This is bizarre – teach your cat to use your toilet bowl to take it’s shits and pisses, and never have to clean the litter again!

SCIENTISTS have grown meat in the laboratory for the first time. Experts in Holland used cells from a live pig to replicate growth in a petri dish.

The advent of so-called “in-vitro” or cultured meat could reduce the billions of tons of greenhouse gases emitted each year by farm animals — if people are willing to eat it.

So far the scientists have not tasted it, but they believe the breakthrough could lead to sausages and other processed products being made from laboratory meat in as little as five years’ time.

They initially extracted cells from the muscle of a live pig. Called myoblasts, these cells are programmed to grow into muscle and repair damage in animals.

What a fantastic concept: basketball on donkeyback – 4 vs 4. Of course PETA has a problem, but then again, what do they know about animals?

Of course, the ignoramusses at PETA – who kill animals to make you pay them – are against this (and very special care indeed is being taken with the sharks) but I think it’s a totally awesome idea: Sharks under you as you dance.

Quite incredibly it seems that not only did PETA only find homes for 7 out of some 2216 animals given into it’s care over 2008, it killed the rest! Of course, in order to showcase just how inhumane people can be, they went and killed a whole load of animals to make commercials showing how horrible killing animals is.

I’ve been following this story for years now – tens of thousands of plastic ducks which had gone overboard during a storm in 1992 are still being tracked, and are looking likely to wash up on the UK coasts. Apparently these ducks are now being sold for $500,- a piece. Leave them alone though! Let the ducks swim the oceans in perpituity!

China is currently building the world’s largest dragon. It will be 30 feet high at the head, and the metal structure will be 13 miles long.

An interesting story of how lions and buffalo got stuck together on an island, making the lions change their hunting tactics and due to the richness of their only food source, grow to huge proportions. A strange mini-ecology.

A tiny robot which smells like a cockroach can make them gather together allowing us to annhilate loads of them in one fell swoop.
Now can we get human pheremones working please?

PETA wants this crime to be stopped right NOW!

Did some enlightened pharmacologist allow six people to get instantly critically ill because they decided NOT to test on animals before?
Yup, that’s why we like lab rats.

For the first time ever, live giant squids – sea monsters up to 18 metres large – have been caught live on camera. Our current knowledge of these animals was based on dead ones that occassionaly wash up on shore…

US Researchers have managed to drain the blood from a dog, replace it with a saline solution, thereby officially killing the dog and then, using electric shocks, oxygen and replacing the blood, bring it back to life… several times. Apparently none the worse for wear. They want to use this technology to store soldiers with serious injuries, so they can be fixed whilst they’re dead and then reanimated…
Is this going to open gateways from other dimensions into our own world? Have the researchers thought about that?

Absolutely not for the faint hearted of us.
Damon Hearst + technology.

I want a cutey lovely little Necoro robopussy – that would be cat, you dirty minded people you… [links to .mov file]

Spectators cheered as entire Cambodian Midget Fighting League squared off against African Lion

Tickets had been sold-out three weeks before the much anticipated fight, which took place in the city of Kâmpóng Chhnãng.

The fight was slated when an angry fan contested Yang Sihamoni, President of the CMFL, claiming that one lion could defeat his entire league of 42 fighters.

Nope
