UN warns of looming worldwide food crisis in 2013.

World grain reserves are so dangerously low that severe weather in the United States or other food-exporting countries could trigger a major hunger crisis next year, the United Nations has warned.

... and lets not forget that the USA has already experienced a year without summer.

So the zombie apocalypse might be closer than we think, only it will not be zombie stricken neighbor the one wanting to chew you out

Stable weather patterns are essential to crop production. Also, once a region is thoroughly established for crop growing -- it can be difficult/impossible to uproot and follow the "safe zones" around if they move too frequently.

Oopsie .... :P

A 2-year-old boy was mauled to death today after falling into the African painted dog exhibit at the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium.
Pittsburgh police Major Crimes Lt. Kevin Kraus said the boy's 34-year-old mother placed the child in a standing position on a wooden railing overlooking the enclosure.
"Almost immediately after that he lost his balance, fell down off the railing into the actual pit and he was immediately attacked by 11 dogs," Lt. Kraus said.

Problem is the waste made from the food anyway.

But whatever, as long as I can still do my unlimited meat works I should be fine.

Someone will find a way to blame them.

Either because she's very stupid and wanted to give her kid a better view, or because she wanted to murder her son and make it look like an accident.

The sad thing is that the mother will be seen as a victim for ptting their child in such a dangerous position and the zoo will be sued and will settle out of court.

She was not thinking that's why. Furthermore they will most likely sue that there wasn't good enough rails or warning signs and will win money for the error of the mother.

Indonesian ran 'online network of 1,800 sex workers'

An Indonesian woman accused of running an online prostitution ring has denied profiting from a network of nearly 1,800 sex workers, her lawyer said Monday.

Yunita was standing trial at Surabaya district court in East Java on multiple charges including human trafficking, punishable by up to 15 years in jail.

According to a copy of the indictment seen by AFP, the 34-year-old, who like many Indonesians goes by one name, arranged for the prostitutes to meet their potential clients via text messages on BlackBerry Messenger.

In one case a prostitute told police that Yunita had instructed her to entertain a male client for a fee of 1.5 million rupiah ($156), one third of which was wired into her bank account, it added.

Yunita had around 30 prostitutes working directly under her, but her "friends who cooperated as her pimps" had a network of nearly 1,800 sex workers in various cities including Surabaya and the resort island of Bali, it said.

Her defence lawyer Erry Meta said the indictment had "fatal errors".

"She had never asked for money from them or profited from their work," he told reporters after Monday's session of the trial, which started last week.

"The prostitutes had readily transferred (the money) to her. She never knew whether or not they had entertained the clients," he added.

"Yunita never told them what to do so those charges were totally untrue."

Yunita covered her face with her hair and declined to speak to reporters.
