Pico Day was the sanest event I've been to in a while... glad I missed the news this weekend! Leave this story up; I'm sure a new twist will rear it's ugly head in the news again :) No matter how good a writer we think we are, reality always kicks it up a notch!

Funny thing... a buddy of mine say Islamic folk slaughter sheep on Ramadan. When he lived in France (in the 70's), they'd bring them into their apartments for slaughter, scared the shit out of the new tenants. But I guess, after learning how to butcher meat, anyone can apply that same skill to people.
Maybe that's why violence has dropped off so much in the modern age, where burgers are bought, and not made O_o Wars, on the other hand, are about control, and after they're done, weaponized people are afoot.
