Kangaroo dodges German pursuers
A kangaroo called Jumpy is still on the loose in Bavaria, southern Germany, nearly four days after hopping out of its pen. Police, firefighters, two vets and the owner have been searching the town of Erlangen for the kangaroo.

It is not the first time Jumpy has jumped to freedom. He went on a similar adventure about a week ago, but then decided to return home to Veitsbronn.

Experts say escaped kangaroos can live a long time in the wild, eating grass.

But the head of the Nuremberg Zoo, Dag Encke, said Jumpy was probably feeling stressed “because he’s alone and being pursued,” the German news agency DPA reported.

Jumpy, 50 centimetres (19.5 inches) tall and 18 months old, was last seen in a firm’s courtyard, but slipped away before his pursuers could reach him.

The owner, Alexandra Lux, said she thought Jumpy was unlikely to reappear in daylight, but was probably “having a rest under a tree”.

Can someone please explain to me the necessity for reporters to stand outside in the rain during a hurricane? We KNOW its windy when we see things being ripped apart, and we know its raining when we see cities catastrophically flooded. Why do these fools go out and stand in 95 mph wind? That it is windy, is not news. What WOULD be news is if there was a live shot of some stupid reporter standing out in the wind and a piece of roofing comes along and decapitates them. No more “Live Team Coverage” for that reporter… duh..

Wow! I found The Queen James Bible off of the Metafilter… lol

Excerpt (Leviticus):

1:1 Moses awoke with a start. He was inside the tabernacle for some reason. He put on his PVC dressing gown and opened the curtain door.
1:2 He wandered about like a man who’d had his eyes shot out. A man like Isaac. Then he opened them.
1:3 As he looked out upon the new dawn, something struck him as being very odd. The sunrise was green, for a start, and all across the sky, smeared out in what appeared to be lard was the word “LEVICITUS”
1:4 God quickly corrected his spelling and the sky read “LEVITICUS”– THE BOOK WHERE YOU ALL DIE! Only kidding! OR AM I!?”

The Queen James Mission Statement:

So, in short, our goal is to rewrite the entire Christian Bible. From Old Testament to New Testament, no word will be left unchanged. No moral will be left uncorrupted. No penis joke will be left unmade. It will be a tough, lengthy and probably fatal task, yet we shoulder the burden for the good of our fellow man.

YAY.. lolololol

I am VERY upset with Battlestar Galactica. This show is going to give me anxiety attacks. It’s that good. I’m going be very grumpy since the next episode isn’t for another two weeks. HOW DARE THEY. Stupid Labor Day weekend. ALL OF YOU. BACK TO WORK. NOW!!!

As I was exiting Whole Foods this evening doing my every-third-day grocery shopping (Boca only puts four veggie burgers in a box..) there was an SUV on the way to my MINI. I initially noticed the SUV on my way in because its license plate was HRYPOTR. Obviously they’re fans of the series. What made this kinda spooky was that I just picked up the first two DVD’s at Targé. Anyway - on my way out I looked at the back of this vehicle again saw the bumper sticker and actually gasped out loud and started laughing. Luckily there wasn’t anyone near by.

I don’t have to make these things up. I want the tote bag.

I won’t ever skip classes this semester. Why? Because then I can’t see all the campus porn! People watching is tons of fun, especially when they’re all young and beautiful. Example:

I went to the Student Recreation Complex today to check it out and see what they had, etc. as I was locking my bike up I couldn’t help but notice the extremely good looking, muscled, shirtless, tan boy jogging outside. He had one of those backs that make me melt, yum. I go into the complex and look around a bit, come right back out (I wasn’t in proper attire to workout anyway) and as I am unlocking my bike said hot muscled, shirtless now sweaty boy comes about to where I am to his belongings and pops the lid to a jug of water and pours it all over his body. Of course I realize I am just standing there staring at him when he looks my way and I quickly resume my task of unlocking my bike.

I’m going to enjoy working out at the SRC.

This is how excited I am that it is the weekend!
