What do you do with them when they die?  Where do you think baseballs and Elemers Glue comes from?

From the Elmer's Glue FAQ:

Do you use animals when making glue?

No, Elmer's does not use animals or animal parts to make glue. Our products are made from synthetic materials and are not derived from processing horses, cows or any other animals.

Why ever did they think a country full of mayo-obsessed horse-eaters would be a good place for the EU seat of government?

 

And that's just the start:

 

1. They don't refrigerate milk in the supermarket.

2. They also don't refrigerate eggs.

3. You have to "rent" shopping carts

4. The doors on the subway don't open automatically. 

5. It is acceptable for men to wear tacky, oversized sweaters. And leather pants.

Your comments were informative until the leather pants thing. I don't believe it, which causes all your observations to be suspect, right, Blythe? Should I adjust the HFT algo to scan for leather pants now or wait 4 nano microseconds @ ZH?

I'm wondering what the spread is on swaps for when "skyNet becomes self-aware".  Although I'm guessing counter-party risk might be a bitch with that one (mushroom clouds rising in the distance).  Kinda hard to collect for default when the world ends.

The politicians were just waiting for a trade like JPM to pass this exact law. Pretty soon it will be illegal for the "speculators" to both make and lose money. They will have to apply to the government for their "fair share" of the profits.
