Mookid, masks, and meat

Pretty freaky, they love their pork in Spain. They love their masks in South America.
I love this song; you should too.

On a happier note...

Why is Sushi so damn good?!
I fantasize about it way more then I should. If I could eat it for every single meal and snack, I would.
My friend Andrew and I spent a good forty minutes discussing everything delicious, and sushi defiantly took up at least 15-20 minutes of that time.

Did you know the traditional form of sushi is fermented fish and rice, preserved with salt? The term sushi comes from an archaic grammatical form no longer used in other contexts; literally, "sushi" means "it's sour", a reflection of its historic fermented roots.

I am personally a fan of sashimi. What's your favorite kind of sushi?!
Does anyone know the best sushi places in DC???
I gotta find em.

Rape within Afghan Marriage...

What the fuck?
Yesterday dozens of Afghan women who tried to protest against a new law that virtually legalizes rape within marriage were attacked in the capital, Kabul.
Among the provisions of the law are things like, wives are obliged to have sexual relations with their husbands at least once every four days and women cannot leave home without their husband's permission.
The women protesting had stones threw at them while the Afghan counter-protesters chanted "death to the slaves of Christians".
It's wildly frustrating and upsetting have no control of over some things.

Snow Monkeys!!

This photograph of Japanese macaques relaxing in a hot bath was taken on a winter morning by wildlife photographer and zoologist Heather Angel. The pool is in the Joshinetsu Kogen National Park, Nagano, Japan, in a place known as Hell's valley because of its steep cliffs, dense forests and the boiling water that spurts from the frozen ground. It was built 30 years ago when it was discovered that the monkeys, like us, like to bathe in hot water.

Japanese macaques - also known as snow monkeys - live further north than any other non-human primate. Snow covers the ground in Hell's Valley for four months of the year and temperatures often drop to -20 °C. Thermal pools - both natural and man-made - help the monkeys survive the harsh climate.

So cool, right!?
