Man, there is some stuff you just can’t make up. PETA, in its infinite wisdom a few months ago, decided that it would be a downright swell idea to start a petition to have the word “fish” changed to “sea-kitten”. It’s to raise awareness of the wrong-doing that fishing incurs.

Don’t take my word for it, this is not a joke. You just can’t make this shit up. PETA - Save the Sea Kittens.

Fish Rape

Now, I’m not going to kill anymore brain cells than necessary by reading more about this crap from their website. The main page is bad enough. Overly cute, fish doing stupid things like reading, being raped by little girls, the usual.

Don’t these people know they’re teaching kids to hold fish out of water so they can suffocate to death? What sick bastards are behind PETA?

I just can’t fathom how stupid you have to be to fall for this crap. Everything PETA does and says is the biggest load of bull ever witnessed by man. Only surpassed perhaps by Dubya.

Just think, almost 12,000 fools signed the petition to stop the “hunting of sea kittens.” Twelve thousand dumbasses.

Also, if you ever need proof of how idiotic Pam Anderson is, she’s an avid PETA member and poster girl for them, along with lots of other bimbo retard celebs.

I CAN HAZ BRIAN?

I guess you need an IQ of a small child to fall for this stuff.

You know what? PETA has inspired me. I want to save moths.

Moths have been succumbing to the likes of felines for years. Bren doesn’t help the situation! She feeds cute, innocent, harmless moths to her monster of a cat Meeka! THIS IS SICK AND ATROCIOUS. We must save the air kittens!

Someone think of the air kittens.

Please, won’t someone think of them? It’s bad enough the sea kittens get hunted. Now we have feline feeding mongrels, hunting moths and murdering them with their cats!

(I’m going to go jump off a cliff over the stupidity of humanity now.)

Olympus Evolt E-510

Well, I finally got my new toy and I’ve been wanting it for a long time now. I’ve wanted a DSLR camera ever since they first came out. It was a painful wait too, took about a week to get the camera just to find out I had to wait another week because the guy forgot to pack the batteries. I finally got it all however, and also got a weekend to play with it. I must say, I absolutely love it. I’m a secret camera-freak I guess, so finally buying this is just awesome.

I figured I’d write a little unprofessional review of it, as well as test out wordpress’s new features (yay image captions).

It is any enthusiast photographer’s wet dream. Automatic bracketing (in different ways too), 3 FPS shooting, 10 megapixels, RAW capability, in-body image stabilization (nifty feature), full-automatic mode as well as Aperture/Shutter priority modes, full-manual and even programmed ’scene’ modes. Can take Compact Flash and xD memory cards, so space isn’t an issue. There’s a whole bunch of custom lenses, optics, flashes and other accessories for it. It can become a money sink pretty damn fast.

Zuiko Digital 14-42mm lens

The one I got was a Body + Lens combo, so it came with a Zuiko Digital ‘four thirds’ lens (14-42mm). The auction also included an extra battery in the deal too, so overall it was a steal compared to what you’d pay for one normally. I got all that for the price of the body only basically, you gotta love ebay sometimes.

So far the pictures it has taken, even in full-auto ‘SHQ’ mode, are amazing. Using aperture priority mode with RAW, oh man just forget it. Amazing quality, even if you aren’t a professional. You don’t need to be a photographic genius to take good photos with this.

The lens it came with is great too, using around f8 gets the sharpest photos out of it. It can zoom up to approximately 3x and go to a very wide angle as well. The ‘four thirds’ lenses are a bit different in that they aren’t based on 35mm standard, so 14mm on this lens is about the equal of 28mm on a normal 35mm standard lens. In my uneducated testing, the 25mm mark is about equal to 35mm and 35mm is about equal to 50mm (don’t take my word as perfect though, I’m probably off a bit).

One thing that is still holding me in awe, is the overall speed of the camera. It takes barely a second to turn on, automatic focusing in ideal conditions (good light) is nearly instant, writing speed (to slow xD cards) is even bearable. The focus is much more tedious inside when it is dark and using the flash. The flash will pop up and sprinkle light onto the area to try to focus, and sometimes it just takes awhile. Manual focus indoors might be a better option.

The only thing is it is obviously large and isn’t going to fit this in your pocket, unless you’re still sporting some of the baggiest pants on earth. So it is going to make a great companion to my existing SP-310 which I’ll have no trouble taking anywhere due to size. My 310 will also continue to be my macro shooter, I’m amazed at that cameras ability to do macro shots. I’m sure with a macro lens, this E-510 could take amazing macros as well.

I would recommend this lens to anyone looking for a near professional-grade DSLR but don’t want to fork out $2500+ for one. You can get this for about $550 with body + lens + battery. If you ask me it is an excellent deal. It has amazing reviews around the block and comes highly recommended everywhere I look.

I’ll have a bunch of photos posted tomorrow that I took with it to show off what it can do.

I also in no way see this camera as an extension of my body, no matter how bad it looks.

Man, there are some stupid ‘conditions’ out there, and I think RLS takes the cake. RLS is defined as such:

“Restless legs syndrome is a condition that is characterized by an irresistible urge to move one’s legs (occasionally arms or torso).“

I guess people aren’t allowed to be uncomfortable anymore or fidget. What are we going to treat next with medicine, excessive blinking? This is where Mirapex comes in, to solve RLS with medication you don’t need!

Now it is one thing to be suckered into getting medicine for this, when you’re probably just moving your legs because you’re nervous, deep in though, etc. It’s a completely different thing to accept all its side effects.

• Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting, especially when standing up
• Drowsiness
• Hallucinations
• Weight gain
• Weight loss
• Nausea
• Trouble in sleeping
• Twitching, twisting, or other unusual body movements
• Unusual tiredness or weakness
• Several unusual adverse effects of this medication may include compulsive gambling, hypersexuality, and overeating.

Please tell me how ANY of these adverse effects taken directly off of wiki, are worse than dealing with your legs moving around? Yes, I’d much rather have an extremely elevated sex drive, want to waste my money gambling, hallucinate, be drowsy and feel sick all at the same time. Maybe then my fantasy of gambling while halucinating that the chips are singing at me while vomiting at the same time!

This is just pathetic, guess the drug companies need to make more money off of suckers.

Our good friend Cherry is going to be joining us here at Leghump. So ‘Welcome Cherry’! ^^

She should be posting soon. Also, there might be another friend joining us (Tyler), but we aren’t sure yet what he wants to do. I guess we’ll have to go smack him around some.

Well Bren and I decided it was time for a new theme, and we both wanted something sleek, sexy and black. This was inspired by the .Mac web galleries, as seen in this sample gallery from Apple.

Personally I really like it, was a bit weary of a black background making it hard to read but I think we got the colors, well, grays correct.

If you have any feedback, see a bug or anything wrong, please leave it in the comments and we’ll fix it.
