A talking pineapple challenges a hare to a race. The other animals wager on the immobile pineapple winning — and ponder whether it’s tricking them.
When the pineapple fails to move at all and the rabbit wins, the animals dine on the pineapple.
Why did the animals eat the talking fruit?
Which animal was wisest?

If you'll need me I'll be refreshing msnbc.com waiting for the breaking headline about the neurotoxin released in the DC area today.
Here's a link to the story (http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/talking-pineapple-question-state-exam-stumps-article-1.1064657).
Initially I assumed it was some kind of essay-response section. And I didn't really have a problem with using an absurdist story for that, assuming the goal is to display an ability to think and put it in words it would give the kids obvious creative freedom on how to proceed.
But since it was multiple choice, it's just stupid. I assume some kind of placeholder silliness that mistakenly made it into the final test.

The answers are "they wanted to" because none of the more specific answers is justified by the context and "the owl" because he had the good sense not to be mentioned and owls are always the wisest.

I chose 'C'. Because they were hungry.
The animals had been sitting around for hours watching the race. No mention was made of snacks so we know they were hungry. The rest is speculation.

Perhaps, if you discount the talking animals' logical dietary habits. For instance, if the coyote was truly hungry, he would have eaten the hare.

Perhaps, if you discount the talking animals' logical dietary habits. For instance, if the coyote was truly hungry, he would have eaten the hare.
So the answer is E) They were lazy. The hare was too fast and too far away to be eaten.

I saw Cabin in the Woods last night (liked it) but was shocked and annoyed that some dumbass chose to bring a toddler. About every 10 minutes, the child would start gabbing (not its fault). I did report it to management and they sent in two security people, but they happened to come in when the kid wasn't being disruptive.

Warning, NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH
What's in John's Freezer (http://whatsinjohnsfreezer.com/) is a blog by a research veterinarian specializing in morphology of large animals who, as a result, works at a lab with a freezer full of huge dead animals that eventually get dissected in the name of research (in an intro posts he says he never discusses their sources for their research subjects for various reasons but being a legitimate research facility, they are all legal sources. Probably a fair guess that most are from zoos). He talks about the specimens, and posts photos of them.
This photo is just mind boggling. I'm normally pretty squeamish myself, but from a "holy crap, I never even THOUGHT about that, at that scale, that is amazing!" perspective this was...amazing.

Tanning is the process of treating skins of animals to produce leather, which is more durable and less susceptible to decomposition. Traditionally, tanning used tannin, an acidic chemical compound from which the tanning process draws its name (tannin is in turn named for an old German word for oak or fir trees, which supplied it). Coloring may occur during tanning. A tannery is the term for a place where the skins are processed.
Nice to see someone who takes the word to heart.

Lemme get this straight... she takes her daughter to the tanning salon, where SHE tans. Which means either:
1. Child is left unattended in another room, or
2. Child is in same room (which she claims), and one is left to assume WITHOUT EYE PROTECTION!!!
Not in the bed does not mean not exposed to the lights.

I can just picture some deranged looser with unkempt hair and glasses taped back together reaching into a large paper grocery bag, pulling out the bovine lungs he stole from the slaughterhouse where he works hosing down the blood and guts. He then carefully placed them on the sidewalk while snickering, for some unsuspecting innocent little old lady to find while she walks home with her bottle of Ripple from the corner liquor store. I'm sure he hung out behind the big blue mailbox with the tag writing on it so that he could see her startled expression, and giggle as she ran off screaming all the way home where she could call 911.
Then he went home, sat in a juicing chair, and ate the heart he stole with the lungs while watching Big Bang Theory on TV. On a wall to his left are thousands of pictures taped to the wall, mostly of the faces of the cows that got dispatched at his place of employment.
I can see it so clearly.....
Just in case you were wondering who the hell would place errant lungs on some sidewalk somewhere.....

It had a lot of questions like, "What color is marijuana" and "Cocaine makes a user: hyperactive,lazy, hungry" etc... And then in the middle of all these other questions, was this gem:
24. What is the worth of the most valuable thing you have stolen?
(A) $2000 or more
(B) $1000 to $2000
(C) $100 to $1000

Big error in Olympic tattoo
It's not every day that you get to run around carrying the Olympic torch in a foreign country. That's why when Atlanta resident Jerri Peterson, 54, was selected to participate in the 2012 Olympic Torch Relay for her years of charity fundraising, she decided to commemorate the event with some permanent ink.
Unfortunately for Peterson, the tattoo artist she went to didn't run his artwork through spell-check before busting out the ink gun.The whole story (http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/olympics-fourth-place-medal/big-error-olympic-tattoo-160521077--oly.html)

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) ordered a halt to sale of Buckyballs magnetic toys on Wednesday (http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/07/25/us-usa-buckyballs-idUSBRE86O1LN20120725), calling them a serious hazard in the panel's first stop-sale order in 11 years.
What a bunch of hooey!
Here is a response from Buckyballs CEO (http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504763_162-57480531-10391704/buckyballs-ceo-on-cpsc-complaint-how-can-this-happen-in-america/)

There is such a thing as too much drug use. Clearly Calvin Broadus has passed that point.

Interesting related article. (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/eliyahu-federman/banning-buckyball-magnets_b_1711110.html)
Dogs are statistically over 120 times more dangerous than Buckyball magnet sets. According to the CDC, out of a population of 100,000 there were 129.3 dog bite related injuries treated in emergency hospital rooms.
Tennis injuries are estimated to be 1,228 per a population of 100,000 making Tennis an astonishing 1,228 times more dangerous than Buckyballs. Soccer, Cheerleading, poisoning through common household chemicals are all over 1,000 times more dangerous than Buckyballs. Skateboarding is 890 times more dangerous.

Well, this just sucks. I just wrote a brilliant well thought-out response to the article pointing out the flaws in the numbers, but it all disappeared (my error).
Bottom line:
The reference to 475.2 million balls (216 per set x 2.2 million sets "in circulation") is pointless. However, he bases his comparisons on the 2.2 million sets, so I will overlook this.
The numbers do not take into account (for example) the number of dogs (78.2 million according to the Humane Society (http://www.humanesociety.org/issues/pet_overpopulation/facts/pet_ownership_statistics.html)) as compared to the number of Buckyball sets.
The tennis comparison is completely incorrect because it is a well known fact that most people blame their masturbation injuries on tennis.
That being said, Buckyballgate is ridiculous - people need to take responsibility for their own stupidity and stop blaming others.

The thing about this story (http://gawker.com/5931368/police-say-handcuffed-man-in-back-of-cop-car-shot-himself-in-the-head-mother-they-killed-him) is, that's one HORRIBLE lie if the officers are lying. Which leaves me inclined to believe they're telling the truth. I mean, can someone REALLY tell that dumb of a cover up story?
My best guess...small derringer type pistol in the back of his waistband got missed in the patdown, he pulls it, tries to shoot a window out, bullet ricochets off bullet proof window (or some other part of the car if the windows isn't bullet proof and his aim was just bad from behind his back with cuffs on) and hit him in the head.

Florida Man, 32, Dies Shortly After Winning Pet Store's Roach-Eating Contest (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/buster/man-dies-eating-roaches-587314)
I, too, would puke and die if I ate a bunch of roachesI love that the pic they have of him is a mugshot from 8 years ago and I love this part:In a Facebook update yesterday, the store stated that, "Although we just met Eddie the night of the sale, we all liked him right away. All of us here at Ben Siegel Reptiles are sad that we will not get to know Eddie better, for in the short time we knew him, he was very well liked by all."Not even "it's a shame that our contest killed the guy"?

Apparently he went back to the same factories here in America that Levis used to use before outsourcing to China and asked them if they could produce it at a reasonable price. They said yes and 1791 was the result.

Not for the squeamish, so properly spoilered - there are no images, but the descriptions may conjure things in your mind that can never be erased.
The following story is from a dear friend in Australia, who is a really good veternarian.
I need to start getting back into the swing of things, hence this attempt at getting my sense of humour back into gear. That said, you may want to stop reading now if you are the squeamish type. My sense of humour may still be broken.
As you all should know by now, I have a new puppy in the house. A Great Dane, 11 weeks old, by the name of Matilda. Up until recently, Banjo (my Labrador) and her have been the best of friends. About five days ago, Matilda did her best to undermine that blossoming friendship.
4 am. I'm asleep in bed. Matilda has already developed appropriate bladder control, and is allowed to sleep inside, in the living room. Banjo also sleeps in the living room, on his couch, which is too tall for Matilda to get on by herself, though she tries. It seems that she had tried once again now.
4:01 am. I am awakened by a scream. A blood-curdling scream. Not a yelp, or a bark, or a growl. A scream, followed by a loud thud. It snaps me out of my sleep like being slapped hard across the face, and I bolt out of bed and hit the lights as I do so. My house is pretty open-plan, so in a about seven strides, I'm in the living room, where I turn on the lights.
I am greeted by the sight of Banjo standing in the middle of the floor with blood dripping from between his hind legs, bug-eyed and not daring to move, and dead silent. Matilda is lying against my computer desk, curled into a tight ball with huge eyes and trembling fit to fall apart. I drop down to all fours and take a look between Banjo's legs, and I am greeted by the sight of a testicle. A bare testicle, with the scrotal skin peeled back off it and hanging below, bleeding pretty profusely.
So, I dash to the S8 safe, grab a vial of morphine, and pump Banjo with half of it, followed by a heavy dose of antibiotic. He succumbs to this quickly, and whilst he's stuporous, I grab my stitch kit and quickly tack the scrotal skin back in place with a few sutures, and then use tissue adhesive glue to bond the rest of it back in place. This all happened in about the space of about 5 minutes.
Banjo's bleeding under control, I go to check Matilda. She hasn't moved from the computer desk, and I give her a once-over. I can't find any broken bones, but I do find a nicely forming hematoma on her back where she slammed into the door of my computer desk, and a few black scrotal hairs under her upper lip.
As far as I can piece together, I think this is what happened:
Banjo: Zzz.
Matilda: Zzz.
Banjo: Zzz.
Matilda: I am now awake. I want to be on the couch where Banjo is.
Banjo: Zzz.
Matilda: I will attempt to jump up on the couch, in the dark, because I cannot see how tall the couch really is and therefore I should be able to make it now.
Banjo: Zzz.
Matlida: Oh no. I am still not tall enough to make it. I am falling backwards. I will attempt to halt my fall by grabbing the first thing that comes in contact with my mouth. This soft, fleshy, hairy protuburence will do.
Banjo: Ow, my balls. I will kick with my hind legs as hard as I can to dislodge this unwanted assault on my scrotum and then jump off the couch in shock.
Matlida: I am flying.
Banjo: I am bleeding.
Matilda: I have stopped flying.
Banjo: I am still bleeding.
Banjo is recovering thanks to the wonder of heavy pain relief and heavy antibiotics in the hopes that I will not have to do a full scrotal resection and orchidectomy. Matilda is also recovering. For the first time today, they looked at each other without an expression of sheer terror on their faces, but I am keeping the separated until Banjo heals completely.
:eek:

See, this is why it's always good when you bring your camera to Disneyland, Matt!
So the hospital "only had so much [methenol] on hand"??? How much did they need? A quart would start to poison him. I'm sure it was administered over a bit of time, which would allow time to get more in. This story smells funny to me. Particularly with that product placement.....
