    Merry Christmas from Mars

    in Spray

    Posted

    The Rover Just learned the true name of Mars is Malacandra and C. S. Lewis was right.

     

    On Malacandra there are three native hnau, reasoning species such as humans ("sentient races" in popular science fiction terms).

    The hrossa (singular hross) resemble bipedal otters or seals, and are somewhat taller and thinner than humans. They live in the low river valleys (handramit in the speech of the eldila) and specialize in farming, fishing, and performing arts such as dancing and poetry. They are especially gifted in making poetry; yet they refuse to write it down as they believe that books ruin words and poems. Their technical level is low, and they wear only pocketed loincloths. The boats that they build are similar to our canoes. They add an initial /h/ sound to their words.

    The séroni (singular sorn; the plural is sometimes given as sorns) are thin, fifteen-foot-high humanoids having coats of pale feathers and seven-fingered hands. They live in mountain caves of the high country (harandra in the speech of the eldila), though they often descend into the handramit where they raise giraffe-like livestock. They are the scholars and thinkers of Malacandra, specializing in science and abstract learning. Their technical level is high, and they design machinery, which is built by the pfifltriggi. Although they can write they do not compose written works of history or fiction as they feel the hrossa are superior at it.

    The pfifltriggi (singular pfifltrigg) have tapir-like heads (with a bulge at the back containing the brain) and frog-like bodies; they lean their elbows on the ground when at rest, and sometimes when working with their hands. Their movements are quick and insectlike. They are the builders and technicians of Malacandra. They build houses and gadgets thought up by the séroni. They are miners who especially like to dig up "sun's blood" (gold) and other useful and beautiful minerals. They are the only species said to wear a form of clothes, other than the hrossa, and even wear goggles to protect their eyes.

    Why Republicans will fail in the next elections?

    Maybe they'll think it over and perform more doctrine modifications. They have a couple years. On the other hand an interview from the Repub Governor convention turned up quotes like.

    Had Your Flu Shots Yet?

    According to a definitive new study published June 3, Washington State ranks among the worst in the nation in meeting childhood vaccination targets. In the Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) epidemiological newsletter, the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, our state ranges between 88 and 93 percent compliance for "required" vaccinations like polio, whooping cough, measles, hepatitis B, and chicken pox. The CDC's target is 95 percent. But even more embarrassing, our state now leads the nation in parent-signed exemptions for kindergarten enrollees at 6.2 percent, a rate that has more than doubled over the past decade.

     

    In other words, Washington is suffering an epidemic of stupid fucking Jenny McCarthy–worshiping anti-vaccine hippies. Only eight states report a lower compliance rate on the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine than Washington's 91.7 percent, while Mississippi leads the nation with 99.7 percent compliance.

     

    Our current epidemic of anti-vaccine hysteria kicked off in 1998, when former physician and researcher Andrew Wakefield published a controversial study in British medical journal the Lancet linking the MMR vaccine to the development of autism. I emphasize "former physician and researcher" because Wakefield lost his license to practice medicine after he was found guilty of serious medical misconduct and unethical research practices, as the BBC reported in 2010. But that, and the fact that there is no credible scientific research supporting a causal link between vaccines and autism, hasn't stopped the anti-vaccine movement from growing. Led by celebrity advocates like "actress" Jenny McCarthy—who has made her own son the poster child for confusing correlation with causality by very publicly blaming his autism on vaccinations rather than on, say, chance, genetics, or a cruel and capricious God—the anti-vaccine movement continues to gain adherents, particularly among stupid fucking hippies.

    Antivirus Bodygaurd Caught

     

    The British bodyguard of John McAfee, the fugitive founder of the anti-virus software maker, was detained by Belize’s police today as they investigate the murder of a U.S. citizen in the Central American country.

     

    Belize’s police detained 29-year-old bodyguard William Mulligan and 22-year-old Stefanie Mulligan today, according to a statement today from Raphael Martinez, a spokesman for the National Security Ministry. The arrests followed a Nov. 11 search of McAfee’s home on the island of Ambergris Caye in which they found two unregistered shotguns, Martinez said. William Mulligan was living at the residence.

    Also seeing Karl Rove implode on Faux News was pretty cool. When he called the election math into question it all made sense. Why stop at climate science, evolution, and reproductive health when you could be the party that disputes the fundamental properties of mathematics and statistics?

     

    With enough cash maybe Americans for Prosperity or some other group can convince enough of the electorate that 2+2 does not actually equal 4. But I guess that whole "throw money and bullshit at it" strategy didn't work so well this time around.

     

    I wonder what kind of accountants he or his organization hires. :laf:
