Lol, this is the second time I’m seeing this. It’s apparently making an impact.

An animal rights group wants to commemorate the avian lives lost when a Foster Farms semi-truck overturned near Battle Ground, Washington last week by placing a billboard near the crash site.

An announcement from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said the group is looking to install a billboard urging people to give up eating meat because all chicken lives matter.

"One activist, Amber Canavan, attempted to save a hen, but was arrested after a nearly hour-long standoff with police," said the press release. "Officers pried the chicken from her arms to send her to slaughter."

Finn confirmed that Canavan did attempt to remove a chicken from the scene.

"We did have to pry the chicken out of her hands because she was refusing to give it up," he said, adding, that while he wasn't exactly sure of how long the interaction with the woman lasted. "It could be about an hour before we moved in on the chicken."

... small talk doesn't come easy in Klingon, as many popular English words intentionally don't have a direct translation. There is no "Hello," for example, and the nearest equivalent is "nuqneH," which means "What do you want?"

Same here. Winning one of these is not necessarily something to brag about.

 

It might be a little less gross if they just timed how long to eat some "reasonable" number of dogs, maybe 20. There can only be one result of consuming 74 dogs, and it ain't gonna be pretty.

What's the result from 3 72oz Steaks?

James Robert Derbyshire of East Torresdale was pronounced dead at the scene at 6:30 p.m. Derbyshire was sharing an inflatable wading pool with his son and a woman, neighbors said, in front of his son’s home on Frankford Avenue when he was killed.

A bus carrying about 15 passengers ran a red light at the intersection of Morell Avenue and Frankford shortly before 6 p.m. and hit a Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ that were traveling on Frankford. The bus then jumped the curb, plowing through fence posts and shrubbery toward the three people before striking the home on the 9800 block of Frankford Avenue and coming to a stop, police said.

An assault bus?

 

Every accident I’ve been in happens in “slow motion”. That bus driver won’t soon forget the scene of plowing into a wading pool.

(CNN) - The city of Quriyat in Oman now has a dubious distinction to its name: it's recorded highest "low" temperature in known history.

The Middle Eastern town of about 50,000 residents clocked in at a low temperature of 42.6°C (108.7°F) on June 26, 2018.

That was the lowest point of the temperature over a 24-hour period, as noted by weather expert Maximiliano Herrera. Not only did Quriyat hit that astonishing low temperature, it remained that hot for nearly 51 hours.

The heat even in the open gulf was unbelievable during our short stay off the coast.

The local Masirah Airport in 80.

Masirah was the staging base for the disastrous American attempt to rescue their hostages from the Tehran embassy. The countdown to Desert One began in spring 1979 when a popular uprising in Iran forced longtime Iranian ruler, Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, into exile. After months of internal turmoil, the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeni, a Shiite Muslim cleric, took power in the country. On Nov. 4, 1979, just a few weeks after President Jimmy Carter allowed the Shah to enter the United States for medical treatment, thousands of Iranian students stormed the American Embassy in Tehran, taking 66 hostages and demanding the return of the Shah to stand trial in Iran. American diplomatic efforts to release the hostages were thwarted by Khomeni supporters. At the same time, Pentagon planners began examining rescue options. MC-130s would fly Army Rangers and combat controllers into Manzariyeh. The Rangers would take the field and hold it for the evacuation. Meanwhile, AC-130H Spectre gunships would be over the embassy and the airfield to "fix" any problems encountered. Masirah was a couple of tents and a blacktop strip. It was the final staging area - the last stop before launching.

During the late 1970s and 1980s, Military Airlift Command C-5s and C-141s brought cargo and people to Diego Garcia, mostly via Clark Air Base in the Philippines, but some via the Atlantic/Mediterrainian route (through Egypt to Nairobi or Mombassa, or via Jordan, Saudi and Bahrain on contract DC-8s). Then it was resequenced and flown to Masirah Island, off the East Coast of the Sultanate of Oman, where a USN supply ship crew would laboriously offload the aircraft, break down the pallets by hand, sling them under a helo and fly them out to the ship.
