Laugh? I almost burst something.

A friend recently forwarded a chain letter to me in a state of high distress. 'Something must be done to stamp out this awful practice!'

I am slightly astonished that someone could be so fundamentally gullible as to believe that bonsai kittens are real.

In the meantime...

Team Spike Trains

So it's taken me four months, but finally, here are the pictures of the Team Spike Junk Modelling Day we had back in November. Please note that Gordy had some 'help' from Isabel with his masterpiece. Isabel was also responsible for painting all three trains. Place your votes for Best Spike Train in the comments please!

First up, Phil:



Secondly, Gordybabes and Izzy:

....as for her wanting marry a woman what can I say? We adopted the one day intensive training approach during her Christmas visit, this included compulsory listening of Dusty Springfield's greatest hits, back to back episodes of Ellen, and Tipping the Velvet as a bedtime story (we also tried swapping her Disney princess magazine for a copy of 'Diva' but she wouldn't have it.)

Speak to you soon.

Insane Fighting Dog Update

Just to tag a little onto what Tatutoro posted...

Well, now, this is a man's hobby. This guy likes to do nothing more than hunt bears in West Russia with only a bow and arrow and a bunch of big dogs called filas.

Apparently, your average fila mastiff is well up for this, coming as it does from a heritage of 400 years of specialist breeding in Brazil. In fact, the fila is known as "the national dog of Brazil" where it is used to hunt jaguars and wild boar. Now that is cool, and by cool, I mean totally sweet.

Think about it. It's a known fact that when you live in Birmingham, you're never more than 3,500 miles from the nearest jaguar. A jaguar can be into your garden, eat your daughter and be out again before you've finished your cup of tea.

But not if you have a 215lb Brazilian personal protection dog living in your shed!

This site also contains an informative but distressing article roughly entitled 'Tosas vs Pit Bulls: Who kicks the most ass?' Apparently, in one study, after fighting it out, Tosas win 90% of the time, particularly if they come from 'the finest fighting bloodlines in East Japan'.

And if you think this is fucked up, that french woman who had the face transplant had her face bitten off by a labrador! A labrador for pity's sake. Don't risk your family's future, invest today in a dog the size of a small pony.

Where are all the posts?

While we're waiting, here's your February Ninja News Update.

Remember, a ninja may totally uppercut some kid just because the kid opened a window.

Ninja appear to have robbed a 7-Eleven.

And the same ninja (or maybe different ones) have upgraded to knocking over a bank.

That's the Ninja News and you're up to date. Flip out and kill people.
