Plant-Based Burger Smells, Tastes and Bleeds Like Real Thing

Plant-Based Burger Smells, Tastes and Bleeds Like Real Thing: Scientist and chief executive of Impossible Foods Pat Brown has created a plant-based burger that he says recreates the texture, smell and flavor of meat that carnivores crave (including the blood) - while cutting down on the waste associated with meat production. And, after you’ve completely devoured one of these babies, I’m guessing about the only left thing to do is wash it all down with an O’Doul’s non-alcoholic beer.

Study Suggests Smelling Your Food Makes You Fat: Researchers at UC Berkeley discovered that mice who had their sense of smell disabled could eat a high-fat diet and stay at a normal weight, while their litter mates who retained their sense of smell ballooned up to twice normal weight - suggesting a link between smell and metabolism. Now I realize this study was conducted on mice, but I still smell a rat.

Caitlyn Jenner Seriously Considering Running for Office: Caitlyn Jenner is reportedly seriously considering a shot at politics as friends say she has been questioning how she can make a bigger impact on the world. OK, so if I’m understanding the Republican slate correctly, after the next election we’re basically gonna have Trump, Kanye West, Kid Rock, Steven Seagal, the Rock and Caitlin Jenner running the country? Good grief, that’s so insane, I’m not even sure the Russians could get behind that one.

Trillion-Ton Iceberg Breaks Off Antarctica: One of the largest icebergs ever recorded, packing about a trillion tons of ice or enough to fill up two Lake Eries, has just split off from Antarctica. While climate scientists are blaming global warming, Fox news is blaming it on bartenders and cocktail servers, whom they say are the kind of people willing to do just about anything for more ice.

Women Who Eat Bananas Have a Higher Chance of Conceiving Boys: A new study out of the UK found that women who eat a lots of bananas (or anything full of potassium) are more likely to conceive a baby boy.

Escaped Camel Terrorizes Motorists North of LA: Local authorities report that a camel escaped from a property 50 miles north of Los Angeles and reportedly terrorized frightened drivers who were trapped in their vehicles before police were finally able to capture the animal. I guess its gonna come as no surprise to anyone that the camel decided to escape on “hump day.” Wildlife officials say the camel appeared to be in good health, but he did appear to be retaining water.

Scientists Teleport Particle Hundreds of Miles: Paving the way for more ambitious and futuristic breakthroughs, a team of Chinese scientists have for the first time “teleported” a photon hundreds of miles using a process known as “quantum entanglement.” Scientists say that of all the possible applications for this new technology, perhaps the most exciting is the potential impact something like this could have on future pizza delivery.

Hoarder With History of Animal Abuse Eaten by Pet Wolf Dogs: The remains of an elderly woman who spent decades abusing animals were found inside her western Kentucky home and authorities believe that the parts of her body not found were consumed by some of her 50 pet wolf dogs. Perhaps adding to the tragedy is the fact that her death means the local Walmart just lost another paying customer.

Pot-Infused Coffee Pods for Sale in Nevada: A company named Brewbudz is now offering a line of THC-infused K-cup pods in Nevada for Keurig-style coffee makers with a bit of cannabis laced into them. You can bet that’ll make your ears perk up next time someone asks you “I’m brewing a ‘pot’ of coffee, would you like some?”

Ex-Anheuser-Busch CEO Arrested Trying To Fly Helicopter Intoxicated: The former CEO of Anheuser-Busch, August Adolphus Busch IV, was arrested after he landed a helicopter in an Illinois business park and returned, appearing too intoxicated to take off. Police say he also had drugs and guns in the chopper. Hell, doesn’t he have anything to drink at home? Good thing they caught him before he did something stupid like hold up a liquor store.

Florida Teen Kills Mom and Cripples Dad: A 16-year-old Alabama teenager will be tried as an adult for allegedly stabbing his mother to death and leaving his father paralyzed with a punctured lung, a day before he was scheduled to begin taking anger management classes. Well, I guess the best we can hope for at this point is that the poor father will be able to get a refund back on those anger management classes his son will no longer be in a position to be attending.

Earth's Sixth Mass Extinction Event Under Way: Many scientists say a “biological annihilation” with billions of populations of animals being lost in recent decades means the sixth mass extinction in Earth’s history is well under way and is more severe than previously feared. Meanwhile, Trump Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke deputes this scenario and points out what’s really going on here is that God’s really pissed at the gays and if we just quit forcing people to bake them cakes, everything will be just fine.

Trump Admits Wall Will Cover Less Than Half of Border: Donald Trump conceded his much-touted southern wall along the US-Mexican border may end up covering less than half of the 2,000-mile frontier. Hell, if they scale down this frigg'n wall any further, even Gary Busey might be able to pay for it. My only question is, if only half the wall will is gonna be built, will it be the part on the Mexico side or the US side?

Texas Man Arrives for Jury Duty Drunk With Beer: A 23-year-old Texas man has been arrested after he reported for jury duty intoxicated and with a beer poured into a Coca-Cola cup. I guess no one bothered to explain to the poor redneck its supposed to be a jury of one’s peers, not a jury of one's beers.
