Ummm... Other?

H/T Eelz

They've already amassed 75% of their funding! It's going to ruin everything! They're going to reveal our lies about evolution and the age of the Earth to the world! Oh noes! What ever shall we do??

The goal of Project Pterosaur is to mount an expedition to locate and bring back to the United States living specimens of pterosaurs or their fertile eggs, which will be displayed in a Pterosaur Rookery that will be the center piece of the planned Fellowship Creation Science Museum and Research Institute (FCSMRI). Furthermore, the rookery facility will establish a breeding colony of pterosaurs in order to produce specimens that could then be put on display by other regional institutions or church groups.
By doing all this, we hope to accomplish three goals:
Support Creation Theory by showing the incorrectness of the philosophy of Evolutionism.
Educate the population about Creation Science.
Create excitement about Creation and the Bible in the public.
... Evolutionists have engaged in a propaganda campaign to trick the public into falsely believing that the Earth is billions of years old and that many animals which lived side-by-side with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden actually died millions of years before humans were created (or "evolved" in their twisted view.) By finding and displaying living examples of what the Evolutionists claim is impossible, we will sow the seeds of Evolutionism doubt, thereby making the public receptive to the truth of the Bible.
While there are other extant creatures which Evolutionists claim have gone extinct long before man, they are not as ideal for our purposes as pterosaur.
...
In comparison, pterosaurs are a blessing from the Lord: Many reported living species are of reasonable size, making housing and care affordable; although they've become carnivorous, they should be as trainable as the birds of prey commonly allowed to interact with zoo visitors during bird shows; their life cycle appears to be relatively short, making it easier to establish a productive breeding program; and finally, historical and modern reports of pterosaurs are much more common than any of the other Evolutionistically anomalous cryptids, suggesting that large populations are waiting to be revealed to our increasingly unbelieving world.

According to these explorers, the unexplored wildernesses in Africa can "easily hide pterosaur colonies". Yes, colonies (plural) of 11 meter flying dinosaurs are hiding out in Africa and Google Maps never noticed.

I can't wait for the bird shows. I imagine them consisting of pterosaurs snatching children from the audience.

How To Make Manhattan Streets More Dangerous

What might sound like a great idea to some makes me think "are you out of your freakin mind?" Link

Citi Bike, due to launch in July, will be the largest public bike share system in the US, with bikes placed in 600 docking stations in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Citi has paid $41m to sponsor the scheme, in return for royal blue branding across bikes and stations.
The scheme will be operated by Alta bicycle share, which runs similar projects in Washington DC and Boston.
"The idea behind bike share is simple: give people one more way to get around town," Bloomberg said in a statement.
"The new Citi Bikes will be an affordable, entirely new, 24/7 transportation network that will help New Yorkers get where they're going faster. When the walk seems a little far, New Yorkers can choose to skip the hike, and take a bike."

Yeah. Bike share. Great. There aren't exactly bike paths that go from Downtown to Uptown. Have you heard the complaints from bike messengers about getting creamed by car doors suddenly being opened in front of them? Or getting cut off by a vehicle making a right turn? Now you're going to set loose a group of people inexperienced with riding a bike on Manhattan roads (e.g. tourists) and say good luck? Oy.

And if they don't get hurt by accident, i'm pretty sure some frustrated cabbie is going to start taking them out on purpose**.

Then there's the riders who want to be "safe" and try to ride their bikes on the sidewalks. Oh yeah. That's going to go over really well.

**For an example of how you might die by taxi if you don't cross the street properly, ask typer195.

Powdered Baby Capsules

China, this is not helpful. Westerners are already up in arms about your eating habits.

South Korea has seized thousands of smuggled drug capsules filled with powdered flesh from dead babies, which some people believe can cure disease.
The capsules were made in north-east China from babies whose bodies were chopped into small pieces and dried on stoves before being turned into powder, the Korean customs service said.

Another article i read said the pills were dangerous because they contained bacteria. So, not only disgusting, but they might kill you. That's about right for Chinese medicines.

I hold out hope that it will turn out to be a hoax.
