here in the PNW Geese are very mild mannered and they obey crosswalks. I've seen them looking at traffic up the street while standing at the curb of a crosswalk.

which is weird, I've heard lots of people talk poo poo about aggressive geese

this confuses me, because I've never, ever seen an irate goose. They don't :honk: they don't chase kids, they don't bite...

they only eat grass, poop and they look out for traffic. In my neck of the woods the geese are very well behaved. Perhaps its because we're a tiny municipal island surrounded by hicks who shoot at anything and everything?

i'll never know

This post was made by a goose, do not trust, this is a trap! Just look I'm about to get honked!

Man gets prison for stealing lemur from California zoo doesn't seem like schandefreude till you get to this part:

quote:

In a plea agreement, Kasbar acknowledged that he broke into the zoo, cut a hole in an enclosure and took 32-year-old Isaac, the oldest captive ring-tailed lemur in North America.

The animal was placed in a container with no ventilation and later abandoned at a hotel with notes identifying it as having been taken from the zoo.

It was returned unharmed.

Ring-tailed lemurs are native to Madagascar and among the 25 most endangered primates.

Thanks, both of you, but especially for the thread excerpts. At first I was thinking "Well that's a drat impressive accomplishment for their first attempt" and if they knew when to stop maybe that's the impression they could've left, but it looks like they kept spooling out more and more rope to hang themselves with

D&D got a $100m+ contract from Netflix to make whatever they want. Star Wars nerds think this is a huge blunder for them, but come on. There's no way they could have made more than that working for Disney and not owning any of the rights on top of it.

No sane person would willingly walk from that deal. There's absolutely nothing they could possibly create on Netflix, and that was before knowing they bumbled their way through eight seasons, that would reach even close to the clout popularity of a Star Wars movie. It could be The Holiday Special II, it would still be a movie from one of the biggest studios in the world instead of a low budget series that'll get buried under a Friends marathon.

Even going from HBO to Netflix is already a big downgrade, this news is essentially a career suicide.

Wow, the shithead even says he was "dominating" her and could put her wherever he wanted her... Until his stamina ran out. He thinks it was nothing more than her being "conditioned". I'm no mma follower, but she wasn't really struggling early on and seemed to be getting a feel for him. She didn't look particularly good to my eye, but she seemed like she was treating it as a sparring match, not a fight.
I would have liked to see a proper fight that ended with his face bloody and swollen, and maybe a dislocated elbow.

Somehow typical: China has really been dominating the World Military Games, but suddenly they're found to be cheating big time
https://www.cnn.com/2019/10/24/asia/china-military-world-games-cheating-intl-hnk-scli/

"Originally the Chinese athletes had taken the first, second and fourth places in the women's middle-distance orienteering competition, as well as second place in the men's, during the race on Sunday, according to a statement by the International Orienteering Federation (IOF).
But after a complaint by six European countries, including Russia and France, judges discovered that Chinese runners had been assisted by local spectators. This included onlookers placing markings and preparing special paths in the terrain for Chinese athletes, which only those competitors were aware of."
