SPCAI to humans; feral dogs are more important than you!
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SCPA) International wants Iraqi's to vaccinate/neutrer/spay feral dogs that are literally hunting humans in packs. Look, guys, you know I have no love for dogs; but come on, if they are hunting and eating humans I'm pretty sure I'm in the right in saying strycnine and shotguns are the correct way to go. Also shouldn't any medicine going into the country be used more on humans rather than stray and feral dogs?
Comment to tell me if I'm out of line. It won't change my mind, but it will make me hate you more.

From the Annals of "What Just Happened"
So today, I took out the trash.
This may not seem like a huge feat by any means, but bear with me a moment. The trash (and recyclables!) had been building for a good 3 weeks, so it was no easy feat bagging them all up and getting them ready for the giant landfill in the sky.
Anyway, I took down two bags full of trash to the basement, where the owners of the building have thoughtfully put dumpsters and recycle bins for just such a purpose.
On the third trip down, the recyclables trip, I chanced a glance into the bin (for what reason I can not fathom now, but it made sense at the time). Upoun looking in, I saw several movies and videogame cases in the dumpster. In the fashion of any true technophile/recyclist, I picked one off the top of the bin, opened it up, and glanced inside.
Nothing. (Obviously, right?)
Now, in an effort to be thorough, I took the next case out and looked inside; sure enough, there was a normal looking DVD in it (Pulp Fiction, I think). This set off my mind like fireworks; 'If I take all these DVD/games out, look through each, and take the cases that have something in them, I can rip whatever info I can off the media, save it to a hard-drive and then sell the discs back to GameStop or whatever!'
And that is when I decided to jump into the dumpster and do just that. After 15 minutes of pretty gross work (recyclable stuff still has sticky residue of some sort on it), I had a pile of a good 50 cases. Of those 25 bore to fruition, and I carried those back into my apartment where they sit in the entrance hall right now.
I guess I'll post back here the results of what happened to these 'dumpster DVDs' and what kind of profit dumpster diving makes.
And how was your day?
Edit: Forgot to follow Rule 10 of the Internet.
