Some days you just run into many different and interesting stories.

There is the new humanoid skeleton found, then there was the giant sea roach and THEN there is the study on condoms. I never realized there was such science going into preventing condom failure. One way to reduce condom failure is so study men's anatomy.

Oh yes. This is the weird news of the day. People are actually getting paid to study this but what is weirder is men line up to take part in a study? Do they knock on a door and say,"excuse me, I'm part of a study...blah blah...May we take a measurement?"

Police have arrested two women after they tried to take the body of a dead relative onto a plane at Liverpool John Lennon Airport.

Staff became suspicious when the women tried to check in the man, who was wearing sunglasses, for a flight to Berlin on Saturday.

ha! I just came here to post this! Methinks the ladies do protest too much. I guess they wanted to bury him in his homeland and not pay the huge cost to fly a dead body.

DanaC · 04-07-2010, 07:43 AM

Either that or they were going to say he died on the plane and try to sue the airline :P

I suspect your suggestion is more likely

Carruthers · 04-07-2010, 07:57 AM

It's obvious, surely? They were trying to get him on board as carrion baggage.

DanaC · 04-07-2010, 08:06 AM

ouch. I think that joke probably broke at least three by-laws.

I guess the only thing one could ask is, "What the hell were they thinking?"

Heheheee. I read that as "broke at least three in-laws."

monster · 04-08-2010, 12:19 PM

certainly made mine crack up. And now I'm taking her to the plane, but hoping to deliver her still breathing

Muslim woman strangled by her burkha in freak go-kart accident

Quote:

A young Muslim woman had died after her burkha became snagged in a go-kart.

The 24-year-old woman, who has not yet been named, died a terrifying death today when a fluttering part of her burkha became caught in the wheels of a go-kart she was driving near the town of Port Stephens, north of Sydney.

The Muslim clothing the woman was wearing flew back as she sped around the track and part of it became entangled in the go-kart's wheels.

She was strangled in a second and crashed the vehicle.

Despite the efforts of paramedics who rushed to her aid, the neck and throat injuries she suffered were so severe that doctors were unable to revive her when she arrived at the John Hunter Hospital in the New South Wales city of Newcastle.

The young woman was riding the go-kart at a popular recreational area known as Bob's Farm, which offers rides of up to 15 minutes at a time.

Her death is being likened to that of American dancer Isadora Duncan, acknowledged as being the creator of modern dance, and who was famous for the flowing silk carves she liked to wear.

But while riding in an open-top car in Nice in 1927, her scarf became entangled in one of the vehicle's spoked wheels and she was strangled.

Isn't having fun illegal for Muslim women?
And Muslims in general?

I would assume so, as 'She was strangled in a second and parallel parked the vehicle' would be a little difficult.

I ain't gonna ride at Bob's farm no more
No, I aint gonna ride at Bob's farm no more
Well, I wake up in the morning
Fold my hands and pray to Allah
I got a head wrapped in a burka
With a piece all flapping back
It's a shame the way it gets caught in the wheels
I ain't gonna ride at Bob's farm no more.
