Let Wild Horses Have Safe Sex

You'll be thrilled to know that the House of Representatives passed HR 1018, the "Restore Our American Mustangs Act" which provides $700 million to the Bureau of Interior to conduct a horse census every two years of the wild mustangs and burros of the American West.

Oh, yeah. One other thing. It provides for "enhanced" contraception so that these animals won't restore themselves too wildly.

We couldn't let Nature take its course now, could we?

And you get to pay for it.

Just Bad Luck, Part 2

An Indonesian fisherman visited the wrong island.
(CNN) -- An Indonesian fisherman has been killed by Komodo dragons after he was attacked while trespassing on a remote island in search of fruit, officials said Tuesday.

Muhamad Anwar, 32, bled to death on his way to hospital after being mauled by the reptiles at Loh Sriaya, in eastern Indonesia's Komodo National Park, the park's general manager Fransiskus Harum told CNN.

"The fisherman was inside the park when he went looking for sugar-apples. The area was forbidden for people to enter as there are a lot of wild dragons," Harum said.

The Komodo dragon, which can grow up to 10 feet in length, reportedly has a toxic bite, but Anwar didn't live long enough to find out just how toxic.

Perhaps they should offer fishermen maps with the island marked, "Beyond This Point There Be Dragons."
