A fruit bat

that looks like Yoda.....

"A tube-nosed fruit bat with an appearance reminiscent of the Star Wars Jedi Master Yoda has been discovered in a remote rainforest.

The bat, along with an orange spider and a yellow-spotted frog are among a host of new species found in a region of Papua New Guinea.

More than 200 animals and plants were revealed for the first time after two months of surveying in the rugged and little-explored Nakanai and Muller mountain ranges last year."

& a bunch of fruitcakes.....

"Crowds have gathered outside the US Supreme Court as the justices considered whether the right to free speech protects an anti-gay religious group that pickets military funerals displaying signs that read: Thank God for dead soldiers.

The case before the court, unfortunately, will probably be fairly easy to decide. Freedom of speech always trumps tastelessness.

The Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church, which demonstrates at slain service people's funerals to protest the military's "Don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays, will probably prevail for just that reason. Church members, claiming the wars are divine punishment because the United States tolerates gays, including in the military, feel they have the right to wave signs like "God Hates You" and "You're Going To Hell" because, in their view, homosexuality is an abomination.

The group has about 75 members and is led by patriarch Fred Phelps, who has 13 children and 54 grandchildren, many of whom are church members."
