Deep-Sea News has Circus of the Spineless.  Oh, and it’s a tattoo edition.  You can’t go wrong with that.

Just look at this tiny fawn grazing with two adult horses.  The disparity in scale is overwhelming.  Have you ever seen such a small fawn?  To add: those horses are stunningly beautiful, in great condition and obviously well cared for, and neither is bothered by the interloping baby.

This really pisses me off.  Oil companies are raping us by making us pay for resources they’re taking from public lands (lands we the people own, by the way) while not being forced to pay the federal government for use of said lands.  They make record profits and get to steal from us the very thing they’ll sell back to us later.  Right now, it seems billions of dollars have been lost in federal revenue because the Bush administration has allowed oil companies to rape our natural resources without actually paying for the right to do so.  That’s our land, our oil, our resources, and our lost money.  In the meantime, we’re paying for it THE SECOND TIME when we fill our gas tanks.  Oh, and now the government says they’re not sure they’ll ever be able to get the money back.  WHAT THE FUCK!

And your newest impression of pork and beans.  Might as well see it like it is, huh?

Dogs go way back (15,000 years or so) and we’re still learning about them: “Even in ancient Peru, it seems dogs were a man’s best friend. Peruvian investigators have discovered a pre-Columbian culture of dog lovers who built pet cemeteries and buried their pets with warm blankets and even treats for the afterlife. [. . .] [R]esearchers have unearthed 82 dog tombs in pet cemetery plots, laid alongside human mummy tombs of the Chiribaya people in the fertile Osmore River valley, 540 miles southeast of Lima. The Chiribaya were farmers who lived from A.D. [CE] 900 to 1350 before the rise of Peru’s Inca Empire.”

This is why I love Chris Clarke’s writing.  Read his latest update on the Zeke drama: Who?
