Owwwwwwwww! Math genius becomes callgirl, she was accepted at Oxford at the age of 13 GAWD that is hot. Hope this isn't too much but here's our little einstein;



130 pound mia muca's that is money well spend.

Heh, I found the entire story behind.

How much of a genius she were versus how much her parents pushed her seems to be debatable. But no worries, a Malaysian delegation is looking to cure her from the black magic that has cursed her.

Assalamu alaikum,

Based on discussion with Islamic medical practitioners and several divine guidance, we are convinced that Sufiah is under the influence of black magic. For that reason, a delegation from Malaysia headed by Ustaz Trimizi Zainal will depart Malaysia on 19th April to treat Sufiah using Islamic Medical practice. Ustaz Trimizi Insha'Allah will be in UK for 1 month and Insha'Allah he will treat Sufiah for the whole of the duration.

....

Ustaz Trimizi is a founding member of "Paranormal Islamic Support and Nurture Group", an organisation that will shortly be registered as an NGO. The NGO has several objectives, one of them being to spread Islam to the western world through holistic approach of Islamic medical treatment.

I couldn't resist myself, here's something more.

We want nothing to do with my dad," said Sufiah's brother Isaac Abraham, 26, speaking on the doorstep. "He was so abusive to us. That's why Sufiah had to get away."

Ten years before, Farooq Yusof had been lauded as a pioneer in hothousing - the intensive personal tutoring of young children.

The subject of his experiments in education were his five children. Early life for them was a regime of spartan intensity.

The temperature in the family home was always low to ensure their attention, morning prayers were followed by stretching and breathing exercises.

Television, pop music and anything else that might lead to "shallow thinking" was banned. Fresh air, said Yusof, was essential for a fresh mind.

Punching helped as well.

"It depended on whatever mood he was in," said Abraham. "He used to wake us up in the middle of the night by punching our faces. It was awful what he put us through."

Born in Pakistan, and considered a prodigy himself, Farooq basked in the publicity that followed Sufiah's admission to St Hilda's College, Oxford.

Now onto weird news.

OK this just went from extremily hot to OUCH I can't handle it anymore, would love to relieve this poor girl from her frustrations and some of mine.

Yeah, alot! There are budgetary restrictions. If you use too much money on the marine, there'll be less money for the farming which in turn will mean that there will be less food. So you have to consider whether to create wealth and buy soldiers, or whether you should aim to conquer lands and become great that way.

The more things change...

This is what happens when the green party wins local elections, mandatory reincarnation-therapy for unemployed tax-wasters. No, I am not kidding.

Point to ponder: If you could make everyone beautiful, who'd be left?

This article is Arrrr rated in a PG-13 forum. I'm notifying the moderators.

Sanity would not be left, and that sounds just about right.

That's an ugly thought.

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

Making everyone beautiful is a great idea, but it wouldn't work, so it would be left.

Not funny. Naive.

An Italian woman artist who was hitch-hiking to the Middle East dressed as a bride to promote world peace has been found murdered in Turkey.

The naked body of Giuseppina Pasqualino di Marineo, 33, known as Pippa Bacca, was found in bushes near the city of Gebze on Friday.

[Evil_Maniac From Mars]

I'd already heard about that at the Paradox Forums. Nonetheless, it is deserving of a good old



There is a reason for being cynical and paranoid. It keeps you alive.

[InsaneApache]

She had said she wanted to show that she could put her trust in the kindness of local people.

She got that wrong.

[Fragony]

Well it was alive while it lasted, couldn't have been a total idiot in her own special way.

Looks like the Pun-nisher has some competition.....

"A jury acquitted a man of smuggling endangered iguanas in his hollowed-out prosthetic leg but convicted him of concealing and possessing the endangered species."

Linky.

it turns out the Norwegian Prime Minister is a Total War player

George Bush should be doing the same thing as him. Global peace could be achieved thanks to Total War games (tm)

I hope they will be happy together

Red Sox lovin' construction worker hides a Sox jersey in the new Yankee stadium being constructed. The Yankees spend $50k to jackhammer it out of concrete and want to press charges:

Yankees President Randy Levine said team officials at first considered leaving the shirt where it was.

"The first thought was, you know, it's never a good thing to be buried in cement when you're in New York," Levine said. "But then we decided, why reward somebody who had really bad motives and was trying to do a really bad thing?"
...
Levine said the shirt would be cleaned up and sent to the Jimmy Fund, a charity affiliated with Boston's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

"Hopefully the Jimmy Fund will auction it off and we'll take the act that was a very, very bad act and turn it into something beautiful," he said.

A very, very bad act? Geez, you get out much Levine?

Levine doesn't like people Yankeeng his chain.

I posted this simply for the title.

When you're the mayor of a city and your own District Attorney says some newly passed laws are unenforceable and illegal, you may be a bit nutty.
