So... Now we're calling out the bomb squad for litter bugs

We just had a similar incident over an abandoned suitcase full of stuffed animals.

And my daughter's boyfriend just announced that he wants a job on the bomb squad...specifically, the Teddy Ruxpin Disposal Unit.

"So, in other words, some debris fell off a truck. A paranoid motorist called it in. An overreacting police department shuts down a highway during rush hour and calls the bomb squad, causing countless motorist to spend hours sitting in traffic and thousands of dollars of police overtime," the user wrote. "When, they probably could have just kicked whatever it was to the side of the road and call he public works department out to through it out."
And Krev offered in response: "And if it exploded you'd be screeching about how careless the police are."
Once again the boogieman is behind every tree...as our entire culture goes completely to shit with rampant paranoia.

This from OpenCulture.comMusician Shows How to Sing Two Notes at Once in Mesmerizing Video
in Music | October 6th, 2014
Anna-Maria Hefele, a musician based in Munich, has an unusual talent. She can sing two notes at once. In the music world, it’s known as polyphonic overtone singing, and it’s believed that the practice originated and still endures in Mongolia. Above, Hefele offers a pretty captivating five-minute display of her technique. On her website, she notes that she offers concerts, lecture performances, and workshops in overtone singing. In fact, there’s a workshop being held later this month near Salzburg, Austria. Find updates on Hefele’s Facebook page. Enjoy!
She's pretty amazing! (She's also rather pretty too.)

the video is live, and every human being is able learn overtone singing

How To Protect Yourself Against Ebola
This week saw the first confirmed case of Ebola virus within the United States, the latest development in an outbreak that has already claimed over 3,000 lives. Here are some ways you can protect yourself against this deadly disease:
- Boil all bodily fluids before consumption.
- Regularly examine your DNA under an electron microscope for any indication that Ebola has attached itself to your cell membranes.
- Recognize the symptoms of Ebola, which include fever, chills, and developing symptoms too late to do anything about them.
- Cover the nose and mouth of Ebola patients when they sneeze to avoid spreading germs.
- Avoid eating bat soup, which is actually pretty sound advice whether there’s an ongoing Ebola outbreak or not.
- Ebola can only be spread once patients are symptomatic, so if you believe you’ve been exposed, get all your errands and public trips out of the way before your symptoms start showing.
- Be sure to stay up to date on developments by signing up for the official CDC phone tree.
- Try being born one of the 15 percent of rural Gabonese citizens with natural immunity to the virus.
- Give billions of dollars to pharmaceutical companies.
- If you see a suspicious-looking filamentous virus particle roughly one micron in length, stay away.
- Continue following lifelong plan of avoiding Dallas, TX at all costs.

Failing to read your own material ... Priceless!-Stoic Joker (October 03, 2014, 12:35 PM)
Metal bands started using baritone guitars in the late 1980s, as it became increasingly popular to "down-tune" or "drop-tune". Early examples include Carcass (using B Standard) and Bolt Thrower (Using A Standard on Realms of Chaos). Pat O'Brien of the band Cannibal Corpse has a baritone guitar to allow him to use the tuning G# without experiencing tuning problems because of his use of a Floyd Rose Tremolo.Dylan Carlson of drone metal band Earth played a baritone guitar on Hex (Or Printing in the Infernal Method). Machine Head also uses baritone guitars tuned to Drop B and C# standard (tuned 40 cents sharp). Robb Flynn, singer and guitarist from the band also has a signature Epiphone Baritone Flying V called "Love Death".

“I find it surprising that when given the chance to provide a cogent, on-the record explanation for how they discovered the server, they instead produced a statement that has been shown inconsistent with reality, and that they knew would be inconsistent with reality,” Weaver said. “”Let me tell you, those tin foil hats are looking more and more fashionable each day.”
