OT - a lighter take on the news
« on: March 14, 2003, 08:39:00 AM »
Weird and wonderful tales from the BBC's ten things you didn't know this time last week (it's last weekend's but it's still entertaining). Americans may enjoy No 7 while John Lennon would have turned No 9 into a song (No 9... John Lennon... get a feeling of deja vu about that).. oh, and most computer owners will at least feel some sympathy for No 10.
How about a link to your favourite off-the-wall story of the week?

And No. 1, makes one wonder about the sanity of that woman, (and his elevator may not go all the way up either!)
Do not fear your enemies.  The worse they can do is kill you.  Do not fear friends.  At worst, they may betray you.
Fear those who do not care; they neither kill nor betray, but betrayal and murder exist because of their silent consent.

Did you know President Bush now has 4 confirmed European countries in our alliance?! There is Spain, of course, but we can also count on England, Great Briton, and the United Kingdom!    

(heard it Wednesday on All Things Considered, should be in the archives by now!)
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF COUNTRIES
Those that use metric = #1 Measurement system
And the United States = The Banana system
CAUTION! Childhood vaccinations cause adults! :yes:

From number 1:

Her 43-year-old husband said: "There's no stopping her now."
 

Like  he  has nothing to do with it.
