Facebook deletes profiles of cat eaters

ARHUS, Denmark (UPI) -- A group of Arhus, Denmark, journalism students said their Facebook accounts were deleted after they posted pictures of themselves eating a cat.

The Danish School of Journalism students said their accounts were closed by administrators of the popular social networking Web site after they uploaded the photos, The Copenhagen Post reported Wednesday.

The students said the cat cooked and eaten as a means of drawing attention to the plight of pigs, cows and other animals used primarily for food.

"We wanted people to think about what it was they were putting in their mouths," said Laura Boge Mortensen, one of the students involved. "It's hypocritical for us to spend thousands of kroner on our pets, yet buy the cheapest pork from Netto that comes from pigs that have lived a horrid life. And just why is it that it's worse to eat a cat than a pig?"

The students said the cat was killed humanely and prepared by a professional chef.

"We had to count to three before we sat down to eat, and I wouldn't really say that we stuffed our face," Mortensen said. "Everyone did take a bite though."

Remember when being sick was “fun”?

When you’re a kid, being sick is kinda fun, depending upon how sick you are. You got to stay home from school, watch t.v. most of the day, play games in your room. Fun!

As an adult, being sick is not fun at all. Whether you are missing a day of work, or some other activity. Watching t.v. all day is boring. Surfing the net can be bothersome too.

Yesterday I woke up with a ballooned head, full of snot :( I felt tired and just generally run down. I felt so yucky I stayed home from my weekly bowling league. When that happens I know I am sick!

I managed to stay awake until later in the evening, and with the assistance of Nyquil managed to fall asleep and stay that way for almost twelve hours. Thank God I don’t have to go to work LOL

I am feeling a bit better today. Still kinda sluggish and tired, but not as snotty as I was yesterday. I also don’t feel like my stomach is going to erupt with a ton of gas boiling inside it like I did last night. I am happy for that!

I am sure there are better things to blog about, but right now my mind isn’t firing on all pistons. I will get better and blog about better things tomorrow

I hate cold and flu season, and I am not fond of winter, and being sick is NOT fun!

There’s my thoughts, where’s yours?
