From the “random deity appearances in foodstuffs” files we have a tuna in Kenya. And I understand that Jesus appeared in a taco in St. Louis. Sigh. If it helps to keep people from killing each other in any way shape or form. I fully support the fish position. There was no comment readily available [...]

From the “freedoms? we don’t need no stinkin freedoms” files we find this posting over on Boing Boing. In what can only be described as fitting when you remember that Bush is in office.
