Update #2:
I am going up to the UofM’s Space Physics Research Laboratory in a few minutes to meet with the instrument crew (for FIPS, not the S/C crew) that I am honored to have gotten to work with. It was a crazy crushing schedule to get it done on time but what an awesome crew up there. It’ll be good to see some faces I haven’t seen in years.
MESSENGER will start it’s burn at 8:45pm for Mercury orbital insertion – a little over three hours from now. It’s been flying since August 3, 2004 and will be there tonight! Wahooooo! Sigh. This is like The Payout after waiting so very long.

Update:
Thank goodness they have come up with a way to utilize all that rotting zombie flesh rather than let it sit there and… uh… rot.
Zombie Jerky. (h/t to colleague Inscrutable Half-Breed)
We should count our blessings that the folks at ThinkGeek are around, and are fixing global zombie waste in any manner possible.

What are you… chicken?
Remember not too long ago I put up a post about penalizing boys for being boys? They had their own little Fight Club going. And for being boys they were expelled post-haste. Good riddance to bad rubbish! P-tui!!
Now, two seniors in high school have been tarred and feathered.
“So we confessed. We told the truth. Now we’re getting charged with trespassing, disorderly conduct, not allowed to go to prom, not allowed to go to graduation, and all that,” – Anthony Cesareo, hardened juvenile criminal
Wow. So, you guys… what did you do to warrant this sort of punishment? Did you sneak onto school grounds, get really drunk, and pee all over some pom-poms?
No? You what?
You released a chicken into the school after hours?
Oh… multiple chickens. Chikii, or whatever. Hey…!!
Ohmygawd – you BASTARDS!
Well, it is true, chickens are the gateway animal. Before you know it they’ll have tried pigs or sheep in a social setting, then moved on to buffalo, and it’s not too much of a stretch to doing wildebeests or hippos in private, and selling their bodies for just one more marmot.
Police said…you getting this? This is how it is written in the article… I, at least, am not making this up.
It may have been a joke to them, but police said it wouldn’t have been so funny if a student got hurt.
Yeah, you could peck and eye out with one of those things!
In the comments section of the article one commenter (a sharp one!) said:
Was that chicken registered? After all, criminals use chickens all the time when they hold up liquor stores… - Jonathan Grant
No, Grant, I bet none of them were registered. They probably chicked and didn’t find a single serial number. – LK

I really MUST take exception with Reuters and this kind of photography in the wake of nuclear contamination fears in Japan.
That’s like interviewing kids about their closet-monster fears after scaring the living sh*t out of them the night before by creeping out of the closet wearing latex claws and an Obama mask.
It may have been a joke to them, but police said it wouldn’t have been so funny if a student got hurt.
Yeah, I almost choked on a chicken bone once.
There are two Americas anymore, in one of them this makes sense.
In the other? Eye rolls and a quick, “Bless your heart” and it’s back to life.
Yes, the Zombie Jerky looks munchable, but I see no list of ingredients…
Is it All-Brain Zombie Jerky, or is it Sears Zombie Jerky?
We are nothing if not discriminating, yes?
Oh, BTW, I had a special visitor today. Come see.
A special visitor indeed. What insight, esp. regarding the passing of Wolverines.
Gosh, I hadn’t thought about the type of jerky. Braaaaaaiiiin Jerky would be tenderer but might have lead shot in it, right? But then Wal-Mart Zombie Jerky might have an odd taste. Sears Zombie Jerky… is that with that funky teriyaki aftertaste?
I’ve heard that UN Zombie Jerky is completely unpalatable. No one can stomach it besides other UN Zombies. And progressives.
The best way to avoid lead shot in your Braaaaaiiin Jerky is to get Guaranteed Free-Range Zombie Jerky. It is both Halal and Kosher, and is dispatched in as humane (or is that zombie-ane) manner possible. No antibiotics or growth hormones either.
Don’t worry about finding lead shot in a UN Zombie Jerky. There’s no brain to catch the shot. More of an aerogel consistency. Not enough to worry about.
My biggest problem with the Walmart Zombie Jerky is that they use too much Chinese ingredients. After you eat a few pieces, you are full. But you get hungry again in a few hours.
LK, I owe you a picture of the package of Alien Jerky…
Like boys don’t choke chickens… HA!!!
Just boys, Ms. Sith?
Yes, so I heard…
Yeah, but you know – next thing, they’ll be
chokin’releasing the Kraken. Or the Dogs of War.These boys should probably be lynched posthaste. And their parents forcibly spayed & neutered. And their pets raped.
Welcome ooG-whatever!
I like the way you think, may I tell you that?
Now don’t you think they should rape the pets first, then do the spay/neuter, THEN the lynching?
This isn’t about justice, this is about RETRIBUTION, right?
Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
Did I say rape the pets and neuter the parents? Oops…. my bad.
ooG-whatever:
Stampede the women and rape the cattle! (Blazing Saddles)
Can I get a Harrumph?
