"“Though broadly successful across several different metrics, there were a few unforeseen, but relatively minor, complications in our initial trials that we are currently working to address,” said lead researcher Dr. Leonard Rothman, spittle dribbling down his pudgy cheek as he struggled to peek his little, bald head above the podium. “We have achieved tremendous results over the course of our tests, and although we’ve run into a few hitches along the way, we are confident that this will be a viable treatment.” Dr. Rothman added that his team very much looked forward to completing their work when their bodies were once again developed enough to operate lab equipment."

YouTube kills again:

An 8-year-old Florida girl has reportedly died months after attempting to replicate an internet challenge video.

According to WKMG-TV, the girl, identified as Ki’ari Pope, of Boynton Beach, drank boiling hot water through a straw on a dare in March. On Saturday night, she was rushed to a hospital after complaining she couldn’t breathe. Ki’ari was unresponsive on arrival and pronounced dead just after midnight.

Ki’ari’s aunt, Diane Johnson, told WPEC News the little girl’s cousins had dared her to drink the boiling water.

Ki’ari and her cousins had reportedly been watching a “hot water challenge” YouTube video, in which someone appeared to drink boiling water with a straw.

JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesia has deployed armed police and soldiers to help villagers on the island of Java fight back against marauding monkeys that have been terrorizing their area, stealing food and even attacking vulnerable elderly residents and a child.

The long-tailed macaques have been growing increasingly bold in their interactions with humans in the Boyolali district of Central Java, north of the city of Solo.

“The reason why they are raiding people’s houses or gardens is because they need food,” said Robithotul Huda of International Animal Rescue Indonesia. “Their natural habitat, teak or pine forests, have changed into commercial forest.”

"Local Dipshit Planning On Fighting Trump Administration Through Art"
[Onion Full Article; August 4th, 2017]
http://www...hting-trump-administrati-56576
"The dumbfuck, who said he has recently been inspired to take on more ambitious projects that will “reveal this administration’s treachery for all the world to see,” noted that he was particularly excited about an upcoming “Resistance Cabaret” that he is arranging with several of his equally stupid friends. According to the colossal dope, the evening of music, dance, and short theatrical pieces will conclude with the performers duct-taping their mouths shut and wearing the names of GOP lawmakers on signs around their necks to send a “powerful message” to Republicans complicit in Trump’s agenda.

The audience for the event, scheduled to take place in the back room of a local coffee shop next Tuesday from 4 to 6 p.m., is expected to include some of the most prominent idiots in the community."

juror no. 1: I think he’s a greedy little man.
the court: Jurors are obligated to decide the case based only on the evidence. Do you agree?
