German bank employee naps on keyboard, transfers millions (http://www.france24.com/en/20130610-german-bank-employee-naps-keyboard-transfers-millions)
https://i.imgur.com/F2q2ouq.jpg
An obviously tired German bank employee fell asleep on his keyboard and accidentally transformed a minor transfer into a 222 million euro ($293 million) order, a court heard Monday.
The Hessen labour court heard that the man was supposed to transfer just 62.40 euros from a bank account belonging to a retiree, but instead "fell asleep for an instant, while pushing onto the number 2 key on the keyboard" -- making it a huge 222,222,222.22 euro order.

Cop Shoots Litter of Adorable Kittens in Front of Screaming Children (http://www.alternet.org/cop-shot-litter-kittens-front-screaming-children)
https://i.imgur.com/ShTprOL.jpg
On Monday in Ohio, animal control Officer Barry Accorti shot and killed a litter of kittens in front of freaked-out children nearby. “He informed [a witness] that shelters were full and that these cats would be going to kitty heaven,” Ohio SPCA Executive Director Teresa Landon told the Sun News.
Landon said the home owner, who had called for help, assumed the officer "would be trapping them or something and taking them to a shelter and they would be humanely euthanized if they were not adopted."
“Instead, he went to his truck and got a gun, which she thought was a tranquilizer gun, and walked around to the back of the house and approximately 15 feet from her back door shot and killed the 8- to 10-week-old kittens.”
The stunned observer alerted the Ohio SPCA to the officer's actions, and the animal rights group responded with a Facebook campaign to "expose" the behavior and call for accountability.
“Her children were upstairs in view of the windows. They started screaming and crying because they heard the gunshots. They started screaming, ‘Mommy, he’s killing the kittens,’” Landon said, “It’s heartbreaking… There is no excuse for it. It’s absolutely shameful that someone with the title of humane officer would do this.”
North Ridgeville Police Department Chief Mike Freeman released a statementdefending Accorti, who the Ohio SPCA has demanded be fired and charged with animal abuse.
“The cats were located within the wood pile and euthanized,” Freeman said, “The cats were removed from the wood pile and taken from the residence.”
He decided Accorti’s “actions were appropriate,” and will not “impose any disciplinary measures for the incident.”
Little Girl Successfully Uses 'Unicorn Passport' to Cross Borders (http://www.southwalesargus.co.uk/news/10478473.Cwmbran_girl_s_passport_for_toy_unicorn_gets_her_through_Turkish_customs/?ref=mr)
https://i.imgur.com/OT7e9qZ.jpg
A FAMILY were left bemused after their daughter passed through passport control at a Turkish airport using a passport identifying her as a unicorn.
The girl’s mother, Nicky Harris, explained that on May 28, she, husband Allen and their daughter, Emily, arrived at Antalya airport in the city centre of Antalya, Turkey, to start their one week family holiday.
Mrs Harris, from Pontnewydd, Cwmbran, picked up what she thought were their three passports from her bag to hand to the woman at passport control.
The officer checked the passports, and even asked Emily her age, to which Emily replied “nine”, before she stamped them and let the family through.
It was only when they got outside that Mrs Harris realised that instead of handing in Emily’s passport, she had shown her daughter’s Design-a-Bear passport for a Unicorn toy called Lily Harris.
She said: “I didn’t realise until I was putting the passports away. There was a moment of panic when I thought someone would come chasing after us, but nothing.”
She explained that the passport didn’t even look real, being a different size, featuring gold teddy bears on the front and the picture ID was of the toy.
Man Arrested for Building 'Vibrator Bomb' (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/bizarre/man-busted-building-vibrator-bomb)
https://i.imgur.com/qLprt22.jpg
A Minnesota man is facing felony charges after police discovered that he had retrofitted a vibrator, turning the sex toy into a homemade explosive device.
According to a criminal complaint, Terry Allen Lester, 37, placed “gun powder, BB shot, and buck shot from shotgun shells” into the modified device, which had “black and red wires that connected to a trigger with a battery port,” according to a statement of probable cause filed yesterday in Waseca District Court.
Police were alerted to the black vibrator by a woman with whom Lester had been living until last week. The device was reportedly included in belongings Lester left behind in the woman’s apartment. Lester, pictured in the mug shot at right, also left behind tools, cords, cables, and the remains of a drill that was disassembled “to use the parts for the vibrator bomb.”
Lester, whose rap sheet includes domestic assault and drunk driving busts, allegedly was planning on giving the vibrator as a Christmas gift to one of three former girlfriends, with whom he had relationships that “ended badly.” The woman who contacted police said Lester told her that “when the device was inserted into the female he would pull the trigger and it would blow them up.”

40,000 Volts of Pure Nylon Jacket Power (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/4252692.stm)
https://i.imgur.com/qIjeuX9.jpg
An Australian man built up so much static electricity in his clothes as he walked that he burned carpets, melted plastic and sparked a mass evacuation.
Frank Clewer, of the western Victorian city of Warrnambool, was wearing a synthetic nylon jacket and a woollen shirt when he went for a job interview.
As he walked into the building, the carpet ignited from the 40,000 volts of static electricity that had built up.
"It sounded almost like a firecracker or something like that," he said.
"Within about five minutes, the carpet started to erupt," he told Australian radio.
Considerable current
Perplexed firemen evacuated the building and cut its electricity supply, thinking the burns could have been caused by a power surge.
"There were several scorch marks in the carpet, and we could hear a cracking noise - a bit like a whip - both inside and outside the building," said fire official Henry Barton.
Mr Clewer said that after leaving the building, he scorched a piece of plastic in his car.
His clothes were measured by firemen as carrying an electrical charge of 40,000 volts, the Reuters news agency quoted Mr Barton as saying.
The fire official added that the charge was close to being high enough to cause the items to spontaneously combust.
"I've been firefighting for over 35 years and I've never come across anything like this," he said.

I.R.S. Has Nuclear Armageddon Plans (http://www.nytimes.com/1989/03/28/business/nuclear-war-plan-by-irs.html)
https://i.imgur.com/QMHSz67.jpg
It will take something more than a nuclear attack to wipe out taxpayers' obligations to the Internal Revenue Service.
An addition to the Internal Revenue Manual, which is supposed to guide the conduct of all I.R.S. employees, declares that if the bomb is dropped, ''operations will be concentrated on collecting the taxes which will produce the greater revenue yield.''
An I.R.S. spokesman, Johnell Hunter, said today that the new section -titled ''National Emergency Operations'' - had been added to the manual in response to a directive to Government departments from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Within 30 days of an attack emergency, the agency would expect to resume assessing and collecting taxes. At that time, the manual states, many employees might find themselves reassigned to carry out essential functions ''regardless of and without any effect on the current positions or grades of the employee.''
''On the premise that the collection of delinquent accounts would be most adversely affected, and in many cases would be impossible in a disaster area, the service will concentrate on the collection of current taxes,'' the manual says.

Quick recovery from a nuclear attack and keeping all systems operating as normal is a smart thing.
It might be better to have a different tax law set for a country that has just been hit with nuclear attack. I would assume it would go into war mode, have martial law installed and a new money issued. I'd also assume taxes would be changed to be about simplifying and optimizing a country at war and dealing with a nuclear war.
Of course forward planning like that may exist, after some people build bunkers and med kits.
Tire-slashing man caught on camera having sex with bicycle (http://road.cc/content/news/85955-tyre-slashing-man-caught-camera-having-sex-bicycle)
Swedish police hunting man who loves bikes a bit too much
https://i.imgur.com/SyATo5Y.jpg
Annoyed at someone interfering with his bike, a Swedish man has caught a bizarre bike fetishist red-handed.
Per Edstrom got fed up that someone kept puncturing his tyres and set up a CCTV camera to try and catch the culprit.
What he got was footage of a hooded man holding a piece of paper, getting intimate with the bike. The miscreant stands over the rear wheel of the bike, punctures the tyre and then masturbates as it deflates.
Police in Osterlund are looking for the velophile and believe there may be a link to a series of crimes in the area in 2007. A 35-year-old man was arrested back then for allegedly slashing the tyres of 20 bikes, before masturbating over their saddles.
Mr Edstrom says he is willing to forgive the man, but just wants him to leave his bike alone. “I am not scared of him, just irritated over all the punctures I have had to fix,” said Edstrom. “This man is probably completely harmless, bicycles are just his thing.”
I'd heard about people being bi-curious, but bicycle-curious....
And slashing the tires....he should probably just remove the seat if he likes a rough ride.

EDA's CIO, fearing that the agency was under attack from a nation-state, insisted instead on a policy of physical destruction. The EDA destroyed not only (uninfected) desktop computers but also printers, cameras, keyboards, and even mice. The destruction only stopped—sparing $3 million of equipment—because the agency had run out of money to pay for destroying the hardware.:shrug:

Riiiiiiiiiiight.
The malware that was found was common stuff. There were no signs of persistent, novel infections, nor any indications that the perpetrators were nation-states rather than common, untargeted criminal attacks. The audit does, however, note that the EDA's IT infrastructure was so badly managed and insecure that no attacker would need sophisticated attacks to compromise the agency's systems.

its common with gaming mice/keyboards these days to save Configuration info onto memory on the device (as you say) what you fail to grasp however is the fact the Computer doesn't see it as a storage device is purely based on the drivers - a clever hacker can easily create custom drivers which would treat the memory as storage space and thus add his code to the device - the hard part would be distributing the drivers and making Windows recognize them without throwing a fit about unsigned drivers...

Man Threw His Semen at Wal-Mart Customer He Thought Was ‘Hot’ (http://gawker.com/man-threw-his-semen-at-wal-mart-customer-he-thought-was-748714419)
https://i.imgur.com/3JAzopp.jpg
Police in Delaware arrested a New Castle man after he allegedly threw a "glob" of his own semen on the backside of a female Walmart shopper because he thought she was attractive.
The 20-year-old victim says she was standing in an aisle texting when a man she later identified as 22-year-old Frank J. Short, Jr., walked by and "said excuse me."
That's when she " suddenly felt something wet on her buttocks, thigh and leg," according to the official police report.
Initially believing the suspect had sneezed or spat on her, the woman looked down to find "a glob of semen on her leg, just below her knee."
Short allegedly continued to follow the victim until she was able to ditch him in an Employees Only area, where she found two workers who escorted her to the security office and phoned the cops.
The suspect was subsequently picked up on a number of charges, including offensive touching with bodily fluid, lewdness, and harassment.
A preliminary test of the fluid Short reportedly discharged on the woman found it to be "indicative of semen."
For his part, Short told troopers he had accidentally "flung" some mucus on the victim after sneezing into his hands.
He later changed his story, claiming he threw some of his spit on the woman, whom "he felt was hot."
Pressed some more by officers, Short seemed to confess to the crime, saying he "basically gets a thrill out of such an act."

Lawyer Sues Apple for Not Controlling His Porn Addiction (http://abovethelaw.com/2013/07/lawyer-apple-should-protect-me-from-my-porn-addiction/)
https://i.imgur.com/21e2I6v.jpg
A tipster pointed us to a 50-page complaint filed in federal court last month seeking damages and injunctive relief against Apple for making devices that can display porn, or as the rest of us call it, the Internet. [...]
The plaintiff, Chris Sevier, is an attorney in Nashville. A news report of his arrest last month on unrelated charges of stalking country music star John Rich (the guy whose obnoxious song mars my weekly viewing of College GameDay) states that Sevier’s 36, though his Model Mayhem bio says he’s 26. For someone mad about porn on the Internet, he’s already adopted its first cardinal rule: models always lie about their age.
Sevier’s complaint makes a simple request: Apple should sell all products with an installed filter blocking all Internet porn. [...]
The Plaintiff is a victim of Apple’s product that was sold to him without any warning of the damage the pornography causes. “But for” the Plaintiff’s use of the Apple product, the quality of the Plaintiff’s life would have been much better and injury would have been avoided. The Plaintiff sustained these unwarranted damages in the course of using Apple’s product as designed. Apple’s product was not adequately equipped with safety features that would have otherwise blocked unwarranted intrusions of pornographic content that systematically poisoned his life. [...]
In using safari, the Plaintiff accidentally misspelled “facebook.com” which lead him to “****book.com” and a host of web sites that caused him to see pornographic images that appealed to his biological sensibilities as a male and lead to an unwanted addiction with adverse consequences. [...]
UNFAIR COMPETITION AND INTERFERENCE OF THE MARITAL CONTRACT: The Plaintiff became totally out of synch in his romantic relationship with his wife, which was a consequence of his use of his Apple product. The Plaintiff began desiring, younger more beautiful girls featured in porn videos than his wife, who was no longer 21. His failed marriage caused the Plaintiff to experience emotional distress to the point of hospitalization. The Plaintiff could no longer tell the difference between internet pornography and tangible intercourse due to the content he accessed through the Apple products, which failed to provide him with warnings of the dangers of online pornography whatsoever.

Lawyer Sues Apple for Not Controlling His Porn Addiction (http://abovethelaw.com/2013/07/lawyer-apple-should-protect-me-from-my-porn-addiction/)
From the Book of Genesis v2.0:
Now Steven Jobs was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not use any tech in the garden’?”
2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may use tech in the garden, 3 but God did say, ‘You must not use the tech that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”
4 “You will not certainly die,” Steven Jobs said to the woman. 5 “For God knows that when you use it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
6 When the woman saw that the tech was good for porn and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took one and downloaded an app. She also gave one to her husband, who was with her, and he texted her.
7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

I have had it with these monkey-fighting snakes on this Monday to Friday plane (http://gawker.com/snake-hiding-in-toilet-bites-israeli-mans-penis-781111730)

A 35-year-old Israeli man was rushed to the hospital on Friday after a snake suddenly emerged from the toilet he was sitting on and bit the man's penis.
The injured man told emergency workers that he noticed a strong burning sensation as he was using the toilet in his parents' home in the norther Israeli town of Nofit. At that point, the man looked down and saw a snake in the toilet. He then "ran from the room in horror" to call paramedics.
"This is the first time I've seen a snake bite like this," a paramedic said, according to Your Jewish News.

That was a weak ending edit to that quote.
"This is the first time I've seen a snake bite like this," a paramedic said, according to Your Jewish News.
"...and I ain't sucking the poison out of that wound."
There is a joke along those lines. Two hunters are out in the woods, when they stop to take a wiz. A snake bites one of them on the penis. He yells to the other to go and find a doctor.
He goes to their truck to get his cellphone and dials 911 and tells them about the incident and describes the snake. They tell him they are sending help and connect him to a doctor. The doctor informs him that help will not arrive in time to save his friend, and that he will have to suck the poison out.
He eventually comes back to his impatient friend who asks him "What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor said: you are gonna die."

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) warned Monday that Republicans are in danger of losing control of the House of Representatives in 2014 if they let President Obama “wave his magic wand” and allow newly legal immigrants to vote. And as the congresswoman explained to conservative website WorldNetDaily, the only way to prevent this from happening is for Congress to give the president a “spanking” on immigration. [...]
Bachmann assured her intended audience that she’s “not crying wolf here.”
President Obama “has a perpetual magic wand,” Bachmann asserted, “and nobody’s giving him a spanking yet and taking it out of his hand.”

The mayor of Huntingdon, Que., Stephane Gendron, has been forced to apologize for joking about how he enthusiastically kills cats with his car [...]
“When I see a cat in the street, I accelerate,” Gendron had said, days earlier, on his radio show.
“Stray cats have no business on the street,” he said, raising his voice to a shout for dramatic emphasis: “So bang! I accelerate.”
He didn’t stop there.
“The other day I backed up over a newborn and I’m sure it didn’t feel a thing,” Gendron said.
“The pickup passed over him like it was nothing.”

Erdoğan's chief adviser knows what's behind Turkey's protests -- telekinesis (http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2013/jul/13/erdogan-turkey-protests-telekinesis-conspiracy-theories)
https://i.imgur.com/8PPsKsy.jpg
Since it was obviously inconceivable that the Turkish people themselves – knowing they were living through a golden age of good governance, piety and profit – would ever take to the streets, there must have been a plot.
Well now we have the answer – it was all a giant telekinetic attack by dark forces to discredit Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, because he had made Turkey a "model for the world". Quite rightly, the man who made this astonishing discovery, Yiğit Bulut, has just been made Erdoğan's chief adviser. No, this is not a joke. Telekinesis, you may have noticed, is a Greek word. [...]
Turkey's enemies, he claimed, were planning to assassinate Erdoğan – by telekinesis. "There is work going on in many centres in the world to kill Erdoğan from afar through methods like telekinesis," Bulut told TV viewers last month. This week Bulut became Erdoğan's official eminence grise.
Utterly mad it may sound, but there may be method to it – a message to diehard religious supporters that Erdoğan's erratic, confrontational behaviour may be because he is engaged in a life-or-death struggle behind the scenes.

Rochelle Harris, 27, from Derby, started to get blinding headaches after she returned from her trip.
She thought nothing of it, but within hours she had developed excruciating shooting pains down one side of her face and had started to hear strange scratching sounds in her head.
She became so concerned she went to hospital, where doctors thought it could be a minor ear infection.
However, she was referred to the ear nose and throat (ENT) team for further investigation to rule out a more sinister problem.
Rochelle said she remembered walking through a swarm of flies when in Peru Photo: ALAMY

'NHS is not a creaking relic'
Miss Harris said that as her ear was being examined, the ENT specialist fell silent.
Miss Harris said: "My Mum asked her 'Can you see what it is?' and the doctor said 'If you don't mind I'd prefer to speak to the registrar before I tell you anything'.
"My Mum said 'Please tell us' and that's when the doctor said 'You've got maggots in your ear'. I burst into tears instantly."
She was then given an emergency brain scan to find out how many there were and if they had done any damage.
There was a risk that they were migrating through her head. If one reached her brain it could cause meningitis, fatal bleeding and if one ate through her facial nerve she might be left facially paralysed.
It showed that no damage had been done to Miss Harris's ear drum, blood vessels or facial nerve.
But they discovered that the maggots had chewed a 12mm hole into her ear canal.
Doctors then tried to drown them by flooding the ear canal with olive oil.
"I had to stay and wait overnight to see if the treatment worked," said Miss Harris. "It was the longest few hours of my life. I just wanted them out of me. Knowing what was causing the sensations and sounds made it all the worse."
The maggots had all somehow managed to survive and when surgeons explored her ear using a microscope and speculum they were shocked to discover that eight of them had managed to push their way through the ear.
Rochelle said she remembered walking through a swarm of flies when in Peru and a fly had got inside her ear. But once she had shooed it away she thought nothing more of it.
She said she has suffered no long-term side-effects.

Your weight, in Gold. (http://news.yahoo.com/dubai-diet-slim-down-paid-gold-090114923.html)
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Shedding weight is as good as gold under an unusual slim-down initiative in Dubai over growing concerns about rising obesity levels in the wealthy Gulf city-state.
Municipal officials are offering a gram of gold — worth about $45 at current prices — for each kilogram of weight lost in a 30-day challenge. The minimum drop is two kilograms, or 4.4 pounds, to cash in.
Local media Wednesday quotes Dubai official Hussain Lootah as saying there is no limit on the payout for the golden losers, who must sign up and weigh in Friday.
The plan is the latest attempt to encourage healthier lifestyles in the United Arab Emirates. Across the Gulf Arab states, authorities have raised alarms about rising obesity from increasing fast-food diets and lack of exercise.

Australian caught driving without steering wheel
An Australian man has been remanded in custody after police found him driving without a steering wheel.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/australiaandthepacific/australia/10198493/Australian-caught-driving-without-steering-wheel.html
The 38-year-old was pulled over in the Adelaide suburb of Gilles Plains on Monday morning for dangerous driving with two blown tyres.
On closer inspection police discovered that the white Holden sedan was being controlled with a set of pliers, (vice grips, actually) which had been attached to the steering column.
The driver was charged with this and a string of other violations including driving an uninsured, unregistered vehicle whilst being disqualified and breaching his terms of bail.
In addition to this the Northfield man tested positive for methyl amphetamine and cannabis in a drugs test.
Police have hinted that they believe the same vehicle was also involved in a hit-and-run collision, in which there were no casualties, just moments before it was pulled over.

McCain hopes $1 coin leads to bigger tips for strippers
(CNN) – If Congress passes the COINS Act replacing the $1 paper bill for a coin, the U.S. government may be able to save billions in printing costs at the expense of a little more jangle in the average consumers' pockets. But what about the strippers?
That's what The Hill newspaper asked one of the bill's co-sponsors, Sen. John McCain, in a piece published Thursday. The question came from a separate 2011 story where the publication suggested strippers could suffer in a bill-less economy, with G-strings and garter belts far less accommodating of cold metal.
For his part, the Arizona Republican responded in stride in a Capitol Hill hallway.
"Then I hope that they could obtain larger denominations," McCain reportedly told The Hill.
According to The Hill, the 76 year-old McCain started answering questions from another reporter before a smile spread across his face and he shouted down the hallway to The Hill, "Fives, tens, one hundreds!"

SINCE 1994 Tracey Aldridge has been arrested 100 times, jailed 27 times for more than 1,000 days and spent a total of eight years in prison. Most of her arrests have been for trivia: trespassing, prostitution, drugs, disorderly conduct, petty theft or drinking in public, all typical of the mentally ill. Ms Aldridge is so impaired that one jail needed special arm coverings for her, like full-length oven gloves, to prevent her from ripping her veins out with her teeth. More recently, in prison, Ms Aldridge ate her protective gauntlets.

Creationist explains that dragons are totally real creatures (http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/08/14/creationist-explains-why-dragons-are-actually-real-creatures/)
http://youtu.be/fD7jkltC71Q
Dragons are in the Bible and therefore dragons are not mythological creatures, according to one author.
“The Bible speaks about dragons,” Darek Isaacs, author of the book Dragons or Dinosaurs, said on the program Creation Today earlier this year. “Our authority — everything we do we have to measure by the word of God, that is what I believe. So, we have to go to the Bible, and the Bible speaks about dragons.”
He remarked that both the Old and New Testaments compared Satan and other evil creatures to dragons.
Isaacs’ book argues that various ancient myths about dragons were actually based on human’s experiences with dinosaurs. As a young Earth creationist, Isaacs believes humans and dinosaurs coexisted, since both came into existence at the same time about 6,000 years ago.
“If dragons in fact were entirely mythological, if they were a figment of the imagination, and if they never ever did exist, then God just compared our adversary to a make-believe creature that never existed,” he said.
Cut-price taxis for drunk women in revealing clothes (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/10244091/Cut-price-taxis-for-women-in-miniskirts.html)
https://i.imgur.com/wWDg3wY.jpg
Drunk women wearing revealing clothing could be offered discounted cab fares under a new policy being discussed by Brentwood Council in Essex.
The plan, which has £3,000 tax-payer funded money set aside as funding, is intended to help women get home safely after the town centre became a party hotspot, with many copying the style of The Only Way is Essex TV stars.
Councillor Chris Hossack said: “We’re looking at the provision of taxis or a shuttle bus for girls who are drunk and not wearing very much — a short skirt or revealing top — as they may be a target.”
Victim Support has criticised the idea for suggesting that girls make themselves susceptible to crime because of the clothing they wear.
But Cllr Hossack blames the influence of The Only Way is Essex TV stars such as Amy Childs, according to The Sun.
He said: “Drive up the high street — it’s like a cheap thrill shop window. When you dress like that there is a risk. Some nasty man may take advantage.
“Girls have got the right to look attractive but some go over the top and have no class and no respect.
“Has Towie made an impact? I think it has. They come down to Brentwood to buy clothes from their shops and wear them on the night trying to look more attractive. Amy Childs is part of the problem as far as I’m concerned.”
Childs, 23, who runs a salon in Brentwood, said her dress sense did not make her irresponsible.
She said: “I think the comments are very unfair.
“Myself and other young ladies in Essex want to inspire confidence in girls who look up to us. I don’t feel being or wanting to look glamorous makes us irresponsible.”
The scheme is one of several plans suggested to address anti-social behaviour but has been criticised by both taxi controllers and Victim Support.
Taxi controller Trisha Cleary, 32, said: “Towie tourists cause less trouble than many visitors from neighbouring areas. If they've got the money to buy alcohol, they’ve got enough for a cab.
“They have to take responsibility for themselves.”

Russell Simmons apologizes for Harriet Tubman sex video (http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2013/08/15/russell-simmons-apologizes-for-controversial-video/2658879/)
https://i.imgur.com/XRMqQAe.jpg
Russell Simmons is apologizing after coming under fire for a video that appeared on his new All Def Digital YouTube channel.
The "Harriet Tubman Sex Tape" depicts an actress portraying the famous abolitionist having sex with her "Massa" in order to allow her to run the Underground Railroad. The video has since been taken down. Simmons issued an apology on Globalgrind.com in which he says he was contacted by his "buddies" at the NAACP asking for removal of the video.
"I'm a very liberal person with thick skin," wrote Simmons. "My first impression of the Harriet Tubman piece was that it was about what one of actors said in the video, that 162 years later, there's still tremendous injustice. And with Harriet Tubman outwitting the slave master? I thought it was politically correct. Silly me. I can now understand why so many people are upset. I have taken down the video. Lastly, I would never condone violence against women in any form, and for all of those I offended, I am sincerely sorry."

Colorado man confesses to raccoon revenge killing: ‘All raccoons must die!’ (http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/08/28/colorado-man-reportedly-confesses-to-raccoon-revenge-killing-all-raccoons-must-die/)
https://i.imgur.com/tJ1Ndbx.jpg
A 50-year-old Colorado man has reportedly confessed to authorities that he attacked a pair of raccoons in a bid for revenge for the death of his cat years ago.
KCNC-TV reported on Tuesday that Richard Moller told police he suffered a 10-minute “glitch” of anger on Monday that caused him to jump into a trash bin and use a piece of wood to hit the animals. He also reportedly said to officers that did not intend to use the nails protuding from the board to stab them, but instead wanted to cause “blunt force trauma.”
Though Moller faces two counts of felony animal cruelty, one of his co-workers at a Boulder, Colorado liquor store defended his character to KCNC, saying he was well-liked by customers.
“He’s a good person,” Moller’s unidentified colleague told KCNC. “I just hope this doesn’t get missed in all of this, ’cause he really is a good guy.”
The Boulder Daily Camera reported that one of the raccoons was found dead in the bin, while the other ran away injured. According to court records, Moller told a witness during the attack that “all raccoons must die” before fleeing the scene.
Raccoon's are pretty vicious, they look cute but they really aren't. Cat doesn't stand a chance, happens a lot that raccons attack pets. I'd also kill them if they entered my garden

A South Carolina couple was arrested yesterday for having sex inside a display shed at a Home Depot, police report.
Emily Craig, 20, and Shaun Bowden, 31, were nabbed after cops were called to the store in North Charleston around 8:40 AM.
Officers were dispatched to the business “in reference to an male and female entering a display shed on the property, closing the door behind themselves and remaining inside,” according to a North Charleston Police Department report.
An inspection of the outdoor sheds turned up Craig and Bowden. Craig, cops noted, was “partially clothed; the top of her dress was untied, hanging at her waist.” Bowden was shirtless and “had his pants down near his knees; his penis was exposed.”
During subsequent questioning of the duo, “it became apparent that they were engaged in sexual intercourse within the shed.”

A terrified teenage couple were confronted by armed police on their first holiday abroad - over a row about dirty hand towels.
Francesca Stefanyszyn, 17, and her boyfriend Ged Sykes, 18, were checking out of their five-star hotel in Krakow, Poland, when staff demanded £41 to pay for the towels, which were lightly marked with mud.
The young couple, who were on holiday earlier this month for Ged’s 18th birthday, said the situation escalated when they had no money to pay for them and staff called two 'burly' armed police officers who demanded their passports.

Hot teenage girl karate excorcists—the Org should buy up the film rights NOW (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-23986595)
https://i.imgur.com/Y4IwUd1.jpg
Brynne Larson and Tess and Savannah Scherkenback are all-American girls from Arizona, who enjoy martial arts and horse riding. But something sets them apart from most teenagers - they perform public exorcisms and often appear on TV chat shows.
Eighteen-year-old Brynne met sisters Tess and Savannah about eight years ago at a karate class.
"We just really hit it off," says Savannah, aged 21. "I don't know what happens but somehow you bond when you're punching one another and throwing knees. We were working out together, learning how to fight and how to defend ourselves and defend others."
The girls are now karate black belts, but because of their particular Christian beliefs, they have also decided to do battle, they say, against evil spirits or demons. [...]
The girls have been trained by Brynne's father, the Rev Bob Larson, who says he has performed over 15,000 exorcisms. They have appeared alongside him in America and overseas, including the UK.
"Every single country has a specific kind of demon," says Tess, 18, who loves music and reading.
The girls believe that the UK in particular is a hotbed for "witchcraft" because of the popularity of J K Rowling's Harry Potter books.
"The spells and things that you're reading in the Harry Potter books, those aren't just something that are made up, those are actual spells. Those are things that came from witchcraft books," says Tess.

It was a remote camera activated by sound that caught a now-famous frog in mid-air Sept. 6 as a rocket blasted off to send a robotic orbiter to the moon, said Keith Koehler, news chief at the Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island in eastern Virginia.
The camera, about 150 feet from the launch pad, was activated by the sound of the liftoff and took a sequence of eight or nine photos.
One of those photos included a frog, no doubt surprised to be airborne, backlit by the rocket's glare.
"It's a real photo and a real frog," said Jason Townsend, NASA's deputy social media manager.
Thanks to the Internet, the photo quickly went viral, giving the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) spacecraft more exposure than it might have attracted otherwise.
"It was an absolutely incredible moment to see something like that go viral," Townsend said Friday by phone from Washington. "It was one of those outtake moments - a great way to continue to share about the launch."
Asked about the frog's fate, Koehler said, "We have no idea."

A police spokeswoman in Rostov-on Don, Viktoria Safarova, said two men in their 20s were discussing Kant as they stood in line to buy beer at a small store on Sunday. The discussion deteriorated into a fistfight and one participant pulled out a small nonlethal pistol and fired repeatedly. [...]

Public Masturbation Declared Legal in Sweden After Landmark Trial (http://gawker.com/public-masturbation-declared-legal-in-sweden-after-land-1340599730)
https://i.imgur.com/JxBGUej.jpg
Sweden is now "okay" with public masturbation. On June 6, a 65-year-old man took off his shorts at a beach near Stockholm and began masturbating into the ocean. The man was charged with sexual assault, but was acquitted last week after a judge ruled he was not targeting a specific person.
Even though the Södertörn District Court's judgment stated it “may be proven that the man exposed himself and masturbated on this occasion,” the court decided the man had not committed a crime, a decision the public prosecutor agreed with, though he said in the future public masturbation might be considered disorderly conduct.
"For this to be a criminal offence it's required that the sexual molestation was directed towards one or more people," Olof Vrethammar said. "I think the court's judgement is reasonable. With that we can conclude that it is okay to masturbate on the beach."
The ruling in the case comes just three months after Sweden's last major sex scandal, when police in Stockholm announced that a man who [has sex with] bicycles was on the loose.

Apocalypse Timeshares (http://roadtrippers.kinja.com/for-only-25k-you-can-live-in-the-worlds-largest-dooms-1287071517/1327847878)
http://youtu.be/WkBNKa2KXZE?t=12s
A company called Terra Vivos is building underground timeshare communities "built to withstand a 50-megaton nuclear blast 10 miles away, 450mph winds, a magnitude-10 earthquake, 10 days of 1,250°F surface fires, and three weeks beneath any flood." Asteroids, nuclear war or angels with trumpets—you'll survive them all trapped with neighbors under a mountain.
It's a modern-day Noah's ark for the nuclear generation. It will house thousands of DNA samples and withstand a 20 megaton nuclear blast. Today, you can secure your space in this Kansas-based survivalist community shelter for only $25,000. It's called Terra Vivos, and it's the world's largest doomsday timeshare.
The shelter is located 50-150ft below the Missouri River bluffs, in part of a former limestone mine, known as the Atchison Storage Facility. This facility served as a secure bunker complex for the U.S. government since World War 2 up until 2013, when the company behind the Vivos Survival Shelter and Resort acquired a large portion of the 2.7 million sq. ft. underground storage facility. The Vivos shelters will also come with their very own "Cryovaults" that will house "reproductive gamete cells and DNA of humans and animals for a potential re-population of the Earth."
Here's how the Vivos Group is marketing their Doomsday timeshares:
People are sensing that a global life-changing event is just ahead. The governments of the world have been bunkering up for decades. What do they know? Why is nobody telling you to prepare? Obviously, to avoid a mass panic. What is your plan? Will your family be victims, or survivors in one of our shelters. The accepted solution to most of the threat scenarios is to find underground shelter. The soil of the Earth itself can provide the best shelter for most catastrophes, including a pole shift, super volcano eruptions, solar flares, earthquakes, asteroids, tsunamis, nuclear attack, bio terrorism, chemical warfare and even widespread social anarchy. The governments of the world have been busy building vast underground shelter complexes for the elite. What do they know? The rest of us are on our own, without a long-term survival solution.

The government ordered the temporary occupation of the Manpa plant in the northern state of Aragua, state-run Radio AVN reported.

The wedding guest said: “There was blood all over the floor just outside the church. When I went in there it was like someone had been murdered. There was blood everywhere.
“The vicar knew of the man and said he had come into the church as they were setting up. He said the man had chopped his testicles off with a pair of scissors and was going bezerk, chucking chairs around. I’m surprised he didn’t pass out.
“When I went in the church, I saw something on the floor which I could only describe as flesh, which I thought was part of his arm but that was one of his testicles.”

Dinosaur ravishment erotica exists, is wildly profitable (http://nymag.com/thecut/2013/10/qa-the-women-who-write-dinosaur-erotica.html)
https://i.imgur.com/cAJYZjA.jpg
I did some research and found that a subgenre called “monster erotica” was starting to get popular. So I decided to write stories that contained monsters that were staples, or at least what I thought were staples, of the genre: shifters (werewolf), tentacle monsters (it was only later I found out shifters weren’t considered “monsters”). I wrote a lot of dragon-erotica stories, BBW romance, a few other things. But after a few months of writing about dragons having their way with busty maidens, I started getting burned out. I toyed with the idea of quitting and going back to work. But one day, I was walking and I thought about the movie Jurassic Park. My perverse mind immediately went to my work, and I pictured dinosaurs having their way with women. I died laughing. I was about to dismiss these thoughts as the workings of my freaky mind, but then I had an epiphany. Dinosaur erotica was something new that I’d never tried before.
I sat down the next week and wrote my first dinosaur story. I showed my story to Christie and we worked together to smooth out the prose. She liked it, and since then she and I have been writing dinosaur-erotica stories, among our other fiction. And that is how we became the dynamic duo of monster porn!
Is monster erotica lucrative?
We don't want to get into actual numbers, but let's put it this way: Combined, Christie and I make more money than our friend who has been working as an engineer at Boeing for a few years and Christie's friend who is a five-year accountant in Dallas, Texas.

https://i.imgur.com/ryXHHPn.jpg
In probably the creepiest finding of the week, scientists claim to have discovered that predatory paedophile mice are turned off launching sexual attacks on pre-pubescent victims by pheromones in their tears.
According to an international team of scientists the baby mice tears contain a pheromone signalling chemical that puts off the sex-mad males.
The team, who were led by Dr Stephen Liberles, from Harvard Medical School, found that two-week old pre-pubescent mice produce 50 times more of the pheromone, called ESP22, than adults.
When scientists blocked the ability of adult mice to sense the chemical they witnessed a worsening in the behaviour of the creatures. Sexual advances towards pre-pubescent females increased "strikingly" with numerous mating attempts.
A similar response was witnessed by scientists when the young mice were prevented from creating ESP22 in their tears.

A man who was accused of having sex with a sheep has walked free after the animal was unable to testify.
The man, from Haaksbergen, near Utrecht, the Netherlands, was reported to police after a farmer caught him having sex with a sheep.
But the case was thrown out of court as the sheep couldn’t take to the stand to testify it didn’t want to have sex and had suffered emotional stress.
Under Dutch law, bestiality is not a crime unless it can be proved the animal didn’t want to have sex.
‘Short of putting the sheep in the dock, at the moment these perverts cannot be prosecuted,’ said animal rights campaigner Jos van Huisen.
Minister of Justice Ernst Hirsch Ballin has said he plans to change the law to make bestiality a criminal offence.

So I present to you: Natural Harvert: Collection of Semen based Recipes (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Natural-Harvest-collection-semen-based-recipes/dp/1481227041)
Apparently it is a big hit with plenty of reviews.
I tend to be very 'experimental' in the kitchen, so a couple of my friends suggested that this book would provide me with some inspiration.
I am now glad that they made the recommendation.
As with any radical cookbook, I was a little bit cautious when I first started trying out the recipes. I never follow recipes to the letter, preferring to add a 'bit of myself' to the instructions. With this book I was able to do just that.
I have now replaced salt, in pretty much all my cooking, with semen. It has a certain sweet, sugary quality that I cannot find in other ingredients.
In some of my 'blind studies' I have had comments such as:
"I usually find saltfish far too salty, but the saltfish you cooked last night was just how I like it."
and
"You have always told me about Roman-style custard, but I will always add salt to my custard from now on."
As another reviewer has mentioned, cooking with semen is not a one person task. At first glance 2-3 tablespoons appears a modest requirement, although in practice it is a staggering amount of semen to collect on a daily basis. I was frantic, I attempted to enlist the help of my family and friends but none were keen on the idea and most of them thought I was joking. I resorted to carrying round a small container everywhere I went so that I could increase my stock during the day, this had a degree of success, and I'm proud to say I collected enough to attempt the man made oysters, but it did result in me being banned from the library and receiving the cold shoulder from most of the other guests at my cousins wedding.
DO NOT buy this recipe book whatever you do! I made the unfortunate MISTAKE of buying it to make Christmas dinner a little more interesting for the family this year. I earnestly followed the recipes and was very excited to offer the star recipe `Spunkulicious Pie' to the in-laws as a special treat. All of the men in my immediate family contributed to it. Even Granddad! We didn't even know he had it in him. The shared solidarity of a collective experience made it seem even more special. It had that delicate smell of ball sack aroma when it came out of the oven just like the book said BUT! A few hours later everybody became violently ill. The book says you can reheat the pie but now I read somewhere else that this is disastrous because the heat mutates the semen. We all spent Christmas day at the NHS walk in centre and were diagnosed with the rare illness known as CONSPUNCTIVITIS. It ruined our whole Christmas and I want my money back!!!!

Clown association angrily denies involvement in cartel assassination (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2474811/Clown-convention-distances-profession-Francisco-Rafael-Arellano-Felix-assassin.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490)
https://i.imgur.com/p1BICaY.jpg
Leaders of clowns gathered for a convention in Mexico City said Wednesday they are saddened that a killer disguised himself as a clown to kill a drug lord last week, and insisted no true member of their profession would have committed the crime.
Convicted drug trafficker Francisco Rafael Arellano Felix was shot to death Friday in the Baja beach resort of Los Cabos by a gunman wearing a clown costume, including a wig and a rubber nose. [...]
Clown leader Tomas Morales, a 21-year veteran of the trade who goes by the stage name ‘Payaso Llantom,’ said he was certain the killer was not a professional clown. He said clowns in Mexico, especially in outlying states, know each other and their costumes and makeup are individualized and recognizable.
‘The people who do that, they're not clowns. I can swear on my mother's grave it wasn't a clown,’ said Morales, whose costume includes frizzy blue hair and a tiny top hat. ‘We are not like that ... we are nonviolent.’
‘Bufon Marley,’ the stage name of 49-year-old Alberto Villanueva, who dresses a bit like a medieval jester, said of the killer, ‘It's sad that it has fallen to that level.’
‘I don't think it has anything to do with us; we do the complete opposite,’ Villanueva said. ‘I don't think it will hurt our profession, because in our communities, people know us.’

Horse herpes outbreak forces rodeo queens to ride stick ponies (http://www.ksl.com/?sid=15716018)
https://i.imgur.com/jMqXW92.jpg
FARMINGTON -- While the state has yet to officially cancel any events involving horses that might have been exposed to a local recent equine herpes outbreak, owners and arenas are taking precautions.
Because of the outbreak, contestants at the Davis County Sheriff's Mounted Posse Junior Queen Contest had to cowgirl up Thursday night without their mares.
Instead of competing on horses, as is typically the case, contestants were asked to trot around the arena with stick horses as their show ponies.
"It's kind of weird, but you can't really help that the disease is going around," said former queen Savanna Steed. She said the stick horses will test the riders' knowledge of whether they know the routine, rather than letting the horse do all the work. [...]
"Instead of using horses, we are testing the girls' knowledge and ability to adapt," she said. "This will test if they know the pattern, but they are disappointed they don't have their real horses."
The contestants still showed their horsemanship, though with a little more effort.
"With a stick horse it's a lot different because you have to do all the work, and I think it's going to be a lot more tiring than with a real horse," said contestant Kylie Felter.
What really shined were the true traits of a queen: poise and personality amid trying times.
"It will give you experience for if you happen to have a problem like this later in life," Steed said with a smile. "You already have the experience of riding a stick horse!"

Philly elects first Whig in 157 years (http://www.philly.com/philly/news/politics/Philly_elects_first_Whig_in_157_years.html)
https://i.imgur.com/x0b0dvR.jpg
Robert Bucholz, who Rhawnhurst voters chose as Judge of Election for the 5th Division in the 56th Ward, became the first Whig elected in Philadelphia in 157 years. He beat out Democratic candidate Loretta Probasco, who received 24 votes to Bucholz's 36. [...]
First founded in America in 1833, the Whig Party promoted consensus and compromise over partisan politics. Though the party counted among its ranks many prominent figures, including four U.S. presidents, it was virtually disbanded by 1856 after the issue of slavery exposed deep fissures within its membership.
But the movement was revived about five years ago after a group of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans began meeting in response to what they saw as the divisive nature of the county's partisan political system. They went on to found the Modern Whig Party, which Time Magazine in 2010 named one of America's "Top Ten Alternative Political Movements." The party now has a Washington, D.C. headquarters and counts 25,000 to 30,000 members across the nation, according to statistics from The Modern Whig Party of America's website.
"A basic tenet of the party is pragmatism," Bucholz said. "They believe that politics is all about compromise instead of getting everything you want and giving up nothing. The recent gridlock in Washington could not have happened under Modern Whigs."
Bucholz hasn't encountered many Modern Whigs in Philadelphia.
Woman Wears Hamburger as Sandal After Sex in Waffle House Parking Lot (http://gawker.com/woman-wears-hamburger-as-sandal-after-sex-in-waffle-hou-1460831281)
https://i.imgur.com/G5AXU1F.jpg
Scandal struck Loganville, Georgia this week when a woman caught having sex in a Waffle House parking lot attempted to wear a hamburger like a sandal.
Early Sunday morning, at about 1:30 a.m., a Loganville police officer spotted a couple having sex in the back of a Dodge pickup truck. The officer interrupted the two and ordered them to get dressed. The man complied, but the woman did not, at least not at first. [...]
While the man immediately put his pants on and complied, the woman simply sat in the passenger's seat. The officer had to tell her numerous times to put her clothes on, the report says. But when the female finally got dressed, she attempted to put a cheeseburger on her foot as if it were a sandal.
Though they were having trouble speaking clearly, the suspects became "very loud" and "argumentative" when ordered to take a breathalyzer test, which both failed in spectacular fashion.

How Waffle House Became A Disaster Indicator For FEMA (http://www.popsci.com/article/science/how-waffle-house-became-disaster-indicator-fema)
https://i.imgur.com/rWPAGvd.jpg
For shelter and supplies after a devastating storm, communities turn to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). But for a clear sense of how bad things are, FEMA turns to Waffle House. Nearly a decade ago, Florida’s emergency management chief, W. Craig Fugate, noticed that when information was scarce after a disaster, the status of a 24-hour Waffle House restaurant often indicated whether an area had electricity, gas, and passable roads. So he created a three-color rating: green (fully open), yellow (limited menu), and red (closed). Then he brought it with him to his current post as FEMA’s administrator. [...]
So what makes Waffle Houses so telling? For one, the chain has 500 similar locations throughout hurricane zones on the Gulf Coast and Eastern Seaboard as well as hundreds more across the flood- and tornado-prone Midwest. More important, Waffle House is a leader in disaster preparedness. It maintains its own fleet of portable generators, operates a mobile command center to assist in disaster recovery, and trains employees in crisis management to ensure that it can resume operations as quickly as possible—often within hours. And since 2012, it reports all this information directly to FEMA via email.
The Waffle House Index is by no means a scientific indicator (a 2011 tornado destroyed or damaged one third of Joplin, Missouri, yet the area’s two Waffle Houses remained open), but its accuracy continues to improve.

https://i.imgur.com/xdwl0GK.jpg
Firemen were called to a house fire that broke out after a mechanical cleaning gadget somehow switched itself on and destroyed itself by moving onto a kitchen hotplate.
Local media in Austria have referred to the incident as 'robot suicide' and even suggested it was fed up with the constant cleaning it had to do.
Fireman Helmut Kniewasser was one of those called to tackle the blaze at Hinterstoder in Kirchdorf, Austria.
He said: 'The home-owner had put the small robot on the work surface to clean up some spilled cereal. Once the robot had done its job it was switched off but left on the kitchen sideboard.
'The 44-year-old house owner, together with his wife and son, then left the house and were not home when the robot set off.
'Somehow it seems to have reactivated itself and made its way along the work surface where it pushed a cooking pot out of the way and basically that was the end of it. [...]
'I don't know about the allegations of a robot suicide but the homeowner is insistent that the device was switched off - it's a mystery how it came to be activated and ended up making its way to the hotplate.'

Son of Hogzilla is not without controversy (http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/hogzilla.asp)
According to various news reports, on 3 May 2007 near Delta, Alabama, 11-year-old Jamison Stone used a pistol to shoot and kill a wild hog weighing a staggering 1,051 pounds and measuring an incredible 9-feet-4 from the tip of its snout to the base of its tail—measurements which, if documented, would make the creature considerably larger than Hogzilla. Since then, much debate has raged about whether the photographs of the monster pig were genuine, whether the creature was really as big as claimed, and whether the animal was truly feral rather than a domesticated hog that had been raised as a pet and had only recently been released into a hunting preserve (where Jamison shot it).
At the MonsterPig web site set up to publicize Jamison's feat, the boy's father now says:
The news media used [the pig] for headlines for a week, claiming its size was a hoax. On the evening of May 31, I was contacted by Bran Strickland of the Anniston Star and he told me that he had good news and bad news. He said that the good news is your claims about the pig's massive size have been verified. The bad news is that he came from a hog breeder and that the pig had been sold from the breeder to the preserve for the purpose of hunting. Early on the morning of June 1, I went to the computer and read Bran's article which portrayed the pig as a family pet. The pig that Jamison killed did not act like a family pet. It was a very aggressive animal. I was upset at first to read this report but after going through a week of being told what we killed did not exist by the network media, I decided to get to the bottom of this myself. I got my whole family up at 6:00 a.m. and traveled to Heflin, AL to meet with the Blissitts to give Phil Blissitt, whom I have never met or talked to before, the opportunity to explain to Jamison why he had sold a pig that was described as being so gentle and sweet to a hunting preserve in order for someone to come and kill it.

New 'Christian Swingers' Dating Site Offers Faithful Couples Chance to 'Hookup' (http://www.christianpost.com/news/new-christian-swingers-dating-site-offers-faithful-couples-chance-to-hookup-102844/)
https://i.imgur.com/NALXaUk.png
A new dating website called CHRISTIANSwingers is sending ripples throughout the Christian community for offering "faithful couples" the opportunity to "hookup" with each other. One mental health professional warns the practice will lead to nothing but "pain."
The oxymoronic website brazenly declares that it was "designed to cater to the needs of those like you: devout Christian couples who still want to have an active love life and share it with another, in good faith!"
Before it details its mission, however, the website attempts to make a connection with visitors by justifying the lifestyle.
"For Christian Swingers things are not easy – often other religious people judge you, out of ignorance or envy, telling you that your lifestyle and love practices are wrong," begins the opening paragraph of the pitch.
"But the Bible teaches us 'Judge not lest ye be judged' and there's that verse about the first stone… but if you're keen on keeping your privacy, well – yours, and don't want your friends, coworkers, other PTA members or just about anyone else to know that you don't have a problem with faith and enjoying free love with other couples, this site can help you!" it boasts.
"Skip the swingers' club and meetings where you can be seen and avoid bad reputation – your personal life is something shared between you and our partner; other couples willing to join you are probably having the same problems. Visiting this site might change your life for the better," it adds.

Emergency Contraception Has No Effect On BBW (http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2013/11/plan-b-morning-after-pill-weight-limit-pounds)
The European manufacturer of an emergency contraceptive pill identical to Plan B, also known as the morning-after pill, will warn women that the drug is completely ineffective for women who weigh more than 176 pounds and begins to lose effectiveness in women who weigh more than 165 pounds. HRA Pharma, the French manufacturer of the European drug, Norlevo, is changing its packaging information to reflect the weight limits. European pharmaceutical regulators approved the change on November 10, but it has not been previously reported.
This development has implications for American women. Some of the most popular emergency contraceptive pills sold over the counter in the United States—including the one-pill drugs Plan B One-Step, Next Choice One Dose, and My Way, and a number of generic two-pill emergency contraceptives—have a dosage and chemical makeup identical to the European drug. Weight data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggests that, at 166 pounds, the average American woman is too heavy to use these pills effectively.
LOL, sometimes a scam is pure art. A few Romanians received 500.000 euro's from the EU, whatsitcalled for 1800 cows. Thing is, there are only virtual cows in farmville. They refuse to pay it back because they never said it were real cows.
