Lol, I'm disappointed. I thought this was about fending off Morman tourist groups with music that offended them.

I, For One, Welcome Our Cloned Glow-in-the-Dark Beagle Overlords
South Korean scientists say they have engineered four beagles that glow red using cloning techniques that could help develop cures for human diseases. The four dogs, all named "Ruppy" — a combination of the words "ruby" and "puppy" — look like typical beagles by daylight.
But they glow red under ultraviolet light, and the dogs' nails and abdomens, which have thin skins, look red even to the naked eye.
Seoul National University professor Lee Byeong-chun, head of the research team, called them the world's first transgenic dogs carrying fluorescent genes, an achievement that goes beyond just the glowing novelty.
"What's significant in this work is not the dogs expressing red colors but that we planted genes into them," Lee told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
There are superheroes among us...

CINCINNATI -- Cincinnati police have a new ally in their fight against crime, whether they want it or not.
He calls himself Shadowhare, and he wears a mask and a cape to conceal his true identity. He's Cincinnati's own version of a superhero fighting crime and injustice where he finds it.
Vote: What do you think of Shadowhare?
"We help enforce the law by doing what we can in legal standards, so we carry handcuffs, pepper spray … all the legal weapons," said Shadowhare. "We will do citizen's arrests. We will intervene on crimes if there is one happening in front of us."
The man behind Shadowhare's mask is 21 years old and from Milford. Those are the only clues to his true identity that he will reveal. Shadowhare said he was abused as a child and grew up in foster homes, perhaps leading him to a life helping others.
"My message to Cincinnati is that there is still hope and all we have to do is stand together," he said.
Also, have a good reason for returning stuff to radio shack:

Eau Claire - A Radio Shack employee in Eau Claire is facing disorderly conduct and battery charges for punching a customer.
Police say the customer was trying to return an item Sunday, but the employee wouldn't let him. The customer then asked to talk to a manager.
That's when the 52-year-old male employee began punching the man. A bystander called 911.
The employee is due in court May 19.
Hey, note the location of the article. Isn't Sasaki Kojiro from around Cincinnati?

Ahahaha, no wonder the announce couldn't keep himself from laughing.

Berliners on the city's main shopping drag, the "Ku'damm", were greeted Thursday with an unusual sight: a giant mocked-up image of Chancellor Angela Merkel in a matching purple bra and knicker set.
Pics or it didn't ha .... oh, nevermind.
I think it may have to do with his costume more than his height.
If I ever suffered a blow to the head and decided to become some masked guy making citizen's arrests, I'd definitely have a costume composed of normal clothing, a la The Question.
Wow- just saw the videos. He's...somethin' else. But I guess you'd have to be, to dress up and walk around like that.

I for one submit my new Internet Overlords
Quote:
The new system, Wolfram Alpha, showcased at Harvard University in the US last week, takes the first step towards what many consider to be the internet's Holy Grail – a global store of information that understands and responds to ordinary language in the same way a person does.
No other place to put it, not weird just frustrating. ~:angry:

So that is why I donate to Iranian human rights groups ~:angry:
This is the story that Fragony is highlighting. The poor girl was hanged, not stoned.
My bad, whatever. What a bunch of savages why would you do such a thing.
Frag, Husar, please try to keep the political stuff to a minimum in NotW. If you want to discuss the evils of Iran, you've got a wide-open expanse of Backroom in which to start a thread.

The doctors tried to persuade the patient that his penis was ideally sized, warned that he may be unhappy with the results of the surgery, and even showed him a life-sized replica of a 25-cm male organ. But the man stood his ground and demanded the operation.
The surgery was completed in two sessions, and happy Konstantin returned home almost twice as large as he used to be. But in just one month he was back at the clinic again, this time asking to undo the enlargement.
"He said no woman wants to be with him anymore," Life.ru quoted one of the doctors as saying.
he deserved that.
It's another one of those birds-strapped-to-your-calves stories.
Prosecutors say a traveler tried smuggling songbirds into the United States by strapping more than a dozen birds to his legs and trying to walk out of Los Angeles International Airport.
Sony Dong and another man were charged Tuesday with conspiracy in an eight-count federal indictment. Messages left with their public defenders weren’t immediately returned.
The U.S. attorney’s office says Dong was held over for inspection at the airport when he returned from Vietnam earlier this month. Prosecutors say he had bird feathers and droppings on his socks, and birds’ tail feathers peeking out from under his pants.
Blimey, if he'd hidden 'em a little higher up Dong might have had his dong pecked and rightly so. :laugh4:
