Frankly, I side with the tiger here. Shouldn't the endangered be allowed to consume the non-endangered?

Clone a goddamn mammoth already. And clone a dodo bird while your at it.

Let's balance this sad story about a man being alienated from his family by objectifying him sexually.

>"a lopsided, Axe-scented version of the world."

The fuck?

What the fuck is up with King county law enforcement? I mean, in any enforcement agency there is going to be a few morons, racists, and corrupt assholes, but it seems like every other day something really messed up happens regarding King County law enforcement.

Anyway, sinkholes opening under museums, wooly mammoths rising from their icy graves, multi-million dollar tunnel machine malfunctions, man-eating tigers running loose, avalanches killing skiers...welcome to Obama's America.

(I know the tiger is in India, but allow me my comedic license)

Also, regarding the wikipedia gender gap: How is it possible that the best example the writer of that article found to demonstrate their point was that Sex and the City has fewer citations than Grand Theft Auto characters?

I mean seriously? There has to be a better way to make the point here. Besides, Sex and the City is one of the most misogynist shows there has ever been on modern television.

And another bites the dust:

Judge throws out Kentucky's ban on same sex marriages from other states:

@1: Good idea. Why don't you go over there and volunteer to be tiger chow?

Does anyone have data on the wrongfully convicted? You know, statistical data?

@2: There have been attempts to clone wooly mammoths using Indian elephant (Elephas maximus) ova and chromosomes pieced together from remains coming out of the ice. None so far have worked, but I'd hazard the guess that we'll see a successfully-cloned adult mammoth within 50 years.
The dodo bird ain't going to happen, since we don't actually have any decently preserved specimens. All we've got are some sub-fossil bones and some musty old stuffed partial specimens, none with flesh preserved well enough to keep a cell intact, much less viable DNA.

Is it illegal for me to trade in Mammoth ivory, or is Obama's Ivory Ban limited to elephant ivory?

@11, no, mammoth ivory is legal. Just be sure you have all the proper paperwork documenting provenance. You're kind of guilty until proven innocent here — you have to be able to prove it's not elephant ivory.

Would we rather have WSDOT and STP give us rushed answers now, so that we can bash them when they miss those milestones? Or, wouldn't it be better ot accept that it's going to take a lot of time and money just to figure it out and that when there finally is a plan it would be better than some SWAG projection now?

The wing nuts all make hay over their belief that because some union official somewhere was corrupt that all unions are corrupt.

Yet you never hear them say that about any other area where corruption and greed are found. Enron? Ignored. Corrupt cops? Must be an anomaly.

@15 All the rot at the top doesn't count.

@13 -- if you can't tell the difference between elephant ivory and mammoth ivory, you should probably stay out of the Interstate ivory trade. Small fish get eaten in these waters, son.

@13: six shooter is correct, I'd say. Sub-fossil ivory is going to differ dramatically from fresh ivory. You might not be able to tell mammoth ivory from ancient elephant ivory, but neither will look much like something that was cut out of a majestic endangered animal's corpse in the past few years.

Ok, now if there was a rash of tigers around, I'd understand wanting to have a gun.
