    I say "knickers" to intolerance.

    You, like me, may feel that men beating up women in bars is a bad idea. So, what are you going to do about it? Send them chaddis, that's what.

    I am also quite excited by the mere existence of the Consortium of Pub-going, Loose and Forward Women, at least in its Indian incarnation. If they open a chapter in Hull I'd rather not hear about it.

    A thong of women chucking pink undies at these uptight pruds is a perfect response. It will probably be the only action these guys have gotten since their moms breast fed them.

    One hopes the chucked chaddis will be (ummm..) chaste. Chure they will.

    Geez, I'm no good at these punny thingees; why do I even try, in the company of the greats? Uuu, I know: to amuse them with my puny human efforts. :)
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

    It'll take a marketing wiz to get this sold in the US. They'll have to go deceptive by calling it "Dr. Peeper", "Peepsi" or "Moollow Yellow".

    Today I had two customers using this fancy new credit card (Ok, it's actually six years old according to the news page but i never saw it before).

    Never seen it before, but found it pretty weird, if the name of a credit card is supposed to be a statement, then is MasterCard insulting to afro americans?

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    Dutch city fears loss of pornography archive

    By TOBY STERLING
    Associated Press Writer

    AMSTERDAM (AP) -- The municipal pornography archive in the Dutch city of Leeuwarden is missing and officials fear it may be gone for good.

    Spokesman Erik Krikke of the city's historical center said the archive - which contained photos, drawings and erotic texts with a connection to the city - may have been taken home "accidentally" by an employee or visitor.

    "We're hoping that someone will say 'Hey, I have that in my attic' and bring it back," he said Thursday. "No questions asked."

    "Rape simulator" pulled from Amazon's U.K. site


    A game that involves the player stalking victims and then raping them in a virtual world is being offered for sale by online retailer Amazon.com, the Belfast Telegraph's website can reveal. The shocking 'rape simulator', Rapelay, is set in Japan and carries a sickening game description on the Amazon website. An MP said last night that he plans to raise the issue in Parliament. Reviews by gaming websites have expressed horror at the basis for the game. One website review describes "tears glistening in the young girl's eyes" as she is attacked in graphic detail.

    More detail from Ars Technica.

    Hmm, judging by the gameplay footage it's nothing more than a hentai-flavored dumbed-down Sims 2. With more rape.

    Instead of snakes on a plane we have Britons on a Train.

    Seriously; what problem do these people have with "loosing" classified papers on trains.

    Boy marries bitch you mean?
    One of the episcopal clergymen who attended him went to the edge of the scaffold, and called out in a loud voice, "My lord dies a Protestant." "Yes,"
    said the Earl, stepping forward, "and not only a protestant, but with a heart hatred of Popery, of Prelacy, and of all superstition." He then embraced
    his friends, put into their hands some tokens of remembrance for his wife and children, kneeled down, laid his head on the block, prayed during a
    few minutes, and gave the signal to the executioner.

    Boy killed when office chair explodes up his anus


    A 14-year-old boy in China was killed when his chair exploded, sending chunks of metal into his rectum. The bleeding this caused killed him.

    The alleged explosion came from the gas cylinder that was in the base of the chair, the part that allowed the user to adjust the seat up and down. The canister gets compressed when you sit on it, but can it actually create enough energy to make the seat cushion explode like that and kill a man? I doubt it, but this is what people are reporting.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Are you implying there's a better way to do it?
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
