Coffee and Provocation

.
  • One tough lady: An Alaska woman punched a bear in the face to save her aged dachshund.
    .
  • Dog problems on Navajo Land:  From an article about dogs on the Navajo reservation: "On the vast Navajo Nation, wildlife and animal control manager Kevin Gleason estimates there are four to five dogs for each of the more than 89,000 households — or as many as 445,000 dogs, most of which roam unchecked, killing livestock and biting people with alarming regularity."
    .
  • Breast Implants as intelligence test:  From Placebo Effect:  "The FDA admits that almost 100 percent of implants must be removed over the lifetime of the patient and that up to 50 percent must be removed within the first 10 years. They perform no beneficial medical function and subject the patient to the risks of surgery, infection, scarring and pain..... Yet the FDA’s official position is that implants are 'safe and effective.'”

  • Hate worms and afraid of fire?  Now, when you die, you have another option for body disposal:  New body 'liquefaction' unit unveiled in Florida funeral home.
