Woman Has Crocodiles Strapped to Body
| Quote: |
"The woman looked strangely fat. Even though she was veiled and covered, even with so many clothes on there was something strange," Telleria said.
The incident, which took place on Thursday, sparked panic at the crossing.
"The policewoman screamed and ran out of the room, and then women began screaming and panicking when they heard," Telleria said. But when the hysteria died down, she said, "everybody was admiring a woman who is able to tie crocodiles to her body." |
Your turn. |

I think that's just Richards totally covering his ass. You know he would and did do it.
I mean, even if he didn't: it's better for rock and roll for us all to believe that he did.
For my money, the best part was when he was shitting all over babyfaced new-rock balladeers. Hahaha.

Dead rat found in dementia patient's mouth
| Quote: |
| Staffing was so inadequate at a California senior center that a rat crawled into an Alzheimer's patient's mouth and died there before staff noticed, a lawsuit claims. |
Also, though this doesn't make a great headline, it's kind of fun. An amusement park ride where people are kicked off if they make any noise, so as not to annoy the neighbors. |

this was the subject of the first newspaper article i read and understood in chinese, true story. although at first i thought i didn't get it. the translation of the headline was something like 'old man's mouth contains dead rat,' i figured having a dead rat in your mouth was some kind of chinese metaphor or something. even after reading the same story in english, i still dont really understand the sequence of events of how the rat ended up in the guy's mouth. like was it dead first or did his mouth kill it? first it says it crawled in there, then it says the dude got it out of the trap, then it says he was like playing with the living rat and feeding it candy? what the hell!
in case you are wondering about the international newsworthiness of this item, note that it was in 'the apple,' which is like half way between the national enquirer and the sun.
another article was about how a woman injured herself and someone else by jumping out of a train, thinking she would miss her stop. it had like, 6 diagrams to accompany the story! |

Hamas 'Mickey Mouse' Preaches Resistance

| A giant black-and-white rodent — named "Farfour," or "butterfly," but unmistakably a rip-off of the Disney character — does his high-pitched preaching against the U.S. and Israel on a children's show each Friday on Al-Aqsa TV, a station run by Hamas. |

Man that is crazy, I mean I think even a vegan mother would go right ahead and stick a tit in the kid's mouth to keep it alive. |

Is breastmilk vegan-friendly? Is it an "animal product"? I don't know!
Correct answer: WHO GIVES A SHIT

Yeah, you know I assumed the point of veganism was to do no harm to, to not exploit any animals. Who exactly do these bozos thing is being exploited in this case? Do they think the baby is exploiting the mother as a food source, the little parasite? You'd think she would have the ability to waive her rights in this instance.
Or maybe they figure if you give it the taste for blood, it'll never live it down. It'll be all "milk, milk, MILK" from one to a hundred. |

"It was quite a ride," the man reportedly told police.
"The man spilled his soda pop, but he wasn't upset," Sgt. Kathy Morton of the Michigan State Police said. |
