Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Cigarettes may contain pigs blood
CIGARETTES may contain traces of pig's blood, an Australian academic says with a warning that religious groups could find its undisclosed presence "very offensive".
University of Sydney Professor Simon Chapman points to recent Dutch research which identified 185 different industrial uses of a pig - including the use of its haemoglobin in cigarette filters.
Prof Chapman said the research offered an insight into the otherwise secretive world of cigarette manufacture, and it was likely to raise concerns for devout Muslims and Jews.

I (perhaps mistakenly) assumed it was similar to Good Reads, which I keep light tabs on and which I find frustrating, since it seems to operate on the same half-witted rating system as Amazon, where people often don't even read the book and give it a poor rating based on something other than the actual text.
Huh. My frustration is quite the opposite--people who seem to give everything 5 stars. So not helpful.

Elizabeth Teuwen, Gregory Stackel and Genevieve Sapir of the District were inspired by the Korean War Veterans Memorial for their diorama, titled "Freedom is not free: A Peeps tribute to the veterans of the Korean War."
Huh.
