Plastic rice nightmare in Nigeria

[dlevere]

Fake plastic rice—totally convincing by sight, but potentially lethal to eat—has gone from urban legend to horrifying controversy in Nigeria, where a shipment of the stuff was intercepted and is undergoing tests. Is it plastic, or just really weird rice? Somehow everything's gotten murky and confusing.

That's still happening in Nigeria? Seems like I read about that probably over a year ago. I'd assume anybody that tries making it would just melt the plastic and release toxic plastic fumes into the air.

what database? The links down.

Fixed even though it's in the wrong thread. The computer was being a retard and not allowing me to copy and paste, and I have this piece of garbage HD TV that can't display things correctly so I mistook the capital "B" for the number "8" because it crushes text making me miss many things. Nearly impossible at times to spot l, I, t, i, f, !, |, and 1. 3, 8, 0, O, and B can look identical on this hunk of junk, I always need to severely oversize all fonts to read anything.

Ok, so it's artemis database. I think thats the ps2 hacking thing.

Now that I think about it, I've never labeled it PS3 before. I should probably rename it if I ever update it again.
