For a sec there... prior to realizing what I was looking at, I thought this was an uncooked chicken/turkey standing up on its drumsticks. :P

Bats are the weirdest little mammals. The various species either have a completely adorable face, or a completely disgusting one. There dosn't seem to be much in the middle.

I agree with Ted. Zombies and steampunk currently make me want to slap the poor retard who thinks they're being somehow novel or "original". Same for vampires and werewolves... ugh run into the ground.

When I get rid of plastic, I don't toss it on the beach or ground. I pay a fee so I can put it in a garbage bag (or recycle bin) and it is taken away. I have done my part, as I should. Its what I paid for. I can't help that the freaking LANDFILL and recycle factories lets this crap get where it shouldn't be somehow. The blame should fall on them NOT those who simply use plastic and dispose of it properly.
Regulations should be harsh, improper dumping fines large and recycling should be mandatory at ALL landfills. ALL types of plastic should be recycled and it shouldn't just be up to consumers to separate the various numbered types of plastic ahead of time and put them in bins for collecting. That should also happen at the landfill when garbage arrives. They need to stop whining about "contamination" (ie having to separate plastic from coffee grinds and rotten meat) and just freakin do it.
As for littering, i'd suggest bigger fines if caught, and again, the big companies out there mass-producing all these little plastic bits should realize a lot of its going to end up where it shouldn't (like plastic bottle caps) and maybe re-design their products a bit (like changing the lid so its a snap top instead.) even if that *gasp* costs them money.

We all live on a tiny blue planet delicately spinning through space. Earth harbors the only life we know of so far. Existence, as we have observed so far, is frail and rare. Most important though... Life is a tangible real thing. It does not depend on belief. It does not dwell in theory, or lofty ideals. There is no requirement to validate it other than to observe it. We are alive.
However it came about, be it God, be it evolution, we can all agree that life is precious and should be protected. From that knowledge stems true morals that reside inside every person regardless of religion or lack thereof. Like instincts and senses, morals are inherent to us. We know right and wrong because we feel the weight of it Someone who does evil/bad/wrong intentionally... is someone who is out of balance. There is something wrong with that person... not that they lack some deity in their life who would otherwise be guiding them.
So many lives perish by the minute, so many generations have made great sacrifices to make our journey just a little smoother. I just have to look around and know that if we humans, living here on this floating rock, ever hope to be anything more than simply alive... then we still have to learn and DO much more. Someday we could achieve things we never thought remotely possible if we just keep trying.
In truth, I'm possibly more Agnostic than Atheist. That doesn't mean I believe in a "heaven" or an After life... When I die, should these things present themselves, I'll happily believe they exist (and be much relieved at the same time to have been proven wrong.) However, in my present condition of being alive, Heaven can't be proven and I require more evidence than a book written by people who were "inspired".
What can be proven is that here and now we are living the life we have. Lofty ideas of eternal life aside, as far as we can verify with science, this is the only chance we get. This is it. We should make that life something we can be proud of and on our deathbeds be unashamed of. The reward shouldn't be heaven or hell, but satisfaction in that it was a life that was worthy of all hardships that came before us to make our journey a little easier and we in turn do no less for those who come after.

I'm probably on the extreme reverse side of this. Being on a restricted calorie diet and a bit of a mad scientist I make it an obsesssion to see how may calories I can cut, while still making something fairly tasty/edible (kinda like Hungry girl, if you've ever heard of that website.)
My Fauxato salad (for a cup ie 8oz serving) that I make runs you about 48 calories and tastes awesome. :)
Now... if only Shiritake would come out with macaroni shaped yam noodles, I could do some awesome mac salad.
Now, in the poor girls defense, I doubt one serving is the whole bowl. Eyeballing that, I'd say there could reasonably be 12-16 servings. So... 425 -567'ish calories. While very high still, its not that far off from commercial macaroni salad.
Resers (a store-bought brand) mac salad has 320 calories for a serving. And they claim a serving is 3/4'ths of a cup.
If anything this vid should make you aware of what goes into that crap (even commercial brands). Anything coated in mayo or dressing should really be avoided.

Looking at the frankenstein picture you see a hill in the background that is off-center. The spot that the person took another picture of shows the same hill, however it is more of a face-on angle than to the side. So... not the same spot. Close, but not quite.

Resourceful kid. I like it when people in tough situations refuse to allow their misfortune stop them. :)
When I see pictures of people living on top of landfills rumaging through trash to survive... I think to myself, if that were me, I'd be like the kid in this post. I'd be making my situation better out of all that junk. I'd be tying bits and pieces together, melting plastic, inventing the things I needed from clothes (from rewoven/reclaimed fibers) to furniture. I'd be doing all sorts of crazy stuff to make my situation better.
This is also the reason why I'm pretty sure I'll never need money or be homeless (in my current situation). I am endlessly resourceful, and when I want extra cash, places like ETSY becomes my friend. I love upcycling crafts. :)

Pretty neat really. If a purse isn't your cuppa tea, they also have belts and travel bags for toiletries. Maybe wallets... I forget. Might have to look again.
I got the belt, upcycled belts are my thing. :)

I have a sweet deal with my landlord. Inspections are given 24 hour notice. Plenty of time to wash dirty dishes and do some laundry, hide bodies... whatever. Yay! :)

Hey guys, stop smoking that weed for a sec....
I just realized... this cart is STOLEN! We gotta return it! Thats just wrong!
Lol.. yeahhhh.
The target audience of the "shopping cart chair" is usually a bunch of teens/college kids who already engage in several fairly innocent "Illegal" activities just trying to cope with always being broke.
Ie underage drinking, weed smoking party types.
They aren't going to care that the cart is stolen.

Reminds me of the ab control device that was making its rounds a few years back. It had a sensor that could tell when you wern't sucking your stomach in and would sound an alarm.
I wouldn't be suprised if nobody here has heard of it... it probably wasn't a big seller after people got fed up and tossed the thing off.
