Japanese Scientists Create Edible Doo Doo Steaks

When I think science, I have inspiring thoughts of diseases being cured. Not people making burgers out of poo. However, Japanese scientists have done just that. They've synthesized excrement, making steak out of doo doo. I'm at a loss for words. A "turd burger." Really, now. I've heard of pooh sticks, not poo steaks.

I'm all for recycling, but not like this. I think I'll pass on this one. I would also hate to be on the marketing team trying to come up with the ad plans for it. And to think people are complaining about Ronald McDonald, when this was looming.

Most people have had a few meals in their lifetime and left the table figuratively thinking it tasted like doo-doo. But for the first time, they would not be exaggerating. I don't know how anyone could swallow such a thing, when in the back of their mind, they knew where it came from (the back of their butt). What's for dessert? toilet paper?

Side Bar: On a somewhat related note, did you know it was discovered, Al Qaeda members found out if you eat your poop, you'll die (yes, geniuses, I know). To avoid torture, this became an option for them when Dick Cheney was Vice President and George W. Bush was in charge.

Movie Review: Fair Game

Title: Fair Game

Year Of Release: 2010

Review Date: April 30, 2011

Rating: PG-13

Running time: 108 minutes

Box Office Gross: $24,188,922

Site Rating: 2 out of 10 stars

"Fair Game" is the biopic of CIA spy, Valerie Plame and her husband, U.S. Ambassador, Joseph C. Wilson. It is based on Plame's book "Fair Game: My Life as a Spy, My Betrayal by the White House." And betrayed she was, as the corrupt Bush Administration vengefully outed her as a spy, endangering her life, because they were upset at Wilson's report stating there are no nuclear weapons in Iraq.

The movie explores the time frame leading up to former U.S. President George W. Bush’s illegal invasion of Iraq, which was based on the deceitful premise that dictator Saddam Hussein, had obtained and was about to use Weapons of Mass Destruction against the world. Prior to the war, Wilson was sent on a mission to ascertain the truth and when he debunked said claims, the Bush Administration, who only invaded Iraq to steal oil, grew enraged.

Due to lack of self-control and being power obsessed, the Bush Administration vengefully exposed Plame as a spy, which could have gotten her killed by terrorists. Those were bad times for America, because people watched disheartened as the White House broke the law, then used a presidential pardon to get away with it.

A judge also unjustly dismissed Plame's lawsuit against Bush & co, which was the wrong thing to do under the circumstances. However, things did not pan out for Bush , as his presidency devolved into abject failure and disgrace. Bush and Cheney set in motion events that would bankrupt America and destroy the government's name in the world.

The film "Fair Game" had good special efx and sets, but the acting was not as strong as it could have been. Had the film been done in a different way, more people would have filled theaters to view it, as it is a good story worth telling.
