MEXICANS SAW A DIFFERENT SUPERMOON

GUADALAJARA, Mexico (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – From California to Vermont, Americans were treated Sunday to a once-in-a-blue-moon natural phenomenon : a lunar exclipse featuring a super, blood-red moon.

Facebook, Twitter and Instagram were immediately filled with moon photos taken by proud netizens — photos that will remain on the Internet in perpetuity.

But south of the U.S. border, Mexicans were reporting a different heavenly sighting — that of an image of Donald Trump smacked in the center of the super moon.

Was this a sign from God, or a billionaire’s manipulation of nature?

We are investigating reports that Trump paid big bucks to have his image projected on the moon through laser technology, as a way to re-ignite his war on Mexicans and immigrants.

PENSACOLA, Florida (The Adobo Chronicles®) – The District Attorney’s office in Pensacola is preparing to file charges against a puppy who shot and wounded a Florida man yesterday.

The man who tried to shoot seven puppies was himself shot when one of the dogs put its paw on his .38-caliber revolver’s trigger.

Jerry Allen Bradford, 37, was holding two puppies — one in his arms and another in his left hand — when the dog in his hand wiggled and put its paw on the trigger. The gun then discharged, the sheriff’s report said.

Bradford said he decided to shoot the 3-month-old shepherd-mix dogs in the head because he couldn’t find them a home, according to the sheriff’s office.

In the charge statement, the city attorney said that the puppy did not have a gun permit which is a violation of Florida state law. A bail bond for the puppy has not been set as of this morning.

CALIFORNIA RANCHERS DISCOVER PIG WITH FLUORESCENT BLUE FAT, FILAMS SHOWCASE FIRST BLUE LECHON

September 11, 2015 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

MORGAN HILL, California (The Adobo Chronicles®) – When ranchers in Morgan Hill, California shot and cut open a wild hog, they realized what they had in front of them was much more than your average swine. The pig’s insides were cotton-candy blue color.

The ranchers said that the animal is healthy and normal in every way—except for its blue-colored fat, which runs throughout its entire body.

Scientists at Stanford University who examined the pig weren’t sure whether the blue color was a result of some bacterial or environmental contamination, or the result of a genetic defect. So they asked a Filipino American family in Palo Alto to cook the pig the Filipino way — lechon (roasted pig).

Lo and behold, while the lechon looked as normal as a pig roasted in an open-fire pit, blue hues seemed to permeate through the pig’s skin, making for a first in the history of lechon-making: a blue lechon!

Other than the patches of blue, those who did partake of the lechon dinner attest to the fact that it tasted much like the regular Pinoy delicacy: crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside.

The scientists then determined that the pig’s blue fat was genetic and the pig was fit for human consumption.
