On a slightly more serious note, does it annoy Muslims at large when one Muslim like the councilman in this Scottish town hops up and makes a wide and far-reaching declaration on behalf of all Muslims, making the entire group look to be intolerant, when in reality it may simply be the lone individual that's intolerant?

SARATOGA SPRINGS -- A 19-year-old man dressed as a penis was arrested for disturbing a high school graduation today at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. Calvin Morett of 337 Pyramid Pine Estates allegedly interrupted the Saratoga Springs High School graduation by marching across SPAC's stage in an inflatable 6-foot penis costume while diplomas were being given out, Saratoga Springs Police Sgt. Sean Briscoe said.

Morett purchased the full-body costume and sprayed parts of the 5,000 people in the crowd with Silly String, Briscoe said. (http://timesunion.com/AspStories/story.asp?storyID=699285)

Man rips head from Hitler wax figure in Berlin 2 hours, 47 minutes ago

BERLIN (Reuters) - A man tore the head from a controversial waxwork figure of Adolf Hitler on the opening day of Berlin's Madame Tussauds museum on Saturday, police said.

Just minutes after the museum opened, the 41-year-old German man pushed aside two security men guarding the exhibit.

"Then he went over to the figure and ripped off the head," a police spokesman said.

The man tore off the head in protest at the exhibit, the spokesman added. The police were alerted and arrested the man, who did not resist. He was being investigated for assault and damaging property.

The waxwork figure of a glum-looking Adolf Hitler in a mock bunker during the last days of his life was criticized as being in bad taste. A media preview of the new branch of Madame Tussauds on Thursday was overshadowed by a row over the exhibit.

Critics said it was inappropriate to display the Nazi dictator, who started World War Two and ordered the extermination of Europe's Jews, in a museum alongside celebrities, pop stars, world statesmen and sporting heroes.

Dressed in a grey suit, the figure of Hitler gazed downwards with a despondent stare, his arm outstretched on a large wooden table with a map of Europe on the wall of his gloomy bunker.

About 25 workers spent about four months on the waxwork, using more than 2,000 pictures and pieces of archive material and also guided by a model of the "Fuehrer" in the London branch of Madame Tussauds where it is standing upright.

It is illegal in Germany to show Nazi symbols and art glorifying Hitler and the exhibit was cordoned off to stop visitors posing with him.

Unobtrusive signs asked visitors to refrain from taking photos or posing with Hitler "out of respect for the millions of people who died during World War Two." Camera surveillance and museum officials were meant to stop inappropriate behavior.

Institutions such as the foundation for Germany's central Holocaust memorial site condemned the idea of the exhibit as tasteless, saying it had been included to generate business.

The wax figure is the latest in a gradual breaking down of taboos about Hitler in Germany more than 60 years after the end of the war and the Holocaust in which some six million Jews were killed.

The 2004 film "Downfall" provoked controversy as it portrayed the leader in a human light during the last days of his life and last year a satire about Hitler by Swiss-born Jewish director Dani Levy was released in Germany.

Competitors first added a mountain bike to the bog-snorkelling proceedings in 2005 and it has been growing in popularity ever since.

Those who accept the challenge use a bike prepared with a lead-filled frame and water-filled tyres to ensure grip on the pond bottom. The snorkeller-cyclist wears a lead weight belt to avoid floating off the bike.

A US company claims it is ready to build a microwave ray gun able to beam sounds directly into people's heads.

The device – dubbed MEDUSA (Mob Excess Deterrent Using Silent Audio) – exploits the microwave audio effect, in which short microwave pulses rapidly heat tissue, causing a shockwave inside the skull that can be detected by the ears. [...]

MEDUSA involves a microwave auditory effect "loud" enough to cause discomfort or even incapacitation. Sadovnik says that normal audio safety limits do not apply since the sound does not enter through the eardrums.

"The repel effect is a combination of loudness and the irritation factor," he says. "You can’t block it out."

Childhood peace crusader pleads guilty to shooting

Tuesday, July 8, 2008

A Boston man who as a child implored the governor of Massachusetts to "stop the violence" has admitted to fatally shooting another man.

Jason Meeks pleaded guilty Monday to voluntary manslaughter in the 2001 shooting death of Alvaro Sanders. The 27-year-old Meeks also pleaded guilty to wounding another man in the shooting and to witness intimidation. He was sentenced to 17 years in prison.

Prosecutors say Sanders was not Meeks' intended target.

Meeks had been charged with first-degree murder, but a jury deadlocked in his trial earlier this year, prompting prosecutors to negotiate the plea agreement.

In 1991, when he was just 10, Meeks wrote a letter to then-Gov. William Weld asking him to "stop the violence" and "put the bad people in jail."

FORT WORTH - A man performing community service delivered drug-laced cookies to police departments in both Blue Mound and Lake Worth on Monday, authorities said.

At least three officers at the Blue Mound Police Department consumed some food that came from a basket of cookies and assorted candies delivered by Christian Phillips, 18, on behalf of Mothers Against Drunk Driving. At the time, Phillips was working for MADD as part of ordered community service.

It was discovered the cookies contained LSD after staff at Blue Mound thought the cookies smelled of marijuana and sent them for testing.

Lake Worth Police Department, who was warned by Blue Mound, arrested Phillips when he came into their department to deliver another basket.

At last, a vegan strip club. Finally! (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/27/fashion/27vegan.html?_r=1&oref=slogin)


Two things that you can find a lot of in Portland, Ore., are vegans and strip clubs. Johnny Diablo decided to open a business to combine both. At his Casa Diablo Gentlemen’s Club, soy protein replaces beef in the tacos and chimichangas; the dancers wear pleather, not leather. Many are vegans or vegetarians themselves. [...]

Casa Diablo is just the latest example of selling veganism with a “Girls Gone Wild” aesthetic to draw the ire of vegans who complain that such tactics may get people to pay attention to animal cruelty, but for the wrong reasons. In Los Angeles, some frown at the scantily clad Vegan Vixens — a kind of animal-loving Pussycat Dolls — who perform songs like “Real Men Don’t Hunt” at fund-raisers for animal welfare groups.

And many vegans who want to publicize cruelty within the fur industry are nonetheless dismayed by the new “Ink, Not Mink” advertising campaign from peta2, the youth arm of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. It features members of the Internet-based pinup group the Suicide Girls, sporting little more than tattoos and body piercings.

This isn’t the first time animal rights activists have been accused of sexism. Many vegans have long criticized PETA for using naked celebrities in its advertising campaigns and for staging stunts like naked protests.

NASA Collects Urine for Space Toilet Work (http://www.space.com/news/ap-080716-orion-waste.html)



WASHINGTON — The No. 1 need right now for some of the builders of the nation's next spaceship: Lots of No. 1.

Space program contractor Hamilton Sundstrand is seeking urine from workers at the Johnson Space Center in Houston as part of its work on the new Orion space capsule that would eventually take astronauts to the moon, according to an internal memo posted on the Web site Nasawatch.com.

The need is voluminous: 30 liters a day, which translates into nearly 8 gallons. Even on weekends.

....

NASA has a long standing tradition of collecting samples from its workers to help design better space toilets because "you can't make fake urine," Lewis said.

The Windsor Locks, Conn.-based company building the Orion toilet needs the large volume of urine (about the daily output of 30 people) to work on urine acidity issues, said spokesman Leo Makowski. The memo seeking daily contributions from July 21 to July 31 was not meant to go public, he said.

The war of the Condoms (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/7511065.stm) :inquisitive: is about to begin between Japan and Korea!


Island row hits Japanese condoms


Advertisements promoting Japanese condoms have been removed from Korean underground trains amid a rekindled territorial dispute.

The action was taken following complaints from passengers, a Seoul Metro spokesman told AFP news agency.

"If the territorial dispute with Japan over Dokdo had not flared up again, such complaints would not have been lodged with us," said Kim Jeong-hwan.

Dokdo is the Korean name for islets known as Takeshima in Japan.

Both Korea and Japan say they have a historical claim to the islands, and the issue has been a persistent irritant in relations.

This week Korea recalled its ambassador to Tokyo after new teachers' guidelines produced in Japan reaffirmed the claim to ownership.

Now it has emerged that about 200 ads for Japanese condoms - bearing the strapline "No. 1 in Japan" - have been taken down from Korean trains.

The islets, which are roughly equidistant from Korea and Japan, are small, but lie in rich fishing grounds which could also contain large gas deposits.

But the dispute also taps into lingering grievances over Japanese colonial rule of Korea until 1945.

George Bush's last G8 meeting

The American leader, who has been condemned throughout his presidency for failing to tackle climate change, ended a private meeting with the words: "Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter."

He then punched the air while grinning widely, as the rest of those present including Gordon Brown and Nicolas Sarkozy looked on in shock.

Ferret legging (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferret_legging) -- sport of kings.


The sport involves putting two ferrets inside one's trousers, having first tied one's trouser cuffs firmly to one's ankles, lest the ferrets escape. The competitor then cinches his belt tightly, and the clock is started. Competitors cannot be drunk or drugged, nor can the ferrets be drugged. In addition, competitors cannot wear underpants beneath their trousers, and the ferrets' teeth cannot be filed or otherwise blunted. Competitors can touch the ferrets, but only from the outside of the trousers.

An excellent article (http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780679647027&view=excerpt) on the subject:


"Come on, Reg," I said. "Do they bite your-you know?"

"Do they!" he thundered with irritation as he pulled up his pants. "Why, I had 'em hangin' off me-"

Reg stopped short because a woman who was with me, a London television reporter, had entered the cottage. I suddenly feared that I would never know from what the raging ferrets dangle. Reg offered my friend a chair with the considerable gallantry of a man who had served in the Queen's army for more than 20 years. Then he said to her, "Are ye cheeky, luv?"

My friend looked confused.

"Say yes," I hissed.

"Yes."

"Why," Reg roared again, "I had 'em hangin' from me tool for hours an' hours an' hours! Two at a time-one on each side. I been swelled up big as that!" Reg pointed to a five-pound can of instant coffee.

I then made the mistake of asking Reg Mellor if his age allowed him the impunity to be the most daring ferret legger in the world.

"And what do ye mean by that?" he said.

"Well, I just thought since you probably aren't going to have any more children . . ."

"Are you sayin' I ain't pokin' 'em no more?" Reg growled with menace. "Is that your meaning? 'Cause I am pokin' 'em for sure."

The new law includes strict storage requirements that opponents of the handgun ban say violate the Supreme Court ruling. Gun owners must keep their pistols at home, unloaded and either disassembled or equipped with trigger locks. Weapons can be loaded and used only if the owner reasonably believes that he or she is in imminent danger from an attacker in the home.

The city also has continued to ban most clip-loaded semiautomatic handguns -- which dominate the firearms market -- by including those weapons in its broadly written ban on machine guns, which was not at issue in the Supreme Court ruling.

Newsham said if anyone shows up to register a semiautomatic pistol that fits the city's definition of a machine gun, police will confiscate the gun but will not immediately arrest the owner. But he said police reserve the right to investigate and eventually file charges.

I hope the idiot child fenty and his cretin friends in the city administration are politically destroyed and the full force of the law and judgement of the courts brought down upon their empty skulls.

It turns out that finally The Life of Brian might find its way into the Walisian town of Aberystwyth, now that Judith Iscariot is the new mayor.

New role for Python star: lifting ban on Life of Brian (http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2008/jul/20/localgovernment)


She is immortalised on celluloid for her role in what is repeatedly referred to as one of the funniest films of all time - not to mention its famous nude scene. But these days Sue Jones-Davies, who starred as Judith Iscariot, fiery revolutionary and girlfriend of the messiah in Monty Python's Life of Brian, has a more sedate political role - as the new mayor of Aberystwyth.

Three weeks into the job, the first thing she is looking to do is to repeal the mid-Wales town's near 30-year ban on the film. Jones-Davies, a Plaid Cymru councillor, who teaches yoga and drama in the town, said it was time for the matter to be reconsidered. 'I think times have moved on a bit and I can't imagine people would still want it banned, although there may be a few who would,' she said.

Japanese company is marketing a DVD of women who stare at you. That's it. I guess they blink from time to time, too. Here's a sample (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A12dH72757U). The company's web site offers over 50 women you can choose from for your staring pleasure.

Want to be stared at by a granny (http://avex.jp/miterudake/miterudake.html)? We've got her. An underage schoolgirl (http://avex.jp/miterudake/miterudake.html)? Here's your disc, sir.

According to the website clast (http://clast.diamondagency.jp/en/):


Top-selling record label Avex has discovered a new way to reach extremely anti-social sets — the NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training), and the most reclusive of the recluses, the hikikomori. Most believe that these groups’ refusal of social participation stems from their lack of social skills. The hikikomori almost never socialize with other people and prefer to spend their time in their bedrooms, completely locked away from the world. [...]

Avex is trying to reach these groups with a new DVD — part "corporate social responsibility," part traditional content delivery, and part talent blog/model promotion. The DVD is called Miteiru dake (Just Looking), and it features various talent/models just staring straight ahead. That’s right, the models on the DVD do very little other than stare straight at the camera. According to the website, the idea is to get young males who aren’t used to socializing with women to become more accustomed to making eye contact and/or handle the fact that a sentient being sits across from them and awaits interaction. The DVD hopes to cure those afflicted with shyness so that they may rejoin society.

This is a News of the Weird Update. If you recall the earlier post (https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showpost.php?p=1963675&postcount=2293) about non-lethal microwave weapons that bake a scream inside your skull, we have good news (http://spectrum.ieee.org/jul08/6476).


New Scientist magazine recently reported that Sierra Nevada Corp., based in Sparks, Nevada, plans to build what it calls a nonlethal microwave ray gun with the ability to beam irritating sounds into people’s heads. But experts in the underlying biophysics say it cannot work: the device would kill you well before you were bothered by the noise.

The gun, which is being built by Lev Sadovnik at Sierra Nevada, would take advantage of a phenomenon known as the microwave auditory effect. When microwaves are delivered in short pulses, the cochlear tissue in the ear expands. That expansion is heard as an audible click to anyone receiving the radiation, a sound much like that of two rocks being hit together underwater. The company says that the device, called MEDUSA (for “mob excess deterrent using silent audio”), could be used for crowd control.

However, experts say the gun wouldn’t work as advertised. There is no way the ray gun could deliver sound loud enough to be annoying at nonfatal power levels, says Kenneth Foster, a bioengineering professor at the University of Pennsylvania who first published research on the microwave auditory effect in 1974.

“Any kind of exposure you could give to someone that wouldn’t burn them to a crisp would produce a sound too weak to have any effect,” Foster says.

Bill Guy, a former professor at the University of Washington who has also published on the microwave auditory effect, agrees. “There couldn’t possibly be a hazard from the sound, because the heat would get you first,” Guy says.

Last month a parliamentary committee was convened to discuss a draft proposal of the Russian government's Government Strategy In The Sphere Of Spiritual And Ethical Education bill, the details of which were leaked to The Moscow Times. The newspaper subsequently reported that, among other things, the draft bill dubbed the musical movements a "dangerous teen trend" and called for emo and goth websites to be regulated and young people dressing like emos or goths to be banned from entering schools and government buildings.

The newspaper interviewed one of the bill's authors, Igor Ponkin from the Russian Interior Ministry's Public Oversight Council. Ponkin called emo a "social danger" and "a threat to national stability" and said the bill is a reaction to teen suicides such as the tragic death of British teenager Hannah Bond.

"This type of behaviour is a crucial part of emo ideology," said Ponkin. "Of course there are emo teens who just listen to their music. But our actions are not directed at them but rather at those who also hurt themselves, commit suicide and promote those acts."

The bus, with 37 passengers and a driver aboard, was travelling from Edmonton, Alberta, to Winnipeg, Manitoba.

"All of a sudden, we all heard this scream, this bloodcurdling scream," passenger Garnet Caton told CBC television.

"The attacker was standing up right over the top of the guy with a large hunting knife - a survival, Rambo knife - holding the guy and continually stabbing him... in the chest area," Mr Caton added.

The attack continued as passengers fled the bus and waited for police on a desolate stretch of the TransCanada Highway near Portage la Prairie, Manitoba.

Mr Caton, the bus driver and a trucker who had stopped at the scene boarded the vehicle to see if the victim was still alive.

"When we came back on the bus... he was cutting the guy's head off and pretty much gutting him up," Mr Caton said.

The attacker ran at them, Mr Caton said, and they ran out of the bus, holding the door shut to prevent him getting out.

"He calmly walks up to the front [of the bus] with the head in his hand and the knife and just calmly stares at us and drops the head right in front of us," Mr Caton said.

"There was no rage in him ... It was just like he was a robot or something," he added.

Update on the sea creature/hell demon/dessicated dog/photoshop hoax (http://www.newsday.com/news/printedition/longisland/ny-lijoy315783175jul31,0,7319518.column):

The Montauk Monster: Legend or latex?

Joye Brown
July 31, 2008

'If this could be certified as the Suffolk version of the Loch Ness monster," County Executive Steve Levy said, "we'd sell tickets and get a lot of revenue."

Levy was talking about the Montauk Monster, a fresh fable of a beast with the hue of a boiled lobster, the beak of a dinosaur and jaw crammed with pointy, white teeth.

Is it real? Or suburban legend?

Two locals swear it's real. And swear that they saw - and photographed - the beast sometime after rough surf pitched it up to Ditch Plains beach on July 12. "We were looking for a place to sit when we saw some people looking at something," Jenna Hewitt, 26, of Montauk, said yesterday.

She and three friends, including Rachel Goldberg, 29, also of Montauk, walked over to see what was going on.

"We were kind of amazed," Hewitt said, "shocked and amazed." She said she borrowed Goldberg's digital camera, aimed and fired off two shots. "We didn't know what it was," she said. "We joked that maybe it was something from Plum Island."

It didn't take long for East Hampton to start buzzing about the reported find. Quickly, skeptics and believers alike offered up - and continue to offer up - myriad theories.

"We kept hearing it from everywhere," said Rick Murphy, editor of The Independent, an East Hampton newspaper. "I'd pick up the phone and somebody would say, "It's a sea turtle without its shell," he said. "It's a dog; it's Satan; people can't stop talking about it."

On July 23, The Independent published a story by Kitty Merrill under the headline, "The Hound of Bonacville." And a photograph, that editors decided to run in black and white because it's too disturbing. "Flies cavorted upon the naked corpse," Merrill wrote. "The once-robust figure, covered with soft and pettable fur, was, witnesses noted with dread, utterly absent its coat, save the occasional individual strand sticking out, as if it had been skinned by an evil tormentor."

By Tuesday, the beast - now morphed into full-fledged Internet viral monster, lumbered onto Gawker.com, under a headline: GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR HELL DEMONS.

Hell demons? In the Hamptons?

Larry Penny, the town's resource director, doesn't think so. (At least about the Montauk Monster.)

"It could be a dog," he said. "Or, looking at the picture, we thought it could be a raccoon that was skinned and has its upper jaw missing."

But William Wise, director of Stony Brook University's Living Marine Resources Institute, after looking at the photo and consulting with a fellow biologist (who knows land creatures), disagrees.

He knows what it isn't.

A raccoon. ("The legs appear to be too long in proportion to the body.")

A sea turtle. ("Sea turtles do not have teeth.")

A rodent. ("Rodents have two huge, curved incisor teeth in front of their mouths.")

He said the general body shape looks like a dog or other canine ("Coyote?"). But that the "prominent eye ridge and the feet" don't match.

He said the feet and face look "somewhat ovine" - that would be like a sheep - but sheep don't have sharp teeth.

Wise's best, educated guess: "A talented someone who got very creative with latex."

In other words, a fake - which would place Wise with the skeptics. (Many of whom believe the image was manipulated with computer software.) And from where I sit, and after checking with Newsday's photo staff, I'd vote fake, too. Because the sun would have to be in two places at the same time to get a shadow in one direction on the body and in another direction on the head. (Maybe that's why the monster also appears to be flipping the bird.)

But Wise also offered what he called a next-best guess: "A dog or coyote that was diseased and has been in the sea for a while."

Which is it? Without the body, nobody can say.

Hewitt said she knows where the Montauk Monster rests.

"A guy took it and put it in the woods in his backyard; he has a big backyard," she said. "The thing is rotting there."

But she wouldn't say who; wouldn't say where.

No matter.

The beastie's a legend now. Fodder for campfire tales, T-shirts and stuffed animals.

It's alive!

Doctors warn against "designer vagina craze (http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=080801145404.zfnnx1i6&show_article=1)."


Australian doctors have raised concerns about clinics offering vaginal cosmetic surgery, warning the trend towards so-called "designer vaginas" may be exploiting vulnerable women.

The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists said procedures being offered included "vaginal rejuvenation, revirgination, designer vaginoplasty and G-spot amplification". [...]

"The real risks of potential complications such as scarring, permanent disfigurement, infection, dyspareunia and altered sexual sensations should be discussed in detail with women seeking such treatments," it said.

The college said women should understand that there were a large number of variations in the appearance of normal female genitalia.

Guilty for KFC and other fastfood (http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/08/07/food.guilty.plea.ap/index.html)


PORTLAND, Oregon (AP) -- A New York man who pleaded guilty to murder in Oregon in exchange for buckets of fried chicken will get calzones and pizza to go with his life sentence.


Tremane Durham agreed to plead guilty to murder -- but only if he got a break from jail food.

Tremayne Durham, 33, of New York City, admitted last month that he fatally shot Adam Calbreath, 39, of Gresham, in June 2006. Durham wanted to sell ice cream and ordered an $18,000 truck from an Oregon company. He later changed his mind, but the company wouldn't provide a refund.

The would-be ice cream man came to Oregon and killed Calbreath, a former employee of the company, while looking for its owner, authorities said.

Durham agreed to plead guilty to murder -- but only if he could get a break from jail food. The judge agreed and granted Durham a feast of KFC chicken, Popeye's chicken, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, carrot cake and ice cream.

After Wednesday's sentencing, Durham was to get the rest of the deal -- calzones, lasagna, pizza and ice cream, his defense attorney confirmed. They will pay the tab.

Durham also got married Wednesday in a civil ceremony at the Portland courthouse. The wedding to Vanessa Davis, 48, also of New York City, was not part of the plea deal that will give Durham a chance for parole after 30 years.

Deputy District Attorney Josh Lamborn said Multnomah County Judge Eric Bergstrom made the right call in allowing the unusual plea agreement because it saved the expense of a trial and possible appeals.

Filipino Military makes moves to remove MILF threat (http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/MAN223382.htm)

Philippines attacks Muslim rebels in south 10 Aug 2008 05:18:57 GMT

(Adds one soldier dead, three wounded, hundreds flee homes)

MANILA, Aug 10 (Reuters) - The Philippine military attacked Muslim rebels holed up in Catholic farmlands in the south on Sunday, prompting hundreds to flee their homes and raising tensions on the eve of elections in the region.

The government had given some 800 Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) guerrillas a 24-hour deadline on Thursday to withdraw from villages in North Cotabato province but most defied the government order.

Soldiers and armoured vehicles moved in on Sunday after they said rebels opened fire, killing one soldier and wounding three.

"We are only taking actions against the breakaway MILF group that defied the orders of the ceasefire panels," said Major-General Raymundo Ferrer, a division commander in the area.

A spokesman for the MILF, which is supposed to be observing a ceasefire, said they did not start the fighting.

"We don't know what will happen next but this will certainly have an adverse impact on peace talks," said Eid Kabalu.

Local officials said hundreds of residents from five villages in North Cotabato province had fled their homes when fighting intensified. There were about 6,500 people staying in temporary shelter areas before hostilities erupted on Sunday.

A 10-year-old boy was rushed to hospital after he was hit by an army truck bringing troops to the frontlines.

There have been sporadic clashes between MILF fighters and government troops before and analysts do not expect Sunday's fighting to trigger an all-out war.

Neither side has the resources for an outright victory and after nearly 40 years of conflict with more than 120,000 deaths both sides are war-weary.

The fighting comes on the eve of regional elections in a six-province homeland for Muslims in the south, the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), and after thousands of majority Catholics in the south protested Manila's plans to sign a territorial deal with the MILF.

The deal, brokered by Malaysia and temporarily halted by the Philippines' Supreme Court last week, was meant to expand the six-province homeland and give a future government in the south broad economic and political powers.

Stung by criticism it was abandoning Catholics in the south, the government warned on Thursday it would take action against what it said was an MILF attack on the villages in North Cotabato.

The country's interior secretary said rebels had torched houses, looted farms and caused more than 6,500 people to abandon their homes and farms, forcing hundreds of farmers in nearby Catholic areas to arm themselves. (Reporting by Manny Mogato; Editing by Carmel Crimmins and Valerie Lee)

I'm sorry, but when you combine the words "homemade vibrator" and "drug charges," nothing good is going to happen (http://www.madisonjournaltoday.com/archives/389-Danielsville-man-with-homemade-vibrator-arrested-on-drug-charges.html).


According to the incident report, as Nix got out of his patrol car, he noticed that Wilkes had a “large lump in the front of his blue jeans, with wires running from inside his pants and hanging down dragging the ground” as he walked toward him. There was also a syringe hanging out of Wilkes’ pants pocket.

As Nix talked with Wilkes, he removed the syringe from his pocket and asked him if he had any other illegal substances. Wilkes told him the object inside his pants was a “homemade vibrator” and he then removed it by pulling on the wires. He told the deputy that the wires were hooked to a small battery in order for the vibrator to work. “Further examination of the item revealed that a small motor had been removed from an item and placed inside a pill bottle, and then wrapped in a piece of pipe insulation before being placed inside his pants for a pleasurable sensation,” the report stated.

The syringe tested positive for methamphetamine and a further search of the residence and outbuildings yielded a quantity of methamphetamine, additional syringes and other paraphernalia.

Inflatable Faeces (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7558129.stm) knocks out powerlines



Inflatable faeces raises a stink

A giant inflatable dog turd brought down a power line after being blown away from a Swiss museum.

The artwork, entitled Complex Shit, was carried 200 metres on the night of 31 July, reportedly breaking a greenhouse window before it landed again.

The sculpture, by American artist Paul McCarthy, was equipped with a safety system that should have deflated it.

The fake faeces has been returned and will remain on display at the Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern until October.

McCarthy is well known for his inflatable artworks, two of which - Blockhead and Daddies Bighead - were displayed outside the Tate Modern in London in 2003.

The Zentrum Paul Klee, which opened in 2005, houses a collection of about 4,000 works by the noted Swiss painter.

Jade Goody, who was at the centre of last year's Celebrity Big Brother race row after being accused of bullying Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty, is to appear in the Indian version of the reality TV show.

And in a further twist, the Indian version of the reality show - called Bigg Boss - will be fronted by Shetty.

Goody is set to fly out to Mumbai today in preparation for the show, which begins at the weekend.

She will be paid £100,000 for her appearance, according to today's Sun.

"Jade wasn't sure when she was first approached because she was worried about how the Indian housemates and public might react," a source told the paper.

National Archives releases OSS personnel files, Julia Child apparently poisoned Nazis with her delicious sauces. (http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/08/14/spies.revealed.ap/index.html) :inquisitive:

Among the more than 35,000 OSS personnel files are applications, commendations and handwritten notes identifying young recruits who, like Child, Goldberg and Berg, earned greater acclaim in other fields -- Arthur Schlesinger Jr., a historian and special assistant to President Kennedy; Sterling Hayden, a film and television actor whose work included a role in "The Godfather"; and Thomas Braden, an author whose "Eight Is Enough" book inspired the 1970s television series.

Other notables identified in the files include John Hemingway, son of author Ernest Hemingway; Quentin and Kermit Roosevelt, sons of President Theodore Roosevelt, and Miles Copeland, father of Stewart Copeland, drummer for the band The Police.

The release of the OSS personnel files uncloaks one of the last secrets from the short-lived wartime intelligence agency, which for the most part later was folded into the CIA after President Truman disbanded it in 1945.

Penguin to receive Norwegian knighthood. No, really (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/2563239/Penguin-at-Edinburgh-Zoo-may-pick-up-Norwegian-knighthood.html).


After a decades-long military career which has seen him rise to the rank of Colonel-in-Chief, Nils Olav has learnt to take promotion in his stride.

But when he waddles out to inspect his troops at a special parade at the city's zoo he is expected to pick up a knighthood.

Members of the Norwegian King's Guard visit to the zoo to honour the distinguished bird every few years when they are in the city for the military tattoo.

The practice dates back to the early 1970s when a young lieutenant called Nils Egelien came up with the idea of having one of its king penguins as a regimental mascot and honorary member.

Over the years the bird has achieved repeated promotions and has been decorated for his long service.

But now the loyal penguin is in line to receive a title, with the personal approval of Norway's King Harald V.

Although guardsmen are remaining tight-lipped about what the latest gong will be, rumours of a knighthood are rife.

The latest promotion will be bestowed at a special parade in which Nils will be invited to inspect a guard of honour and receive a fanfare from buglers.
