Boston police dismantle meth factory; MIT student dies at hedonist sex party

N never advocated drug use or sex orgies. He led a very tame life. He was professor of classical philology after all. He may have had sex only a few times, and that with prostitutes when he was a young man. (From whom he probably caught the syphilis that drave him mad.) To say that N advocated licentiousness of any kind is silly and ahistorical.

"Throughout the day, agents wearing protective gear worked in the building, at one point carrying out a plastic tub containing three or four rodents."

Rumours floating around the net atleast since the early 90's:)

[Slings and Arrows]

Found it.

[MidlandDesperado]

It was not until the last paragraph that the author mentioned "gay".

I am in awe. That's fantastic work. My compliments to the artist!

I second that emotion.

Hamsters? Dude must have run out of gerbils.

[little jeremiah]

ROTFLOL!

Couldn't help it.

Sick ----. And to think of all the moral relativist/libertarians on FR.

It was not until the last paragraph that the author mentioned "gay".

'Course! Can't be making the homosexual deathstyle out to be anything other than something wholesome, healthy and happy! ...you know, everything it's not.

The love that dare not speak its name...

Your understanding of Nietzsche is woefully lacking. Eternal Recurrence had nothing to with what you propose. Nietzsche was this-wordly, and eternal recurrence was the greatest affirmation of this fact. Since this world, being the only existence, was a world without beginning or end, time was infinite; however, matter was not infinite, so the ways in which it could be arranged were finite, meaning that everything would occur again, and over an infinite period of time there would be repetition of everything that came before, all the pain, all the suffering, and all the joy. Your life would be relived an infinite number of times by an infinite number of yous. A weak man, when presented with this truth, would turn away from it. He would deny it, would invent for himself some escape, some other-world. Only the strong man, one on his way to becoming an overman, would so love this world and this life that he would continue to love this world even if there was no end to the suffering.

He also said hamsters had been found in the basement.

Where's PETA when you really need them?

[USAFJeeper]

Wow! Lemmiwinks and a Pulp Fiction tie in on one thread!

(Bring out the gimp)

*sighs*

Just a couple of thoughtful critiques - and 25 comments on hamsters...

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

"A man whose employer rents space in the building described “group bondage parties” and other “weird (expletive).” He also said hamsters had been found in the basement."

Hamsters?

But no...gerbils, eh?

Sad case. It reads like something from The Onion.

[Petronski]

I think in this case it might also have been the love that dare not squeak its name...

[little jeremiah]

Seriously sick **** pingout tomorrow. Unless I already pinged myself.

Overwhelmed with the Tsunami of Sewage lately.

[SamAdams76]

How about them hamsters?
