Donkey Jailed in Mexico

May 25th, 2008 No Comments

This is a perfect post for muteDonkey.  Apparently, the Mexican jails have room for more convicts, even if they are animals.  Read and enjoy:
Mexican jail releases disruptive donkey
I guess it makes sense.  With all the bad guys from Mexico in our jails, I imagine theirs are pretty empty.

Email Disclaimer Fun!

November 4th, 2007 No Comments

equus asinus:  donkey, ass.
I was contemplating the URL stolidusEquusAsinus.com, but it just doesn’t have the same ring to it as muteDonkey.com!
