As If The World Wasn't Stupid Enough...

Dig this. Apparently, 36 dolphins that had been owned and trained by the U.S. Navy may be missing in the Gulf of Mexico in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Even better, these particular dolphins might be carrying "toxic dart" guns, say experts who've studied the navy's dolphin training exercise. Apparently, these particular members of the Order Cetacea have been trained to shoot terrorists and pinpoint underwater spies, and experts are concerned they might attack surfers or divers by mistake. I'm not making this up.

And it isn't even the dumbest thing I've read in the past hour.

Apparently, after director Susan Wood of the FDA's Office Of Women's Health resigned last month in protest of the agency's fence-straddling on whether to make emergency contraception more easily available, the FDA had a stroke of genius. They announced that 20-year FDA vet Theresa Toigo would be acting director. Now, they did this three days after announcing that a dude named Norris Anderson would be the acting director, even though he spent most of his career working in animal husbandry. This, of course, hacked some folks off and the FDA is apparently pretending it never happened.

Hell, I think I'm going back to bed.
