I recognized Gus Grissom. :) Mike Collins, in his book Carrying the Fire, talks about their survival training in which they were dumped into inhospitable environments and had to make due with the equipment they had and their surroundings. Poor guy had bug bites on his butt for weeks after a stint in the jungle. (They spent most of their time going after heart of palms to eat.)
In Canada, we have this little thing we do from time to time that's about as much fun as chewing glass. It's called crossing the border into the U.S. When entering another's country, you are respectful, polite, and execute the things you are asked to do immediately and properly. You are entering *their* country. If you want to enter their country, you have to jump through their hoops to do it.
I don't agree with fascist totalitarian regimes but this was a customs agent telling someone to shut their engine off. No sane person would try to play with them when they made that request. The standard response is muttering 'shit' under your breath and hoping they're nice enough to bring you a coffee while they dismantle your car.
In Mississauga Ontario Canada (near where I grew up) there was a 905-867-5309... I was a kid when I called it and promptly hung up because someone actually answered.
I must say I'm shocked. I was about to comment on this article and say there's little difference between this and a 'socially acceptable' form of meat. People beat me to the punch!
It boils down to selfishness that people would be mortified that somebody would want to cook and eat Fluffy while they munch on a slab of ham; but it's not what they do for Fluffy that drives them. It's the comfort the cat gives them when it sits on their lap, it's the funny things the cat does to amuse them. I'm sure that if cows started performing showtunes hamburger would be impossible to find.
Scooter: The problem is, they had a bag of rice, a jar of peanut butter, a jar of marinara sauce, etc. and were only taking several pennies' worth of a portion out of each. It's unrealistic/misleading to say a dollar a day because the containers still had to be purchased.
I could eat 33 cents of caviar a day but if the tin cost $250 and I was only eating a single egg... ...
eCh, I'm not a fan of faux animal stuff, even if it's plastic antlers on an electrical socket. Looks like you'd still have the cord all over the floor/table since I'm not aware of too many electrical sockets mounted 4 feet high in the middle of a wall.
Still, a modern looking rack and a few pegs to coil the cable around and these would be pretty functional. Better yet, instead of having to replace the cover itself, a plug-in cover would be great (like those 2 -> 6 socket converters).
Glad others are having the same reaction I did. I'm sorry, but you ate a tablespoon of peanut butter that you estimated cost 12 cents? And the $5 jar is... ... ?
Not only that, but I've been a vegetarian for 15 years and that has included a lot of vegan food too; these people don't seem like very good vegans to me. Bean burritos can only sustain you for so long and tortillas are pricey given a target of $1 per day (and not very nutritional).
Despite being teachers, common sense would dictate you would say $14 for two people for a week instead of budgeting daily. That's a pot of vegan chilli from canned beans right there with lots left over for other meals. (And look, the chilli makes great burrito filling... *jab*)
I've attempted to make vegan marshmallows (as gelatin is made from boiled hooves, ligaments, and tendons - - ewww!) using agar agar as a gelatin substitute. Agar agar is an aquatic plant based substance. Unfortunately I didn't let it dissolve enough so the marshmallows did not turn out (they were very flat and off colour).
That said, regardless of what type you're making, they are a PAIN. You have to heat the mixture up to the 'hard ball' stage (around 120 degrees celsius I believe) and watch a candy thermometer carefully.
They're amazing if they turn out though. If you eat gelatin, it's probably worth your while to buy store-bought ones... if you're a vegetarian like me and don't want to pay $7 bag (much less *find them*), making them is the way to go.
That's amazing, though I think I'm a little sick. When the lion started jogging towards them I really expected them to get mauled and turn into lunch. Maybe someone can redo the video with a less than happy ending? :)
Tattoo removal is possible but not easy. For even a small piece you've got to sit through many sessions, and even then certain colours such as red might never fully go away. For something that size, I would guess it'd take years to remove (luckily it's black/grey/white) due to surface area alone.
I've got my left sleeve and right lower leg done and would never have any removed. Pick twice, get inked once. ;)
Actually, apparently elephants (and I assume related species such as mammoths) eat their own and eachothers' dung to replace enzymes during the digestive process.

(Anyway, Trinity-Bellwoods is a big park, so I'm assuming people were messing around in the park when the stroke of genius set.)
