Cattle mutilations are up again
2023-08-11 16:21:32
Six cattle died mysteriously in Texas, with their tongues removed, the hide around one side of their mouths gone and no blood spilled. In two cases, the animals' genitalia and anuses had been removed with a circular cut that the sheriff's office said had been made with the "same precision as the cuts noted around the jaw lines of each cow." This is obviously the work of aliens from another planet.
Cow anuses, tongues, and sex organs are highly-prized alien trophies. They are the alien equivalent of an "I [heart] NY" T-shirt that your cousin from Iowa picked up during her memorable visit to Albany. The one she wears while tearfully recalling the moonlit night standing on the Collar City Bridge staring down at the Hudson River, telling you that this was a peak moment in her life, never to be surpassed.
Aliens are weird that way. They can't get enough of the penises, anuses and tongues. They show them off to their Uncle Glorp and Aunt Xenyzaitalia and say "I made it to Earth! I MADE IT! Look at these COW PARTS I collected when I was there! Aren't they MAGNIFICENT! I AM SOMEBODY! Woo hoo! Look at me everybody! Who's got cow parts? I GOT COW PARTS!"

Aliens are also notoriously cheap bastards. All of these cow parts are available inexpensively in bulk any slaughterhouse in America, but they'll kill a cow and take just the parts they're interested in before spending one sliver of latinum.
Damn ay-leens.

John Dvorak has passed. I’m of mixed emotions. First off I’m more positive about his contribution to the overall technology journalism of the early PC days through the 90s, despite how many things he got wrong. He was a firebrand and commanded attention. (More...)

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.
