Hurricane Irene brought hilarious tweets, slip 'n slides, raw sewage....and red mushrooms? Reader Luke Dohner sent us the above photos, and told us he found them this morning across the street from East 2nd Street near Avenue C, where he locks up his bike every day...and they weren't there before the storm! "There are about 100 in this little triangle park, about 8 inches tall, spongy body, and lots of flies. Bright red with a dick head-like shape. Looks like more are coming up today," he wrote us.
We think they may be related to the Phallaceae family of mushrooms, also known as "stinkhorn mushrooms"—they are known for their foul smelling sticky spore masses. As Dr. Casey Simon told the Huffington Post, hurricanes create the perfect climate conditions for mushrooms to grow...including "magic mushrooms," psilocybin (which are noted by their bluish-gray stems). In case you're thinking about going down there and eating them, naturopathic physician Dr. Suneil Jain warned that many mushrooms can be toxic, and shouldn't be consumed unless they've been examined by an expert.
Update: According to Sally Bondor, "my mushroom book calls them the Mutinus Caninus or "Dog Stinkhorn.'" Dog Stinkhorn, which are part of the Phallaceae Family, is generally considered not edible, although it is "probably edible" at the ‘egg’ stage.

It strikes me that many who claim to have a moral monopoly on Christianity go on to do and say some of the least Christian things imaginable.
Like that guy who decided that killing Dr Tiller was morally righteous. Or the pompous assholes who think that being Gay is a sin. Or that South Carolinian Governor who compared poor people to stray dogs.
Jesus taught to love and forgive.
Jesus did NOT teach people that being an Asshole was the right thing to do.http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=25942564

Remember that asshole who tied a stray dog up in an art gallery and starved it to death?
His name is Guillermo Vargas Habacuc and his "art" is up for an award and he's planning to repeat the crime this year.
The prestigious Visual Arts Biennial of Central America decided that the act of cruelty WAS actually art, so Guillermo Vargas Habacuc has been honored for the Biennial of 2008.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - The U.S. has revised its count of juveniles ever held at Guantanamo Bay to 12, up from the eight it reported in May to the United Nations, a Pentagon spokesman said Sunday.
The government has provided a corrected report to the U.N. committee on child rights, according to Navy Cmdr. Jeffrey Gordon. He said the U.S. did not intentionally misrepresent the number of detainees taken to the isolated Navy base in southeast Cuba before turning 18.
"As we noted to the committee, it remains uncertain the exact age of many of the juveniles held at Guantanamo, as most of them did not know their own date of birth or even the year in which they were born," he said.
A study released last week by the Center for the Study of Human Rights in the Americas concluded the U.S. has held at least a dozen juveniles at Guantanamo, including a Saudi who committed suicide in 2006.
"The information I got was from their own sources, so they didn't have to look beyond their own sources to figure this out," said Almerindo Ojeda, director of the center at the University of California, Davis.
