Sloth Bear eats Monkey

Tell me someone sees the humor/irony in this. Here.

I say that the macaque probably deserved it. They are such annoying little Ebola infested feces hurlers. I mean, think about it. This little monkey couldn't out maneuver, out think a Sloth Bear? Let's see, ah yes here it is:

sloth ( P ) Pronunciation Key (slĂ´th, slth, slth)
n.
Aversion to work or exertion; laziness; indolence.

A sloth bear, not black bear, not Kodiak bear, certainly not grizzly bear, but sloth bear. Sounds like the white trash 3rd cousin of the care bears. Sloth Bear, A lazy, welfare abusing, entitlement lifestyle living quadruped. These bears make Yogi bear look like a go-getter. Yet these bears were able to overtake and consume for their enjoyment a monkey. Supposedly one notch down on the so-called evolutionary ladder. Sounds like this monkey needed more than an opposable thumb. You can teach some monkeys sign language, and as Matthew Broderick showed us they can even fly nuclear bombers after being exposed to radiation and successfully complete their mission. But this little guy gets eaten by sloth bears. Funny, ironic yet strangely poetic and just.

C'mon kiddies, it's a bear eat monkey world out there and the sooner you realize it, the better off you are. So whether it is on your 50" Plasma hi-def TV watching Wild Kingdom on the discovery channel or that rare trip to the zoo where the bear catches the monkey, pay attention. You are watching real life in action, get used to it, study it, and learn from it. And most importantly apply the lessons from it.

Survival of the fittest at work. You, monkey! Out of the gene pool!

Now you Know. And Knowing is half the battle...GI JOE!!!

Absolute Truth

Humor me for just a few minutes. Let's assume that their is absolute truth in our world. A distinct line between right and wrong, good and evil, black and white. No gray areas. In other words, it's OK to say, hey that is wrong, because we know it is. Take this story for example. Now remember that we are in the world of absolute truth and that it is OK for this university to kick this guy out, because he has violated this truth. There would be no outrage, no threatened legislative action, and no comments about how "unchristian like" this act is. Sounds rather crisp and clean and succinct. Ladies and gentlemen this absolute truth is out there and it is available to all who seek. However, judging by reaction and comments to this story, we are far away from everyone understanding this concept of absolute truth. This thought leads me to several more post topics, but those will have to wait for another time.

Too busy to make sense

Not that I get thoughts on this blog at any regular interval, but here are a few random ones.

* I don't like amnesty. I see why the President is proposing it, but I still don't like it. Illegal immigrants are a drain on our system and they should be gone. Legal immigrants are fine; the process is there for a reason.

* Ecclesiastes 10:2 " A wise man's heart inclines him to the right, but a fool's heart to the left." ESV Well, I guess that answers that question. Now I just need to find that red vs blue reference...

* Time change is coming up. I think it is outdated and should probably be replaced. Not to mention loosing an hour of sleep. Grr.

Only 88%...

I don';t know why, but it seems that all I can post lately are these quiz results. This one in interesting. I figure the only reason that it wasn't 100% was that there is some overlap in some of the questions. And probably a lack of understanding on the part of the authors writing the quiz. Not discounting their efforts, but the dichotomy of it all is rather amazing. Christ said (paraphrase) that unless you have the faith of a child, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. So simple, yet the wealth of information contained in the scriptures is amazing in its breadth and depth. I could go off on an apologetic, evangelistic episode, but not this time. Boils down to the number problem (IMHO) is that people over analyze the simplicity of what it takes for salvation. There is this underlying thought that it can't be that simple. But yet at the same time there are millions? of people that think, "Oh, as long as I am good enough, I'll get to heaven." I just don't get it.


You scored as Christianity. Your views are most similar to those of Christianity. Do more research on Christianity and possibly consider being baptized and accepting Jesus, if you aren't already Christian.

Christianity is the second of the Abrahamic faiths; it follows Judaism and is followed by Islam. It differs in its belief of Jesus, as not a prophet nor historical figure, but as God in human form. The Holy Trinity is the concept that God takes three forms: the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Ghost (sometimes called Holy Spirit). Jesus taught the idea of instead of seeking revenge, one should love his or her neighbors and enemies. Christians believe that Jesus died on the cross to save humankind and forgive people's sins.

I AM A DEFENDERSHIP


What Video Game Character Are You? I am a Defender-ship.I am a Defender-ship.


I am fiercely protective of my friends and loved ones, and unforgiving of any who would hurt them. Speed and foresight are my strengths, at the cost of a little clumsiness. I'm most comfortable with a few friends, but sometimes particularly enjoy spending time in larger groups. What Video Game Character Are You?
