I saw an article regarding a self-professed satanist who kidnapped a 6-year-old girl in Chicago.

I didn't think anyone called themselves a satanist anymore without a punchline.

The term "box of rocks" comes to mind.

I bet he believes in Intelligent Design too.

-----

Ah...I was reading the article again and noticed "the satanist" goes to a special ed high school in Chicago.

I guess "box of rocks" is accurate.

Here's my favorite Dada poem. It's by Kurt Schwitters. It was published in 1919.

AN ANNA BLUME

EVE BLOSSOM

Oh thou, beloved of my twenty-seven senses, I love thine!
Thou thee thee thine, I thine, thou mine, we?
That (by the way) is beside the point!
Who art thou, uncounted woman, Thou art, art thou?
People say, thou werst,
Let them say, they don't know what they are talking about.
Thou wearest thine hat on thy feet, and wanderest on thine hands,
On thine hands thou wanderest
Hallo, thy red dress, sawn into white folds,
Red I love Eve Blossom, red I love thine,
Thou thee thee thine, I thine, thou mine, we?
That (by the way) belongs to the cold glow!
Eve Blossom, red Eve Blossom what do people say?
PRIZE QUESTION: 1. Eve Blossom is red,
2. Eve Blossom has wheels
3. what colour are the wheels?
Blue is the colour of your yellow hair
Red is the whirl of your green wheels,
Thou simple maiden in everyday dress,
Thou small green animal,
I love thine!
Thou thee thee thine, I thine, thou mine, we?
That (by the way) belongs to the glowing brazier!
Eve Blossom,eve,
E - V - E,
E easy, V victory, E easy,
I trickle your name.
Your name drops like soft tallow.
Do you know it, Eve?
Do you already know it?
One can also read you from the back
And you, you most glorious of all,
You are from the back as from the front,
E-V-E.
Easy victory.
Tallow trickles to stroke over my back
Eve Blossom,
Thou drippy animal,
I
Love
Thine!
I love you!!!!

Ship Blasted Pirates With Sonic Weapon

This is hellacool. The cruise ship attacked by Somali pirates used a "sonic weapon" to help ward them off. Basically the weapon directs a tight-beamed, very loud, smoke alarm-type tone at its target.

The article says smoke alarms are at 80 db and this weapon is at 150 db.

Here's a link to the Noise Center for comparison. This table shows 150 db is as loud as a jet engine taking off.

FYI. The loudest rock concert ever was at 126 db by the Who (see article). Note: 3 minutes 45 seconds of 130 db noise can result in permanent hearing loss.

Anyhow...after reading the article, I'm getting a new car horn...

So the EPA is citing a Chicago chocolate factory for 'opacity' (how dark the
plume from their smokestack is). The citation stems from multiple
complaints regarding the smell of chocolate from the plant.

However, the EPA isn't citing any of the local coal burning power plants
that are also in violation for 'opacity'.

This is the kind of thing that gets me pissed off.
