Beware of ninjas fighting in public

Greetings.

Jewish date:  24 ’Av 5770 (Parashath Re’eh).

Today’s quasi-holidays:  Coast Guard Day, Emancipation Day/August Festival (British Virgin Islands).

Worthy cause of the day:  “Tell Mott's: get the scabs out of your applesauce!”.

Today’s news and commentary:

• “Four Deformations of the Apocalypse”:  I knew Republicans were bad for the economy.  Here is why.  In the meantime, I am working to get out of the country.
• “Industry-sponsored drug trials more likely to report positive results”:  This is completely unsurprising to me.
• “Prankster jailbreaks Apple Store display iPhone”:  If one is going to do something wrong, one might as well do something daring.

There may be a ninja in this image from Wikipedia, but you would never know it

Today’s weird thing is “34 Things I Learned From Video Games”.  This list gives valuable information for anyone trying to survive on the mean streets such as:

• “You never run out of ammunition, just grenades.”
• “Ninjas are common, and fight in public frequently.”
• “Repulsive, ugly, cannabalistic, evil beings have just as much right to be loved as heroic fighters.”

Enjoy, share the weirdness, and beware of ninjas.
