $2,000 bond.
Efforts to reach out to Finley via social media were unsuccessful
early Monday. But a woman identifying herself as Finley, and whose
profile picture appeared similar to Finley's mug shot, took to Fox
Carolina News Facebook page on Saturday to defend herself.
She said that after renting the movie she had to move out of state
because of her husband's job and that she simply forgot about it.
"I'm no criminal, but Pickens County Sheriff's office sure made me feel like I was," she wrote.
She said she never received any letters from the sheriff's office, while striking backat people who had made negative comments on the Fox post.
"If I had, it would have been taken care of immediately," she wrote.
"Some of you need to quit (judging) like you are. This is a bogus charge
and everyone knows it."
For Finley, it's no laughing matter. But that didn't stop folks online from commenting on the ridiculousness of it all.
"Oh god, I'm so embarrassed," wrote Twitter user Alec MacKinnon. "Now everyone is going to know I rented 'Monster In Law.' "
"They should sentence her to time already served," wrote one CNN
commenter. "She'll never get the 2 hours she spent watching that movie
back."
Others were taking shots at what they felt was an overreaction by law enforcement.
"Wait till they find out that she forgot to REWIND the tape!!!" another commenter wrote.
The Pickens County Sheriff's Office did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
A fractal is a mathematical set that typically displays self-similar patterns, which means it is "the same from near as from far". Fractals may be exactly the same at every scale, or, they may be nearly the same at different scales.The concept of fractal extends beyond trivial self-similarity and includes the idea of a detailed pattern repeating itself.

Thanks to Science This Pizza Will Stay Good for Three Years
February 14, 2014 at 2:57PM
by Zoe Bain
Soldiers have been asking for pizza in their MREs
(meals ready to eat) for years now, but it hasn't been possible because
of the meal's high moisture content, which can lead to mold and bacteria
growth. That may be about to change, though. According to the
Associated Press, scientists at a U.S. military lab in Massachusetts have
finally developed pizza that can stay good for up to three whole years. "You
can basically take the pizza, leave it on the counter, packaged, for three
years and it'd still be edible," said food scientist, Michelle Richardson.
The trick was figuring out how to stop moisture in the sauce and cheese from
moving into the dough. Researchers used ingredients that bind to
water, like sugar, salt, and syrups, along with changing the acidity of the cheese,
sauce, and dough to prevent bacteria from forming. Iron fillings were also added to the packaging to keep air out of the pouch.
Soldiers haven't gotten a chance
to taste the pies just yet, but Jill Bates, head of the tasting lab, was happy
with the outcome. "It pretty much tastes just like a typical pan pizza
that you would make at home and take out of the oven or the toaster oven. The
only thing missing from that experience would be it's not hot when you eat it.
It's room temperature," she explained. In the past spaghetti has been the
most popular MRE, but since soldiers often crave familiar foods, pizza
definitely has a shot at taking the top spot.
----------------
Thanks to science? Uh, no thanks, science, no thanks!
But now we know why we can't cut the military budget. After all, it costs money to keep those military labs operating so that they can come up with this stuff.
When I was in seminary -- something I never mention -- they used to joke that the Trinity was revealed math: 3=1=3. Apparently there is revealed math in the Bible.
To save you the trouble:
1 Kings 7:23-27
New International Version (NIV)
23 He made the Sea of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits high. It took a line of thirty cubits[a] to measure around it.24 Below the rim, gourds encircled it—ten to a cubit. The gourds were cast in two rows in one piece with the Sea. 25 The Sea stood on twelve bulls,
three facing north, three facing west, three facing south and three
facing east. The Sea rested on top of them, and their hindquarters were
toward the center.26 It was a handbreadth[b] in thickness, and its rim was like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held two thousand baths.[c] 27 He also made ten movable stands of bronze; each was four cubits long, four wide and three high.[d]
[Damien's note on I Kings: Doesn't exactly say that pi is 3. What it says is that a specific circular shape in the real world (as opposed to a circle in the abstract) that was measured at ten cubits from side to side was then measured as being thirty cubits around, or possibly only that you needed a cord thirty cubits long to measure it.If I say I measured something with a yardstick, that doesn't mean the object was a yard long necessarily.]
Ezra 1:7-11
New International Version (NIV)
7 Moreover, King Cyrus brought out the articles belonging to the temple of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and had placed in the temple of his god.[a]8 Cyrus king of Persia had them brought by Mithredath the treasurer, who counted them out to Sheshbazzar the prince of Judah. 9 This was the inventory:
11 In
all, there were 5,400 articles of gold and of silver. Sheshbazzar
brought all these along with the exiles when they came up from Babylon
to Jerusalem.
[Damien's note on Ezra: So the Bible seems to say 30+1000+29+30+410+1000=5,400. Secular math says it is 2,469]
Of course, the point of the comic is that people who believe every word in scripture has to be literally true cannot seriously believe that these mathematical imprecisions are true. The reality is that despite their protestations to the contrary, pretty much no one believes every word in the Bible is literally true. They all pick and choose what is true, what used to be true, what is figurative and so on. This is the problem when your oracle is a text. Of course, millions of Christians are not fundamentalists or literalists in any sense and so this is all nonsense to them anyway. For them, the Bible is an inspired and inspiring text but their faith depends on God and not on bibliolatry.
Because a friend asked "why pair of pants?" I had to look it up. Here is one explanation, dating from 1984:
April 20, 1984
Dear Cecil:
Why do we say "a pair of pants" when there is only
one article of clothing involved? I have been told it's because there
are two legs, but then why isn't it a pair of shirts? Shirts have two
sleeves. I'm so confused. Can you help?
— Rose M., Chicago
Cecil replies:
Fret not, my little anchovy. Ann Landers might puppy
out and tell you to get professional counseling, but here at the
Straight Dope, we deliver.
Now for the facts.
First of all, let's note there is a class of objects
that are thought to consist of two independent but connected parts,
usually identical or at least similar to each other. In addition to
pants and trousers, there are eyeglasses, scissors, tweezers, shears,
pliers, and so on.
The terms for these objects are always plural in form,
and they are usually referred to as "a pair of ...." This usage goes
back to at least 1297 AD, when we have the expression "a peire of
hosen."
The implication is that the two parts are separable in
some sense, and in fact a pair of hose can often mean two separate
pieces. (True, you can't separate tweezers, but I never claimed the
English language was rational.)
In contrast to trousers, a shirt is thought of mainly
as a covering for the torso, and may or may not have sleeves. Hence no
pair.
The "pair of ..." designation is somewhat arbitrarily
applied. At one time it was common to speak of a pair of compasses (for
drawing), a pair of nutcrackers, or a pair of bellows. But I would
venture to say that in the U.S., at least, these expressions are dying
out.
On the other hand, we do speak of a pair of panties,
even though panties aren't really a pair of anything, having (usually)
no legs. But clearly this is merely an extension of the expression,
"pair of pants."
Further confusing matters is "a dozen pairs of
rosaries," even though there are 50-some beads. This harks back to an
old use of the word "pair" to mean "a set of more than two like or equal
things making a whole."
A related usage, supposedly common in the theater
business for many years, is "a pair [flight] of stairs." Occasionally
theatrical types will say of a pair that it is "nice," and one assumes
the rest of the superstructure ain't bad either. But that's a discussion
for another day.
— Cecil Adams
And of course the same applies for shorts, which the Norwegians donned in response to criticism of their jazzy pants.
Tony Perkins is the head of the Family Research Council, a certified anti-gay hate group whose clear mission is the destruction of civil rights for LGBT people. The Family Research Council also has its own “think tank,” the Marriage and Religion Research Institute (MARRI), which “examines the relationships among family, marriage, religion, community, and America’s social problems, as illustrated in the social science data.”
Perkins yesterday touted the release of his think tank’s ”4th Annual Index of Family Belonging.”
He writes that his “Index, which is derived from our analysis of Census Bureau data, looks at 15- to 17- year olds in the U.S. The research proves what we all know in our hearts: When couples are united, children thrive. The child is as strong as the relationship between his mother and father or as conflicted as the relationship between them is conflicted.”
And he was forced to admit, “Regionally, the Northeast (50%) has the highest Family Belonging Index and the South (42%) has the lowest, with the following in between: Midwest: 48% and the West: 47%.”
Every state in the Northeast, sans Pennsylvania, has extended marriage to same-sex couples.
Oops.
So, clearly, states that have extended marriage to same-sex couples have — at least using Perkins’ formula and definition — stronger families.
Oops.
Using Perkins’ research, you can see that overall across all U.S. states, the numbers range from Utah at 57 to Washington, D.C., an anomaly, at 17.
Digging a bit deeper, here’s a list of all the states across the U.S. that have same-sex marriage, and Tony Perkins’ “Family Belonging Index” number. Remember, the higher the number, the stronger the family — at least according to Perkins:
California: 47
Connecticut: 51
Delaware: 42
Hawaii: 50
Illinois: 49
Iowa: 51
Maine: 45
Maryland: 46
Massachusetts: 52
Minnesota: 56
New Hampshire: 53
New Jersey: 54
New Mexico: 39
New York: 48
Rhode Island: 44
Vermont: 49
Washington: 48
Washington, D.C.: 17
So, when will Tony Perkins and the Family Research Council admit that states that extend marriage to same-sex couple actually foster and support stronger families? His own research certainly seems to say so.
Don't hold your breath ... except to avoid the smell of irrational fear and hate.
A national pizza chain (that will go unnamed) is advertising an interesting satisfaction guarantee. It seems that if you are not happy with the pizza you get, they will give you another one free.
So I think that means, "Hate our pizza! Here, have another unsatisfactory pizza!"
Because nothing is more satisfactory than having two pizzas you don't like.
I would be happier if they offered to buy me a pizza from someone else whose pizza I might like better.
