Cannabis discovered in tobacco pipes found in William Shakespeare's garden
 

Well, I suppose that might go some way towards explaining his 'comedies'. :rolleyes:

Prisoner caught with mobile phone and charger up his bottom
 

A phone AND a charger. :eek:

Perhaps somebody told him to 'shove it up your...'

Perhaps not.

Daily Telegraph

The whole (hole?) article was amusing, but that part had me really braying with laughter.

Never let it be said that the British Judiciary lacks a sense of humour.

Electronic bottom scan? Have the guards lost any other perks?

...butt-dialing...

Also:

Ouch. Twice. Each. Four times, in, and, out.

That was very funny. I can actually hear Cleese and Idle when I think about that exchange. Very Python-esque.

Thank goodness I am not the only one who read that in Cleese's voice!

A phone and a British charger. Not one of the newer murican bunch that crunches down to a tiny cube. Do you lot have the compact foldy ones now, or does British respect for grounding mean there were definitely three prongs sticking out?

We still go in for the three pin plug configuration.

We're anally retentive in that respect. So, it would seem, was Mr Palmer.

Well played C.

From the story, the gentleman in question did not come across as that well grounded...

I disagree. I thought that he was very down to Earth.

Pay-back's a bitch ...

Lion kills guide in ‘Cecil’ safari park in Africa
The Australian - 8/26/15

See! See!, if that guide had a bow & arrow he'd still be alive. But the left wing, socialist, commie, democrats, want to take our bows & arrows. :lol2:

Gerrymandered district has one voter - accidentally.

They were trying for zero.

*cheers*

Pffft, one female college student? With what's at stake, I hope she has secret service protection. :eyebrow:

I hope she can afford the insurance on that new car she's about to receive. Mysteriously.

She needs to figure out how to introduce legislation where all residents of the district get free healthcare paid for by property tax. Or some shit like that. She's the Queen of that district.

Why would the authority for such public decisions revert to the businesses there in the absence of voters? I kinda have to hurt my brain a little to even conceive of a district that has no voters, like, yeah, I am a parent, but I have never had any children. It's kind of the definition of the term. Anyhow, it's probably some leftover rule or worse, some new rule put in there by zombie voters to give voting power to corporations.

Corporations are not people, people. They should not have the right to vote, nor have the cause things to happen that require voters to enact. Oh wait, I'm dreaming. What's happening here is the local businesses are just trying to save on their lobbying expense. Costs money and is uncertain, like all marketing.

Because there would be no vote, so the businesses, who have the politicians in their pocket, would get their way when the decision got dumped back on council.
If businesses actually had a vote, they would beat her soundly.

Clearly all that hobnobbing with lawyers has paid off.
:D

A former Obama White House aide and candidate for Congress in Maryland’s 8th District goes public with arrest record:

Yebbut, why now?

I suppose it's as the man says in the last paragraphs...

No, that's borderline delusional. There are eight million stories in the naked city and he's too much of a politician for his to be the one that encourages.

Edited for concision.

Maybe a super-pac has offered tons of cash to the swiftboat others in that car that night to go public. Maybe even swear it was he who yelled. :cool:

Judge: If the US SCOTUS thinks we don't know what constitutes a marriage, we damn sure don't know what constitutes a divorce, so I ain't divorcing people until SCOTUS tells me what constitutes a divorce.


:lol2:

Hah. Nice.

Well duh, these cats depend on him, and his fellow judges, for their livelihood.
Plus "Contempt of Court" is the only thing you can be sent to jail indefinitely.
If they jailed everyone who has contempt for the courts, they would only collect a buck three eighty in taxes... for the country. :rolleyes:

What a tool.

Ah, the NYPD...

They shot at dude 84 times. Hit him once. Once. In the calf. That means they missed this idjit car jacker 83 times.

And, if you believe the talking head in the video (below), they did it with 16 shot revolvers.:eyebrow:



Also, talking head makes it sound like the cops were wearing red pants.

It would be reassuring to think they were aiming for a leg shot but with 83 misses they could just as easily have been aiming for his head. Could be the world's most accidental good shooting.

I don't know how one can fire 83 rounds, in NYC, and not hit somebody.

Yeh that does seem somewhat surprising.

It's the new police strategy to avoid civil strife. They don't shoot bullets at a suspect, they shot bullets all around the suspect so the suspect can't move without running into a bullet. That way if a suspect gets shot, it's the suspect's fault.

Good time to buy into ammunition manufacturers.

Elaborate cheating scandal in the chess world.

Arcangelo Ricciardi was ranked 51,366 in the world when he entered this chess tournament in Italy. He creamed everyone he played, and rose dramatically through the standings. But he had some peculiar mannerisms. He never got up out of his chair, and he had his arms crossed all the time with his fist jammed into his armpit. He also kept blinking like crazy. Officials were convinced he was cheating, and asked him to empty his pockets. They found nothing. They asked him to open his shirt, and he refused. So then they put him through a metal detector and found a camera hanging around his neck and some sort of remote vibrating device in his armpit. They deduced the camera transmitted the game to an accomplice and the accomplice sent moved to him through some sort of code to his vibrating armpit. And he was blinking to decipher the instructions.

Sounds like a really elaborate cheating system, and I don't understand it. According to the tournament's website.

I'd jam my fist in my armpit for 300 euros.
Heck, I'd do it for free AND take a photo if you asked nicely.

Wonder why his accomplice didn't just compete himself though?
Although maybe he was using one of those new fangled computer things behind the scenes.

Chess Sundae, chess world, not chest world. :p:

Please, oh pretty please.

Remember the guy that allowed his kids to carve their names on a hand rail in a nat'l forest, even after another guy asked him to stop them?

Justice.

Nice

Changes, they don't take 'em to school anymore, now they stay home with 'em.

I guess some things never change.

Park service wouldn't give out his identity, I guess to spare the family the Cecil treatment.

You'll have to excuse the second motorcyclist who drowned them out at one point. Terribly bad form.

Hmm, Pachelbel's Canon, good choice for stranded, frustrated people. Much better than Free Bird. :thumb2:

Pork Chops?

Congrats, made me guffaw in the library and made the man next to me paranoid.
One post, two wins.

Continuing the porcine theme...


Naturally, this has led to a lot of people calling back to the infamous pig-fucking episode of Black Mirror.

I can't fault him for this, I would have done it.

The only episode I've seen.

:)

There's a highly trained flock of birds waiting to intercept it.

But only if she was dead.;)

From the BBC website:

Emphasis mine. My guess is that any child growing up in Australia who can't get out of the way of a dangerous animal taller than a man is going to have trouble sooner rather than later.

Leaving a couple dozen of their dead bodies lying around ought to send some kind of message.

Usually does with most other species.

This has to be bullshit. It just has to be bullshit. I'm calling bullshit.

Her psychologist poured drain cleaner in her eyes because she wanted to be blind.

Sooo much bullshit in this story.

This just has to be triple-distilled, double-rectified bullshit.

I dunno man - there are many recorded cases of people seeking limb amputation because of this condition - and there have been surgeons willing to carry out the operation.

If it's true - then the psychologist needs prosecuting.

Would the New York Post lie to you? Has the New York Post ever lied to you?

Obviously she didn't want to have to see herself in the mirror anymore.;)
Google has 148,000 links for Jewel Shuping, and this supposedly happened in 2006.
