Those sort of statistics are created by calculating that a chicken eats a said amount of corn, or grain, which is farmed using petro-chemical fertilizers, and gas guzzling tractors, not to mention carbon emitted through the practice of fallow fields. Such feeds are transported by truck to the factory farms where the chickens, cows and pigs (just as beautiful of creatures as your beloved pets) are raised in often abhorrent conditions.

Of course, if you still think these stats are bunk, add up the transportation of the animals to slaughter, then packaging (in cans or plastic which of course use fossil fuels) and again, more fossil fuels consumed through additional transportation to retail outlets, where they sit on shelves in a heated or air conditioned box store, and are finally driven in your 4x4 to your suburban home.

Furthermore if your dog eats beef, instead of chicken, theres the added fun of methane (which cows can produce abundantly due to their unnatural diet of corn, which their stomachs aren't evolved to properly digest without the added methane creation, but makes them fatter faster). Methane is a much more powerful GHG (measured by it's ability to trap infrared radiation as well as its longer decay rate in the atmosphere).

Personally, I think you should get rid of your car before your pet, but that's because I understand the psychological importance of pets in today's age of "social networking." Also, bikes are fucking fun to ride, and you feel great after a month or so of bicycle commuting.

Oh, and if I haven't pissed off pet lovers enough by backing these QI statistics, think about how many people will starve to death while your obese dog bongo fills up your back yard with shit today.

Huh. My first thought was that they were going to single out "banging on the bongos like a chimpanzee". I guess the notion that African instruments are played by APES is subtle enough for them.

That was good, but am I in bizzaro world or is the last minute and a half or so repeated two times in succession in the vid? They went straight from gauging audience reaction to Bongo to writing and screening it again.

Ok thank god I thought I was going crazy.

Was expecting more of a Butt Bongo Fiesta.


I think you should be thankful it's a pretty ass. I can sure deliver a Butt Bongo Fiesta, but it's going to be way more hairy!

Was expecting more of a Butt Bongo Fiesta.

Ok Ok OK...(Lost power and having to start over for your job-losin' ass....

This should make you feel less like a time wasting dumb ass....

I worked at a Xmas store back in 87 for a friend of my mother's from the hippie days...seasonal-retail...On break one day OI bought a copy of the collected "Life In Hell" Series from Matt Groening...while reading it at work, I realized that Bongo and his co-workers, represented perfectly in my own experience, just how much my life was like their hell.

I quickly and enthusiastically xeroxed a copy of my favorite workplace escapade, labeled each character with co-worker's names, esp the boss, and proudly pinned it up for all to see the next day.(You see I closed, and the boss opened, and I thought her recovering alcoholics Excedrine-addicted crazy bitch-ass would have a sense of humor!!...

She greeted me the next day with a smile, a coffee and caffeine jag from the asprinz addiction, and a piece of paper in her hand she smiled and described as my last check, my ass at the door...(she could have called, I was fucking late anyhow)

I wrote Matt.

I sent him a copy of his doctored cartoon strip and an explanation attempting to evoke some sympathy as well as tickle him because I had had enough of that place anyway ...he replied with a postcard with a "You know what they say, work is hell." and a signature on the back, and a cool autographed in marker production print glossy of him next to a marina holding a duck with a cartoon bubble for the duck quacking, "Halp, Halp! HALP!"

This was the year the Simpsons first appeared on the Tracey Ullman Show-Still got that gear, baby.....On f'sale on Ebay..... Item# 90824655..?

Would make for a wicked bongo player.

It works better with Shatner doing it as opposed to Palin.

And a +1 for bongos!

Clinton just got a BJ, and didnt fuck up as bad as Bush.

AS BAD. There is definitely a scale but I can only reference reality... I know that during Clinton, bad shit went down he could have stopped... under Bush, he MADE bad shit go down that wasn't even necessary.

Sanford skipped fathers day with his many sons and wife to go cheat on his wife specifically. I think there's a difference in behavior, even though its all infidelity.

Clinton plays the sax, how about that? I dont see Bush with an instrument. Key difference! Bush is barely qualified to play the Bongo Drums.

Sanford is doing nothing great, and he only abuses his power.. just like Bush.

I'm still formulating why its different.. but my brain tells me it is and to keep trying.
