Don't worry baby, I'm on the pill . . .

Now I can't wait to say that . . . and it looks like it might not be that far off. Turns out that according to this article modern science being the wonderful thing it is has developed a male contraceptive pill that has no side effects (who knew that was possible?) and temporarily lowers or inhibits sperm production so as to make the taker effectively infertile.

I don't like needles but I think that one shot that would last a year or something similar would be better than pills everyday, but hey ain't science grand?

And now from birth control to a group that thinks it's a sin, it's time for some whacky Catholic Church facts. Did you know that on October 28, 1922 in return for his signing the Lateran Treaty, which restored Papal sovereignty over the Vatican, the Catholic Church helped fascist dictator Benito Mussolini seize power in Italy by having Pope Pius XI declare "Mussolini is a man sent by divine providence."

And to go a little forward in the way back machine Mr. Peabodies on October 28, 1965 Pope Paul VI issues Nostra Aetate in which he absolves the Jews of killing Jesus, thus reversing 760 years of official Vatican policy. Innocent III had declared in 1205 that ". . . the Jews, by their own guilt, are consigned to perpetual servitude because they crucified the Lord."

Whodda thunk it eh?

Oh the Humanity, mate! Turns out that the US government has banned Vegemite. I can't blame them for that, I tried it as well and it's truly horrible stuff. I think it's another one of the jokes that Aussies play on foreigners. But it truly is a part of the Aussie culture . . . and if anyone is interested in trying it I still have single serving sized packets here at the house.

I'm not sure what you'll take away from this article but it sounds like they're saying I've got a reason piss everywhere and not wear deodorant anymore. Although I might not want to try in Calgary because soon pissing in public in Cowtown will cost $300.

Onto crimes other than public urination as those of you how like find music, movies or software on the interwebs you no doubt know that the Torrent sites are good source (Torrent Spy for example) for material. Well it turns out that the 23 year old Administrator from Elitetorrents has been sent to jail for five months, followed by five months of home detention, and a $3000 fine for the work he put in the private BitTorrent tracker Elitetorrents.

Onto some cheerier news, the cure for cancer may be in your jeans. Yep you read that right.

And finally I leave with this photo showing just what kind of duck Donald is. Still doesn't explain the no pants thing.
