Germans Court Martialed After Making Sausages With Human Blood

Germany: Two air force sergeants based at Fürstenfeldbruck with an "interest in cookery" are to be court martialed after making Blotwurst sausages using breadcrumbs, onions, spices, bacon - and their own blood.

The pair were reportedly trying to increase the scale of their productions and had asked for blood donations from other servicemen and their families. Pictures of the cooking process were posted online by one of the two.

The pair were only caught when another soldier approached military officials and said, "I have been asked to give blood for sausage-making and I want to know if this is against regulations."

Internet Clinton critics are accusing them of deliberately darkening an image of Barack Obama in their latest attack ad. Shown on the popular website DailyKos are identical images of the same picture with one having an obviously darker tone.

According to Jay Carson, a Clinton spokesman, the darkening was a result of a common production technique known as "saturation-desaturation". Mr. Carson said both campaigns use this technique and no hidden agenda was behind the Clintons doing so.

Bloggers have compared the Clinton's darkening of Obama's picture to Time Magazine doing the same thing with an image of OJ Simpson after his murder arrest in 1994. There have been no statements pertaining to the allegations from the Obama camp.
