The Cannibus Catapult

Washington Post - Drug smugglers are using an ancient invention as a new way to move marijuana across the border from Mexico to Arizona. The discovery of two "drug catapults" in the Mexican state of Sonora marks the latest twist in the cat-and-mouse game traffickers play with authorities.


U.S. National Guard troops operating a remote surveillance system at the Naco Border Patrol Station say they observed several people preparing a catapult and launching packages over the fence late last week.

A Mexican army officer says the 3-yard (3-meter) tall catapult was found about 20 yards (20 meters) from the U.S. border on a flatbed towed by a sports utility vehicle. The officer says the catapult was capable of launching 4.4 pounds (2 kilograms) of marijuana at a time. He says soldiers seized 35 pounds (16 kilograms) of pot, the vehicle and the catapult.
The smugglers left before they could be captured. The surveillance video of them using the catapult was released Wednesday.

Hey, whatever works, Bro.  Simplicity, reliability, the catapult.  However, this particular catapult was not alone.  Officials found a number of other pot catapults in the area since this article was published, who knows how much weed they were tossing, and for how long?  Whatever, welcome to the medieval ages Mexico.

Thanks to Kyle for the tip on the story.

Are You Kidding Me Bro?

Huffington Post - Authorities have launched an animal cruelty investigation after a dog was discovered encased inside a block of ice on a British Columbia man's front lawn.The dead dog was discovered by the homeowner on Jan. 15, said Marcie Moriarty, a spokeswoman from the British Columbia animal protection society, adding that the man did not know the dog or how the block of ice arrived on his property.

"It's a bizarre and very upsetting case," Moriarty said Wednesday. "Inside the block of ice, which looks to have been made from a large rubber bin, was the frozen corpse of a medium-sized black dog."

Investigators are trying to determine the cause of death.

Come on world.  Unless this was some crazy pitbull trained by Mike Vick, or a any cat, what's the point?  I've seen dog statues on lawns before, some Bro has one on his lawn in the town next to me.  It lasts longer, and won't rot in the summer.  So there really isn't a perk to having a frozen dog lawn ornament.  I think it would be pretty awesome if the dog woke up like Austin Powers and was perfectly fine, but that's probably not going to happen...  I guess if this Moriarty Bro is in the mob it kind of makes sense.  Instead of a horses head in the bed, its his dog frozen solid in his front yard?  The final sentence in the report is pretty good, "Investigators are trying to determine the cause of death".  He's not frozen in a giant block of ice or anything...

Fuck Cats... Again

CNN - As the death toll from devastating flooding in Brazil continues to rise, a single picture drives home the sense of loss.Leao, a medium-sized brown mutt, lies next to the grave of her owner, Cristina Maria Cesario Santana, who died in the catastrophic landslides caused by heavy rain. This AFP/Getty picture was taken on Saturday, the second consecutive day that the dog refused to leave the woman's grave at the cemetery in Teresopolis, near Rio de Janiero.
Brazilians are bracing for more rain, fearing more landslides after waves of muddy water swallowed towns in the country's worst flood disaster on record.
At least 655 deaths were reported in a mountainous region of Rio de Janeiro state, northeast of the city of Rio.

First of all I'm kinda pissed Barstool got to this before me since I was awake at 5 am this morning.  But this just goes to show exactly what I always preach, fuck cats.  An owner's dog will always be there to stand by their side, dead or alive.  Cats do shit like cough up hairballs and stab you with their claws, Dogs lay down by their owner's grave for two straight days, and counting.  And you know what, Stool hit the nail right on the head, when they said "this is why I like dogs more than people", loyalty bitches.  That's what it's all about Bros.  When you get a dog that will keep motherfuckers off you like mine, you'll know what I mean.  Hounds for life.

Beast Mode Shakes Seattle

Seattle, the city that never sleeps.  Known for it's rain and earthquakes.  Many including ESPN's Colin Cowherd who is from the area are still anticipating "the big one."  There happens to be a Pacific Northwest Seismic Network monitoring station located conveniently in the heart of Seattle.

During the 67 yard run and display of how not to tackle, the station actually recorded seismic activity from the Seahawk's "12th Man", a blip on the graph.  In these clips Beast Mode treads to a touchdown that will go down in history as one of the best NFL Playoff runs of all time. 

This video is what the NFL is all about.  Everyone's drunk, everyone's pumped, and theres nothing better than seeing a long, powerful touchdown run in the NFL when you're drunk and pumped.  The 1st person commentary and view gave me goosebumps just thinking about the atmosphere, and what the upset win for the Seahawks means to the city of Seattle.  The fan, charliemac64 says it best, "Do we belong now? Who Dat? All that shit! Fuck you all! AHAHA!"  That's what I'm talkin about baby! Earthquakes and football, that's what Seattle does!

If the 'Hawks make it past the Bears this week, which is probably the best head-to-head matchup of the remaining teams in the playoffs for the Seahawks, the the opposition is going to have a hell of a time at Qwest Field in the NFC Championship game dealing with the 12th man that you see in the video firsthand.  Seattle better prepare for another quake if they overcome Chicago this week.

God Bless America!

So it's that time of year again for everyone's favorite pastime; Baby Dropping. Hundreds gather each year in India to watch some grown Hindus and Muslims throw their infant babies off a 50 foot high ledge onto a bed sheet. When I first saw this video I wasn't sure whether to laugh or not. (I laughed) All I was thinking was "God Bless America Bros!" I mean come on you are throwing innocent babies off a building. What is fun about that? What if a kid misses the bed sheet? However, I then began to think of how much smarter Indian children are than American children. It is believed that most Indian 10 year olds are smarter than some 30 year old American adults. Shit, I think we should start throwing our babies off buildings pronto. Whatever it takes to end our run of busy one of the dumbest countries in the world. Seriously though, this is just wrong. Why can't they just throw a ball instead? Do you think we should be dropping our babies like India?

Lamb Rover

MSNBC PhotoBlog -What the hell do we have going on here Cuba?  If this was the deep south I could see that this guy is maybe rushing his wife to the hospital, the lamb does look kind of prego.  Plus I don't know whats going on with the little erotic ear nibble, it's all good i suppose.  But on the other hand I have a feeling Cubans aren't as messed up as some rednecks, so they probably haven't had sex.  I'm dumbfounded on this one.  Plus, she's not even wearing a helmet.  Safety first Bro.
