That sure is some wicked stuff :shock: Looks like the US and NZ still have one each to ban and Austrailia has two! Don't worry the butt covering will begin soon and they will quietly pull them off the market and proclaim the public or the environment was never in any Danger and substitute it with something else that will take 10 years to figure out what it's harming :!: :evil: It sure is sad that chemicals that are tested for effectiveness and profitability aren't properly tested for the harm it does to people, animals or the environment.

Yeah, it's atrocious, yet somehow I find myself longing for a system stocked with two headed fish. After all they'd have to grow twice as fast right? ;-)

No. ..they would eat twice as fast but only as much as one fish..One stomach...

Mind you I am reminded of "blinky" (i think) the three eyed fish from the simpsons. Which begs the question, Is this life imitating art?

I'd like to think not.... but given the brain numbing stupidity and dumbing down of the population over the last couple of decades.... sadly maybe.... :(

The sadest part is Rupert Murdoch... Fox, Austar etc... have managed to acheive a level of stupor in the general population ... that even the smoke haze filled days of the seventy's couldn't match....

I heard of a silly movie the other day, that works on the premise that:

Educated ppl and wealthy ppl for a number of different reasons, have (on average) 0 - 3 kids
Poor ppl and unintelligent masses have (on average) 2 - 6 kids

Of course, if you have 5 kids this doesn't make you a simpleton - please don't take this out of context! They're averages.

Therefore if intelligence in hereditary, we're actually breeding ourselves dumber.
Just a thought...
