I learned the term "slaughterman" is the correct job title for men who slaughter. I wonder if there are any slaughterwomen?<br /> Just read a press release about Islamic Services of America (Cedar Rapids) winning an award for their Halal collagen casing.

It's amazing and ridiculous and all kinds of awesome. A reality show about a high school paper. Genius! This could only get better if the debate team was involved. completely off topic, I’d like to encourage everyone to watch “The Paper” on MTV.com. It’s amazing and ridiculous and all kinds of awesome.
