This is the way

Here we go ’round the Burning Bush
Just one more push
Now shake your tush
Here we go ’round the Burning bush
Praying for an illusion

This is the way we keep the dosh
By corp’rate cosh
Woo hoo! Bish bosh!
This is the way we feed at the trough
Every day is our payday

This is the way we slave each day
Well, you, anyway
From cradle to grave
This is the model we have paved:
Delegating your serfdom

This is the way we spin our words
That’s right, you heard
Define ‘absurd’
This is the way we shepherd the herds:
Every act by our say so

This is the way we use our tools
To shape the rules
Ha ha! You fools!
This is the way we pull the wool
So close your eyes a bit tighter

This is the way we bake your heads:
He said/she said

Blue Lady

48b0cba13f3a1bluemar

Blue lady of the mist don’t change your soothing hue,

Make me forget the lies that I’m still holding true.

Blue lady cuddle up next to me in the night,

Nuzzle your head in my arms as I hold on to you tight.

Blue lady sweet is the sky that rains on your cold flesh,

Entangle me in your mysterious white loving mesh.

Blue lady sing to me as the dew drops fall upon the shadows,

Clear the firmament of my old love which is imprinted in tarot.

Blue lady of the Nile sing a lovely song to this musician,

Your every word is my delight as willing a submission.

Blue lady of the twilight please drink the cup of lunacy with me,

Stay with my eyes in staring embrace & never set me free.

Blue lady set in my sight caress my old decaying skin with water,

If a group of Russian MPs has it their way, soon hamburgers, French fries and soda drinks sold in the country would have mandatory warning of the diverse effects that fast food can have on health, just like on cigarette packs.

The legislation that would put fast food on par with tobacco in Russia is yet to be submitted to the parliament, but the three sponsors of the potential bill say it’s necessary.

“Our consumers have to be informed about the harmful ingredients in products, similar to the measures taken towards cigarettes,” the three MPs told Izvestia newspaper. “Excessive consumption of such products leads to obesity, harms lungs, heart, kidneys and liver.”

“Packaging of such products should have threatening pictures showing the diseases that can be caused by overconsumption of fast…

Egyptian Mummy-Making May Have Started Way Earlier Than Scientists Thought

08/14/2014 9:59

Long before ancient Egyptians swaddled their pharaohs in balm-and-resin-soaked linens and placed them in treasure-bedecked tombs, their more egalitarian predecessors were using essentially the same embalming recipe.

The finding, published in PLoS ONE, pushes back known use of the multi-ingredient ointment by about 2,000 years, the authors estimate. The early blend includes a resin that probably came from at least 1,000 kilometers away from the gravesites, hinting that the region already had an established and extensive trade network.

The results will have archaeologists rethinking how mummification evolved, says Alice Stevenson, an archaeologist at University College London who was not involved in the study.

Previously, the earliest known use of resin for mummification in Egypt was around…
