Bark Beetles Hate Rush Limbaugh and Heavy Metal
Aryabhata writes "According to scientists, climate change and human activity have allowed bark beetle populations to soar. They decided to fight the beetles by using the 'nastiest, most offensive sounds' that they could think of. These sounds included recordings of Guns & Roses, Queen, Rush Limbaugh and manipulated versions of the insects' own sounds. The research project titled 'Beetle Mania' has concluded that acoustic stress can disrupt their feeding and even cause the beetles to kill each other."
to blow his cigar smoke into the beetle's bore holes?
tobacco basically invented nicotine to kill insects, so rush, with his volumes of hot air, seems like a perfect delivery vehicle
as a bonus, we hasten limbaugh's death via lung cancer
intellectual property law is philosophically incoherent. it is your moral duty to ignore it or sabotage it
If I had to listen to Rush forcibly all day - I'd probably want to off myself - who knows - maybe it works with insects too?
Hah. You win the award for the indiscriminate offending of people on both sides of the aisle in one slashdot story -- one post modded troll for making fun of Democrats, one post modded troll for making fun of Republicans.
Care to go for the trifecta and offend independents?
Wat's the point? Independents are too dumb to understand that they are being offended.
- None can love freedom heartily, but good men; the rest love not freedom, but license. -- John Milton
The difference is liberty. And I choose liberty.
Yeah. Last I heard, this is America! If you lived in Communist China, you wouldn't have the freedom to criticize like you're doing now! If it wasn't for our troops fighting for the freedoms you cherish, you'd be speaking German right now!
(Yep -- I can spout vacuous jingoistic aphorisms as well!)
Or was it better to follow the advice of a narrow-minded, bigoted, meritless, and anti-human demagogue simply because he was a fellow Socialist?
Let me guess: he's also not being non-partisan enough. ;)
Kneel Before Christ!
Dude, his voice is so annoying his own ears couldn't take it anymore and shut down.
I'm kidding, of course. His hearing loss was actually the result of him being an unapologetic oxycontin addict.
Hey, stop that. It's not nice to make fun of the mentally disabled. It is NOT his fault that he's a greasy pig-eyed ogre who flunked out of college, and I don't appreciate the implications of your post. And bringing up that he hypocritically abused dangerous amounts of prescription pain killers acquired from an underground drug ring after routinely making fun of drug addicts on his show? That's just low.
Leave him alone.
Kneel Before Christ!
Mods are FUCKING STUPID as well as IGNORANT OF POP CULTURE.
THAT IS ALL.
Someone re-moderate BobNET's comment to it's proper place.
Still waiting on Serviscope_minor to wake up to fucking reality and realize that Jessica Price isn't going to fuck him.
Obstructionists sounds like a compliment, anything to stop Congress from doing anything is good in my book (couldn't care less which party has the majority either). Like these massive snowfalls, nothing has made me happier.
Reviewing just the first hour of video games.
The powerful people conspiring to take away the rights of Republicans?
* Labor Unions
* Special interest groups who want funding by the federal government, such as ACORN, the group that helps pimps get houses and import underage prostitutes as well as falsify voter registration forms and violate other election laws.
* Movie stars
* Famous Rappers
* Famous Musicians
* Most of Hollywood for that matter. You know, people who lead the trends and most of the American idiot class around by the nose. Of course, those people have feet of clay. After all, how many said they would leave the country if Bush won election and re-election?
You also seem to forget that:
* Illegal aliens don't belong in the country and have no say in the government. People like you use the terms "illegal immigrant" or "undocumented immigrant" so you can say about people against illegal aliens "They are against immigration" thus muddying the waters and painting them with false colors.
* Homosexuals are on average, much more successful and richer than heterosexuals
* There are atheist Republicans
* There are black Republicans ("African American" is a term that should only apply to immigrants and their children.)
* There are homosexual Republicans
* College professors get to preach their doctrine to a captive audience and have been known to punish students who do not slavishly follow the professors' political agenda. I have seen it happen and have read about it in the newspaper and on news sites.
How about if I paint Democrats as crime-loving, drug-abusing apologist for brain-washers, drug-dealers, child-molesters, corrupt unions, organized crime, and illegal aliens who drive down the wages of working Americans by taking jobs under the table that pay less than minimum wage?
There is no "-1 offended" or "-1 you don't agree with me" mod options for a reason.
Rei, your delusional if you think America wants to move further to the Left. I sware, you guys crack me up!
Life is not for the lazy.
