The Western black rhino was declared extinct today, and the top story on Yahoo News was Suri Cruise's new haircut.
[Edit: The link above was to an old news item, sorry, and now I can't find the correct one. Curse you, interwebz! However, in trying to find it, I did learn that they've found footprints of the Sumatran rhino someplace where they thought it was extinct, so the news isn't all bad. Still...]
Humanity, I weep for you. And yes, that's a poem, so it counts as one of my 100 Things. *sigh*

Last I checked, her parents chose their professions, she didn't get to choose her parents or their high profile profession.

Just as bad as the Italian women that picked a plant to extinction because it was effective birth control. That was in roman times when, hello, there was agriculture....
