This is so crazy I can't come up with headline

Reuters is becoming my favorite source of insanity. This time, Islamic clerics have ruled that if a man divorces his wife while he is in a state of drunkeness, he cannot immediately remarry her when he comes out of his stupor. First, the clerics say, the woman must marry another man for ONE day.... Sign in to see full entry.

The Criminal Mind, You Gotta Love It

A 42 year old Chinese woman has been charged with smuggling heroin in a most unusual way. It seems she soaked underwear and long johns in the contraband. She says she's innocent. She swears the underwear was planted on her. Hmmmmmmm. FIFTEEN PAIR? Sign in to see full entry.

Jon Benet

So it finally comes to an end, sort of. I can't even imagine what this family has gone through. Who here didn't have even a hint of an idea that someone in that family killed that little girl? I know I did. Everything seemed to point that way. And now the mom is dead. She went knowing she DIDN'T do... Sign in to see full entry.

On Cheese Logs

The Border Patrol just nabbed a Mexican who was trying to smuggle 88 pounds of cheese hidden in a special compartment in his truck. Cheese...not crack...cheese. It wasn't even a cheese log. Just plain cheese. The cops discovered the offending cheese via use of sophisticated cop equipment---xray... Sign in to see full entry.

Parents Buying Cashmere for Babies/Toddlers

We've been seeing a huge procreation/adoption trend with celebrites. Smart entrepreneurs have jumped on that trend and have catered to the little prince or princess's every whim. I remember watching a show on who much celebs spend on clothing, toys, bling (P Diddy blings the kids), and bday parties... Sign in to see full entry.

Mike Douglas dies on his 81st bday

He was one of the guys who started it all, the variety shows when they were really just fun for fun's sake. No one had problems, and everyone had therapists (Hey, write that line down. I like that.) Douglas maintained that his was not a talk show of any sort, but he never corrected someone who... Sign in to see full entry.

Muppet Porn

Let me start by saying it is reported that Jim Henson's son is said to be very proud of the latest muppet effort which is a decidedly adult-only puppet show. Hmmm. Jim Henson's Puppet Improv is trying to jumpstart a revival of adult puppetry, and it seems to be working. At the Edinburgh Fringe Arts... Sign in to see full entry.

There's Darwinism

and then there's common sense. This one could fall into either category. It's from Reuters. A lot of my crazy stuff is coming out of Reuters these days: "A Brazilian man died Tuesday when he tried to open what police believe was a rocket-propelled grenade with a sledgehammer in a mechanical workshop...

We can make you less stupid...so say the Germans

I'm going to let you run with this. I think it speaks for itself. This is coming out of Reuters. "A German scientist has been testing an "anti-stupidity" pill with encouraging results on mice and fruit flies, Bild newspaper reported Saturday." The only question I have is how does one measure the... Sign in to see full entry.

Teenage Sex

First, hi to all. It has been awhile and I've missed being here. I'm hoping to tweak some things, but essentially pick up where I left off. There are too many weird things to ignore writing about them...and I'm the person to do it. Terpgirl30 ------ "CHICAGO - Teens whose iPods are full of music... Sign in to see full entry.
