Squid injects sperm sac into woman’s mouth as she’s eating squid. Basically the squid has a mechanism like some of us do, which will inject sperm, but the catch is this squid was half boiled. “Doctors found that the squid had left “twelve small, white spindle-shaped, bug-like organisms” in the mucous membranes of her tongue and cheek.” (Huffpo – Squid)

Funny List of how to pick a Chinese restaurant and how to order off of the secret menu. We can picture it already. You: Can I see the other menu? Them: There is no other menu. You: Surely there must be other food aside from Mu Shu Pork? Them: No, but would you like Chow Mein? After all this, what do you do?

The other day while working, a colleague and I finished off a box of pizza. It was great and the box was a 20″ square behemoth. It was in great condition and looked like a box that I could almost pack art in. Yes, the pepperonis left oil stains. The slices got moved around a bit, meaning, sauces were spilled. Deth P Sun once did a painting that said, Pizza is Forever, and like almost anything man made it leaves a footprint including a problem in recycling. The contaminants that come from oil, cheese, and the tomato sauce actually hinders recycling and can cause an entire recycling batch to go wrong. So what to do? In a nutshell cut out the contaminated parts and recycle the cleaner parts. (Recycle Bank – Pizza)
