Antarctic Ozone Hole Leveling Off

twistedfuck writes: "An Irish Time article reports that the size of the hole in the antartican ozone layer is levelling off and should begin reducing in size. It seems like it should be welcome news but it is tempered by the fact that more UV radiation will reach the southern hemisphere this year because the hole will persist longer. Unfortunately I can not find any details regarding the NOAA report on their website." Update: 11/06 17:31 GMT by H :Thanks to Isaac Lewis, NOAA Sysadmin and Slashdot reader, for pointing out more information, as well as pointing out the ozonelayer site.

    In gym class we laughed at him. Taco showered in his underwear. Then one day we pulled off his briefs. There in the gym room shower was CmdrTaco displaying the cutest teeny tinyest little errection you ever saw! That little pipsqueak got a bitty hard-on in gym class shower. What a queer. We all suspected he was a fag, but his little gym class "splinter" confirmed it.

    Michael Sims:
    What You Aren't Supposed to Know

    Daddy's Little Boy

    Having killed his mother in childbirth, Michael was left with only his father to raise him-- a man with well-documented social disorders and sick sexual fetishes.

    During his youth, Michael Sr. was known by the nickname "Mikey the Twink," a reference to his thin, hairless body, and chest that was smaller than his waist, like a young boy's. The crowd Mikey the Twink ran with
    was more than just a little questionable. How many times would you have been allowed to arrive home at midnight with your clothes torn and semen leaking out of your bruised mouth? Well, this was San Francisco,
    and evidently Michael Sr. got away with this behavior while he was growing up gay on the mean streets of the Faggot Sex Capitol of the world.

    Fastforward to middle age, and this homosexual cock-lusting faggot is left with a son to rear. No wonder the Michael Sims we all know is so angry and apt to censor!

    Growing Up Fast

    By the age of 13, Michael Sims had endured years of sexual abuse at the hands of his father and other realtives-- let's be frank about this!

    Michael was forced to suck his father's erect penis while his "Aunt" Jack would penetrate Michael's anus with his 5" thick throbbing meatpole. All while "Father" O'Reilly (yes, the same publisher Tim O'Reilly of
    Open Source fame) videotaped the gay orgies with a tripod as he sodomozed young Michael's penis with his hot tongue or made Michael eat his hairy Irish asshole out!!!

    Occasionally a ruddy streetman named Eric would join in the festivities and rub his crooked dick on Michael's smooth face and cover the lad in cumshot as he dribbled Jägermeister all over himself, singing the praises
    of "Open Sauce" and being "surprised by cock."

    Rebellion

    Too many years of cum-baths and anal sex had gotten to Michael. In the wee hours of April 19, 1993, at the tender age of 16, Michael Sims secretly boarded a plane to Germany to join the Hitler Youth, hoping to
    escape the the excess sodomy in his life while gaining some discipline in the process. Little did Michael know that he was going from the frying pan and into the flames.

    Faggotry Unbridled: ESR, Teutonic Gas Baron

    Upon entering the "Hitler" Youth, Michael smiled for the first time in his cock-filled life. He was surrounded by boys of all ages, and his cock-lust-- cultivated by years of faggotry at his father's hand-- blossomed
    in the harsh environment of the Hitler Youth. Michael progressed rapidly through the ranks until one day, he was called upon to serve in the elite SS. And then the bottom of Michael's world fell out.

    Michael was greeted not by Adolf Hitler (long dead by now) or any other Nazi. Michael Sims was instead greeted by a homosexual face from the past-- the insidious, ruddy complexion of ESR, the "streetman named
    Eric" that had fornicated him years ago! Yes, ESR was the dastardly Deutsch Gas Baron, and the "Hitler" Youth was nothing but a faggot recruiting front to satiate the twink-lust of ESR!

    The Long Road to Freedom

    For the next six years, Michael Sims was almost constantly involved in some sort of homosexual activity-- either sampling the famous gay bars of München (Munich), training recruits new to Raymond's Youth
    Corps (the facade of Hitler having since been dropped), or satisfying ESR's bottomless hunger for gay faggot cum-lusting sex. Michael was even one of the first Germans to contract HIV, the virus that causes
    AIDS.

    ESR's stake in Michael increased, as did Michael's lust for ESR's thin erect cock, until finally Michael had been made a general in ESR's diabolic Gas Barrony. And it was at this time that Michael was given his
    very own life-long mission.

    Censorware.org

    ESR needed someone that could take the literary world in their faggot hand and turn it to use for ESR and his worlde-wide Petroleum Fifedom: propoganda for Crude Oil and Faggotry! Who better than Michael?

    His first objective was to find a platform with which to gather mainstream literary credibility... Enter Censorware.org, which Michael infiltrated and later destroyed. Read the story of censorship, terrorism and ransom
    here. And do not forget it.

    Slashdot.org

    With Censorware destroyed, Michael's name got out into the Nazi and Faggot literary scenes, leading to the day that he received a phone call from none other than Rob Malda, of Slashdot.org, whose staff were the
    most desperate of homosexuals and whose editors were most Nazi-like in nature. Rob Malda was offering Michael Sims a job.

    Present Day

    Michael had finally found his home and means of completing his homosexual mission. To this day he enjoys gay anal sex all day and all night, and a way to censor the truth-bringers, like me, on a whim...

    Your use of the phrase "begging the question" is confusing. Due to similar uses, that phrase is loosing its meaning as a term for a certain type of reasoning and coming to mean "raising the question" for which we already have a perfectly good phrase. There is no need to diminish a nice piece of terminology and risk ambiguity to say what you meant.

    You forget that Bush only made it into Harvard because of Papa Bush's intimate ties with the school. Hell, his father was a Skull and Bonesman for gods' sakes. Couple this with his father's position as head of the CIA at the time and you're pretty much guaranteed of getting into Harvard.

    And alot of good that business degree did, too. Look up the Bush family financial (mis)dealings online someday. There's more fraud and deceit than just Neal has been party too, I'll tell you. We're talking shell companies, SEC violations and the whole twenty yards.

    Of course, I'd have taken John McCain over either one of them, too. I sincerely hope he tries running again next year and that the party doesn't just automatically give the party nomination to Bush. McCain is a very strong politician who is truly Republican. He cares about our rights and he doesn't care whether we're Satan worshipping Sodomites slowly slipping away to Hell.

    You *are* wrong.

    Go to Cairo. Try to breathe.

    Go to Naples and try to swim. (or better yet Augusta Bay, Sicily. But if you do, don't let a match hit the water - you'll start a fire....)

    Be careful when you walk on Copacaba beach in Rio or you'll cut yourself on all the broken glass.

    Go to the Middle East and try to explain that the alley next to your house is *not* a garbage dump.

    Been there, seen all these with my own two eyes.
