Just want to see

If I can post from my iPod.

One more for Easter...

The original theatrical trailer for the most un-cute bunny movie of all time, Watership Down:



Not for the kiddies, but it's still in my top three animated movies of all time.

UK troops rumored to be using man-eating badgers to attack Iraqis

Boing Boing article
BBC article

British troops in Iraq are accused of releasing "man-eating badgers" in Basra, according to a BBC news report.

The creatures, apparently some 39 inches (100 cm) in length, are the size of dogs and have monkey-like heads.

The BBC news story quotes a local woman, Suad Hussain, who claims to have been attacked by one of these creatures: "My husband hurried to shoot it but it was as swift as a deer"

Known locally as Al-Girta (also known as Honey Badgers) the director of Basra's veterinary hospital, Mushtaq Abdul-Mahdi, refutes the claims, stating: "Talk that this animal was brought by the British forces is incorrect and unscientific."

I ran the image through some filters, Cindy...

Raised the gamma, increased saturation, filtered out the noise, and if you squint just hard enough, you can see what I found:



The "despeckle" option was what confirmed it, though. Take a look.



Holy shit!

So, if anybody looked at my travel website, you may have noticed on the Blarney Castle page where I mentioned badgers are mean. So, I was in their cave with only the light of my camera flash...Doing some homework with Photoshop, I thought- hey, let's adjust those badger cave photos and see if any badgers were there! So, here's some crappy possibly-evidence. If that's a badger, I could have been mauled to death by that Irish badger, drug off in the depths of his Blarney cave, never to be heard from again. Close call, me.
