Saw this on BoingBoing:  Really? Jesus?  It looks more like The Zig Zag Man.  That is probably why she was baking, digg.

The 21-year-old, from Harrogate, Yorkshire, was stunned by what he saw in the leftover grease.

He said: “I went back to the kitchen after having dinner to get a drink and I just saw it straight away – the face of Jesus.

“My mate saw it too when I showed him. It blew us both away so we took a picture.”

Saw this at Boing Boing.  This is awesomely creepy.   Hmmmm…I have a training to do today, Should I tell them about this?

Now we can create a custom urn in the image of your loved one or favorite Celebrity.

New advances in facial reconstruction and 3D printing have made it possible to have an urn made in the image of anyone from just a photograph.

Never forget a face. Personal Urns combine art and technology to create a family heirloom that will be cherished for generations.

The punishment for the bastards should be putting them in a cage with a bunch of hungry Turkey vultures.  They would eat their bones clean in no time at all.

Police agencies raided a Connecticut home on Sunday, just in the nick of time. 19 people were arrested in connection with a bird-fighting operation that was about to take place that very morning. While many people are familiar with cock-fighting and dog-fighting, this particular raid turned up something quite different.

Great interview of Fenriz from Darkthrone. I really like his view on underground metal today, Darkthrone not playing live shows, and bands defacing the value of black metal.

Black metal is thinking for yourself. That can be done with or without computer. Most importantly is to stay away from copying 90’s bm. I don’t play bm anymore because of all the trendys defacing the value of bm, and all the arty people into emperor and such… I didn’t sign up for that. I signed up for rebellion, and I do that the best with my own songs since 2005 which is a mix of NWOBHM-punk and speed metal.

The Takers are taking yet again.  Someone’s pockets are getting lined on this one.  Humans are disgusting creators.

The new section will be opened as an exclusive private nature reserve where hunters would target animals like elephant and buffalo for contracted killing. “This cannot be disguised as anything but a green light for hunting in Kruger National Park, which makes no ecological, biological, ethical or economic sense,” said Jason Bell-Leask of the International Fund for Animal Welfare.

This is a very interesting article on how the return of the wolf has had a positive impact on the ecology.

But when the wolves came back “there was an unforeseen bonus: Not only did the elk population go down, but there have been ‘major ecological effects,’ [William Ripple, a professor of forest ecosystems and society at Oregon State University in Corvallis,] says. The elk now steer clear of areas where they perceive risk from wolves, leading to the regrowth of aspens, willows, cottonwood trees, and berry-producing shrubs. That in turn has supported the resurgence of beaver and bird populations.”

Louise at Terrorizer.com posted some new info on Shrinebuilder.  I am not big Wino fan, but Scott Kelly and Al Cisneros are bad ass!

The artwork (by A Storm of Light’s Josh Graham) and tracklist of Shrinebuilder’s debut album (due out in the autumn on Neurot Recordings) has been revealed.

The “doom supergroup” consisting of Saint Vitus/Obsessed/Spirit Caravan/Hidden Hand guitar hero Scott “Wino” Weinrich, Neurosis/Tribes of Neurot leader Scott Kelly, former Sleep and current Om bassist Al Cisneros, and Melvins drummer Dale Crover are set to tour the US later this year and are planning a tour in Europe next year, but nothing is set in stone yet.

Skateboarding Pioneer, Paul Cullen passed away.  We may not have skating the way it is today if it wasn’t for him and rest of the Zephyr Skate Team.  Many Hales Baby Paul!  Smack is some evil shit.

Skate/punk/hip-hop photographer Glen E. Friedman last night posted the very sad news about the untimely passing of an early skateboard culture icon: Paul “Baby Paul” Cullen is reported to have died of a heroin overdose this week, though his surviving family have not confirmed cause of death. He leaves behind a child. His brother, Brian Cullen, sends word that those who mourn his death are invited to attend a memorial service at Saint Monica’s Catholic Church in Santa Monica, CA, this Saturday at 1030am

I am on board with this, except for the saving humanity part.  We need to die off we are a parasite on the face of the Earth and we have forfeited our right to survive.

Alarmed with the almost daily reporting of rapidly declining tiger numbers and the inaction that follows, school children and several civil society groups in the Indian capital city of New Delhi are coming together to demand the basic right of the tiger–a Right to Survival. And in that, ensuring the survival of the entire human race. The Rally that follows a tiger consultation will also be a shift from all that has been done to all that needs to be done. As an organizer of the rally, comments like these are both inspiring and thought provoking.
