WAT?? Polishing Aluminum Foil Balls??

No wonder the once mighty Japanese Empire is in decline.   The Atlantic writes, “The Mystery of Why Japanese People Are Having So Few Babies“.

Japan’s population is shrinking. For the first time since the government started keeping track more than a century ago, there were fewer than 1 million births last year, as the country’s population fell by more than 300,000 people. The blame has long been put on Japan’s young people, who are accused of not having enough sex, and on women, who, the narrative goes, put their careers before thoughts of getting married and having a family.

Or it could be that the young men are spending so much time doing things like, well… pounding aluminum foil into a ball and polishing it. Hmmm?

Watch him tap, tap, tap. And polish, polish, polish. Besides the fact that this whole foil ball thing is tedious, everyone knows that the only thing aluminium foil should be used for (outside of turkey cooking, etc) is for making “Aluminium Foil Hats“. That’s a conspiracy I could get behind.

Coffee Causes Cancer In California

From KABC7, “Starbucks, other coffee sellers ordered to warn California customers of carcinogens in coffee“.  Hey, everything causes cancer in California, don’t you know?

Beware of the Dog! Have a cuppa cancer.

A judge ruled that Starbucks and other coffee sellers in California must provide a cancer warning on their products for customers.

A nonprofit group sued several companies that sell coffee, including Starbucks, coffee distributors and retailers in 2010.

The lawsuit claimed those companies violated state law, which requires them to warn consumers about chemicals in the roasting process that may cause cancer. One of those chemicals is acrylamide, which is a carcinogen.

Snoopy Sez, “I’d Rather Fight The Red Baron Than Fly United

From NPR, “Dog Dies In Overhead Bin On United Flight; Airline Apologizes”.

A family that flew on United Airlines Monday night is mourning their dog, after the pet died in an overhead bin — an arrangement that a flight attendant had reportedly insisted upon. United says it was “a tragic accident” and that it is investigating.

The incident prompted shock, outrage and sadness, particularly after it emerged that a flight attendant had required the dog, a 10-month-old French bulldog, to be placed into the overhead bin, despite the family having followed all the rules about flying with a pet in an airliner’s cabin — including using a TSA-approved pet carrier.

AGW – Climate Activists Have It Both Ways

“Climate activists predict both outcomes — more snow, less snow — so they are never wrong,” from “The Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change (The Politically Incorrect Guides)“.

“Predictions of less snow were ubiquitous by global warming scientists. But once that prediction failed to come true, the opposite of what they predicted instead became—what they expected. How did global warming scientists explain record snow after prediction less snow? Easy. More snow is now caused by global warming. ‘Snow is consistent with global warming, say scientists’ blared a UK Telegraph headline in 2009. The Financial Times tried to explain “Why global warming means…more snow” in 2012…

So no matter what happens, the activists can claim with confidence the event was a predicted consequence of global warming. There is now no way to ever falsify global warming claims.”
