Pics that come through the email.

Ya gotta love the phenomenon of the email pic.

... But these are nothing compared to the sometimes amusing, often truly gross, and visually disturbing stuff at rotten.com

A bad root is better than no root at all?

SAr sent this one.
I tried to check out the website, bit it didn't seem to be working. So maybe someone is yanking someone else's chain? Is this viral marketing gone mad?
I suppose the so-called humour element won't travel very well. Oh well.

Eye-teasers

Thanks, Aven, these pics are genuinely intriguing!
They remind me of some of the pics in the old Coles Funny Picture Book.

"Low-risk" slaughter... But what about the T-bone?

A butcher in an abattoir chops out the spine of a cow during a demonstration of the so called "low risk slaughter" method in Wartenberg, near Munich February 19, 2001. During a "low risk slaughter" the spine is cut out in one piece. The number of cattle slaughtered in Germany in December, shortly after the discovery of the first mad cow case in the country, slumped 51.4 percent year-on-year, the Federal Statistics Office said on Monday.

When I saw this pic on the yahoo daily news, I could not help wondering whether BSE may spell the end of the T-bone steak. (The top of the "T" is the spine, cut in half)

I think there is something to be said about being honest about one's past 'work' experiences .

"The real olympic spirit"

This is the way we really feel about the torch relay, and come to think of it, the whole Olympic scene. As some sports dude cruises through the suburbs in clothes you would be embarrssed to go to the video shop in, some quick thinking lads appear to have borrowed a ladder from the next door neighbours to do a spot of gutter cleaning. Gotta be careful with flames about.
