I woke up this morning to 2 new issues, anyway i thought this was pretty hilarious....

New Alderon Decides:
Bacterias on the Dinner Table?
The Issue

In a bid to provide a new revenue stream for New Alderon's Beef-Based Agriculture industry, it has been suggested that Bacterias could be added to the menu.
The Debate

1. "The fact is, the Bacteria population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson Buffy Dodinas. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have Bacteria kebabs, Bacteria pies, Bacteria-on-a-sticks--the possibilities are endless! Let's not pass up this golden opportunity to provide a feast, if you will, for our economy."
[Accept]

2. "I agree that something needs to be done about Bacteria over-population," says random passer-by Bill McAlpin, "but eating them? That's kind of gross. Let's just shoot the ones we have to and shovel their bodies into ditches like normal."
[Accept]

3. "I am shocked and appalled!" declared SPCA President Charles Hamilton. "If anyone needs to be culled, it's us humans. The Bacterias were here first, remember? We need to take this as a sign to get our industry--agriculture in particular--to back off. The Bacteria is part of what makes New Alderon a great nation!"

Ewww that sounds disgusting :D.

Hope I never get that one but if I do it'll be dismissed quicker than an English cricketer batting in a ashes series :D.

Where he has bacteria you will have your native animal (his is bacteria).

I have, but as my deletion message said, I was half asleep and it did'nt click. Guess I was just too grossed out by imagining bacteria crawling over a dinner table for it to sink in :D.

I apologise for my silly mistake :).

Bacteria on the dinner table? Try having terrorists on your dinner table:

The Issue

In a bid to provide a new revenue stream for Qwertyuiopistan's Beef-Based Agriculture industry, it has been suggested that terrorists could be added to the menu.

The Debate

"The fact is, the terrorist population is out of control," says Beef-Based Agriculture spokesperson Anne-Marie McAlpin. "We have to do something about them anyway, so why not market them as tasty snacks? We could have terrorist kebabs, terrorist pies, terrorist-on-a-sticks--the possibilities are endless! Let's not pass up this golden opportunity to provide a feast, if you will, for our economy."

"I agree that something needs to be done about terrorist over-population," says random passer-by Prudence Trax, "but eating them? That's kind of gross. Let's just shoot the ones we have to and shovel their bodies into ditches like normal."
[Accept]


"I am shocked and appalled!" declared SPCA President Freddy Thiesen. "If anyone needs to be culled, it's us humans. The terrorists were here first, remember? We need to take this as a sign to get our industry--agriculture in particular--to back off. The terrorist is part of what makes Qwertyuiopistan a great nation!"
[Accept]

(Qwertyuiopistan is a puppet nation of mine, BTW)

Just look at your tongue in the mirror after a night of sexual activity, drinking or kebab consumation.... There will be a mass of dead bacteria on your tongue, brush this towards the tip of your tongue with a toothbrush then spit it out... this is what bacteria looks like... It tastes vaguely like month old piss

Something more like this:
http://www.ynest.com/peng004.gif
natto (http://www.answers.com/topic/natto-1) or soy beans feremented in the precence of the bacillus natto (http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=2oeili6rtubjk?method=4&dsid=2222&dekey=Bacillus+natto&gwp=8&curtab=2222_1&sbid=lc02b)
Bacillus natto is a rod-shaped Gram-positive spore-forming, obligately aerobic bacterium used commercially in the production of natto, a traditional Japanese dish consisting of fermented soybeans. Some authorities consider B. natto to be a sub-species of the bacterium Bacillus subtilis, in which case the name is rendered as Bacillus subtilis natto.

(This is a moderately common food stuff in Japan. :( )

It would look like the blob and if your nation doesn't do anything about the overpopulation of bacteria, it will start devouring your people :)
