A Mans Friend Says Goodbye...

Sifting through the days crap I came across this story of a man named Mario, as sad as this is, in a way it made my day. Friends are hard to come by and when it is time for a person to leave, how do you say goodbye to your friends you leave behind? And how does an animal know when a person is their friend? I copied this but I am sure you can find the story out there.

According to a report by Dutch News, 54-year-old Mario, who worked for the Rotterdam Zoo in the Netherlands for many years, was recently diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor.  But before he died, he had one wish: to say goodbye to the animals he cared for.
Thanks to a Dutch organization called the Ambulance Wish Foundation, Mario was transported from his hospital to the zoo and wheeled around the giraffe enclosure. That’s when one of the giraffes came up to Mario to give him a kiss goodbye.
“It was a very special moment. You saw him smile," said Kees Veldboer, director of Ambulance Wish. ‘It was special that the animals knew him and could sense all was not well with him.”
According to Dutch News, Mario has spent most of his adult life cleaning the animal enclosures at the zoo.

More Russian Bullshit

Pulled this off a news agency story, Putin is either a drunk or has Stalin running in his dreams at night;

Addressing the Russian Federal Assembly on Tuesday, marking the formal annexation of Crimea, Putin, as usual, had some choice words for the United States. "In the case of Ukraine, our Western partners have crossed the line," he told lawmakers. "Western partners, led by the United States, prefer not to be guided by international law in their practical policies, but by the rule of the gun. ... They have come to believe in their exceptionalism and their sense of being the chosen ones. That they can decide the destiny of the world, that it is only them who can be right."


Western partners, led by the United States, prefer not to be guided by international law in their practical policies, but by the rule of the gun... I'm sorry, did Russia invade Ukraine with flowers and candy?
