Japanese Mileage Maniacs

WY writes "Bloomberg reports on the quirky world of Japanese hybrid car hackers: 'Toyota Motor Corp. says its Prius gasoline-electric hybrid car gets about 55 miles to the gallon, making it one of the most fuel-efficient cars on the road. That's not good enough for Takashi Toya.' He managed to reach as high as 115 MPG. He is one of about 100 nenpimania, Japanese for mileage maniacs."

it is not distasteful.

they are BLEEDING the dolphins to death because "their meat will taste better due to adrenaline rush".

coupled with the fact that dolphins have an iq roughly equal to goofy rednecks, or any other portion of the human society that is not "intellectually gifted", this becomes a genocide. justifying and approving that would plainly mean one approves/justifies cannibalism, and even with torture too, of the less intellectually gifted portions of human demographic. or, mentally retarded people.
