RIP: Kenneth Keith Kallenbach, Hero Of The Stupid
[via THE DAILY EXAMINER] For Howard Stern fans of a certain age, yesterday’s announcement that Wack Pack member Kenneth Keith Kallenbach had died of pneumonia at 39 was both a shock and a chance to reminisce about their own, possibly misspent, youths listening to Stern before there was such a thing as satellite radio.

PETA Offers $1 Million To The Inventor Of Frankenmeat

People for Ethical Treatment of Animals leaders say lab-grown meat could satisfy appetites without harming animals. “People are surprised to learn that PETA is interested in lab-grown meat, but we have overcome our own revulsion at flesh-eating to champion a breakthrough that will mean a far kinder world for animals,” said PETA President Igrid Newkirk.
