Love your enemies

It would appear that the man identified as the shooter in the Ft. Hood massacre is receiving more than just press. Reportedly, this came in the form of flowers from Dan Ross of Lehigh Acres, Florida. In efforts to love his enemies, the hexagenarian took the biblical teaching to previously unexplored, amorous heights by sending a dozen roses to the gunman.

On top of revealing himself to be a shining beacon of Christianity as the reincarnate St. Peter, Ross made sure to translate his affection into a more comprehensible venue for the Muslim gunman by adding a verse from the Koran. Ross's unconventional actions have sparked the interest of the FBI, who will hopefully investigate the well-being of Ross's neighbors.

Note to all Hogganbecks and McCaslins

Here's an interesting point in case you ever want to or have thought about eating bear meat:
.
Hibernating animals contain substances that prevent ice crystal formation in their cells during hibernation. The flesh of these animals can protect the larvae of certain parasites (the Trichinella sp.) within their cells from being killed by freezing. Considering this, it's probably best to thoroughly cook meat from wild animals to prevent possibility of trichinellaisis.
.
Thanks Parasitology! I'm still eating raw oysters, however.

hiatus revealed

With the prospect of one month passing and no new posts being posted, I offer my sincerest and most belayed apologies. This has been a rough month in terms of schooling, being the recipient rather than employer of the more colloquialized term. In the meantime, please do take a look at the newest post on the Out of the Underground blog. The subject matter is about blogging and, if you are reading this post, should give you something to think about.

New posts to come shortly
