Pro-lifers in Britain are attempting to stop the separation of Siamese twins joined at the lower abdomen. The procedure would save the life of one, while the other could not be saved. The pro-lifers are vying to have the House of Lords rule on this matter since it is along the lines of abortion. Their idea is that the House of Lords would either postpone or oppose the seperation.

Here is the kicker: if the two are not seperated, they will both die within months.

Here is the broad generalization: Pro-lifers are complete idiots.

The FDA is getting in the way of the Digital Angel. The DA is a small box that is powered by body heat that acts as a GPS unit. Originally, the plan was to implant this under the skin. The FDA would need to approve that, so the makers decided to just put it on the skin. Spineless bastards.

I guess I am a 5.5… Am I Hot or Not? is such a wicked site, though I feel better with an above average rating.

Well, once again, I got to miss a Bad Religion show. I have been a fan for 7 years now, and I have missed at least 8 possible shows. The first few were because of that gigantic thumb I lived under; I called it “Parental Guidance”. During that middle period, I missed the shows because the album they were touring for frankly sucked. Fast forward to 2000, the May release of The New America and I started to get excited with the band again. Preliminary reports of this tour got me even more excited since they were playing mostly older songs (read: good songs)! They come to SE Michigan on tour for this new album, and I am too busy to go to the show. At least The Daily published a nice article about them yesterday.

This is NOT a Photoshopped image. It is a true billboard where the ad agency made a severe mistake.

Michigan State (3-3) at (16) Michigan (5-2)

Player to Watch: Ryan Van Dyke, QB, Michigan State. Starter has struggled since returning from injury and even got replaced last week by Jeff Smoker.

Breakdown:

Both sides are issuing the standard spin about this being a tough rivalry game, but reality says it’s a mismatch. Despite their 3-0 start, the Spartans clearly are in a rebuilding year following a 10-2 campaign in 1999. The only consistency is RB T.J. Duckett, the nation’s No. 5 rusher (148.3 yards). Michigan exploded in a 58-0 win last week and will likely go right at the Spartans’ wobbly defensive front with powerful RB Anthony Thomas.
