Festival GastronAAmica del Gato
ANIMAL rights groups are up in arms over an annual festival in Peru that serves up hundreds of fried CATS to locals.
The ‘Gastronomical Festival of the Cat’ a€" dubbed the ‘Massacre of the Moggies’ a€" sees townsfolk in Canete, near Lima, feast on the fluffy pets for two days.
They believe that eating cat burgers a€" and fried cat legs and tails a€" can cure bronchial disease.
It is also believed that feline meat serves as an aphrodisiac.
The cats are bred especially for this festival a€" which takes place at the end of September on the Day of Santa Ifigenia.
But it has generated fury among animal rights groups.
A PETA spokesman said: "a€oeIf Peruvians really eat poor old Moggy because they think his meat cures bronchitis, thata€™s about as bizarre as it gets, although remember that Asians eat monkey bits thinking that will cure their impotence and even Europeans butcher poor old Bessie the cow or Henny Penny the hen, because they see them as nothing more than a bit of nourishment.
a€oeHaving toured slaughterhouses for dogs in Taiwan, horses in Texas, and chickens and cows in Europe, PETAa€™s staff says the last thing we need to do is add yet another poor animal to the list of those being frightened and slaughtered for a taste.a€A

Rediculous [sic] Tattoos
So, I was out "cruising the forums" and flaming n00bs like I usually do when… wait, actually, what happened was my friend’s mom sent me an email of photos of the 8 best hugs from the L magazine, of which I decided the one above was the best (provided that the polar bear does not proceed to bite the dog’s neck off.. neck… off).
Anyhow, after being thoroughly entertained already, I then moved on to cruising the forums and flaming n00bs like I usually do and I stumbled upon this post of the 10 Greatest Misspelled Tattoos. I’m not going to post all the pictures there, but I will say you should check out their blog. The joint is pretty fab, um, to borrow an expression.
And about that polar bear, what the feezy? Does it think that the dog is another bear? As ninjas know, it’s shark week on the Discovery Channel. Last night I watched an amazing program with a free diver swimming with tiger sharks. He seems to forge a friendship with one particular shark (Dolores) and is able to ride on her back and FEED her! [Ed. Watching a human feed a huge shark from his hand was another "whatthefeezy" moment. ]
The program also shows multiple species of sharks feeding together, which was previously thought to be impossible. Maybe the dog and the bear have a similar thing going.
Anyoldways, we’re giving away a $50 AMEX gift card for the best caption to the polar bear picture, so leave us a comment or email us at suggest@myninjaplease.com.

Watch the Watchmen!
The ninja at the end of the video basically sums it up for me. When I saw this trailer this weekend in the theater, I almost crapped my pants.
