Just googled it :lol:

With how cheap you can get some drones which are controllable from your phone will be interesting to see what happens if they become common place.

Sometime finally uncovers why Starbucks has crap coffee and failed massively in Australia..


Starbucks Flavors Lattes With Sodomite Semen, Hate Pastor Says




"What Starbucks was doing is that they were taking specimens of male semen and they were putting it in the blends of their latte. Now this is the absolute truth... It was a big article about an investigation into Starbucks using male semen and putting it into the blends of coffee that they sell.
"I mean, can you imagine? And I believe that they were doing that. You know, Coca-Cola got started 100 years ago by using cocaine -- they were actually using cocaine! -- and they stayed off the federal government... because during the time they were using it there was no FDA...
"But the deal is... that Starbucks has been... legally accused of using male semen in their latte... you know, my suspicion is that they're getting their semen from sodomites. That's what my suspicion is. And somebody has discovered that semen, like cord blood... has millions and millions of little zygotes in it, and it flavors up the coffee, and it makes you think you're having a good time drinking that cup of latte with the semen in it."
-- Rev. Dr. James Manning, pastor of Harlem's ATLAH World Missionary Church, in another unhinged rant on his show, The Manning Report. This latest screed comes just days after Manning claimed that "upscale sodomites" have turned Starbucks into "Ground Zero" for exchanging bodily fluids and spreading Ebola. Manning's "absolute truth" about Starbucks lattes is based entirely on a satirical online article.

Japan man arrested for dumping a quarter-ton of porn in park

A pensioner who dumped almost a quarter of a ton of pornography in a Japanese park is unlikely to be charged, police said Tuesday, because the stash belonged to an ill friend.

Hideaki Adachi was spotted unloading 17 sacks of films and magazines, which included around 500 VHS video tapes, from the back of a truck at a small park in the western Japanese city of Osaka.

Adachi, 70, was arrested on suspicion of illegally dumping the 200 kilograms (440 pounds) of porn, but was released the next day after telling police he had found the trove in a storehouse belonging to a bedridden friend, police told AFP.

Seriously, ****? Surely it's some kind of trap!

He didn't mistake her for shoe and was trying to put her on?

TR is now a resident of this fine land.

And Akita is the Tasmania of Japan. You expect people to be a little unhinged up that way.

Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

Talk about being left out of the team for pulling "hamstrings" for weeks. Hamstrings indeed.

Nice sweep under the rug Cricket Australia.
