Good to the Last Chunk

It’s not just ANY coffee…

IT’S WEASEL PUKE COFFEE!  YAY!

There’s a little animal in Vietnam which has magical properties. Locally, it’s called a weasel (though technically, it’s a type of civet, but let’s call it a weasel like the locals) and it sure likes to eat the fruit of the coffee plant. But the seeds don’t sit well in its tummy, so it vomits them up. And that’s where the fun comes in – for local coffee folks gather up the beans and lightly roast them. The stomach acids seem to wear away the bitter taste of the coffee beans, and the resulting coffee is delicious and smooth.

civet

From Wikipoidland we find this related tidbit:

Kopi Luwak (pronounced [ˈkopi ˈluwak]) or Civet coffee is coffee made from coffee berries which have been eaten by and passed through the digestive tract of the Asian Palm Civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus). The civets eat the berries, but the beans inside pass through their system undigested. This process takes place on the islands of Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi in the Indonesian Archipelago, in the Philippines (where the product is called Kape Alamid) and in East Timor (locally called kafé-laku). Vietnam has a similar type of coffee, called weasel coffee, which is made from coffee berries which have been regurgitated by local weasels. In actuality the “weasel” is just the local version of the Asian Palm Civet.

Note that Wikistuff contradicts itself here, and that the coffee beans are fully processed by the “weasel.”

It’s a steal at only $24.99 per pound 57 grams.  (That’s only $198.81/lb., but one sip keeps you wired for a week.)

Amazing that it takes a Brit to say what the “unbiased” American media won’t.

At least the Brits have an open press.

“You have to pinch yourself – a Marxist radical who all his life has been mentored by, sat at the feet of, worshiped with, befriended, endorsed the philosophy of, funded and been in turn funded, politically promoted and supported by a nexus comprising black power anti-white racists, Jew-haters, revolutionary Marxists, unrepentant former terrorists and Chicago mobsters, is on the verge of becoming President of the United States. And apparently it’s considered impolite to say so.”

Bizarre Marketing Concept That Doesn’t Work

The great minds of the marketing department at Volkswagon have come up with this dealie.  The idea is that you plug in your picture, and that of your spouse, and it shows you what your offspring will look like, all animated in the back seat of a VW something.  Very odd, but here’s the link:

We at Tacky Raccoons took a test drive on this bizarre concept, just to see how it would run.  Here are the results:

Experiment No. 1: Sarah Palin & John McCain

PLUS EQUALS

Experiment No. 2: Joe Biden & Barrack Obama

PLUS EQUALS

Experiment No. 3: Marilyn Monroe & Bunk Strutts

PLUS EQUALS

Results:  A pairing between a dead sex symbol and a live possum appears to result in better looking progeny than those of the other candidates, and if I say any more, I’m just gonna get in trouble with the lovely Mrs. Strutts who’s holding a hot skillet and asking me what the hell I’m doing.  Gotta go. Talk amongst yourselves…

The Man with the Longest Arms

I can’t make anything out of this, except for two typos in the 14th line in the top board about a foot from the right.  Otherwise the proof is correct.  Here is the problem:

if”n”is a whole number that is more than 3.
The value of”x,y,z”in the equation
“x^n+y^n=z^n”will not be a whole number.
write an equation to prove it.

The man is/was a mathematician of Czech Republic, Pilsen, Westbohemian University, Department of Mathematics, RNDr. Jiří Čížek, CSc. [Source here.]

Then there’s this:  “[something]Ver Analysis: Relationships Built On Self Respect” followed with little train cars/lunchboxes of unintelligible words [perhaps “corp,” “banks,” and two other scribbles] and being pulled by an engine down below past the x’s where it derailed and the little engine spun out.  I dunno, Babs.

I don’t know who the master is in the top image, but I do know whose class I’d sign up for.

[Images from here and here.  As an aside, THIS is very interrrrestink.]

[UPDATE: Some folks are trying to figger out who the guy in the top photo is.  It might be RNDr. Josef Voldrich, CSc, although our crack team of webminers think it is someone older.  Email us if you have a link with positive identification.]

[UPDATE 2: This is cool, and we’re a little bit closer.]

Cool Aggregator’s got an interesting take on McCain’s choice of Palin as a running mate.  Looky.

But Obama’s stared down dictators, too, right?

Senator Joe Biden Stares Down Dictators

Wilmington, Delaware (Strutts News Services) –  According to an amazing number of news sources, Joe Biden was nominated earlier today as Obama’s VP because he’s “stared down dictators”  according to Barack Obama.

I imagine he did it just like this guy, and dictators all over the world collectively lost control of their bowels and changed their governments to democratically elected representative republics.

The world is a safer place because of Senator Joe Biden.

[UPDATE:  Strutts News Services reports 19,500 hits for a google search of “Joe Biden stared down dictators.” Name one dictator that Biden “stared down” and the results of that stare down.  The world is waiting.]
