Is this a beauty or what? This a low impact home built in Wales by the current owners. It is dug into the hillside, and it blends into the surroundings nicely. They used straw bales in the floor, wall, and roof for perfect and natural insulation. Their fridge is even cooled by the naturally cool foundation. The only thing it is missing is a beach. For more pics and info and how they did it in detail, check out their site, A Low Impact Woodland Home.

So I just ran into this picture… I had no idea they did this. This mutation was created by a group of scientists at the genetics faculty at the Rehovot Agronomy Institute near Tel Aviv, Israel. What is this world coming to?

This newly created chicken is considered ‘convenient’ and ‘energy efficient’. ‘Energy efficient’ because these chickens can live in hot countries without cooling systems since they do not have their jackets on.

Chickens were already the most abused animals on he planet, and now they have learned to genetically modify them to look like this? This obviously leaves them more susceptible to parasites and mosquito attacks.

“The chicken is disgusting”, says Joyce D’Silva of Compassion in World Farming. “It’s a prime example of sick science and the suggestion that it would be an improvement for developing countries is obscene.”

I felt bad enough for the hairless guinea pigs (skinny pigs) at the pet store, but at least they aren’t hairless for easier eating. This is just pathetic.

I have just stumbled upon a website that I found very interesting and I feel the need to share. Now that I think about it, I am definitely going to add them to my list of permanent links. This website not only shows you up to date populations for our entire planet, but it also has a ticker that counts (from the moment the site loads) the number of people who have been born, who have died, and the amount of C02 emitted since your visit began. I’ve been on the site for about 10 minutes and already 589, 000 tonnes of c02 has been emitted. Check it out for yourself at BreathingEarth.net.

So the new Simpsons movie is coming out, or it already has. I must say, I really do not care at all about it. Seems to me like one last gasp for a show that has run just a bit past its prime.

With Simpsons previews on the air though, it reminded me of a Simpsons episode that aired when I did still watch the show. It was the episode where Homer held a barbeque and the main course was that poor piggy with an apple in his mouth.

Lisa was all about the vegetables though, and she made “enough gazpacho for everyone!” Homer reacted to her vegetarianism with a catchy little tune, “You don’t make friends with salad”.

Later in that episode the poor piggy goes for a ride, “it’s just a little dirty, it’s still good! It’s still good!” But that is beside the point.

You DO make friends with salad. Animals are the greatest friends a human can attain. They don’t lie, they don’t steal, and they will never take advantage of you.

If my girlfriend and I could move to the jungle right now and live like that 1980’s Tarzan, I would be all for it. A nice tree house in paradise with all of my animals friends sounds just perfect to me.

Back when that episode did air, I admit, I was an evil meat eater and I thought it was funny. I am quite happy to say that my views have changed for the better, and I now believe that little song is a total lie.

Friend animals, they already love you. (No, not you Micheal Vick, you are excluded. Rot please.)
