Boehner Spokesman: Auto Industry Revival Is ‘Nothing To Celebrate’

Boehner Spokesman: Auto Industry Revival Is ‘Nothing To Celebrate’

Let's ignore for a second the minor detail that Chrysler and GM going belly up would have also wiped out the suppliers that Ford relies on, resulting in Ford also going out of business. Let's also ignore that John Boehner openly dreams of killing off one of the last American manufacturing industries. No, let's focus on the fact that John Beohner would happily put over a million people out of work and trigger a Depression to prove a point. One that he's desperately wrong on, but he'd do it anyway.

Where are the jobs, Mr. Speaker?

Heavy Metal Sunday got distracted.

Very good ballgame today.

Cannibal Corpse is an American death metal band from Buffalo, New York. Formed in 1988, the band has released eleven studio albums, one box set, and one live album. Throughout the years the band has been established, they have had little radio or television exposure, although a cult following began to build behind the group with the release of albums such as 1991's Butchered at Birth and 1992's Tomb of the Mutilated which both reached over one million in worldwide sales by 2003, including 558,929 in the United States, making them the top-selling death metal band of all time in the US, and second worldwide.

The members of Cannibal Corpse were originally inspired by thrash metal bands like Kreator, and Slayer, as well as other death metal bands such as Morbid Angel, Autopsy and Death. The band's album art (most often done by Vincent Locke) and its lyrics, which draw heavily on horror fiction and horror films, are highly controversial. At different times, several countries have banned Cannibal Corpse from performing within their borders, or have banned the sale and display of original Cannibal Corpse album covers.

But here is Cannibal Corpse - Hammer Smashed Face

A couple of very strange questions I need answered.

I'm working on a story. Don't mind me.

1. How many eggs would you normally find in the ovaries of a health woman ih er twenties?

2. After death, how long do you have to harvest those eggs before they become unusable? The death in question comes from the failure of the long-sleep system on a slower-than-light colony vessel. So assume a fairly sterile environment with no insects or scavengers getting at the body.

Don't worry, this is not the main focus of the plot, I just need the right numbers to plug in when the time comes.
