TRUE.

Flying Pigs? No! Flying Foxes?

Yes!

These very large Pemba flying fox fruit bats were almost totally exterminated for their delicious meat in the 1990's. But thanks to Fauna & Flora International organization and its conservation program the population of the Pemba flying foxes have increased form just a several species in the mid 90s to 36 thousands nowadays.

You can find these monster bats flying around the Pemba Island in Tanzania. Could you imagine never hearing about these types of bats before and you seem them flying around? Talk about crazy!

Coincidence?

KALISPELL, Mont. - A 44-year old Kalispell man is dead after being hit on Highway 93 Sunday night. Troopers say Randy Lee Tenley was wearing an apparently store-bought ghillie suit when two vehicles struck him.

A ghillie suit is a type of three-dimensional camouflage, sometimes worn by military snipers. The suits are available online and at hunting shops. Troopers say the get-up played a big role in his death. They say he was in the right-hand lane of Highway 93 South when a 15-year old Somers girl hit him.

“He probably would not have been very easy to see at all,” said Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Jim Schneider.

Another car swerved, and a third car, troopers say driven by a 17-year old Somers girl, ran him over.

“It appears the pedestrian was well into the driving lane,” said Schneider. Officials closed Highway 93 for two hours on Sunday night, as firefighters directed traffic and officers investigated. What they found is troubling.

“According to his companions, he was out there in the ghillie suit attempting to incite a sighting of Bigfoot, to make people think they had seen a Sasquatch.

But, dispatchers received no calls of the sort, just the one that sent emergency crews rushing to the scene. Sunday night’s investigation is ongoing. Troopers say Tenley likely drank alcohol yesterday, but they’re still waiting on toxicology results to see if he was impaired.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please do take note that I will no longer be inking at Acid Crue.

To those who did not know, I have now, moved on to my own Private Home Studio where I work strictly on Appointments. It gives me more freedom as an Artist.

Currently I am looking for canvases to push my portfolio further. With that said, I am now looking for at least 10 canvases where I charge only $100 for a session. So if its a big piece that requires at least 3hrs in one sitting, its still $100 !! And if I like your idea and that can benefit my portfolio, I will extend the hours - End of the day, its a win win situation for both my canvas and myself.

So why wait? Drop me a SMS @ 96676536 or Email : [email protected]

The worst drought in modern history has destroyed more than half the nation's corn crop, pushing prices to record levels.

Livestock producers across the country are feeling the pinch as they struggle to feed their herds.

To cope, one Kentucky cattle farmer has begun feeding candy to his 1,400 cows.

"It’s so hard to make any money when corn is eight or nine dollars a bushel," said Nick Smith, co-owner of United Livestock Commodities in Mayfield, Ky.

The candy, which has been rejected from retail sale, makes up from 5% to 8% of the  cattle's feed ration, Smith said. The rest is a mixture of roughage and distillers grain, an ethanol byproduct.

And so far the candy's high caloric content is fattening up the cows quite nicely, he said in a phone interview.

"That's awfully creative," said Paul Cameron, managing partner of Mesquite Cattle Feeders, an operation that feeds up to 35,000 heads of cattle in Brawley, Calif. "He’s probably at an advantage by doing that."

Cameron, who also heads a California Cattlemen's Assn. feed committee, said he hasn't heard of livestock producers in this state using candy in their feed rations.

"I think that’s extremely unusual," he said. "I know there are people that feed vegetables and potatoes and stuff like that. And they’ll use stuff like that to offset the high price of grains, but I've never heard of that."

Smith, who said he is baffled by the some of the media attention, said his cows will be eating corn again as his farm is now harvesting the corn that they grow.

With corn prices going high after the historic drought, farmers will now feed their live stock candy? WTF!
