Oreos
Manufacturing Demand is something I've been looking into lately and upon seeing Kraft Food's Oreo bits, I'm certain this is a prime example. Whether intentionally or not, Oreos found their way into a lot of other things besides just a glass of warm milk. Oreo cheesecake, Oreo McFlurries to name a few. With the demand for Oreos in place, Kraft managed to repackage their defective cookies as crushed Oreo bits. It is pure genius. Not only does it reduce wastage but also increases sales revenue! How often do you kill two birds like that?
Disgusting
Lately heard this interview over a podcast about the ever entertaining Obedient Wives Club which has been making small waves in the headlines.

Women who want to subject themselves to such practices in order to enter Heaven? Where is your self-respect??? These people are being manipulated by their sex-crazed husbands that indoctrinate them into no longer thinking for themselves and following the writings of holy scripture without critically examining their actions or implications.
And what's worse,.. Dr Azlina is a doctor and in a position to advice her patients on their conduct... the thought is mind-boggling and frightening at the same time.
It is this very sort of thing that would bring about the rise of religious fundamentalism (blind-faith) for the next step to not questioning your husbands, would be not questioning your religious leaders,... which would lead to the possibility of a religious crack-job one day ordering their congregate to arm themselves and purge the world of infidels. The breakdown in challenging an order that does not make sense only leads to blind subservience to whoever is currently waving the holy book around espousing absolute reverence.
No wonder so many wives keep silent when their husbands decide to turn their lust onto their family members.... Its a horrible manipulative control game and it disgusts me to see such things in what I hoped was a secular nation.
Devil Rodents
The most devious of rodent-kind,.. the Guinea Pigs of the Abyss!! Don't let their adorableness fool you for their silky smooth fur hides their horn and forked tails!
Keep on Digging
Minecrafting away...
An overview from the top of my multi-level tower which touches the clouds. I had to wait for the clouds to move before snapping this screenshot.
The Iron Room, fully made from blocks of Iron Ore. There is a Gold Room somewhere as well but its pathetically sparse.
My First Mine Pit which I covered with Glass.
There should be a way to make mushrooms multiply!... there has to be...
This is where I get pounced on by Spiders 80% of the time.
The strange thing about Minecraft is, I keep wanting to build Shrines... the bigger, the most ostentatious, the more magnificent the better... I've got a larger one somewhere in the works.
What fortress is complete without a Grand Hall? Complete with roaring fireplace (made with Netherack), bright red wool carpets and also strange artworks on the wall.
This bed would come in handy except for the fact that here, I'm all alone... all alone in the world except for sheep and cattle.... mmmm sheep...
A rail-line that takes me to an underwater construction I'm working on now. Should be quite fancy once its done.
