Services offer post-Rapture care for pets left behind

Christians' pets will be without owners if the Rapture comes, so nonbelievers are willing to rescue them -- for a fee.

I wonder if they guarantee the pet will live through the seven years of tribulation.

Love the sign warning the homeless not to drink in front of their building.
1. That is needed to be done and
2. That they listed in detail that the crime committed would just be a misdemeanor

It is required by the State:
11.What signs are required to be posted at an off-premises establishment such as a convenience store or grocery store?


Four signs are required to be posted at an off-premise retail establishment:

•Weapons Warning Sign: It is unlawful to carry a weapon on the premises unless the person is licensed to carry the weapon under the concealed handgun law.
•Consumption Warning Sign: It is a crime (misdemeanor) to consume liquor or beer on these premises.
•Public Interest Information Sign - If you have a complaint about the sale or service of alcoholic beverages in this establishment, please contact the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission, PO Box 13127, Austin, Texas 78711-3127, or phone 1-888-THE-TABC.
•National Human Trafficking Hotline Number (English and Spanish) - WARNING: Obtaining forced labor or services is a crime under Texas law. Call the national human trafficking hotline: 1-888-373-7888. You may remain anonymous.
The signs are available at the local TABC District Offices.
The Human Trafficking sign is the one that makes no sense to me :P

I plugged this into my flat screen HD TV when I got it home. The "HD" now stands for "HOLY Definition!" It made the movie "INCEPTION" completely CLEAR and UNDERSTANDABLE!! What OTHER product can claim THAT!?!
This is the best thing since the invention of the Flux Capacitor in 1985!! As a matter of fact, THIS CABLE may well be what leads our scientists to finally create that HOVER BOARD in the next couple of years.
Instead of Silver, I would really like to see GOLD conductors because gold costs more. I'd be willing to pay extra for that.
What's great about it: I can now understand movies that made no sense before.What's not so great: Would like to see it in GOLD, not cheap silver

I got that beat... $10,000 Ethernet cable

http://www.amazon.com/Denon-AKDL1-Dedic ... 460&sr=1-1

Though really, it's a $500 ethernet cable.. but still, that's $34,000 for a standard 100 Metre roll of Cat6.

However, Pear will sell you some 12 foot audio cables for $7,250. You can cheap out on the $2,750 3 foot pair, but what audiophile has their speakers that close to the amp?

What Other Items Do Customers Buy After Viewing This Item?
AmazonBasics Digital Optical Audio Toslink Cable, 6 Feet
4.7 out of 5 stars
$5.49

Haha, the reviews are great.

"After I took delivery of my $500 Denon AKDL1 Cat-5 uber-cable, Al Gore was mysteriously drawn to my home, where he pronounced that Global Warming had been suspended in my vicinity.

Yes, I had perfect weather: no flooding, no tornadoes, the exact amount of rain necessary, and he pronounced sea levels exactly right and that they were not going to rise within five miles of my house.

Additionally, my cars began achieving 200 mpg and I didn't even need gasoline. I was able to put three grams of cat litter into the tank and drive forever.

What's more, the atmosphere inside my home became 93% oxygen and virtually no carbon dioxide. In fact, I now exhale oxygen.

One heck of a cable.

Didn't notice any improvement in audio quality though.

The $800 Apple iCable is clearly superior. "

This does appear be a real $500 product from 2008. by Denon
The company still tries to sell "enhanced" ear buds for $45 and many other 10x overvalued audio goodies.

IMO, tattoos were cool when only sailors and hobos had them. I think they reached the saturation levels years ago. My local mall has 2 tattoo parlors in it for crying out loud. I hope the fad is dead by the time my girls hit 18.

It is a neat infographic though.

I always wonder where people tattooed that heavily work? I never see them around here or at our IL office at any rate.

Visible tattoos (and oddball piercings) are a "do not apply" item at a lot of places.

People should wear one of those "temp" tattoos for a few days before getting the real thing so they can see how stupid they look before getting the real thing.

I bet as religious sects go, Jews have the least tattoos.

That's one of those lessons that takes 10-20 years to pick up on.

Many are hitting their mid-20s before they have an appreciation for what "permanent" means.

The Chinese media has been utterly humiliated after reporting the discovery of a mysterious mushroom, only have it pointed out to them that it was actually a discarded artificial vagina.

According to the reports, the “mysterious mushroom” was found down a village well and soon became the subject of wonderment in the local media, where it was shown floating in a bucket and being measured and handled with much reverence:
http://youtu.be/789he-8T_-E
Unfortunately, it appears none of the reporters or villagers were familiar with (or would own up to knowing about) the technology of artificial vaginas, and so their theories that it might be a legendary mushroom said to grant immortality were shattered humiliatingly once the video was exposed to the wider world.

Needless to say, online they have been reduced to a laughing stock.

To prevent damage, it has copper strips running down the tower to grounding rods below ground.

Painting restoration gone wrong.

http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2012/08/23/ch ... ?hpt=hp_c1
Church masterpiece 'restored' as Mr. Bean would do it

The efforts of an elderly parishioner to restore a 120-year-old fresco on a column inside a Spanish church have some wondering if a Mr. Bean movie was the inspiration for the effort.

The fresco, titled Ecce Homo (Behold the Man), is a depiction of Jesus Christ with a crown of thorns. It was painted on a wall of the Sanctuary of Mercy at Borja, near Zaragoza, Spain, by artist Elias Garcia Martinez more than a century ago.

Its troubling "restoration" occurred after the local Center for Borja Studies received the donation of a canvas done by Garcia from one his granddaughters who lives nearby, according to the center's blog.

Center staff noted that the only other known work by Garcia in the area was Ecce Homo, went to the church to photograph the fresco, and realized it was in bad shape.

Parishioner Cecilia Giménez said she was asked by the church to fix things up.

“The priest was aware … he knew,” she is quoted as saying in a report on Euronews.com. “Of course I did it because I was told to do it."

In its blog, the center expresses "astonishment" that "an intervention was done" on the painting.

"As unbelievable as it sounds, this is what remains of the work of an artist whose relatives still live in our city," the blog reads.

Giménez said her work was done in the open and nobody tried to stop her, according to Euronews.

"Everybody that came into the church saw me. I never tried to hide,” she is quoted as saying.

"Clearly, she has destroyed the painting," Garcia's granddaughter, Teresa Garcia, is quoted as saying.

The center says it doesn't know if the "restoration" can be fixed.

"We don’t know if this indescribable act has a solution, but there is no doubt that someone should adopt strict measures so that there is not a repetition of acts like this, which despite its intentions, should be strongly condemned," its blog says.

But in reader comments on the blog, some wonder whether the "restoration" is a repetition of a previous act, one from the 1997 Rowan Atkinson film "Bean."

“Something similar happened in the movie Mr. Bean. … It probably inspired whoever did this,” one commenter writes.

In the movie, Mr. Bean accidentally sneezes on the masterpiece "Whistler's Mother" and attempts a crude repair.
