The crime, penis snatching, the punishment, lynching!And beware of anyone with a gold ring, thats a sure sign of a crazed snatcher. This is some twisted shit for sure, Seems centuries later people are still getting arrested for witchcraft. And yes, the suspects were also extorting money in that old Chicago gangland method called “protection”. Reports of so-called penis snatching are not uncommon in West Africa, where belief in traditional religions and witchcraft remains widespread, and where ritual killings to obtain blood or body parts still occur. Rumors of penis theft began circulating last week in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo’s sprawling capital of some 8 million inhabitants. They quickly dominated radio call-in shows, with listeners advised to beware of fellow passengers in communal taxis wearing gold rings.
Not flowers in the attic, more like weeds in the basement… family found locked in basement after 24 years of imprisonment in windowless concrete room by her father, whom is also the father of her own children… thats some sick shit. How twisted does one need to be to commit that horrific crime against his own family. Police said the woman, identified as 42-year-old Elisabeth F, told them her father Josef had lured her into the basement of the block where they lived in the town of Amstetten in 1984, and drugged and handcuffed her before imprisoning her. Three of her children were locked up since birth in the basement of the drab, grey building along with their mother and had never seen sunlight or received any education, police said.
Hey, I’ve been insulted by much harsher words than “goon”, can I get paid also? Just when you think you’ve heard of some ridiculous shit to sue over… something like this comes along. I realize China censors their media but are U.S commentators also supposed to keep their opinions about junky Chinese products hush hush? I mean, my 2 day old “made in China” flip flops have already bit the dust after only 1 poolside stroll. HONG KONG (Reuters) - A Chinese primary school teacher and a beautician have filed a suit against CNN in New York over remarks they say insulted the Chinese people and are seeking $1.3 billion in compensation — $1 per person in China, a Hong Kong newspaper reported. The case against the Atlanta-based cable channel, its parent company Turner Broadcasting and Jack Cafferty, the offending commentator, comes after 14 lawyers launched a similar suit in Beijing alleging that Cafferty’s remarks earlier this month violated the dignity and reputation of the Chinese people. Cafferty said the United States imported Chinese-made “junk with the lead paint on them and the poisoned pet food” and added: “They’re basically the same bunch of goons and thugs they’ve been for the last 50 years”.

Seems that Japan takes its beef ban a bit way to seriously these days, even when the beef is preserved in formaldehyde for many years and encased in plastic as art. Yep, this is that fine art piece that anyone would want as part of the collection called pickled cow, this is larger than one of his earlier pieces that was a pickled fish and seems to be up in a bar somewhere in the UK. Yep, pickled cow may now be in a real pickle and need to be re-pickled to boot.

All I can say is WOW, it’s hard to believe this baby war born with two well formed faces. Talk about an odd looking kid.

BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — An Australian politician on Wednesday proposed designating a special day for residents to hunt and kill what he called one of the world’s most disgusting creatures: the poisonous cane toad.

But the government of new President Raul Castro has lifted that ban. There was no sign yet of two highly anticipated items: computers and microwaves, though salespeople said computers would soon hit the shelves.
The Vampire bomber, named Lestat, seems to have died.Lestat, the bomber was in jail for bombing a cash machine, however, I am not sure what the problem was since Lestat was apparently was issued a license to have bombs in Bolivia and even created some promo materials for his bombing work. I guess Bolivia is not big on background checks for licensing, had they checked, they may have found that the guy was a nut and believed himself to be immortal. Prison officials even had to admit the vampire bomber may have had mental issues after he was caught with a can of gasoline in his cell to use in burning down the jail. Vampire’ Bomber From Calif.
