A Vote for Sterilization

You know an article is going to be good when it has this title: “Fleeing shoplifter forgets son.” Apparently, a man in Amsterdam stole a package of meat, ran out of the store (leaving his 12-year old son inside), and sped away in his car, despite a store employee who clung to the hood trying to stop him.

The boy, of course, told police how to get ahold of his dad, but when they called the dad…he refused to come pick up his son, and said they’d have to contact the boy’s mother.

Later he turned himself in.

How would you feel if you were that boy? Knowing that your dad feels more strongly about getting some meat than making sure you’re ok?

I suppose if it were really good meat…

I was just about to log off of this lab computer and head to class when I pulled up engadget.com for a quick look. And there was an article that you all need to read.

Think tank pins Apple’s iPod as possible culprit for increase in violent crime

Please, tell me that you agree with me. It’s absurd, right?

NIMH?

So… he looks WAY bigger than P2 in this picture, but he is really only about half the size.

So now we have a new rat-friend. I’m not as generous as Roni, so I’ll skip straight to the last step and let you vote for my favorite names.

– NIMH – because the book is awesome, and so is the movie. As an added bonus, “nim” in Korean means “beloved one”
– Nicodemus – because he is one cool rat in the book “Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH”
– Boris – I dunno… I think his fur color is like those Russian hats (not so much in the picture, but in real life)
