This is a very clever idea and funny - a website spoofing the Amazon.com model and it's all about brains. Hmmm... maybe there's something there for those pitiful creatures (see earlier post below) who actually believe what Rush Limbaugh has to say. Ha ha ha ha ha...

This Is YOUR Food Supply On Steroids
Hormones: Here's the Beef
Environmental concerns reemerge over steroids given to livestock
Each year, U.S. farmers raise some 36 million beef cattle. Farmers fatten up two-thirds of these animals by using hormones.
Many cattle are fed the same muscle-building androgens—usually testosterone surrogates—that some athletes consume. Other animals receive estrogens, the primary female sex hormones, or progestins, semiandrogenic agents that shut down a female's estrus cycle. Progestins fuel meat-building by freeing up resources that would have gone into the reproductive cycle.
While federal law prohibits people from self-medicating with most steroids, administering these drugs to U.S. cattle is not only permissible but de rigueur.
So far, almost all concern about this practice has focused on whether trace residues of these hormones in the meat have human-health consequences. But there's another way that these powerful agents can find their way into people and other animals. A substantial portion of the hormones literally passes through the cattle into their feces and ends up in the environment, where it can get into other food and drinking water.
Some scientists say that it's time to better manage livestock's hormone-laced waste stream, which has flowed unabated in North America for decades.

Swedish city hit by youth riots
'Youth Riots' is the dhimmi word for 'Muslim Invaders'.
Dozens of youths have rioted in the southern Swedish city of Malmo for a se More..cond consecutive night, setting cars on fire and clashing with police.
"We've had a very difficult evening," a police spokeswoman told the AFP news agency late on Thursday.
"There have been fires burning since this afternoon... extensive damage to public property, and... stone-throwing and bomb threats against police."
She said the trouble was linked to the closure of an Islamic centre.
The owner of the building, in an immigrant neighbourhood, had decided not to renew the centre's lease. The centre, which included a mosque, had to move out.
But some youths squatted in the premises, until they were evicted by police earlier this week.
Once police left the premises, the youths returned, setting fires in the area. They then clashed with police.
"The origin of the riots is the occupation of the building. But that's not really the reason now, now other troublemakers have just joined in, taking advantage of the situation," police spokeswoman Ewa-Gun Westford told AFP.

INTERESTING RESORT: Poseidon Resorts (Fiji)
About 70% of the exterior surface of each undersea suite is clear acrylic to afford panoramic views of life under the ocean. Five-star restaurants, an undersea wedding chapel, and full resort amenities (each with their own panoramic views of the ocean) all pressurized at surface pressure make this a truly unique experience.
Oh yeah, in case you get nostalgic for the open air, it seems they own the entire island where they are located and you have an entire island's worth of amenities, including a golf course, at your disposal.
The only bad news: They don't start taking reservations until January 2010.

Murderer Mixed Victim in the Blender
LA man convicted of dismemberment murder
LOS ANGELES — A parolee has been convicted of murder for dismembering a man's body and dumping it in two trash bins in December 2007.
Frank Ruiz had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity but was convicted on Thursday. The 23-year-old is scheduled to return to court Monday for the trial's sanity phase.
Authorities say the killing of 47-year-old Patrick Moore was discovered after a cleaning woman found what appeared to be meat in plastic shopping bags in Ruiz's room, and he was told to remove it. Moore's remains were found in two trash bins at a liquor store and a drug store.
Investigators also discovered a blender containing what appeared to be human tissue.
Ruiz had previously been convicted of burglary in 2004.

Lady Broke Lease by Being Murder Victim
On Christmas Eve 2008, nine members of one family were massacred by an ex-husband of one of the adult women. See that story HERE.
Now the landlord of one of the murder victims is demanding money from her surviving children for penalties this woman accrued for "breaking the lease." Once she was dead, as in being murdered, she apparently stopped paying rent without notice and that violates the lease so the landlord wants the surviving children to pay up. Read that story HERE.
The landlord or property management firm are a bunch of morons.
