Did any of our Toronto dopers happen to see [this](http://www.nealenews.com/Miscellaneous.htm?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&c=Article&cid=1146406867818&call_pageid=968332188492&col=968793972154&t=TS_Home) this past weekend? It’s too bad there’s no pictures available…

For some reason I read this thread OP as “Steven Hawking Eats Babies,” which might possibly be more disturbing, because he’d have so much more trouble catching them.

The Canadian PM …is a Dingo?

I think you’re confusing _Dingo_ with _Dinkus_. It’s all good, though. Everyone makes that mistake with him.

I wish I coulda seen that. Hax0ring for political commentary at its finest. 😃

I would have chosen “Dalton McGuinty is a weenie” as my message, though.

You owe me a new monitor. 😃

Why can’t the PM be a dingo _and_ a dinkus? Makes perfect sense to me…

_BOTTLED_ Hollandaise sauce? Blearggh.

Surely a world-renowned quadriplegic astrophysicist and bestselling author who employs enough staff to catch babies for his eating pleasure also has someone on hand to prepare them properly.

If you really want to see some interesting websites, google “abortionists eating fetuses.” Not Work Safe, Proceed At Your Own Risk.

Let’s just hope he doesn’t hire me. I would feel like I did a good job if I had the cupboard stocked with a wide variety of condiment packets from local fast-food joints.

Aaah ! but that’s completely different. You’re talking about _bébé poutiné_ a nice afternoon snack. While I’m talking about the proper way to eat baby in the summer, at the cottage or in a picnic in the park.

What? No-one wants roast baby with potatoes and Yorkshire pudding anymore? I understand the horseradish is quite… piquant.

Besides, after Stephen Hawking finishes his [robotic exoskeleton](http://www.theonion.com/content/node/39133), the’ll have no problem catching babies. Or attending to that trouble on the moon.

For some reason that letter reads like the set-up for a Monty Python skit.

Dear Og. Every thime I think the internet cannot throw up something even more perverse a) than I could imagine, and b) than the last thing I saw, it does it again.

I am _so_ not going to do that search.
