Absolutely unhinged and obscene behaviour.

America’s Raw-Cheddar Chaos The FDA has linked an E. Coli outbreak to contaminated cheese. The company that makes it refuses to agree to a recall.

OK, now *that's* an interesting thought.

my one weird talent
is that i can play my skull like a xylophone
i could do that even when i was kid and it has nothing to do
with my skull being more smooth than previously
