Amazing isn't it? When I did firearm training it was drilled into us that you never, ever point your rifle at anything that you didn't want to shoot. Especially when you think the gun is unloaded.
Always clear the breach and look into it to make sure that there's no round lurking in there.
Still I hope he's learned his lesson. :whip:

Looney's teaching method involved him placing the gun to his head and asking his girlfriend if the gun would go off.
Did she get the last one right or not? Doesn't say...
you never, ever point your rifle at anything that you didn't want to shoot
Simplest safety rule in the world init? Assume every gun is loaded, never point the damn thing at anything you don't intend to shoot, never pull the trigger to check if it's loaded visually check the breech for a clear and safe weapon.

I have to pull the trigger on my handgun to take it apart for cleaning. Even after dropping the mag and racking the slide a couple of times, it still gives me the willies to pull that trigger, and I've got it aimed at a floor corner. At the head? Didi mau! mau!

Mick told ABC Online: "In Sydney's south-western suburbs I've just woken up to a glowing red window! Thought it was Armageddon! Either that or South Korea [sic] had nuked us!"

Woman survives a week in the wilderness by sucking water from her own hair (http://www.lemondrop.com/2009/09/22/woman-survives-week-in-wilderness-by-sucking-water-from-her-hair/)
While driving on a mountain road near Central City, Colo., Cynthia swerved to avoid a herd of deer. Her car rolled off the road and 350 feet down a steep hillside. She broke eleven ribs, cracked her vertebrae and punctured her lung. [...]
She was alone in the woods for five days, basically crawling on her face, through a cold front of rain, sleet and hail. This moisture would prove to be life-sustaining, as she sucked on her hair to keep from becoming completely dehydrated during her ordeal.
Eventually she managed to crawl 450 feet away from the mining operation and attracted the attention of the workers, who were only there on a fluke since the mine was supposed to be closed that day -- by calling out. They found her with a swollen face and a mouth full of dirt from dragging herself with her face on the ground.
Mafia crocodile seized by the coppers (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/8270872.stm)
Italian police say they have seized a crocodile they believe was used by a suspected mafia boss to terrorise people into paying protection money.
The reptile was 1.7m (5.5ft) long and weighed 40kg (88lb). It was found during a weapons search at the man's home in the southern town of Caserta.
It was kept on the terrace and fed live rabbits in full view of neighbouring homes, police said.

The new species, the Eastern Pacific black ghostshark (Hydrolagus melanophasma), was described in the international journal Zootaxa.
'It’s a big weird looking freaky thing,' said co-author Doug Long of the California Academy of Sciences.
'They have this club on the top of their head with spikes. People think it’s used for mating.
'It’s like a little mace with little spikes and hooks and it fits into their forehead. It’s jointed and it comes out. We’re not sure if it is used to stimulate the female or hold the female closer.

Gym Weights Cut From Man's Genitals (http://www.thebostonchannel.com/health/21102204/detail.html)
Firefighters had to be called to an emergency room in Newport Beach to help save a man's penis when it got stuck in the hole of a steel dumbbell, Costa Mesa newspaper The Daily Pilot reported.
Costa Mesa police said the man was attempting to enlarge the size of his penis. Authorities said the man's organ had swollen to five times its normal size.
The man initially refused treatment but officials at the Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian explained to the man if he waited any longer to remove the fastener the flesh in his penis would die.

Prisioner Drunk on Alcohol Gel (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/dorset/8272799.stm)
A Dorset prison has removed anti-bacterial hand gel pumps, which contain alcohol, after an inmate reportedly got drunk on them.
The gel was made available on Monday at HMP The Verne in Portland to help combat the spread of swine flu.
But the Prison Officers Association (POA) said within hours there had been an incident with an intoxicated inmate.
The Prison Service said the pumps were removed as a "precautionary measure" and an investigation was under way.

Orlando strip club gives seniors flu shots (http://whtq.com/blogs/bubba/2009/09/orlando-strip-club-gives-senio.html)
Amid the shiny stripper poles, strobe-lit stages and scantily-clad performers at Rachel's Gentlemen's Club, you'll find Barbara and Sylvia, two old beauties who come for the free food and flu shots -- and stay for the ambiance.
"I love it, I want to know where the girls got those sexy stockings that stop up here. I need some of those," said Sylvia.
Every year around this time, the flesh den in the small town of Cassleberry, north of Orlando, offers the shots in a setting way more exciting than a sterile doctor's office.
And the return of the complimentary lunch buffet has geriatrics coming in droves. [...]
The gray hairs don't seem to mind the skin show.
"I think it's great. I wish I had some of these figures like these gals do, they're beautiful girls," Becker said.
If you're hoping to get the shot from a stripper in a sexy nurse outfit, no dice. The shots are administered by registered nurses in the club's VIP room.

That is very old news. And being a Russian myself, the title makes perfect sense. We have that firmly-entrenched Soviet habit of abbreviations executed in this manner. GazProm, KomBat, UkrSoc, RusNeft, etc. They all follow the same, invariable pattern. And it is Niggaz. NigeriaGaz (Nigerian Natral Gas).
I do not see why we have to stoop down to the level of Western political correctness, deviate from our accepted form of business and check every dictionary in the world lest one of our names resembles an obscenity in some other language. This is an American problem that they have racism, not ours, to the contrary of what the Internet made it appear.

Heh, I remember I had a psychology teacher in high school who served as the county prison director (or whatever you call the head of a state prison. He had a gargantuan display of improvised weapons he confiscated from the prisoners in his classroom. He was also fond of telling me stories of his prison experience, as I sat right by his desk. Half of his stories were about to what degree the prisoners would go to get high. Sniffing petrol, sniffing gold, sniffing paint, drinking paint thinners, etc...
@Lemur:
Is that not bound to scare away the primary customers of the club? Or the 20-early 30-year olds? The senior citizens part that is. What sort of youthful adult wants to see that while he is savouring a stripper or receiving a lap dance?

Shurely shum mishtake! (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/4942627/Man-stuffed-cat-in-marijuana-bong-to-calm-it-down.html)
Area Schomaker of Lincoln said he never intended to hurt the 6-month-old cat, Shadow.
Sheriff's deputies responding to a domestic disturbance at the residence fined the 20-year-old Schomaker on suspicion of misdemeanour animal cruelty on Sunday after catching him smoking marijuana from a boxlike contraption that had the cat stuffed inside its 12-inch by 6-inch base.
Schomaker's girlfriend, Marissa Vieux, also was fined for animal cruelty because she didn't try to stop Schomaker, Sgt Andy Stebbing said.
Vieux, 22, said she took in the cat about two months ago from friends who abused it.
Schomaker said the cat would bite and scratch them but he did nt want to discipline it by swatting or squirting water at it. He said they did not bring it to an animal shelter because they feared it would be put down.
So Schomaker said he decided to use the makeshift pipe because he had heard about people calming their pets by blowing marijuana smoke in their faces.
"I know for sure this isn't the first time someone has done this," he said. "I'm just the first one to get caught."
He said he put the cat in the bong a total of three times and it seemed to calm the cat.
"Every time we took her out she would pretty much just lay down and proceed to clean herself and act like a stoned person," Schomaker said.
The bong had a foot-long piece of garden hose coming out of a Plexiglas box, with the top secured with duct tape. Schomaker said the pipe was constructed in such a way that the cat did not get immersed in smoke to the extent some might believe.
Schomaker said law enforcement and animal specialists lectured him about why what he did was cruel, and that he learned from his mistake

Highway crash—with killer bees (http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,26139563-13762,00.html)
https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v489/Lemurmania/Swarm1.jpg
MORE than 20 people have been taken to hospital in Turkey after a van carrying bee hives hit a truck, angering the bees who attacked crash victims and rescuers.
Six people were injured in the crash near the south-western Mediterranean resort of Marmaris and around 20 others, including medics and police, were taken to hospital with bee stings.
Professional beekeepers had to be called in to help evacuate the victims, some of whom had to wait for more than an hour to be extracted from among the mangled hives.
Sure, a cop had sex with a cow, but can you prove the cow didn't like it? (http://www.truecrimereport.com/2009/09/nj_cop_robert_melia_taped_havi.php)
Since bestiality is not technically a crime in New Jersey, investigators charged Melia with animal cruelty. And this, believe it or not, is where our story gets even weirder. Under state law, a prosecutor must prove the animal was tormented to in cruelty cases. Which led to a rather unusual argument in the court room...
Burlington County assistant prosecutor Kevin Morgan was left to assert that forcing a cow to give you [oral sex] -- especially a young, innocent calve, which is what Melia fancied -- fit the definition of cruelty. "I think any reasonable juror could infer that a man's penis in the mouth of a calf is torment," he told the judge. "It's a crime against nature."
But that's when Judge James J. Morley went a little weird on his own. He waxed philosophically about the mental powers of cows, noting that they couldn't actually talk -- a breakthrough observation -- and thus had no way of expressing whether they liked giving degenerate cops [oral sex] or not. And given that the jury had no way of reading the five cows' minds -- yes, Melia is a serial cow rapist -- there's no way the prosecution could prove the cows were tormented.
Melia walked.

Zenit St. Racistberg begs to differ, but that is another topic entirely.
I did not say we do not have racism. It is simply that we lack the prejudice against blacks, although of course, that is more due to our lack of prolonged contact with them as opposed to tolerance. I meant that it is not our problem that in US white-on-black racism is a major issue.
St. Petersburg FC club incidents are an emerging issue, a response to the significant numbers of African immigrants in Russia. Almost all news articles noted that when covering the controversy. We have several groups of rather well-entrenched, anti-immigration nationalist thugs who loathe all foreigners. Otherwise, I have never heard any Russian voicing negative opinions on black people.

"Kill Obama" Facebook Poll Investigated By Secret Service (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/28/kill-obama-facebook-poll-_n_302090.html)
WASHINGTON � The U.S. Secret Service is investigating an online survey that asked whether people thought President Barack Obama should be assassinated, officials said Monday.
The poll, posted Saturday on Facebook, was taken off the popular social networking site quickly after company officials were alerted to its existence. But, like any threat against the president, Secret Service agents are taking no chances.
"We are aware of it and we will take the appropriate investigative steps," said Darrin Blackford, a Secret Service spokesman. "We take of these things seriously."
The poll asked respondents "Should Obama be killed?" The choices: No, Maybe, Yes, and Yes if he cuts my health care.
(http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/28/kill-obama-facebook-poll-_n_302090.html)
Yeah, let us forget the First Amendment which should protect satire (although it does not protect the violent ovethrow of the gov't, as various Supreme Court cases shown as a precedent). Also, of course, let us forget that "serious business" and "teh Internets" (aka Internet, Net, World Wide Web, InterWebz, Interwebs, webs, web, The Tubes, not like trucks, etc) are mutually exclusive... Finally, let us assume people, especially teenagers on a social networking site are actually serious for as much as a single moment.
That said, we had a bloke in our school who sent a letter to President Bush saying he was going to kill him. I am not joking - I swear on my honour the Secret Service arrived at our school, carried out an investigation, and the student disappeared for several weeks. Now he is on their blacklist. For life. Once again, I am not making this up.

Needless to say, we speak here not of any scenario involving carelessly-roosting chiropterine boudoir intruders inadvertently stifled by human female tophamper in a comedo-tragic cleavage mishap or similar.

The short skirts, skimpy tops and leggings by fashion brand Unconditional are not designed for the feminine frame, but for men. Unsurprisingly, the leggings are jokingly referred to as "mantyhose", despite bearing little similarity to pantyhose. [...]
Unconditional's designer Philip Stephens says his leggings for men can be worn any which way, to make a statement or to provide warmth as the days shorten.
"You can wear them under shorts or full length or three-quarters. People will buy them as an alternative to long johns, which only come in white and go up under your armpits. We do a range that go from pink to black." [...]
But what to wear mantyhose with?
"You could wear a tuxedo jacket, T-shirt and then the skirt and mantyhose too," says Selfridges buyer Adam Kelly.

I hope they do it scientifically. (http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/sep/29/workers-porn-surfing-rampant-at-federal-agency/)
Porn surfing rampant at U.S. science foundation
The problems at the National Science Foundation (NSF) were so pervasive they swamped the agency's inspector general and forced the internal watchdog to cut back on its primary mission of investigating grant fraud and recovering misspent tax dollars. [...]
For instance, one senior executive spent at least 331 days looking at pornography on his government computer and chatting online with nude or partially clad women without being detected, the records show.
When finally caught, the NSF official retired. He even offered, among other explanations, a humanitarian defense, suggesting that he frequented the porn sites to provide a living to the poor overseas women. Investigators put the cost to taxpayers of the senior official's porn surfing at between $13,800 and about $58,000.
"He explained that these young women are from poor countries and need to make money to help their parents and this site helps them do that," investigators wrote in a memo.

It's my favorite time of year, the Christmas in October, also known as the IgNobel Prizes (http://arstechnica.com/science/news/2009/10/ig-nobel-prizes-honor-tequila-knuckle-cracking-panda-poop.ars)!
The peace prize went to researchers from the University of Bern. Stephan Bolliger, Steffen Ross, Lars Oesterhelweg, Michael Thali, and Beat Kneubuehl won for a paper entitled "Are full or empty beer bottles sturdier and does their fracture-threshold suffice to break the human skull?" [...]
The rest of the awards had a distinctly biological slant, including the physics award. That went to Katherine Whitcome, Liza Shapiro, and Daniel Lieberman for "figuring out why pregnant women don't tip over." It's actually a bit more involved than that, as the researchers identified the specific anatomical features that compensate for a shifting center of mass, then trace them all the way back to the Australopithecus species. Hopefully, they'll be able do a similar analysis on the newly announced Ardipithecus skeletons, which seem to be even less specialized for standing upright.
The actual biology award went to a trio of researchers based in Japan, Fumiaki Taguchi, Song Guofu, and Zhang Guanglei, who were looking for a bacterial species that could rapidly break down organic waste from kitchens. They found it in a place that, in retrospect, makes a degree of sense: giant panda poop. [...]
The veterinary medicine prize went to a pair of researchers, Catherine Douglas and Peter Rowlinson, who used impeccable logic to reason their way to an experiment with a rather amusing conclusion. Starting with the current state of knowledge—"In the scientific literature thus far it is believed that fear of humans is the predominant relationship on dairy farms"—they surveyed the attitudes of farmers towards their herds and found that most consider cows to be intelligent, sensitive animals. It turns out that this sensitivity pays off: "On farms where cows were called by name, milk yield was 258 liters higher than on farms where this was not the case (p < 0.001)."

Ted Williams' head split by monkey wrench? (http://www.enterprisenews.com/sports/pros/x372713443/Book-alleges-Ted-Williams-head-splintered-by-monkey-wrench)
Larry Johnson says in the book “Frozen: My Journey Into the World of Cryonics, Deception and Death” that he watched an Alcor official swing a monkey wrench at Williams’ frozen severed head to try to remove a tuna can stuck to it. The first swing accidentally struck the head, Johnson contends, and the second knocked the tuna can loose. [...]
Johnson says he worked for Alcor for eight months in 2003, first as clinical director then as chief operating officer. He included several photographs in the book, including one of an upside down severed head, not Williams’, that had what appeared to be a tuna can attached to it.
Johnson says Alcor used the cans, from a cat that lived on the premises, as pedestals for the heads.
Williams’ head was being transferred from one container to another when the monkey wrench incident took place, Johnson said in the book. When the head was removed from the first container, Johnson described it.
“The disembodied face set in that awful, frozen scream looked nothing like any picture of Ted Williams I’ve ever seen,” he wrote.
Johnson said that an Alcor employee tried in vain to remove the tuna can.
“Then he grabbed a monkey wrench, heaved a mighty swing, missing the tuna can completely but hitting the head dead center,’ Johnson wrote. “Tiny pieces of frozen head sprayed around the room.”
The next swing, Johnson wrote, knocked the can loose.

After one of the drunk men tried to swing a punch in their direction the cage fighters did what they did best and swiftly knocked the attackers to the floor. Pausing only to pick up their handbags the cage fighters left.

I've met a few transgendered folk, who you definitely would not want to fight. When I first started College in Montana, I befriended one who had been a Green Beret for several years, ran 8+ miles per day, could probably bench press two me easily, and spoke with a shrill voice that sounded like she was cutting glass... not attractive, but only two people had ever given him a hard time, and she spent a night in jail for it, and they both spent a week in the Hospital.

Man misses birth of his child after fondling nurse, police say (http://www.sltrib.com/news/ci_13527317)
Police arrested a Bountiful man early Friday for allegedly groping a nurse who was helping a woman who was in labor with his baby at an Ogden hospital.
Adam Jay Manning, 30, brought a pregnant woman in labor to McKay-Dee Hospital around 3 a.m. Friday, said Ogden police Lt. Loring Draper. When a nurse came to assist the couple, Manning looked the nurse "up and down" and made an observation about her appearance, Draper said.
"He makes a comment about how cute she looks," Draper said.
The nurse ignored Manning and continued helping the woman in labor, who was in a wheelchair and waiting to be taken to a delivery room. Manning continued his pursuit of the nurse, however, by telling her something looked wrong with her neck, Draper said. He attempted to massage the nurse's neck and then reached out and grabbed her breast, Draper said.
The nurse pushed Manning away and moved to the other side of the wheelchair, Draper said. She reported the incident to police, who arrested Manning on suspicion of felony forcible sexual abuse.
He was being held in the Weber County jail.

The woman, identified as Julia E Laack of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, was arrested at her home after she allegedly stole the beef jerky and a lighter from a convenience store. When officers arrived at her house, she began by swearing at her children, then stripped to her underwear.
She told officers: 'You can't arrest me as I am going to be naked now.'
Laack then kicked one of the officers in the groin and spat at another as they attempted to prove that they could, in fact, arrest her.
She then decided to round off her evening by mooning from the back window of the squad car as she was taken to the police station.
Preliminary tests showed that she had a blood alcohol level of 0.112 percent, significantly above Wisconsin's 0.08 percent drink-drive limit.

Also, chimps are different. In 1988, Gary Larson was attacked by an alpha male named Frodo (http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0304/feature4/online_extra2.html). In 2002, Frodo took things further by taking and eating a human baby, an extension of his hunting of Colobus monkeys. After terrorising his community for years, Frodo was eventually overthrown when he became sick, and the other chimps ganged up on him.

Court claim over camel 'beauty' (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/8311277.stm)
A $250,000 compensation claim has been made against Saudi Arabia's oil giant Saudi Aramco for causing the death of a prized camel, local press reports say.
The case, to be heard on Monday, involves a three-year-old black camel which fell into a large hole dug in the desert to store crude oil.
The camel's owner is quoted saying the beast had been entered in one of the region's popular camel beauty pageants.
Instead of "think of the children," it's "think of the camels!" Makes sense.

Thousands of rabbits are culled every year from parks in the Swedish capital's Kungsholmen area, in an effort to protect the trees and shrubbery of Stockholm's green spaces.
The bodies of the dead rabbits are now being frozen, before being taken to a 'bioenergy' plant in Karlskoga, in the central Sweden. There they are burned to provide heat for the Värmland region, Swedish news website The Local reports.
The move has attracted the ire of animal rights activists.

Washington, DC, October 22, 2009 - On behalf of a coalition of U.S. and international musicians, including R.E.M., Pearl Jam, Tom Morello and Jackson Browne, the National Security Archive today filed a series of FOIA petitions requesting the full declassification of secret U.S. documentation on the strategy of using music as an interrogation device at Guantanamo and other detention centers.
The kicker:
"At Guantanamo, the U.S. government turned a jukebox into an instrument of torture," said Thomas Blanton, the Archive's executive director. "The musicians and the public have the right to know how an expression of popular culture was transformed into an enhanced interrogation technique."
I don't get it. Fonzie would relentlessly beat a jukebox for free music. Why is no one pressing charges against him?
I know the real reasons they want these documents: They're looking to charge the government on a per-played basis. Maybe this will kick-start another DRM outrage thread.

Home circumcision of 4-year-old ends in conviction (http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2009/10/16/bc-home-circumcision-charges.html)
A Vancouver-area father has been found guilty of negligence causing bodily harm after botching a home-circumcision attempt on his four-year-old son as part of a spiritual quest to make things right with God.
The bizarre case centred on a battle over the religious freedoms of the former Jehovah's Witness, who was trying to follow a literal interpretation of the Bible after a series of misfortunes hit his family.
During the trial, the B.C. Supreme Court heard that after a bad motorcycle accident in 2002 left both the man and his wife with brain injuries, he began the religious quest that eventually led him to believe that both he and son needed to be circumcised to celebrate Passover.
The man, identified only as D.J.W. to protect the identity of his son, began researching home circumcision on the internet and in the Bible, and by listening to a radio show.

Coyotes Kill, Eat Indie Music Waif (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=114244902)
https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v489/Lemurmania/1_Canada_Coyote_Attacksff_300.jpg
Two coyotes attacked a promising young musician as she was hiking alone in a national park in eastern Canada, and authorities said she died Wednesday of her injuries.
The victim was identified as Taylor Mitchell, 19, a singer-songwriter from Toronto who was touring to promote her new album on the East Coast. [...]
Wildlife biologist Bob Bancroft said coyote attacks are extremely rare because the animals are usually shy.
Bancroft, a retired biologist with Nova Scotia's Department of Natural Resources, said it's possible the coyotes thought Mitchell was a deer or other prey.

New research published in the online journal PLoS ONE demonstrates for the first time that a non-human adult animal species regularly engages in oral sex behavior. While the behavior has been seen in juvenile animals before, this is the first time it has been observed in adult animals. [...]
Prepare to enter the fascinating world of fruit bat fellatio. Though it has been observed previously in bonobos (both heterosexually and homosexually), this behavior generally has been confined to juvenile animals, the authors of the new study note. [...]

Thousands line up for last Big Mac in Iceland (http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSTRE59T3D220091030)
REYKJAVIK - Thousands of Icelanders lined up at McDonald's restaurants to order their last Big Macs before the U.S. fast-food chain abandons the crisis-hit island at midnight Saturday due to soaring costs.
The world's largest fast-food company said earlier this week that all three of its restaurants in Iceland, operated by franchisee Jon Ogmundsson, would shut down October 31. [...]
At lunchtime Friday the outlet's parking lot was full and staff inside were working furiously to keep up with the soaring demand.
"It's my last chance for a while to have a real Big Mac," Siggi, a 28-year old salesman waiting in line, told Reuters.

Man sues deodorant company after failing to pull women (http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/2009/10/31/man-sues-lynx-after-failing-to-pull-in-seven-years-86908-21786843/)
A LUCKLESS romeo has sued cosmetics firm Lynx after he failed to land a girlfriend during seven years of using their products.
Indian Vaibhav Bedi, 26, is seeking £50,000 from parent company Unilever for the "depression and psychological damage" caused by the lack of any Lynx effect.
Court officials in New Delhi have accepted dozens of half-used body washes, shampoos, anti-perspirants and hair gels for forensic tests.
Lynx - marketed as Axe in India - is famous for its saucy ads showing barely clothed women throwing themselves at men.
Vaibhav said in his court petition: "The company cheated me because in its advertisements, it says women will be attracted to you if you use Axe. I used it for seven years but no girl came to me."
Unilever refused to comment on the case.
But India's leading compensation lawyer Ram Jethmalani said: "There is no data to substantiate the supposition that unattractive and unintelligent men don't attract women.
"In fact, some of the bestlooking women have been known to marry and date absolutely ghoulish guys.
"I'd suggest the firm settle this issue out of court."

Clearly what needs to happen is a proper formulation of what the Lemur Effect is. A codification, if you will. Something along these lines:
"If a hundred monkeys on a hundred typewriters will eventually type out Shakespeare, then a single lemur on a single keyboard will duplicate your post."
Or something along those lines. It needs to be formulated as a law.
Seems Google prefers the other term; though a search was to little help when it came to explaning it.

More seriously, I blame modern museums and heritagr sites for that. In a bid to make them more 'relevant' for youngsters, how many ambitious museum directors have not blurred the line between theme park and historical site / museum? They are choke full of multimedia displays that make you wonder why they didn't just put up a website so the kids could've just stayed at home. And interactive displays. And full of Disneyfication too. Meanwhile, themefication has crossed from the theme park to urban projects, malls, and museums. Especially in America, the line between historical site and theme park has become very thin indeed.

In The Variation Of Animals And Plants Under Domestication, Darwin wrote: "I have seen, in the British Museum, a hybrid from the ass and zebra dappled on its hinder quarters." This pre-dates the claim from Colchester Zoo. Darwin continued "Many years ago I saw in the Zoological Gardens a curious triple hybrid, from a bay mare, by a hybrid from a male ass and female zebra." In Origin of Species (1859) Charles Darwin mentioned four coloured drawings of hybrids between the ass and zebra.

Ingemar Westlund, aged 68, found the dead body of his wife Agneta, 63, by a lake close to the village of Loftahammer in September 2008.
He was immediately arrested and held in police custody for 10 days.
Now the case has been dropped after forensic analysis found elk hair and saliva on his wife's clothes.

Firemen and police officers in New Jersey blew themselves up last week in an "orange mushroom cloud of fire and debris" which created a "deafening boom felt miles away". The unfortunate public-safety operatives had been attempting to light a bonfire at a high-school rally.
According to the South Jersey Courier-Post, kids at Vineland High School had planned a "pep rally" at 6:30 pm local time last Wednesday. Weather conditions had been damp, and it seems that local firemen attending the rally "doused" the bonfire - constructed largely of wooden shipping pallets - with "diesel and another accelerant".
Within seconds of the fire being lit, there was apparently a devastating blast which "ejected a flaming pile of pallets into the sky" atop the above mentioned roiling fireball. Fortunately nobody was seriously hurt, though the Courier-Post reports that a firefighter was injured by flying debris and several police officers "sought medical treatment for ear ailments" following the blast.

Prostitutes offer free climate summit sex (http://politiken.dk/newsinenglish/article851637.ece)
COP15 guests are being offered free sex if they produce one of Lord Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard’s ‘no sex’ postcards.
Copenhagen Council and Lord Mayor Ritt Bjerregaard have sent postcards out to 160 Copenhagen hotels urging COP15 guests and delegates to ‘Be sustainable – don’t buy sex’.
“Dear hotel owner, we would like to urge you not to arrange contacts between hotel guests and prostitutes,” the approach to hotels says.
Copenhagen prostitutes are up in arms at the project saying that the council has no business meddling in their affairs, and have now offered free sex to anyone who can produce one of the offending postcards and their COP15 identity card, according to avisen.dk.

Man Arrested for Cocaine in Chicken (http://abcnews.go.com/US/cocaine-chicken-man-arrested-dulles-international-airport/story?id=9252474)
Wagner Mauricio Linares Aragon allegedly likes his chicken with coke, but it's not what you may think.
Customs officials say the 32-year-old Guatemalan citizen was detained at Dulles International Airport in McLean, Va., last Saturday after authorities found 60.4 grams of cocaine inside a fully-cooked chicken he was carrying on a flight coming from El Salvador.
When inspectors examined the cooked poultry, they found a white powdery substance inside two small plastic bags stored inside the chicken's cavity. [...]
In June, authorities arrested a 70-year-old woman flying from Germany for bringing in 220 grams -- about half a pound -- of marijuana taped inside pages of a Der Spiegel magazine.
Her explanation? Anna Maria Faris, a legal permanent resident of the United States, told authorities the magazines were research material for a book she was writing on Germany.

A diminutive, slightly stooped old woman gets on to a train, unnoticed by most of her fellow travellers, who are probably more concerned with whether there is going to be snow on the points at Letchworth, or whether the buffet car is going to run out of shortbread.
The chap on her left is a bit more interested, however. He takes her picture as she makes her way down Platform 11 and gets on the 10.45 from King’s Cross; but then that’s because he is a member of the train staff, and he knows that under the orange and white coloured headscarf, it’s the Queen. (Memo to Royalty Protection Department: if the Queen was attempting to travel incognito, it would probably be best not to opt for the old head scarf disguise. No one in this country wears head scarves any more, except for the Queen, three dowager duchesses and a woman in Knightsbridge).
It is a relatively little-known fact that when the Queen travels to Norfolk for her Christmas break, she travels by scheduled train. It is an unashamedly Royal one, however: not only does it start at King’s Cross, but it takes the Queen all the way to King’s Lynn (by which time, if she were human, she might be wondering: wouldn’t Queen’s Cross be a rather good name for a station? Or Queen’s Lynn? Or Queen’s anything?).
The point remains, however, that it is a regular service used by regular passengers. No helicopters for her, or chartered flights. Although this has been her chosen mode of Christmas travel for a few years now, this was the first year that Buckingham Palace has allowed the press to take a photographic record of the event: perhaps the Queen is planning to send a copy of the picture to the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York.

The Court at Sandringham, 1901: Remarkable scene at St Pancras
It will not have escaped even the most casual of observers’ attention that by the time the Queen was seated in her first class compartment she was looking a trifle short of festive cheer. Glum might even be the word.
Had she forgotten her Senior Railcard? Possibly not. For a monarch who does not carry cash, rail tickets are a fairly remote possibility. (“Yes, Mr Ticket Collector, I’m sure I had when I left home this morning. Let me check my handbag once more. It’s in here somewhere.”)
How about the company? That rather sinister man on her left, perhaps? Has he been eating crisps? Talking loudly on his mobile phone? Putting his feet up on the seat opposite, even?
Oh. He’s her protection officer. She’s probably used to him. Come to think of it, he’s probably got the tickets.
(Should anyone ask, the 95-minute journey costs £44.40 for a first class ticket, and £27.70 for a standard seat. When things get really tight, there is a £16.70 annual saving that can be made without trying).
The one remaining explanation for her sombre expression is one that will endear her to most of her subjects. It’s the family. She is off to Sandringham, where she and the Duke of Edinburgh will be joined by several members of the Royal Family.
Families and Christmas are a tricky combination at the best of times. The fights. The rows over who’s been cheating at charades. The battles for the TV remote.
Then imagine all that, with a house full of Windsors. It’s a life of sacrifice, being Queen.

My God, it's true! At first I thought it was an urban myth:
Archibald Clerk Kerr, 1st Baron Inverchapel PC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privy_Council_of_the_United_Kingdom) (March 17, 1882 in Australia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia) – July 5, 1951) was a British diplomat.
An Australian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia)-born Scot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_people), Clerk Kerr entered the Foreign Service (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_Office) in 1906. He served as Ambassador to China during the Japanese occupation of the late 1930s. From 1935 to 1938, he served as Ambassador to the Kingdom of Iraq (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Iraq). Clerk Kerr was moved to Moscow (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow) in February 1942 where he forged a remarkable relationship with Stalin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Stalin). His work there and at the Big Three Conferences put him at the very centre of international politics.
After the war he was appointed Ambassador to the United States, and was created Baron Inverchapel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baron_Inverchapel) in 1946. An acquaintance of Guy Burgess (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Burgess) and Donald Duart Maclean (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Duart_Maclean)'s superior in Washington, he took their defection to the USSR (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USSR) badly, the shock hastening his early death in 1951.
His personal life has been described as colourful: a close confidant of the Kaiser (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_II,_German_Emperor)'s sister in the years before the Great War, he was also a disappointed suitor of the Queen Mother (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Bowes-Lyon) before his marriage, divorce, and re-marriage, to a Chilean lady 29 years his junior. Politically on the left, a noted wit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wit) and unconventional in manner, he was sometimes suspected of excessive understanding for the Soviet position. His biographer, Donald Gillies, considers rumours of pro-Soviet sympathies highly unlikely.
Clark Kerr is best remembered in the public imagination for a much reproduced note he is said to have written in 1943 to Lord Pembroke (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reginald_Herbert,_15th_Earl_of_Pembroke) while Ambassador to Moscow:

Hypocrites! I couldn't help but notice that all the French quoted in the article had no issue in speaking English for it. :shrug:
Now I know that the Mexicans like their food spicy but when airport scanners identify your traditional mole-sause as an explosive substance you might have been overdoing it, lol.

Do you have any idea what havoc I can wreak with some spicy chili con carne, a few hours of fermentation, and a lighter strategically placed near my behind? :smash:

Also, you people just don't understand France. You Anglosaxon hordes can continue to strip me of my rights, liberty, dignity and language. I'll survive.

French try to 'disguise' wine as New Zealand produce
With a pedigree dating back thousands of years, the vineyards of France have long regarded themselves as the toast of the wine world. But in a humiliating blow to Gallic pride, winemakers have been accused of trying to pass off their bottles as New Zealand produce to cash in on the popularity of brands from down under.

Is that a grave or acute threat? Several hours later, and it's still puzzling my mind. Do I not get your pun, or did you just really pun in French? :2thumbsup:

I was (unsurprisingly) puzzled too. The article sub-title said "grave threat". A little Google found "grave" and "acute" accents in the French language. If there is more to it than that - something with these accents and "threat" perhaps? IA goes deep for this one. :thumbsup:

Just goes to show that five years being tortured taught French wasn't a total waste of time.

It was. If you could have waited a few more years there would apparently not have been a need to learn French at all since the French are -finally- about to read, speak and write English. <_< I can hardly wait.

Unfortunately it was compulsory. After 30 years it has faded quite a bit. Unlike my memories of Miss. Boulanger. :embarassed: :shame: :sweatdrop:

New speed cameras enrage Arizona drivers
An attempt to introduce UK-style fixed speed cameras in America has ended in a public revolt, with motorists binning speeding tickets worth $90 million (£60 million).
Published: 7:00AM GMT 11 Jan 2010
The Arizona scheme, which was the first statewide effort to bring speed camera enforcement to the US, is now on the verge of bankruptcy and could be dumped.
Many Americans, including judges and elected officials, regard the devices as an unconstitutional tax collection method and have flatly refused to pay the fines, the Times reports.
"I see all the cameras in Arizona completely coming down," Shawn Dow, who is leading the public revolt via his chairmanship of Arizona Citizens Against Photo Radar, told the paper. "The citizens of Arizona took away the cash cow of Arizona by refusing to pay." He is now trying to get the cameras banned in November's elections.
Although about 700,000 tickets have been issued since Arizona's 76-camera plan was rolled out last year, a mere $37 million of the $127 million in fines and surcharges has been collected. That is because Arizonans have realised that they can simply ignore tickets sent to them in the post, and the authorities cannot prove that they have received them. Unless the tickets are served in person something Arizona cannot afford to do they become void after three months.
Motorists have shown their opposition to the machines in other ways, placing large cardboard boxes over them, decorating them with sticky notes, attacking them with pickaxes and, in one case, setting off the cameras while standing in front wearing a monkey mask.
The company hired to install Arizona's cameras, Redflex, is under financial pressure, because it invested $16 million upfront in the equipment. But it says it is persevering. "Redflex is in this for the long haul," it said.
South African Crime Lord's Fake Penis Falls Off in Raid (http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/world/crime-lords-fake-penis-falls-off-in-raid/story-e6frfkui-1225817860385)
South African police caught more than they expected in a Cape Town drug raid when a strap-on dildo fell off a suspected crime lord during a search, the Sunday Times reported.
Fat Murphy, feared on the streets of Cape Town's notorious Cape Flats suburb, told a court that he is a hermaphrodite who holds male and female identity documents — one under the name Fadwaan, the other under Hilary.
Police and a tearful Murphy recounted the saga during a bail hearing for Murphy's charges of possession of stolen property, which come on top of earlier charges of kidnapping and intimidation, the paper said.
"I had a vagina that could not be penetrated. But I also had male organs, testes. But I always knew I was really a man and that was what I wanted to be," he told the court, according to the newspaper.
"God created me with both sexual organs. It was God's decision, not mine."
