These Massive Extinct Eagles Could Have Carried Off That Toddler's Dad Sure, a golden eagle can theoretically snag a baby. But the Haast's eagle hunted 12-foot-tall monster birds. By Dan NosowitzPosted 12.19.20
Last night, a video supposedly showing a golden eagle swooping down to pluck a toddler from a Montreal park--it was unsuccessful, luckily--hit the internet. Great video! This morning, avian experts both amateur and professional began weighing in, saying the video was doctored, that the bird in question was not actually a golden eagle, that the bird's behavior is unusual and that, all in all, it's probably fake. So, yes, perhaps a golden eagle didn't attempt to grab a Quebecois baby. But this whole thing reminded us that raptors--the larger family of birds of prey including eagles, hawks, vultures, and owls--are crazy strong and also sometimes crazy big. So let's take a look at the craziest, strongest, and biggest raptor that ever existed: the Haast's eagle of New Zealand. The Haast's eagle is extinct now, and has been since, probably, around the year 1400, soon after the Maori first settled the South Island of New Zealand. (It has been reported as seen a few times since then, including once by "noted explorer" and generally reliable source Charles Edward Douglas, but, as you'll see, that's pretty unlikely.) The Haast's eagle was outrageously big and strong. Its wingspan was comparatively short, given its body size, at around nine feet long. I say "comparatively" because that's about as long as the longest wingspan of any extant raptor, including the golden eagle (which is huge) and the Steller's sea eagle (which is also huge).
Is there anything they do that doesn't hurt like hell? I mean fuck! Really? In this day and age of technology couldn't there be a better way? An eight foot needle in the jawbone? WHAT THE HOLY HELL!
"You're going to feel a little bit of pressure, Moose." By pressure does he mean unrelenting pain from the seventh level of hell? "You're going to feel a little pinch, Moose" By "little pinch" does he mean I should slur every cuss word I know whilst white knuckling the exam chair, with this fuck-sticks fingers in my mouth? I'm of the belief that dentists are the most sadistic suns-a-bitches on the planet. Are they pissed off because they're not real doctors?
Fuck that shit...I'm never going back. Imma brush my teeth, and floss eight hours a fricken day. FUCK DENTISTS IN THEIR ASSES!
Of course upon leaving the dentists office Dental Tech hottie says "Flash me those pearly whites, Moose!" I give her what I perceive in my mind to be the million dollar smile,...but the reality is I do the my face is numb and you get to see me drool in public, bit. Sexy...NOT!

This is an actual letter sent to a man named Ryan DeVries regarding a pond on his property. It was sent by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Quality, State of Pennsylvania . This guy's response is Hilarious, but read The State's letter before you get to the response letter, you won't stop once you start.. WOW!!! Love this man..!!!
This is an actual letter: State of Pennsylvania 's letter to Mr. DeVries:
It has come to the attention of the Department of Environmental Quality that there has been recent unauthorized activity on the above referenced parcel of property. You have been certified as the legal landowner and/or contractor who did the following unauthorized activity:
Construction and maintenance of two wood debris dams across the outlet stream of Spring Pond.
A permit must be issued prior to the start of this type of activity.. A review of the Department's files shows that no permits have been issued Therefore, the Department has determined that this activity is in violation of Part 301, Inland Lakes and Streams, of the Natural Resource and Environmental Protection Act, Act 451 of the Public Acts of 1994, being sections 324.30101 to 324.30113 of the Pennsylvania Compiled Laws, annotated.
The Department has been informed that one or both of the dams partially failed during a recent rain event, causing debris and flooding at downstream locations.. We find that dams of this nature are inherently hazardous and cannot be permitted. The Department therefore orders you to cease and desist all activities at this location, and to restore the stream to a free-flow condition by removing all wood and brush forming the dams from the stream channel. All restoration work shall be completed no later than January 31, 2010.
Please notify this office when the restoration has been completed so that a follow-up site inspection may be scheduled by our staff. Failure to comply with this request or any further unauthorized activity on the site may result in this case being referred for elevated enforcement action..
We anticipate and would appreciate your full cooperation in this matter. Please feel free to contact me at this office if you have any questions.
Sincerely, David L. Price District Representative and Water Management Division.
Here is the actual response sent back by Mr. DeVries:
Re: DEQ File No.. 97-59-0023; T11N; R10W, Sec. 20; Lycoming County
Dear Mr..Price,
Your certified letter dated 11/17/09 has been handed to me. I am the legal landowner but not the Contractor at 2088 Dagget Lane , Trout Run, Pennsylvania .
A couple of beavers are in the process of constructing and maintaining two wood 'debris' dams across the outlet stream of my Spring Pond. While I did not pay for, authorize, nor supervise their dam project, I think they would be highly offended that you call their skillful use of natures building materials 'debris.'
I would like to challenge your department to attempt to emulate their dam project any time and/or any place you choose. I believe I can safely state there is no way you could ever match their dam skills, their dam resourcefulness, their dam ingenuity, their dam persistence, their dam determination and/or their dam work ethic.
These are the beavers/contractors you are seeking. As to your request, I do not think the beavers are aware that they must first fill out a dam permit prior to the start of this type of dam activity.
My first dam question to you is: (1) Are you trying to discriminate against my Spring Pond Beavers, or (2) do you require all beavers throughout this State to conform to said dam request?
If you are not discriminating against these particular beavers, through the Freedom of Information Act, I request completed copies of all those other applicable beaver dam permits that have been issued. (Perhaps we will see if there really is a dam violation of Part 301, Inland Lakes and Streams, of the Natural Resource and Environmental Protection Act, Act 451 of the Public Acts of 1994, being sections 324.30101 to 324.30113 of the Pennsylvania Compiled Laws, annotated.)
I have several dam concerns. My first dam concern is, aren't the beavers entitled to legal representation? The Spring Pond Beavers are financially destitute and are unable to pay for said representation -- so the State will have to provide them with a dam lawyer.
The Department's dam concern that either one or both of the dams failed during a recent rain event, causing flooding, is proof that this is a natural occurrence, which the Department is required to protect. In other words, we should leave the Spring Pond Beavers alone rather than harassing them and calling them dam names.
If you want the damed stream 'restored' to a dam free-flow condition please contact the beavers -- but if you are going to arrest them, they obviously did not pay any attention to your dam letter, they being unable to read English.
In my humble opinion, the Spring Pond Beavers have a right to build their unauthorized dams as long as the sky is blue, the grass is green and water flows downstream. They have more dam rights than I do to live and enjoy Spring Pond. If the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection lives up to its name, it should protect the natural resources (Beavers) and the environment (Beavers' Dams).
So, as far as the beavers and I are concerned, this dam case can be referred for more elevated enforcement action right now. Why wait until 1/31/2010? The Spring Pond Beavers may be under the dam ice by then and there will be no way for you or your dam staff to contact/harass them.
In conclusion, I would like to bring to your attention to a real environmental quality, health, problem in the area It is the bears! Bears are actually defecating in our woods. I definitely believe you should be persecuting the defecating bears and leave the beavers alone. If you are going to investigate the beaver dam, watch your dam step! The bears are not careful where they dump!
Being unable to comply with your dam request, and being unable to contact you on your dam answering machine, I am sending this response to your dam office.

What’s unique about Scott, of course, is that he’s one of the few African American Republicans to hold elected office. He was one of two black House members in the 112th Congress, and beginning in January, will serve as the only African American in the Senate, the first to ever come from South Carolina, and the first to come from the South since Reconstruction. Not only will he take seat once held by arch-segregationist Strom Thurmond, but he’ll represent a state that in 1860 seceded from the Union after affirming slavery and declaring blacks “incapable of becoming citizens.”
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A Pakistani-born man wanted to avenge the deaths of U.S. drone attacks in Afghanistan by blowing up a New York City landmark but lacked the money and materials to carry out the plan, a federal prosecutor said Tuesday.
(From ASSOCIATED PRESS) Want people to know the "hate blog" this comes from. Picked up by the New York Post. http://www.nypost.com/p/news/nationa...M7SpYc1mr3ZFYJ This man is being held with no bail. It has been determined he is a danger to society. His faith has inspired his actions. This demonstrates that these so called moderate Muslims are a ticking bombs themselves.
It is time to recognize the danger this ideology/religion is. End any Muslim immigration, it is past time. Islam has bought this on themselves and their whining only reinforces that fact. To defend a religion which produces through faith killers or would-be killers is ridiculous. Time to look at the facts and stop with the excuses.
