toddsift: Bassdogs

As you all may have heard on the news this morning, there was an earthquake in southern Illinois today. This got me wondering, was the earthquake caused by the movement of the tectonic plates, or was there a more devious source? Let us look at the facts.

1. The Mascot of Southern Illinois University is the Saluki. A dog of Egyptian origins that looks like a greyhound that needs a haircut.
2. In 2004 a grad student of SIU received a fellowship to “work with industry researchers to improve the health of sunshine bass”
3. According to one of SIU’s websites: “Industry-leading firms from around the region, nation and the world recruit School of Engineering graduates. With a state-of-the-art facility, highly qualified faculty, and active partnerships with area industries and agencies, students prepare for challenging careers in engineering, computer science, and construction management.”

From these facts I think that it is obvious Southern Illinois University is creating a massive cloning machine that produces mutant bass dogs for the purposes of world domination. The “earthquake” was no more than explosion tremors from a major facility malfunction. This should set them back about 6 months.

While we enjoy the brief reprieve from our future of tail slaps and dog bites I thought that we should enjoy some videos about animals.

Tom found this one. It is not so much about the animals, but about the disturbing little ditty that accompanies it.

This is from one of SIU’s early animal attack human projects.

Here are a couple of SIU Students training a heard of mutant talking goats that will run the infrastructure of the puppet government established after the bassdogs take over. They seem a little obsessed with the balls though.
