So the Museum of Natural History in Noway is now showing an exibit called "Against the Natural Order?". It's an exibit on homosexuality in the animal kingdom, showcasing it for a 'greater understanding', according to the museum itself. I'm really keen on going, actually. It's certainly the first of its kind in Norway and apparently the world, says the museum. (Yahoo picks up the story. Thanks,
nenya_kanadka. Didn't spot that one.)
It got state funds, which pissed off a wee pastor (non-state church) here, who suggested the funds instead be used to help the animals with this "pervertion or queerness". Please take a moment to enjoy the supreme stupidity of that suggestion. Yeah. That'll work real well. What the hell is he suggesting, sexual theraphy for ducks? And the bonobos, which are apparently wholly bisexual as a species, they'll probably need a lot of pills. Not to mention since homosexuality has been found in over 1500 species, we'll probably need to use the whole oil fund to make the animals straight!Then Fred Phelps will have to love us!
A far better use of such money would be making idiots less effing stupid, you ask me.
Is good to be reminded we got ways to go in Norway as well with tolerance and religious fucknuttery, though. Thanks pastor. The next time I find gay ducks cute, I'll think of you and find them cuter. Also, STFU. WTF moral judgement on a duck's sexlife? If two male ducks get happy shagging it up (like these two), I say quackarrific. (Yes, I know that was a horrid pun. Shut up.)
Meanwhile, the Nobel Peace Prize goes to... Another surprise choice.
Norwegian politicians are pleased.
In the HP tale of wank that never ends, an apology occurs. Maybe. Decide for yourselves. I'm sure this ain't the end of it, however.
Follow-up on the 'Say WHAT?' I think troll now.
CSI fandom is almost acting all sane of late (a trend, or a blip? We wonder, we do), but here's a few nuggets of amusement still.
Do not oppress my ship hate?:
And if George Eads and Julie Chen were grossed out by the idea we have the right to be disgusted too.
When opposing shippers clash:
You missed as visit from two missionaries from YTDAW who dropped into the To Tags episode review admonish us about being mean to Sara Sidle and how they never to stuff like on THEIR site. One simply wanted to defend her right to use the F word.
Big surprise, few, if any of us knew.
How very 12-year-old of them.
Senility lead to GSR!!!!!1:
Well I heard from a trustful source that William wanted GSR to happen and he helped made it happen. He done got sick in the head in that old age. Sorry , But he is not my hero anymore. He gone wacko!
Or was it the weed?: (Same link.)
Shankar was sitting by the desk. The PTB were all there. Noone said anything. Shankar smoked his weed. Then 10 mins after when he was totally on the drug he said 3 words:
Sara. Grissom. Together.

MsScribe can kiss my arse. If that was an apology then I'm the bloody Queen of England. Why do people still want to be friends with this pathetic excuse for a human being? Why would anyone want to be seen associating with her? How do people who do this manage to still have supporters in the fandoms they screw over? Mind you, I believe the same about Cassie Claire and Heidi and look at how popular they continue to be.
Yeah, I'm thinking that

Date: 2006-10-15 06:10 am (UTC)Also, I love this from the wank: You make an excellent point. CSI is a procedural drama, but it's adding in more personal stuff, which i'm not convinced yet that it's something they can do
Riiight. Because the show never brought in personal stuff before GSR. And thirty bucks says that if it had been their ship they'd be demanding MORE PERSONAL STUFF! More personal stuff! How dare these writers make this canon and then not give it more screen time?
Hee. GSR Wank... May you never end.
