I thought as the occasional news report is being posted here, usually along with a link, a thread for minor (!) news and their discussion might come in handy, and maybe some interesting things turn up over time. I'll start with this one as a test balloon: Police close to making arrest in cruel Craigslist hoax | Local News | kgw.com | News for Oregon and SW Washington Because we all know that if it's in the internet, it must be true.:smile:
Yep, I read that in the paper this morning... It's a mean prank, but I must admit my first reaction was "Ooh I really would love to do that to X, that would really show him/her." I would never really dare to do that, the worst thing I ever did was subscribe my boss's email to a Seniors' newsletter (the one who was pretending to be 32, remember ?) but still, tempting when it comes to some people.
It's quite possible - I was boarding with a family while studying in Duluth, and they never locked the house.
The best Mad Fold Ups since 1968... Everything becomes a historical source! Fold-Ins, Past and Present - The New York Times
Simpsons yanked off the Venezuelan TV becaused it's "inappropriate for children" - to be replaced with "Baywatch" :tongue: ENTERTAINMENT - Comcast.net
Boobs are natural (well, exception made for miss Pamela), The Simpsons are yellow and only have three fingers, that is really offensive, man... Who's a pretty naughty boy? Barney the foul-mouthed parrot teaches other birds how to swear at tourists | the Daily Mail I read this one in this morning's free paper and laughed.
That article has so many cool lines, I could just quote the whole thing... Imagining how it must be to work there is much cooler, "with all the abuse flying about" plus the one African Grey shouting "shut up" at his cursing cell mates... 'I want my parents' parrot back with me. He wouldn't really curse properly, though, except for the occasional "Idiot! Numbnut! Burglar! Ahahahaha!" when he felt ignored.
Quite Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang-esque, I must say, although I was relieved to discover that the food was actually prepared by people...
