Pigs, Ducks, Black Swans, Chickens And Now Fish: The Shanghai Animal Apocalypse Accelerates
Shanghai just can't catch a break - first it was floating dead pigs, then ducks, then black swans, then mass chicken exterminations, and now fish. From the Telegraph: " Just weeks after over 16,000 putrefying pigs were pulled from Shanghai's Huangpu river, more than 250kg of dead carp had to be retrieved from a river in the city's Songjiang district. Mystery still surrounds the cause of death, but numerous explanations have surfaced in the Chinese media since residents first complained about the foul-smelling fish last Monday. Theories reportedly include climate change, electrocution, an explosion or even a drug overdose. The Shanghai Daily quoted a local government official who "speculated" the fish could have been "drugged." So, in China things are so good, even the fish are ODing on sleeping pills? Hardly, but the fact that this is even floated "out there" just shows how miserably The Onion has missed its IPO window.
More:
China has become notorious for its polluted rivers, largely as a result of decades of unbridled economic growth. Last year a senior official conceded 20 percent of the country's rivers had become "too toxic for human contact".
Shanghai authorities have so far denied the "fish kill" was caused by water pollution, citing the absence of chemical plants near the river.
Whatever the cause, authorities insist there is no risk to public health or drinking water sources.
"The river's quality hasn't been affected by the dead fish so far. It remains the same level as usual," an official named as Mr Zhang told the China Daily. He did not explain what the usual level was.
Nor was there a connection between the dead carp and the thousands of rotting pig carcasses pulled from Shanghai's Huangpu last month, local environmental official Liu Fengqiang said.
Of course not - that was a completely separate instance of mass drug-facilitated suicide.
One river-dweller told the China Daily he had stopped using tap water in the wake of the two scandals. "I need to trust my sources of water. I'm still haunted by the dead pigs," Shi Hua said.
Meanwhile, samples of the dead fish have been sent for testing and the fish themselves have been laid to rest.
"All the dead fish plucked out of the water were buried safely," the Shanghai Daily reported.
... And have already been sold by local restaurants as KFC's latest mystery meat?

Damn, if a carp can't survive...there is some seriously toxic shit in that water.
Hypothesis: As has happened in the past, the already-anoxic oceans have grown considerably more anoxic because of changes in the Gulf current that distributed heat around Florida, up the east coast and then to the east. As a result, as has happened before, the anoxic 'dead zones' are pluming clouds of deadly invisible hydrogen sulfide gas into the atmosphere. Consequently, the ozone layer is being reacted away (H2S + O3 --> H2O + SO2), exposing the Earth to rising and probably ultimately lethal levels of UV radiation and causing a major increase in mutations and genetic chimeras all around the world.
This process is also allowing in more heat, which is now accumulating in the Gulf, along the east coast, and in other areas of the world's oceans, lakes, and seas, and beginning to dissociate the methane hydrate deposits. (Confirmed.) Because the H2S eats away the hydroxyl radicals as well as ozone, and because the hydroxyl radicals are what would NORMALLY mitigate methane in the atmosphere, the resulting methane plumes will last considerably longer, enhancing the oceanic heating, causing more H2S plumes, making the methane last longer...and so on.
The rising H2S levels in the atmosphere are killing off aerobic (oxygen-using) life on Earth. This began some time ago, with bees and small lizards, and has worked its way up the size ladder as the atmospheric plumes have increased in concentration, and this process has escalated radically since the Gulf circulation significantly changed in 2010. Now the H2S is wafting down into low-lying areas and killing people there in increasing numbers, and it is making its way into homes now too and killing multi-person households, as well as fish, birds, trees and other oxygen-using life around the world.
Because hydrogen sulfide and methane are both highly flammable gases, their interaction with our flammable fuels infrastructure (cars, planes, jet skis, boats, homes, hotels, businesses, chemical plants, ammo depots, etc) is problematic and is leading to increases in fires and explosions, everywhere generally, but more on and near the coasts. Also, hydrogen sulfide is extremely fast-acting (it is deemed a 'knockdown agent' for this reason) and people driving any type of vehicle are likely to be affected, either rendered unconscious or dead, and this will cause an increase in major vehicular accidents of all kinds which has already begun.
Hydrogen sulfide is a heavier than-air-gas and will be accumulating in low-lying places: the oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, ravines, ditches, quays, canyons, valleys, gorges, streams, etc. Water is also heavier-than-air, so wherever you find water you are likely to find H2S accumulating. Methane is slightly more buoyant than (normal) air so it will mix and be generally everywhere, but will tend to fill up our atmosphere from the top down.
This whole story smells a little fishy to me!
What, no rabbit?
Want a cleaner, better life?
Get out of the city and grow your own food.
In a few years this will be a 'World Press Photo' winner.
Thank you for not posting pictures of your delicious-looking home-grown bounty at 11:30. 9:45 is OK. Just please don't do it at 11:30 any more. It makes my lunch look..... not so great by comparison.
I'll gladly ship you some rabbit terrine, Fed-Ex. It will still be very good for a picnic lunch in the park tomorrow. You want cheeses, too?
Maybe pick up a bottle of Chateau de Saint Martin Cru Classe Eternelle Favorite and take the afternoon off? Don't forget the gerkins.
Vote Epicurean, 2016!
We cannot do any worse.
Well, the weather is certainly good enough for a picnic (finally!). If you're offering, I'm accepting!
If you are bold enough to post an address, then I am happy to accomodate you.
I will be available for pm on ZH_Chat for 15 min.

"Dine on the river. All you can eat and shit for only $7.99 - while supplies last."
I trap my meat. Organic, free range, steroid free, antibiotic free. Mother nature feeds them and weeds out the sick. I collect the rest.
http://www.meattrapper.com
I caught these four yesterday morning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymAe-H3T3qQ
Awesome! Nutria, the other white meat.
If you don't think that there is made-man steroids in the environment, especially in certain areas of the world, you are a fool. Bring some of the soil/water in for testing just to be sure. Trapping in rural suburbia is great, but understand those beavers may be downstream from several water treatment or or chemical output facilities. Know what the watershed is like and what lies above. Very very important. No fucking way I'd eat a beaver caught within 200 miles of any coastline. especially if there was more than one urban (more than 100,000 people) center in between.
Carp grows best in sewage. I have a hundred year old book
where they explain how to drain your pond, put in all the manure you can and fill it up again and it will work next best (!) to the village pond where ALL the sewage passes through. Hard to kill a carp with shit, but a few drops of
oil/diesel will do the trick in a pond.
Sure, my point was simply that, unless you know exactly what is in the food source and water that the fish are living in, you don't have a clue as to what can be found in their fat/proteins. I have known a souple people with "carp ponds".
Carp Souple People, its whatz for dinner, Bitchez !!!
You actually eat beaver? What does it taste like?
Well RaftermanFMJ it depends. If they are between 19-30 yrs old, white or Hispanic, between 110-135lbs, usually very very good. There are some deviations that taste very good but I wouldn't venture too far. Make sure it's the right time of the month and the beaver hasn't spent too much time with other nearby damns.
I've been eating it for years. It's a very lean red meat much like bison or buffalo. I grind it into burger or sometimes make a stew. Here's a brief write up of how I do it. http://meattrapper.com/2013/02/02/beaver-from-the-snare-to-the-grill/.
I'd rather take my chances on eating an animal that I catch, skin, and butcher myself than trusting my food supply to a corporation that is concerned with profits over quailty. I know the environments that I trap in, I know what they are eating and I know what shape every animal is in because I butcher it myself.
I can take a dollars worth of aircraft cable and catch a weeks supply of meat for my family. The return on materials is pretty good. Interestingly enough, I recently gave a seminar to a local prepper group from a local church. People are hurting with the high cost of food, and they are starting to wake up - at least around here.
I don't know how 300 million people will be able to get out of the city and grow their own food. After experiencing one of the worst droughts in recent history here in the midwest, and the growing concern about dwindling water supplies, even if we were able to get a little land outside of the city we may not be able to grow anough of anything to support ourselves. Hopefully rainfall will be in the normal range this year. There seems to be a lot of emphasis on money, and not so much on the environment. You can't eat, drink, or breath money, and we tend to forget that.
Correct. In addition to rain, there are a lot more nutrients that the plants need. Specifically, many different elements (N, S, P, Mg, Fe, C, Se, Ni, etc.), in the correct oxidation state. The last bit is the tricky part, as getting an element into the right oxidation state requires energy and time regardless of whether or not you do it naturally (composting) or via Dupont and store-bought fertillizer.
I think it's time to light that phucking river on fire and have one helluva Szechuan barbeque.
Hoping that the Extremely Wealthy Thieves will have to saute their $100 bills and assorted Treasuries in a pan coated with water that once held swine, carp, and swans for their dinner. Then let them choke down the meal and later watch with horror at the many paper cuts as the meal exits from the other end.

Don't put it past them. After all, they built a KFC on the former site of Unit 731, the WW2 complex where the Japanese carried out human experimentation involving chemical and biological weaponry.

china is toxic.
I think this quote by respected Chinese citizenism environmental authority says it all:
So apparently, the "usual" water quality here is water befouled by thousands of dead fish (among any number of other decomposing vertebrates).
Ah, Chinese citizenism environmental contamination insanitation!
Blobbing-up filth is the mattering thing, quite literally the crustiest bit of it.
Soooo, I should go long Mars furtures?
Fuck me, i'm buying tinfoil.......
IMHO this theory cannot apply to rivers: the gases (H2S, CH4, CO2, whatever they are) need to reach a very high concentration (in comparison to average atmosphere composition) for the dose to be lethal. I don't know any river deep enough and calm enough so that could happen.
The fact that a gas is "heavier than air" isn't sufficient to imply that it will accumulate in low-lying places. Meteorological conditions are a bitch (ascending/descending currents)!
But I concede lakes and oceans do in some cases contain deadly gaz reservoirs.
At least in my trading, I have found that the more complicated my argument becomes, the more likely I am to lose money. CPL's argument is complicated, alarmist, and bizarre.
"Now the H2S is wafting down into low-lying areas and killing people there in increasing numbers, and it is making its way into homes now too and killing multi-person households"
"Consequently, the ozone layer is being reacted away (H2S + O3 --> H2O + SO2), exposing the Earth to rising and probably ultimately lethal levels of UV radiation and causing a major increase in mutations and genetic chimeras all around the world."
"Because hydrogen sulfide and methane are both highly flammable gases, their interaction with our flammable fuels infrastructure (cars, planes, jet skis, boats, homes, hotels, businesses, chemical plants, ammo depots, etc) is problematic and is leading to increases in fires and explosions, everywhere generally, but more on and near the coasts."
"This process is also allowing in more heat, which is now accumulating in the Gulf, along the east coast,..."
LOL, I bet the people on the East Coast would disagree with that last one. I return to my original argument:
You can't think straight because you know too much. Stop reading and get your head on straight. People are not passing out from knock down gasses, my mower is not going to suddenly burst into flames and cause me to spill my beer, and H2S is not going to sneak into my bedroom and strangle me in my sleep. What you are doing is scaring yourself witless and giving political capital to the very same people making money off of pollution in the first place. If they have thier way, they will use your tax money to gin this up and do more of the same.
Well he did say "theory". And I would not discount the possibility.
http://geology.gsapubs.org/content/33/5/397.full.pdf
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_sulfide which states: "Hydrogen sulfide has been implicated in several mass extinctions that have occurred in the Earth's past. In particular, a buildup of hydrogen sulfide in the atmosphere may have caused the Permian-Triassic extinction event 252 million years ago."
When you think about the Siberian permafrost turning to rotting swamps, all the fracking going on globally (natural gas can contain up to 90% H2S), growing "dead zones" in oceans, river and lakes, it is not hard to imagine this outcome over time.

Sounds to me like we need a hydrogen sulfide tax.
Hey CPL - Don't fart!
The idiots on the left blaming global warming. Their marxist/kleptocrat pals the Chinese destroy everything they tough. The Chinese are like the Detroit-types of Asia.
This is what happened when the "climate change" crowd took over the environmental movement. It stopped being a movement about the environment where they heavily focused on pollution (a worthy cause) and became this esoteric hot/cold/wet/dry/always the fault of the Right and Democracy and Capitalism 'climate change'.
Notice you hear very little about pollution any more. The entire movement is about telling you what new taxes you need to pay and what you can and cannot do in order to reduce 'emissions'. And then we see ClimateGate, where these guys got stone cold busted admitting they were ginning up numbers, lying about the results, and blocking any other scientists who could show otherwise.
More than likely, the fish were dumped or died as a result of some kind of pollutant. But this is China - the darling of the Left and one of the most polluted hellholes on the planet. One never knows.
They wrecked the (old) Sierra Club. The Sierra Club was a good group about protecting the environment. One of the things they were against was uncontrolled illegal immigration which caused more sprawl.
The Sierra Club was then hijacked by the Democrat Party so now they are pro-open borders and I would bet most of these enviro groups are funded by the Saudis and other ME oil countries. Lib-turd Matt Damon got busted doing his anti-Fracking movie which was funded by Abu Dhabi oil money. F TV and F Hollywood!
Nah, looks like shiners (first 3).
Carp have a lower mouth.
Shiners aren't particulary hardy either. They aren't as fragile as menhaden, but we used to see die offs in summer during a hot spell and low water.

Obviously, no one ever lost any silver to the bottom of the Huangpu.
Would you like flies with that ___________?
Sounds fishy to me
Just another red herring. No trout about it. Coddling on that scale is bound to finnish off a few of the bigger flounderers and even some of the small fries will be belly up.
Oh, get off your high perch and stop carping about a few dead fish. Just for the halibut, can't you sing any other tuna? I mean, damn, what a crab! You're making me positively eel.
If you insist on being such a stupid pollack, I am going to have to ask you to clam up.
You talkin abalone pal. You obviously dont get the octopycs of what im shellin out, its not at all inky. So reef back on the shnarkyness, and get yourself some psychiatric kelp.
You suckers dont know carp. Here we talk about silver & GOLD, FISH not so much.
I've canceled my China vacation. Just seems prudent.

Damn, the CIA sure is busy these days............
At least when the MIC was poisoning US fish in the Columbia River, it was creating US jobs.
Now the MIC poisons fish in some Chicom river and creates Chicom jobs and pays Chicom taxes. The environment is even more fucked, and the economy is even more fucked, and yet the dumb sheeple beg for MOAR of the same.
George Chen may be the next thing floating in a Chinese river.
By the latest news, the US dollar may be the latest dead thing to be found floating down Chinese rivers.
So long & Thanks for all the fish! ~ Oh wait!
here's a crazy theory -China is a huge enviromental shithole

The Dems, Oba-the-Islamic, Kurgman, the TV newsdmedia and Hollywood portray China as a shining model because they like controlling serfs like the Chi-Coms.

After decades of pollution in suicidal amounts - as anyone who has been to Seoul in the 90's will attest - S.Korea had a series of poisoned river headlines and floating livestock stories that finally forced people to act. I just wonder how long, if ever, it will take the Chinese to come to their senses.

That river looks like the Cuyahoga after it flows through the ghetto. Actually a bit better, since I don't see any dead bodies wearing 59/50 hats and Nikes. About the same number of dead fish though.
Most of my family is from Central and Northeast Ohio. It's sad to listen to their stories about how their state decayed during their adult years. At least they had fantastic childhoods growing up in a 1250 sq. foot, post-war solid rock of a home where the average family in the neighborhood still had 4-6 children and parents could feel safe letting their kids play in the streets and walk to schools.
Now? Now many of those same areas are turning into ghetto section-eight filled shittholes in the shadows of long-gone factories, steel mills, and auto/auto-parts plants. My how far we've fallen.
Wow, 8 people sharing 1450 sq. feet. What a utopian dream!
Your nostagia for large families is misguided. An exponentially increasing population benefits no one except the elite who prosper from the economic ponzi based on infinite growth. Obviously there is something to the fact that the most educated have the smallest families. Many of our problems would begin to improve if the breeders would stop having to have a litter, instead of a smaller, stable family, that they could actually be able to support emotionally and financially.
Too much poo in the Huangpu.
ZH was laughing at the drug OD line; I was facepalming over the "climate change" line. Environmentalist wackos have learned well: never let a crisis go to waste.
idiot. Climate change is real. Seriously. Anyone denying climate change has not even checked a thermometer in 30 years. That doesn't mean it's the culprit here but it is easily measured.
Seriously? Pollution is real. Overpopulation is also real. Climate change (notice how people have stopped using "Global Warming" since the earth stopped heating) is also real but it is not caused by either of the above.
Who's the idiot? If you look at the actual data, the average rise in temperature over the past 50 years is something like 1 degree celsius. So, yes, temperatures have risen, but if you think life on Earth is so fragile that a 1 degree change in temperature is catastrophic then the idiot is you.
Desertification of the planet is a major component to global warming. Man has stopped mob grazing of the herbivores, which has destroyed the massive grass lands throughout the world. By reintroducing mob grazing, we can restore the grasslands, bring the CO2 levels back to pre industrial levels and feed the World.
Pature farming saving the World, How about that?

Seriously? Have YOU checked the "global thermometer" for the last 10 years?
I checked for a million years and find your argument RIDICULOUS...
It's not Climate change, it's that CLIMATE CHANGES!
Big orange thing in the sky....
Using a term for a naturally occuring process to push an agenda of control is disingenious. No shit the fucking climate is always changing that is an absolute. It always fluctuates to a certain degree short and long term. Whether we exacerbate it or not it still happens. This is that subtle language usage to associate natural occuring processes with control by regulation. Why don't they call it human climate intervention for example.
Just a reminder how nuts these people are that push this agenda remember that little thing about global cooling that everyone thought would cause the end of the world in the 1970's?
http://economicsfortherestofus1.blogspot.ca/2013/04/from-baby-credits-to...
From Baby Credits to Carbon Credits: Climate Science and EconomicsLeading voices in the climate debate, including President Obama’s science czar, were advocates of baby credits to control global cooling before they advocated carbon credits to control global warming. An examination of their past views should be undertaken before more economic decisions are made.
heir arguments have proven false in the past and they have advocated other policies such as forced sterilization and baby swapping adoption services based on gender. These policies were advanced in the name of science and the environment, not for social engineering.
Consider John Holdren who is the Assistant to President Obama for Science and Technology, the Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and a Co-Chair of the President’s Council of Advisers on Science and Technology. He is an advocate of increased spending to fend off an impending climate crisis. But his views are untrustworthy when you examine his past. In order, he has argued that increased amounts of CO2 in the atmosphere causes:1. Global cooling and crop failures,
2. Global warming, and finally
3. Climate change.
Mr Holdren’s past views and his ‘scientific’ studies have proven flawed. What would our current society like if Mr Holden had been able to turn his ‘science’ into policy?
In 1968, Paul Ehrlich, a colleague of John Holdren and his future co-author, published The Population Bomb. This book stated that the Earth had reached its maximum population and mass starvation would occur in the 1970s and 1980s. This Malthusian view proved completely wrong, but it views are worth noting. The main conclusion was: The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s and 1980s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. At this late date nothing can prevent a substantial increase in the world death rate.T he message of fear was obvious. One advocate of this new anti-population movement was John Holdren. He also supported the “global cooling effect” which believed carbon emissions would cause temperature drops and crop reductions.
In 1978, it gets interesting. John Holdren and Paul Ehrlich published a book titled Eco-Science: Population, Resources, Environment.
In this book, Mr Holdren and Mr Ehrlich advanced their beliefs on global cooling. They stated action was needed in response to science. Among the policies they identified to reduce global cooling and control population growth were:
1. The creation of a “baby credits” trading scheme where individuals could trade their reproductive rights for cash with other individuals. Couples with no babies could sell their ‘baby rights’ to other couples who wanted to have more babies than the state determined level. This baby credit trading scheme is an eerie predecessor to the carbon trading scheme now in place.
2. Putting a birth control chemical in the world’s drinking water or food supplies to reduce fertility levels to rates they would determine were acceptable and implant young women/girls with birth control capsules when they hit the age of puberty . Later, the capsules could be withdrawn when the woman decided she wanted to have children (withing state proscribed limits.)
3. Create financial lotteries with cash prizes that would only be open to childless people;
4. Create an adoption system so potential parents who wanted a male child instead of a female could adopt what they wanted rather than “trying for another child.” Unsuitable single mothers would also have to give up their children for adoption.
Both Mr Holdren and Mr Ehrlich believed that by the 1980s, global cooling would have a devastating impact and that the population would be demanding action. Imagine what might have happened if those governments had acted on global cooling. Now, of course, we are told that schemes should address either global warming and/or climate change.
History is soon forgotten and policy makers tend to live in a time bubble where the past was last year and the future is the next election. But what lessons could be drawn from these events, given that the people involved in the past are now in positions of significant policy and spending influence?
a. Before undertaking any spending programs or policies such as more carbon credit trading schemes, reviews should be made of what these individuals and their colleagues have advocated in the past.
b. With respect to an individual spending project such as vehicle emissions, multiple sources of data should be reviewed to determine if ideological views have found their way into the discourse.
In the 1970s and 1980s, many mainstream scientists were making morally demands about how the rest of us should reshape our lives to meet their scientific views. Now, in 2013, we are facing new demands for more radical polices from the same voices, albeit based on the exact opposite of what they believed earlier (cooling vs warming).
Those scientists who made these past projections about global cooling and mass starvation are frequently the same people who now occupy significant positions of influence. John Holdren is one of those people. Before letting their voices gain any further influence, a review of their own views might be useful.
We got the equivalent of Josef Mengles as a science tzar. Fucking wonderful. When do people finally wake up and realize the 21st century version of Nazi Germany has taken over the US government and is in the process of consolidating power.
How much more proof does one need that we've taken over from the inside by a bunch American Freedom hating socialists.

Obama Caught Lying About His Socialist Party Membership Posted on April 8, 2013 by stevengoddardAfter allegations surfaced in early summer over the ”New Party”s” endorsement of Obama, the Obama campaign along with the remnants of the New Party and Democratic Socialists of America claimed that Obama was never a member of either organization. The DSA and ”New Party” then systematically attempted to cover up any ties between Obama and the Socialist Organizations. However, it now appears that Barack Obama was indeed a certified and acknowledged member of the DSA”s New Party.
The Internet never forgets.

Illinois: Three NP-members won Democratic primaries last Spring and face off against Republican opponents on election day: Danny Davis (U.S. House), Barack Obama (State Senate) and Patricia Martin (Cook County Judiciary).
So the solution to the problem is the Carbon Credits program that will transfer more money from the 99% to the mega-wealthy? Great, so companies will pay for these credits and the costs will be passed on to the consumers - us. And how does this money grab by the .01% help the environment?
DID I FUCKING STUTTER?
I classify "carbon credits" along with all other fiat - garbage.
We need only choose our own level of damage & benefit like good capitalists & if you do enough harm to others they warn you, then kill you if you continue - that's your fucking problem, isn't it?
Yeah, I'm glad I wasn't swallowing coffee when I got the "Theories reportedly include climate change" line. It would have been spraying out my nose.
Why don't we just say "Theories reportedly include angering the river gods" and agree that's the real answer.
Hey as long as the stawk market is up, who cares?
Amazing how geopolitical and geoeconomic events favoring china suddenly result in China's weakpoint, water ways and supplies, being ravenged in all manner of ways. Simply amazing. If only the CIA had thought of a way to cripple China years ago, we would not have had to wait for these natural events.
US economic warfare in small vials?

China's overpopulation is more problematic for the Chinese than it is for the US. Food for thought.
Soyrent gleen food for stomach.
There are still fish in Chinese Rivers?

Most likely fertiliser (nitrates). It's spring.
It leeches through poor soil into the water and causes algae growth, which consumes all the oxygen in the water. Other aquatic life suffocates.
That certainly explains the dead pigs.
It does if they were trying to get them to breathe water.
If pigs had wings, they's just fly by the thousands over Chinese rivers. Stupid pigs.
Spring brings death. Old trees and old people die just when you thought they made it through a long hard winter.
Old farmers told me not to graze my livestock on first
spring grass, full of germs, parasites and poisonous evil
and such.
Cuts well with your fertilizer story or whatever the soil
throws up because all winter it is mostly physical (frost cracking up stones for future soil ) and chemical processes, fruit peels on the compost heap from October will look as if from last week when the snow recedes.
This is nothing.
Let's see if the Chinese can set their water on fire like they did in the 1960s.

It's nothing that serious... we just dumped 5000 tons of Cyanide into the water supply....
oh yeah... don't drink the water... it's been in the water for about 2 weeks or something...
Thats a damn fucking shame that is,
Any how, this wife finds out her bloke is shagging about behind her back and plots revenge, she sneaks in one night and finds him pissed and asleep on the couch. Next thing you know, she lobs his cock off with a blunt knife and fucks off in the car.
After going a few miles she wonders what to do with said severed cock, so throws it out the window.
Just then, Paddy and Mick the Irish builders are going along in their van, and the severed cock brays off the window, quick as a flash, Paddy turns to mick and says, "Bejesus Mick! You see the size 'O that cock on that fly!!".
Just a thought mind.

You're a Socialist scumbag .... but that was funny !
Socialist?
I tell you one thing Monedas,
I am sick and tired of feeling ill and fatigued.

I think that all right-thinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that ordinary, decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I'm certainly not! But I'm sick and tired of being told that I am! -- John Cleese

Great story Man!!! Feeling ill and fatigued, its time for you to start exercising...
250kg isn't a whole lot of fish in the greater scheme of things.
Indeed..my first thought, too (before snorting coffee at the "global warming" reference).
Took out more carp than that with just one sticky of jelly as a kid.
Methinx you should all being going long sulfur-scrubbing technology for coal planets. Seriously, those middle class Shanghai residents are going to go leaning hard green.
Well i guess Walmart will have fish in stock.
Favorite line from that story: authorities insist there is no risk to public health or drinking water sources
Hmm, I wonder if the authorities drink tap water. True story: I have friends who are going over to Beijing for 3 years for work. They have two school-age kids and have been looking at schools for them. One of the schools is encased in a bubble with air filters. The other schools do not. My friends are leaning towards the bubble school because the air quality is so bad.
I don't see how attending a bubble school would help much since you still have to come and go from the place and breathe the bad air everywhere else, so having a few hours' respite from it isn't going to make a whole hell of a lot of difference.
Grown ups from Eastern Europe are still said to suffer from bad attitudes. Air quality was a non issue in their real grey and white world and they learned the word for air pollution not until it was gone for good.
I was just about to make fun of your friends and leanings
but without fresh air no real learning .The bubble air quality school is probably the next best thing to home schooling or no school.
I can smell the bad breath of public education
but expat kids will be aliens forever anyway with or without
oxygen where ever they go.
250K? WTF borthers to pickém up and then weighing them. No even a starving fisher man would bother.... this story is BS. Tell me again when we are talking about 25.000 tons......
That's why carp fly above china rivers. Trying to limit their exposure to the water.
I do not know of any Chinese drinking tap water.... having said that i did not trust the bottled water and chose Tsing Dao. :)
And the Chinese breweries get the water with which to make their beer, where?
Newsflash...McDonalds China: Filet-O-Fish prices filet'd(filleted?) in half.
How many Chinese coal miners have they fished out of the river ?
Shanghi is also the site of numerous deaths from a newly classfied flu... some believe these events are related. One of the first dead worked at an animal processing factory, brought the disease home and it killed his father and brother. It's possible that this is a pretty nasty animal flu that has been able to jump to humans.
Or it could be the first chapter to a zombie apocalypse book.
First they ate the river pigs' brains, but I was not concerned, because I was not a river pig.
Then they ate the diseased river chickens' brains, but I was not concerned, because I was not a diseased river chicken ....
They sequenced it HXNX latest last X number seven or so,
sounds pretty much engineered even for the uninitiated.
Modern nasty`s or cocktails are of different strains each of bacteria, viruses and fungi and only when they all succeed
you get a jump. Modern ways to reduce your immune system
to a Chinese outdated brick wall defense will do the trick.
There are about a million ways to get your immune system fucked up with the right dose of processed food and prescription drugs.
Well now they know what to do with their abundance of engineering and science graduates.
Monsanto GMO. Hey if they can hang banksters in China maybe they can hang Bill Gates there too.
It's ok folks. They're all Tibetan fish. Purely an internal matter. Nothing to see, move along.
If that were the case, one would expect to see signs of incineration prior to death.
"Theories reportedly include climate change, electrocution, an explosion or even a drug overdose." The answer is, of course, that China has no environmental laws (except the firing squad.)
I guess both the fish and birds got a fatal case of the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu.
A Chinese pig, duck, black swan, chicken and a fish walk into a bar.
The barman looks up at them and says, "What is this, some kind of joke?"
More like walk into the bar and die.
A pig, duck, black swan, chicken and a fish walk into a Chinese bar.
The barman looks up at them and says, "You guys stink, why don't you float on over to Jing's bar!"
There, fixed it for ya.
"A Chinese pig, duck, black swan, chicken and a fish walk into a bar."
Barman asks without looking up : stirred or shaken ?
Ok, then.
A Chinese pig, duck, black swan, chicken and a fish walk into a bar and die.
The barman looks down at them and mutters, "Dammit! The KFC was two doors down!"
project blue?
if I remember correctly captain trips killed the animals as well...
bring out your dead.
Not just animals ...:
