Because, in every level of society, in every country, in every age, there are genetic failures that need to be purged from the surface of the Earth.

Probably would have been the best thing possible for that baby, before CPS took the baby.

A YOUNG mum died after a series of blunders by doctors who failed to spot a six-inch long TOILET BRUSH HANDLE embedded in her buttock, an inquest was told today.

Cindy Corton, 35, was left with the bizarre injury after a drunken fall in a friend's bathroom in 2005 but "serious errors" by doctors then led to her death.

It was two years before Cindy, who was in constant pain, was able to convince doctors that the thin serrated plastic handle was stuck in the flesh of her bottom.

By then what should have been a routine procedure to remove it had become much more dangerous because the handle had become embedded in her pelvis.

Viagra associated with hearing loss?

WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY?

I'm sorry, for those of you who are affected: VIAGRA ASSOCIATED WITH HEARING LOSS.

So? Do men ever listen anyway, especially when the penis is involved?

Alien wearing 'I'm hiding from the cops' T-shirt arrested

Quote:
William Velasquez Castillo, 27, was arrested by U.S. Marshals in Lucedale late Wednesday evening, Jackson County Sheriff Mike Byrd said.

Investigators have been searching for Castillo since April 3 when a 10-year-old girl told investigators he molested her in a vehicle in Ocean Springs, Byrd said. Castillo's last known residence was on Derry Street in Ocean Springs, the sheriff added.

A warrant was issued for Castillo on April 23 and detectives believe he fled the area shortly after learning he was wanted by authorities, Byrd said.

"At the time of his capture William Castillo was wearing a T-shirt that stated, 'I'm hiding from the cops.'"

There is also a hold placed on Castillo for the U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement. "ICE has their own investigation," Byrd said.

I thought according to new Arizona law that they all were wearing the t-shirt. Oh wait.....this is not the politics thread.

Interesting choice of words from Delay on gun ban and now I am stuck with a horrible mental image:
http://cbs2chicago.com/local/daley.g...2.1707469.html

Then the odd explanation after the original choice of words:
"Asked what prompted him to pick up the rifle in the first place, Daley said, "It was a gun with a bayonet. … just think, a gun with a bayonet. What is a bayonet used for?"

Son, father and grandfather all born on same day
Quote:
A family has defied the odds to have a son, father and grandfather all born on the same day.

When Benjamin Fox arrived in the world on May 8 he shared the same birthday as not only his father Lee but also his grandfather Harry.

Bookmakers have worked out the odds of three generations of the same family all having boys born on the same day as 272,910 to one.

Those odds seem way too low.

Still means there's around 23,817 of them, given a global population of 6.5B.

If it were perfectly random, those might be the odds (I'm not going to do any math here.) But since the people involved have a tremendous influence over the outcome you can get the odds to be close to 100%. I'd bet you could easily make the odds 50/50 without even trying that hard.
