I pass the Butter Jesus twice a day on my commute to/from work. Fo'
shizzle.
(I still think Butter Jesus looks like he's sinking into a pool of
quicksand, but I'm assured he's actually melting; whatever)
The scary thing is that the Solid Rock Church (which has the Butter
Jesus outside of it) looks *way* too much like a compound for my
tastes. I wonder how many members actually get to leave the
premises...

Can butter smell of microwave popcorn be toxic? One major company removes
the key chemical.

A guilty pleasure. Those of us who indulge in the company vending machine's
microwave popcorn all love that first big whiff of buttery smell. But can
that indulgence destroy your lungs? One of the country's largest makers of
microwave popcorn isn't taking any chances. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer
has the full story here.
Pop Weaver, one of the largest producers of microwave popcorn, is removing
a controversial chemical flavoring agent from its products.
The chemical -- diacetyl -- adds buttery taste. Government worker safety
investigators have linked exposure to the synthetic butter to the sometimes
fatal destruction of the lungs of hundreds of workers in food production and
flavoring factories.
And while Pop Weaver has dropped diacetyl from its product, it remains in
widespread use in thousands of other consumer products, including the
microwave popcorn brands Orville Redenbacher and Act II.
Despite the worker safety findings -- and despite scores of jury decisions
and settlements awarding millions of dollars to workers who sued after
having their lungs destroyed by exposure to diacetyl -- neither the Food and
Drug Administration nor the Consumer Product Safety Commission have
investigated. The FDA years ago declared the chemical safe for consumption.
Labels on almost all products containing it call it a flavoring and only
rarely do the labels mention diacetyl.
The only government investigators to examine whether consumers are at
risk -- whether diacetyl is released when consumers pop corn in their home
microwaves, and if so, how much -- is the Environmental Protection Agency.
But to the frustration of many public health workers, the findings of the
EPA's study -- which began in 2003 and was completed last year -- have been
released only to the popcorn industry.
In part, it was the EPA's study that led Pop Weaver to reformulate its
flavoring without diacetyl, said Mike Weaver, chief executive officer of the
80-yearold family-owned company.
Nope, found out how they can afford a campus like that: The SRC
requires members to give copies of their W2's to the Church, thus to
ensure that members tithe their full 10%.
Sounds pretty damn cult-like to me...
I am so sick of that Jesus guy I could shit.

> great surrealist wit,
That's the giant Jesus statue east of I-75 between Dayton and
Cincinnatti, ain't it? I've been wanting a good copy of that for the
obvious Gimp creation that would become of it.
Same type of crap that the church my brother belongs to, another one
with a giant campus at 16 & Schoenherr in Sterling Heights. Back in the
mid-90s, before my final acceptance of "Bob" and during my divorce, he
tried to talk me into joining. Trust me, I ran away screaming.
Probably just off his meds again. Or back on. I never see his posts
other than the occasional fragment that someone posts, so wtf do I know?
well $30 is 10% of most Subgeniuses' net value too
