Kangaroo Scrotums Are the New Victims of Global Warming

Yes, you did read the subject line correctly. http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/kangaroo-scrotums-are-the-new-victims-of-global-warming-000487-v20n5

Evidently over in Australia the use of kangaroo scrotums for souvenir bottle-openers and key-rings is a medium sized business.  The manufacturer's trade is suffering due to a series of floods in Queensland, which some meteorologists believe to have been caused by climate change.  The flooding has pushed the kangaroos inland and way from the areas where they are normally killed for their testicles.  He has a stockpile of 50,000 scrotums and processes ~1,000 per week.

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

which some meteorologists believe to have been caused by climate change.

I love that sentence.
The word 'believe' infers faith.
'Meteorologists?' Feh, might as well have used the word 'Astrologists' if you want to talk about prognosticators who are about as good at guessing as the rest of the population.

Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith
