Daily Darwin – Darwin’s Cat

by

“Think your cat is plotting to kill you? Scientists say you could be right“, asks The Mirror.

New research claims that despite looking cute and harmless, the sparkle in your beloved cat’s eyes might is probably their killer instinct.

Cat_Darwins_Cat_animatedResearchers from the University of Edinburgh looked at the character traits of domestic pet cats and compared how similar their behaviour is to wildcats and big cats such as lions.

The study found that the different breeds had the same strong characteristics related to dominance, impulsiveness and neuroticism.

Compared with the snow leopard, the Scottish wildcat and the African lion, researchers found larger predators shared similar characteristics of aggression and neurotic behaviour to domestic cats.

Darwin notes that the little furry fucks will gladly sacrifice one of their nine lives to get you.

The crash took out power to a nearby school.

 

The unmanned aircraft, one of two JLENS, or Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor Systems that have been surveying the East Coast, came detached around noon while hovering at an altitude of 16,000 feet, according to the Baltimore Sun.

Students at Columbia-Montour Area Vocational-Technical School in Bloomsburg, Pa. tweeted that they saw the blimp go down near the school.

“It knocked out the power. When we went outside it was going down on the other side of the building,” tweeted Fisher P. Creasy, a student who posted a video of the blimp around 1:30 p.m.

“Omg literally crying that a `lost’ blimp crashed into our power source and gave us a power outage,” wrote Darian Brenner.

Daily Darwin – Tastes Like Stupid

Darwin notes that anytime someone tries to get another someone to try a new food for the first time, they always claim that “it tastes just like chicken.”

Well Darwin has a new taste comparison, “It tastes just like stupid.”

Finger lickin’ good.

Natural selection deems that some individuals serve as a warning to others. Who are we to disagree? The next generation, ever and anon, is descended from the survivors

Call me crazy (unless that’s too UN-PC), I thought Halloween costumes by their very nature were supposed to be edgy, stretching  the bounds of good taste.  But no, left to the campus PC Police, it’s plain vanilla for us all.  Did I just step in it with the “vanilla” reference?  Impossible, isn’t it?

According to RT.com, “Colleges are providing costume consultants, flowcharts for Halloween sensitivity“.

Universities are nipping politically incorrect costumes in the bud this Halloween. Some have put up sensitivity flowcharts and flyers with the phone numbers of consultants students can call to make sure their costume doesn’t offend anyone.

Islam_Burqa_3_Kids_Not“Unsure if your costume is offensive? Don’t be scared to ask questions,” a State University of New York at Geneseo poster reads, with the contact information of no less than five campus officials listed below.

If that wasn’t enough, Geneseo also provided a flowchart to show them the way of inclusive Halloween partying.

Wesleyan University implemented a similar measure this year to combat insensitivity.

“Check yourself and your friend,” the flyer advises, suggesting that students ask if their costumes “mock cultural religious symbols such as dreadlocks, headdresses, afros, [and] bindis” or “trivialize human suffering, oppression, and marginalization.”
