Who's your Daddy?

Apparently, she nailed not one, but both identical twin brothers in the same day, virtually guaranteeing that the identity of her daughter's father will never be known.

It's so funny that you should bring this up. Last night I saw a documentary that explored the subject of identical twins and sexual relationships.

It was about this guy and he had like this insatiable girlfriend and no matter how often he :daisied: her it would never be enough but then it turned out that she was actually two of her, her and her identical twin sister, and one of 'em found out and then tried to outdo the other sister with ever more obscure acts and then the other sister found out too and then did the same thing so the guy rushed from kitchen table to the back of his car all the time without realising there were two of them but then in the end he found out and they all agreed to his proposal to only have threesomes from then on.

It was really interesting, sociologically and psychologically speaking. It was all a bit explicit I thought, but then, it was a Swedish production and I figured that well, maybe those Scandinavians are a bit more...'open' than us.

Contributing in more ways than 1

Nothing wakes you in the morning like African corruption.

[Banquo's Ghost]

I'm probably being dull, but what exactly is weird about that story?

Or did you mean to pop it into Pindar's UN thread as an example of why corrupt dictatorships are unlikely to provide the UN with good peacekeeping troops?

[Marshal Murat]

The picture says that Pakistan is contributing to UN Peacekeeping Efforts, and that is ironic since they (UN troops) are taking bribes for re-supplying the disarmed militias.

Humorous to me at least. Weird? Maybe. Comedic, yes.

What do you mean I can't walk around naked in Berlin?

Naked U.S. tourist shocks German city

Wed May 23, 2007 9:54AM EDT

BERLIN (Reuters) - A naked American tourist raised eyebrows when he went for a walk through a German city and told police he thought this was acceptable behavior in Germany.

"We have been having unusually hot weather here lately but, all the same, we can't have this," a spokesman for police in the southern city of Nuremberg said Tuesday. "The man said he thought walking around naked was tolerated in Germany."

Many Germans enjoy nude sunbathing which is allowed in public parks. The 41-year-old was carrying his clothes in a bag when police stopped him Monday evening after complaints from pedestrians.

The tourist was not under the influence of drugs, said police. They made him get dressed and pay a 200 euro ($269) deposit pending his investigation for indecent behavior.

Well you can in the UK if you try hard enough

The man dubbed the naked rambler has finally completed his marathon trek from Land's End to John O'Groats.
Stephen Gough, 44, from Hampshire, finished his walk after seven months, much of which was spent in jail.

Naked tramp if you ask me, but still, I salute his perseverance.

At some point in the not too distant future, a moth will take flight in the hills of northern Pakistan, and flap towards a suspected terrorist training camp.

But this will be no ordinary moth.

Inside it will be a computer chip that was implanted when the creature was still a pupa, in the cocoon, meaning that the moth’s entire nervous system can be controlled remotely.

The moth will thus be capable of landing in the camp without arousing suspicion, all the while beaming video and other information back to its masters via what its developers refer to as a “reliable tissue-machine interface.”

The creation of insects whose flesh grows around computer parts – known from science fiction as ‘cyborgs’ – has been described as one of the most ambitious robotics projects ever conceived by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (Darpa), the research and development arm of the US Department of Defense.

Cry havoc and release the Moths of War!



Something for the terrorists to get into a flap about.

[Banquo's Ghost]

Even better, the mere presence of a can of Raid will provide the pretext for full scale invasion of any nation on the basis of interfering with US military technology.

On the plus side, a lot of existing weaponry will be mothballed.

Alas, the one weakness of the mothcam is that they get easily distracted by units of light infantry.

I give up. I can't hold a candle to you two.

These puns are dreadful, I really should flame the lot of you.

I'm sure they wouldn't mind that.
They'd just flame back with puns galore!

Ah BKS, you have no powers here. Your puny threats don't bother me. My Pun Fu is stronger than yours.

What would Jesus spray? World's first "Christian perfume," named, aptly, Virtue.

The testimonials are particularly ... weird.

My experience with the fragrance VIRTUE® came at a time when it was critical for my physical, spiritual and emotional health. As a single mom I had a sense that my energy was winding down. It seemed as if the more exhausted I became , the more responsibility tracked me down like a heat seeking missile.

In my life, I have always had a heart for serving the needs of the community and though my passion was still in tact, my energy was not. In this world we are taught that to be successful one must run the race and finish first. But for me, God was asking me to be still...this was very hard.

I believe that often times the hustle and bustle of this fast paced life can lead you like a whirlwind to a destination that may end in devastating circumstances unless we deliberately take the time to be still and count our blessings. Wherever we are , whatever we are doing, we must all take a moment to be still. Asking God to meet us wherever we are for the stillness of knowing his peace, is only a moment away.

I wear VIRTUE® because of what it symbolizes in purity of intention, thought and deed. It is a beautiful fragrance with a higher meaning that I believe most human beings aspire to.

I have given it to my loved ones and strangers who have asked "What is that beautiful fragrance you are wearing?" The 6 years of biblical research to birth this fragrance is not only fascinating, but also an opportunity to share testimony with others.

The best use so far has been spraying it in my home, my children's room or on their pillow before they sleep. To all of my sisters in Christ I say: A mother's heart is like a deep well that bursts forth in tears when her children are in pain, who prays endlessly for love to guide them to a righteous path and blesses the broken road because their journey will end in strength, faith and a victorious life.

Ultimately, it is my desire to be a pleasing fragrance to God and that is why I wear VIRTUE® and have shared my testimony.

Those are Old Testaments Lemur.

I guess after putting it on, one is obligated to say "In Jesus' name, we spray. Amen."

[Louis VI the Fat]

I give up.

At least the Frontroom moths are putting up a fight.

Here here Louis. And to think -the Backroom is a darker forum too.

To be frank, incensed is how I am feeling now.

World's first "Christian perfume," named, aptly, Virtue

Sure to be popeular.

[Gregoshi]

EA, do you mean popeular with the papal in general or just Christian women? I have to express concern that Roamin' women in department stores bestowing their Virtue upon unsuspecting customers does not conjure up a very Christian image. Seems like a Cardinal sin to me.

I wonder if the church gets one scent of the prophets from this spiritual praygrance.

[Louis VI the Fat]

So I guess God has scent His only Son

[Gregoshi]

Hey, Zeus?
