Bob Geldof, Rock Homo

I'm glad that someone in the world agrees with me on this one (and in Africa, no less):

"Many of the protesters were draped in dry banana leaves, the symbol of the third term for the Museveni campaign. They held placards which read: 'Geldof sober up and shut up', 'No to drug addicts and Rock Homos'."

Gamara lives

The lone reptilian survivor of a pet-store fire was found emblazoned with an image of Satan himself. The picture they have on CNN looks more like the goat's head from the inside of a pentangle to me but perhaps I'm just not looking at it correctly.

Why do people have turtles as pets? Anyone reading this have a reptile, or know someone who does? I can't emphathize -- are people drawn to them by a sort of scientific fascination, or because they think they're cute, or because they're an earthly conduit for Satan himself?

I hope nobody kills the little guy in some misguided effort to ensure the restoration of Terry Schiavo's feeding tube by eliminating what they think is Satan's Floridian form on Earth.
