Remember, guys, American public school is shit. So I can see that being necessary.

I will confess that I was momentarily confused by the similarity of the names, and by them calling the pair of Russian extraction when I knew the Czech Republic is its own entity.

This was cleared up in under five minutes

I'd be a bit less embarrassed if it weren't for the fact that right now, here in southeast Minnesota, I am closer to Mexico City than Prague is to Grozny.

The BBC does an article on the Shits & Giggles theory of auto-immune.

For the record, literally every time someone complains about hayfever, psoriasis, asthma, eczema or whatever, I tell them to get infected with tapeworms for their own good. Nobody has yet been stupid enough to just take my unqualified suggestion at face value.

Every so often, you might get concerned that your country is insane. But fear not! Your country isn't Saudi Arabia, which just deported three men for being too handsome.

Here's one of the men:

Pretty handsome, but is he really deportation material? I mean, compare him to Idris Elba, Ryan Gosling, or William Levy. I would have to say that the Vice and Morality police of Saudi Arabia have set their handsomeness limits way too low.

It looks like he's wearing a bit of makeup. Perhaps the powers that be didn't want his metrosexuality to rub off on them.

Generally that ought call for a stoning in Saudia Arabia tho right, so maybe they had connections?

Let me prepare one of The Onion's tomorrow headlines: "Barely hiding an erection, Saudi official deports three men for being too handsome"

Yeah, if there's anything I learned from Oded Fehr and The Mummy it's that a lot of women really dig it if you can pull off the swarthy-dude-with-a-falcon look.

People with eating disorders scare the crap out of me.
For example this video: (not safe if you still need to eat I guess)

It just scares me that people who look like that think they are fat.

Natural gas explosion near FAMU film school in Prague.

Frank, you alright?

Yeah, Charles University has campuses all over Prague. Our hospital is over on the west side. I don't think we even got any patients from that, because there's another faculty hospital down the street.

Natural gas explosions happen here all the time, because privatization. The Soviets did a kind of half assed job installing this stuff sometimes and the new private company isn't really motivated to do anything about it.

Is this like the meteor shower in Russia, where everyone outside of the country is all freaking out, but the people there just stoically lower their visors against the bright light, not giving a shit at all?

Amanda Knox: O.J. Simpson 2.0

Not really. I mean, for one Knox didn't actually kill anyone, where as O.J totally did.

I'm sure people in Russia gave a shit, especially those injured, but I mean what are ya gonna do otherwise? Lowering visors to protect against the light seems prudent.

lol dude... the only guy who is in jail is a black dude from ivory coast who admitted being there, but didn't actually commit the murder or rape her. the court in italy actually wants to resume the whole case. she was sentenced to 3 years in prison for defaming, though.

sabs · Post by **sabs** » Wed May 01, 2013 8:41 pm

Defaming who? exactly.
That whole case stinks to high heaven. It's one of the main reasons why Americans get shifty eyed when you start telling them they are subject to other countries' laws.

I have no idea who killed that poor girl. It's pretty clear noone else does either, and that Amanda Knox did not get anything resembling a fair trial. There's basically no evidence against her excet the Ivory Coast guy's testimony, and that testimony is super suspect for many reasons.

i'd be far more concerned if i was subject to american law.

in other news:

some kentucky redneck kid of five killed his two year old sister with his rifle with the brand "my first rifle".

that obviously could only happen because she didn't have a gun to protect herself
