I'm just glad there isn't an animal that has found a hax like that for humans.

I read about a wasp today that performs brain surgery on cockroaches so they become docile, leads it to a burrow and lays an egg on top. The larva then proceeds to dig into the roach and eat the internal organs in an order that keeps it alive as long as possible...

a clip of dave chappelle as samuel jackson just appeared in my head... "How's it taste, muthafucka?" ... ewwwww eating a roach.

what a cool post thx

I have this album, and it's really powerful stuff. Max Roach plays with such authority. And the message is almost shoved down your throat. Almost so much that it would almost not be taken seriously if released today after the irony generation. The climate sure was different in 1960.

I don't think the audience could be called immature for their response. The whole talk was designed to titillate, as well as inform. Ms. Roach was laughing quite a bit herself and I love nothing better than a lecturer who really enjoys her subject.

This isn't anything really to do with 9/11 or police states or anything. They're just doing it so they can make enough busts to met some target or because they're bored and want a power trip. It's starting operating procedure all over the developed world: there are things the police (or TSA/customs/etc) can not order you to do such as answer questions, open bags, take off clothes, things like that - it varies of course. If you stick to your rights and politely refuse, they generally try two tricks:

1) Request disguised as order. It can be pretty intimidating especially if you're alone around several officers as I was at airport Customs recently. They will do things like say in a formal, stern voice "Would you empty your trouser/pants pockets onto that table please?" which they make sound like an order but it isn't and if you obey, hey, they just asked, nothing wrong with that.

2) Escalate. Won't co-operate? We'll bring in the FBI and DEA, or we'll take you down town for questioning. Been caught speeding and the cop suspects you of carrying weed? They'll give you a choice of a ticket and a search, or to be "taken down town". This is often a bluff (bringing someone in for no reason is a lot of hassle for the officer) and even if it isn't, it's only a police station - except for making you be late, nothing's changed. Don't admit to anything and demand a lawyer sooner rather than later. Even if you've nothing to hide, there is the principal of the matter and anyway, you never know what might be around - maybe a friend left a roach on the floor in the back.

Keep alert. Don't say anything you don't have to. If in doubt, ask if instruction is a legal order or a request, like this guy does. Finally, be polite and restrained, physically and verbally. If you go beyond sticking to your rights and get angry, you might say something careless and you'll certainly piss the cops off and increase their determination and of course, if it kicks off you will get your ass handed to you, by the cops and then by Bubba.

YMMV. IANAL.

>> ^Memorare:
Years ago i went thru an airport detector with a roach clip made from a 30.06 rifle shell - you could unplug the bullet from the brass, use the brass as a holder, then when done pop them back together and it looked like a rifle shell again.
I demonstrated it to the guy and gal manning the detector, explaining that it was a perfectly safe "cigarette holder", the guy realized what it was and started laughing, the girl didn't get it, but they let me keep it anyway.
Yeah, today i'd probably be in Guantanamo.


Fuck you, I already called Guantanamo and they said you can't run away from your past. They've spoken with the airport personnel where you revealed your marijuana paraphernalia, interviewed the girl who "didn't get it" -- well, you know what? She did get it, and she was more than willing to spill the beans. It's time, buddy. It's time to do your time.

A 100-foot tall pile of shit covered with a bazillion roaches and existing only in darkness? Finally, a fitting monument to George Bush's presidency!

>> ^Januari:
Yeah... thats just about the most awful thing i've ever seen.


You must not watch Dirty Jobs.

You must mean guano, which is the excrement (feces and urine) of bats, but also seabirds, and seals.



>> ^dystopianfuturetoday:
Why do bats get a personalized shit name? Does any other creature in the animal kingdom have a unique name for their droppings?

>> ^vairetube:
poop.


I p00p on j00.

Honestly the Davos Economic Summit is not at all covered at Videosift even though its the most important Summit in the last 10 years given the same situation right now in the world. Alot of news worthy events occurred, some videos from the Summit:
