Look Ma, No Hands

Police in New Zealand stopped a motorist who was driving 121 kmh (72 mph) only to discover that the driver had no arms. The man drove using one foot to steer and one to push on the gas. He was born without arms, and never had gotten a driver's license.

Now, here in Texas, he would have gotten away with it, because the police would never stop someone driving just 2 mph over the speed limit. Now, if it was in the city, well, that's another matter.
You Can Bet It Wasn't a Party at Chucky Cheese


A man woke to the sound of six gunshots just after his alarm clock went off at 7:00 am in Seattle. When he looked out of his peep hole, he saw people stagger out of the rent house across the street. Then, out comes a man with a shotgun. A police officer in the neighborhood also heard the shots, and confronted the man holding the shotgun. The man then turned it on himself and fired.

Okay, now tell me, just what kind of a party is going on at 7:00 am? Uh, not one that started at 6:00 am. Must have been one going on all night. There's a reason Chucky Cheese isn't open 24 hours.
After All He's the President's Son

Charlie Sheen has declared that he doesn't believe the government's version of events on 9/11. Charlie was appearing on Alex Jones' radio show (that should tell you something), when he said that the government's story sounds more like a conspiracy theory than the conspiracy theories. If Charlie says so, then it must be true, because he's the President's son, right?
Whew! At Least It Wasn't in Texas

Once again a headline grabbing murder in an otherwise "Christian" home has taken place. Only for once, it didn't happen in Texas. Man, we needed a break. We've certainly had our share of women that kill all their kids. At least, Mrs. Winkler wasn't confused about God telling her to kill her kids. God was just telling her to kill her hubby. My own theory is that the Reverend Winkler was molesting one (or more) of the daughters.

Isn't it a little odd though that when men do this kind of thing, they usually turn the gun on themselves? What is it about the women that won't let them do that?

Severe Sinus Infection


I finally heard the results from my CAT scan. They say I have a severe sinus infection. I'm to take antibiotics for 3 weeks, and if it's not better, they'll refer me to an ENT specialist. ENT doesn't really mean extra nasal torture, but it might as well from what I hear.
But What Are They Going to Do with Them?

The state of Karnataka in India will pay almost €200 for each baby girl born to families below the poverty line. The idea is to cut down on abortions of female fetuses that is so prevalent there. But, my question is, okay, after they´ve paid that much for them, what are they going to do with them?
La Mujer Que No Puede Olvidar

Scientists at the University of California have found a woman with perfect memory. Not only does she never forget, she can't forget a-ny-thing. How about that? Never forget anything. No, don't think I want that uh..."skill." Thank you very much. Sometimes forgetting is good - very, very good.

Just Because I Can
Symbolic Divorce

That's one way to phrase it. A 40 year old man in Hamburg appeared at a local gas station with his wife's head in his hands. He put the head on the ground and asked the attendent to call the police. He was under the influence of alcohol and drugs at the time of his arrest. He willingly surrendered to police, but later tried to break away and injured two officers in the process. He said that TV and radio had ordered him to kill his wife.

The last sentence of the article says, "Halshugningen skulle være et udtryk for en symbolsk skilsmisse." That means something like "beheading could be an expression of a symbolic divorce." Not in quotes, no attribution, just the journalist's opinion, I guess.
Don't Fuck with Me or I'll Bite Your Tongue Off

Or rather, fuck me and I'll bite your tongue off. Emily Mescher of Celina, Ohio is free on $10,000 bond after being charged with assault for biting her lover's tongue off during a particularly hot sex act. Her uh...boyfriend...Chad Ringo (what a good name) was taken to the hospital in nearby Lima. Doctors there tried to reconstruct 30% of his tongue. The bit off part was never found...yes, they think Emily swallowed it. Chad wants the uh...missing part sewed back on even if it could be retrieved by...um "natural channels."
Muslim Jeans Are Here!


You can now buy gin-u-wine Muslim jeans called Al Quds. They even have a distinct brand marker on the watch pocket in Arabic script no less. They're produced by the Italian firm Udine. Wait! Italian? Uh...I thought that's where the heart of Christendom was. They're buying infidel jeans just because there's some Arabic script on them? By the way, Al Quds means Jerusalem. I smell a conspiracy here.
Augustine About to Blow His Top


Not St. Augustine, but the Alaskan island named Augustine. See, it's a volcano. Just click on the link and be transported to Alaska to watch in real time. By the way, Alaska is -10 hours GMT.

Early Early Retirement?

I have become so frustrated and disgusted at my job that I'm seriously investigating what it would take for me to retire. Yes, retire. I'm just fed up! Now, I may have to be fed up for a while longer, but I won't work one day longer than I have to. God help us all in the meantime.

Duh!



The United Nations ranks Mexico as number 106 out of 120 countries with the worst water quality. Duh!
How About Some Toilet Water Instead?

And I don't mean cologne. Ekstra Bladet, a Danish tabloid, commissioned a test on ice served in restaurants. It turns out that ice served in soft drinks from the restaurants checked had more bacteria that water from their toilets.
Civil War

Former Iraqi premier, Ayad Allawi, said on BBC television today that civil war in Iraq is a fact. Why is that news? Well, because both the British and American defense ministers say that there is no civil war in Iraq. Could this be like that "there is no insurgency" when there really was one about 3 years ago? I'm just sayin'.
