Would you give up?

On the news, "Non abbiamo Papa.". Will CNNi ever show anything other than the Michael Jackson trial and the Conclave?!

Honestly, the rest of the world doesn't give a rat's ass about Michael Jackson's trial and we fail to comprehend why the nice people of the grand USA find RL trials so fascinating. Don't get me wrong, I'm a Law and Order fan, but the reason those shows are interesting is because it's nothing like a real trial. Those are long and boring - unless you're one of the blokes making 800 USD$/hour.

( Hear me roar! )

To end on a positive, if not novel note: Research now shows that the jump in evolution may have happened due to the introduction of Omega 3 (brain food) into the humanoid diet. While the men were out uga buga hunting, the women, gatherers extraordinaire, were gathering food from the sea. Omega 3 was then eaten by the females, their children and, in case of pregnancy, fed straight to the foetus. You do that long enough and you get yourself a big & creative brain going.

So the men were responsible for the body gaining strength through animal protein and the women were responsible for the brain actually evolving.

It's both comforting and scary to see that so little has changed.

Note: Brits, is it true they are having a major contemporary production of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar right before the election? Gotta love it.

EvenStar It's Your Birthday!

New Pope. Oy vey.

They chose the 265th Pope. The German got it. Ultraconservative.

What's new?

Oy vey.

Benedict XVI.

A fundamentalist in power. G'd has forsaken us.

I should go back to doing what I should be doing and forget about a more compassionate and fair world.

Edit: Why he chose the name Benedict I have no idea. Benedict XV was one of the less known Popes (basically c.WWI) and his only claim to fame was canonizing Joan D'Arc.

Edit II: I'm so fed up with people going for the easy shot with this guy. His nicknames and the Nazi stuff is so irrelevant and misrepresented by the press. Yes, the kibbutznik is telling you it's irrelevant. One of the advantages of being a mixed puppy - I get to talk all over the place. Instead of going for the easy shot, go for the jugular! Which basically is: this man has been the loud voice of ultra-conservatives fanaticos for a very very long time.

I'm not commenting anymore because I seem to live in a different universe. In my universe JPII wasn't a modernist at all, just a more populist conservative who had an interest in showing a new face of the church while sticking to the same old doctrine.

Dive. Don't wallow.
