I like this one. Though the eye socket area needs a little work. Maybe its based off the actual arcade pacman, and not the illustrated character that was always on the side of the arcade machine. Still pretty neat.
A lot of people enjoy Lamb (myself included, I love lamb and Mutton). Lambs are so adorable, if you look at a picture of one. But few people judge anyone for eating lamb.
The way I see it is this..life is life. No matter its shape or form. If you're a human then you are not photosynthesizing, therefore you are consuming living things in order to stay on planet earth. Even veggies are alive.
Sure dogs are cuter and more interactive than carrots, But they both "live".
Nice find for that guy. Narwhale horn (pre-ban type, anyway) can sell anywhere from $4000-8000+ USD depending on quality,shape,and size of the horn. This guy must think its his lucky day. I bet it gets even more on the "black" market in the USA. (post ban)
Shame that something so pretty and rare can fetch such a high price. This is the moral dilemma poachers (and native people with hunting rights) face daily. Could you resist hunting rare animals that can bring you/your family a better life through TONS of money? Tough choices, & sad statement on mankind. Everything has a price tag. Save a species from extinction, or watch your kids grow up healthy. Tough choice.
Heres a random theory on why americans are fat: 1. Excersise - we drive EVERYWHERE and barely walk anymore. 2. Heathy food is "too" expensive. want to eat right? expect to pay 3-4 times as much for anything considered "heathy". blueberries used to be the same price as any other fruit. Now that scientists say they're full of "anti-thisnthat" they cost 4 times as much. Mcdonalds on the otherhand....cheap! 3. Less disease/infection = Heathier systems = more weightgain. Sure.. you don't have harmful parasites living in your gut...but less mouths to feed, mean more calories for you! 4. "purified" foods. WE've taken all the "nonsense" like fiber, and other neccicary undigestables out of food so we get maxiumum bang4buck. 5. Cornsyrup and flour. Good luck avoiding these food fillers. They're in EVERYTHING. I sometimes wonder what % of my daily intake is corn syrup or Flour.
Wouldn't it just be a cloned computer facsimile of you? The "essence" of you (whatever that is) would have to be litterally "extracted" or preserved from the original "source", to be the "same" thing... you would think.
Its not like once your mind is uploaded into a computer, the original you goes blank. You'd still be there in your body... pissed off that you're not going to cheat death, while the "virtual" you is totally stoked, because from its viewpoint, everything worked. You know?

Save the planet, don't have kids...I say. :P
