Strongest beer in the world...in a squirrel
Gotta love when strong adult beverages meet taxidermy...
Our old buddies BrewDog have done it again. Not content with winning back the "strongest beer in the world" title last February with its Sink the Bismarck!, they've now upped their game with a new brew that is 55 percent alcohol by volume and carries a $765 price tag. It's called The End of History.
Oh, and did we mention that the bottles come in stuffed animals-like stuffed animals that were once alive? The 12 bottles have been made featuring seven dead stoats (a kind of weasel), four squirrels and one rabbit. James Watt, one of the two guys behind BrewDog, put it better than we ever could: "The impact of The End of History is a perfect conceptual marriage between taxidermy, art and craft brewing." Just like we've all been waiting for!
For those interested in the actual beer, it's a blond Belgian ale with touches of nettles and juniper berries -- and in order to achieve the brain-blasting alcohol content, it had to be created using extreme freezing techniques.

'Magic Jeff' Gets 20 Years For Child Porn
The Kennesaw man was known as a children's magician who performed in schools and hospitals and as a Calvary Jesus Church youth counselor, but those jobs masked a man federal prosecutors say preyed on young boys.
Jeffrey Alan Wasley, 39, has been sentenced to 20 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to secretly taping boys in public restrooms of metro Atlanta department stores and children's attractions.
At The Y...
Whew...I can sleep easier now:
CHICAGO -- The Village People won't be changing their hit song "Y.M.C.A." just because the YMCA is now known officially as just "the Y."
The lead singer of the original group, Victor Willis, released a statement Monday after the Chicago-based U.S. nonprofit announce that it's changing both its logo and name to "the Y."
Some new Foetus
Wow...love the packaging of this one...gonna have to bite the bullet and spend $30+US for a 45...gotta:
The collaboration between JG Thirlwell and Fred Bigot (of Electronicat) is now finally released by the French art/music label Optical Sound.
Under the name Hydroze Plus, the release is a clear vinyl ten inch EP. The EP consists of the songs "Overcoat" and "Calm Calm", as well as JG's remix of "Overcoat", which is entitled "Epi-Dose", and Bigot's remix of "Calm Calm", which is entitled "Belladonna".
The packaging, designed by JG Thirlwell, is particularly unusual and unique. It is designed to resemble an anatomical text book with transparent layers. The eyeball appears on the label which is overlaid by a transparent plastic sheet which is screenprinted with the face's musculature. The card behind the transparent record depicts the skull., and it is wrapped around with a flap that contains the credit.
This is an extremely limited vinyl-only release only available from Optical Sound. 500 copies only.
It will be available digitally from Ectopic Ents at a later date.

Chaos!
Funny. Friend faxed me the last issue (and yes, the last issue really sucked and was a quick and dirty issue) of my High School zine, Chaos: The Only Alternative. I believe I put out about 7-8 issues back in 1986 but have no idea if any still exist. The others were better (I think) than this piece of trash last one.
Just got a couple more pages in for this issue

Crash Test Zombies
What happens when zombies get behind the wheel?
PORTLAND, Ore. -- A car full of people dressed as zombies crashed on Interstate 84 near downtown Portland on Friday, causing initial confusion by people who witnessed the crash.
Sgt. Greg Stewart said people who witnessed the crash initially thought the victims' injuries were much more serious, because of the zombie costumes.
"We're glad that everyone is alive, despite being 'undead'," Sgt. Stewart said, referring to the costumes.
Harvey Pekar RIP
RIP Harvey...but can you ever be at peace?
Harvey Pekar, the irascible writer who spun the mundane details of his own life and the quotidian existences of his fellow Cleveland residents into comic-book narratives, and who showed that the comic-book panel could include everyday feelings of anxiety and disappointment as easily as it does the adventures of costumed heroes, has died, The Plain Dealer of Cleveland reported. He was 70.

His sister Kelly Dumont, who manages the park, is skeptical: "I think they're all a bunch of nuts. It looks more like a gladiator, or the Beatles,"
