Overnight Open Thread (22 June 2013)

Big ass super-moon tonight morons.

Wow. Buzzfeed gets an education. Eight toxic foods: A little chemical education.

This piece really is an education. Not about food, or about chemistry - on the contrary, reading it for those purposes will make you noticeably less intelligent than you were before, and consider that a fair warning. The educational part is in the "What a fool believes" category. Make no mistake: on the evidence of this article, its author is indeed a fool, and has apparently never yet met a claim about chemicals or nutrition that was too idiotic to swallow. If BuzzFeed's statistics are to be believed (good question, there), a million views have already accumulated to this crap. Someone who knows some chemistry needs to make a start at pointing out the serial stupidities in it, and this time, I'm going to answer the call.

Jihawg Ammo

Alright. Which one of you morons did this? Pork-laced bullets designed to send Muslims 'straight to hell'.

South Fork Industries, based in Dalton Gardens, Idaho, claims its ammunition, called Jihawg Ammo, is a “defensive deterrent to those who violently act in the name of Islam.”

The bullets are coated in pork-infused paint, which the company states makes the ammo “haram,” or unclean, and therefore will keep a Muslim who’s shot with one of the bullets from entering paradise.

“With Jihawg Ammo, you don’t just kill an Islamist terrorist, you also send him to hell. That should give would-be martyrs something to think about before they launch an attack. If it ever becomes necessary to defend yourself and those around you our ammo works on two levels,” the company said in a press release earlier this month.

The company’s website bills the bullets as “Peace Through Pork” and a “peaceful and natural deterrent to radical Islam.”

Education

It's a good thing we spend so much money on education. Wait a second. What's this? People joining the US workforce today are less educated than those leaving it.

Grammar Lesson

2016 Republican Poll

So who do you guys want in 2016? White House Dossier is taking a poll on that. No results are shown yet. I assume that'll be a future post.
