Dragon sausages renamed due to not containing dragon. Film at 11.

I love the British and Australian news agencies, because I find gems like that reported that you never hear about in the American press. Speaking of which, I'm tired of every website and television channel having crap on about this nutjob; I don't care if he got married to someone else who ALSO believes in his crazy cult! EDIT: At the time of this writing, the site linked above appears to be down. I hope that isn't the case permanently, as there was some pretty amusing stuff there!

In a completely unrelated note, the other night I was playing my Game Boy.. what else is there to do, without a computer from this century.. when I encountered a shiny Torkoal in one of the new areas included within Pokemon Emerald. Yes, I know, at this point most of you don't really care about these games, but I'm mentioning the fact because I've been playing the series since the original trilogy, and have NEVER encountered a shiny Pokemon in the wild, with the exception of that one red Gyarados in the second generation games, which you always run into for story purposes.

You can click here for more information, but in a nutshell, it's simply an incredibly rare occurance; 1 in 8192 odds, in fact, but it seems much, much more uncommon then that in a game that truly is all about statistics. For comparison, it'd kinda be like in, say.. WoW.. where you're farming for some crafting resources, and then, that one worthless enemy that aggros you at the end of your farming run and that NEVER has any good loot, drops an epic. :3

Lastly, I've got an MRI scheduled in a few days so the doctors can have a better look at my back, since I've been getting pain there to go along with my migraines.. the more answers I can get to my problems, the better, ne?
