Post a news story, entertain me!

Pages

Well, we've had quite a few of these lately, so I figured we might want another aggregate thread. Sometimes a news story just doesn't warrant a whole thread. It's unlikely to spawn a meaningful discussion, and it's not very important. These can be funny, sad, morbid or just interesting. On the off chance that one of these sparks a real discussion of decent length, a new thread could be made. I'll start the bidding:

One woman's global warming conspiracy theory. Link.
Georgia Highschool has first multi-racial prom... in 2007. Link.
11 year-old stops speeding car, saves family. Link.
Famous mountaineer hurt from a fall at his house. Link.

Man cuts off [own] penis in restaurant

What's most amusing about this story is that this nutter did it in a restraunt called Zizzi... which is the French equivalent of "willy".

...just to spite his crotch.

Who found this and thought it lookd like Jesus? 'Cause I think whoever it was must have been smoking whatever it was in that picture.

That one's funny, especially where it took a while to realise that the ticket she accidently duplicated would also be a winner...

I think you pasted that wrong, Malkiel. That link goes to Mapquest. And no way a recent tinyurl would have just the number "6".

Slang taught to the Japanese.

Regina Lynn is pretty amusing, all in all.

Beating WoW

I found it highly interesting, in that LoTRO has little chance due to being largely viewed as a poor WoW clone, despite the huge built in support. Conan, while it will likely be pretty awesome, also cuts out a huge chunk of potential subs by going after the 24+ male demographic, virtually ignoring others. SWG, as we all know, has been dead for a while. I don't think another revamp is going to help matters.

There's nothing our American cousins like more than a bit of light litigation, and it appears that two US websites are about to unleash the lawyers in an unholy scrap over copyright on a rubber George Bush figurine which disgruntled Democrats can stick where the sun don't shine.

There are pictures of the offending items, but - mercifully - they're not action shots...

Now that's a headline!

That was proven fake long time ago.

Yeah, thought it might be as it was so old. Still love the headline though

Well-educated, highly intelligent my ass. He needs that guard to stop him in case he feels that he MUST go out and take a breather.
