It's sort of like Moore's law or something -- every new alpha-geek Linux distribution will have a logo that's twice as lame as the logo for the last alpha-geek distribution.

Serial Killing Seal
2001-04-19 09:24:20
Normally, in an Animal Rampage stories you get them pesky, but dangerous critters attacking humans. Those animals that are trying to skip a couple of eons of evolution and jump right to the top of the food pyramid.
However, this California seal is molesting and killing his own. Particularly young seals. I should be horrified and disgusted, but instead I'm strangely, and somewhat worryingly (blame Dubya for that word), attracted to stories like this.
Biologists just don't know what to make of it as they never, apparently, encountered such weird behavior before in nature and I guess assume only humans can be serial killers. Obviously, they haven't been reading the PDJ, as we been documenting abnormal critter behavior since before we became a weblog. Anyway, if you like weird, perverted animal sex, vicious serial killing varmints, talk of castration, and befuddled biologists, this is a can't miss article.

Poor Metallica. All they want is to continue to put out the same weak "Heavy Metal" they've been churning out since the "And Justice For All" days? and make gooey wads of cash in the process. The problem is, people aren't buying their bound for the heavy metal scrap heap, over-produced, uninspired, tired crap. And let's face it, their various commercial endorsements won't pay for the lifestyle they've become comfortably accustomed to. Resorting to lawsuits makes perfect sense, when you need spending money. But just one lawsuit isn't going to pay their bills. So, to aid Metallica, I've composed an open letter to the boys in the band, with suggestions as to whom else they might sic their lapdog lawyers on... (More...)
