Um, OK.

Those aren't condoms in the photo, are they? Because those would be appropriately sized for my arm.

Manhole covers vanishing in Cardiff. Since the culprits are obviously aliens from another dimension who have found their portals blocked, it's a bit shocking that nobody has asked Torchwood to investigate (and make a few dirty jokes at the same time).

13-year-old girl charged as a sex offender and victim for having consensual sex with her 12-year-old boyfriend.

Huh.

Lily Rose- 12-09-2006
WTF? Why is she being charged at all? She should be grounded, or in counseling - this is a matter for her parents (and her boyfriend's parents) to deal with, not the courts.

When you find yourself slightly embarassed about what happened at the office party, and don't want to look your colleagues in the eye, just imagine how much worse you'd feel if you were the Bishop of Southwark
QUOTE
It is a question which might baffle the grea-*test*-('") minds in detective fiction, Father Brown, say, or Brother Cadfael: what happened to the Bishop of Southwark last Tuesday night? Was he mugged on the way home to Tooting from a pre-Christmas party at the Irish embassy? Or was he found wandering in a confused state in Crucifix Lane, near his cathedral, having supped not wisely, but too well?
The Rt Rev Tom Butler, 66, one of the Church of England's most senior bishops and a pillar of Thought for the Day on the BBC Today programme, says he has no idea. Others say he was seen sitting in the back of a Mercedes chucking children's toys out of the window and announcing: "I'm the Bishop of Southwark. It's what I do."


Admit it - we've all been there!

Hmmm. It's in Utah. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.

Fantastic. I need to become bishop of something so that I can use that line.

Mom dates son on internet for the lulz. Article written by the mother herself for the Daily Mail. My favorite comment on the Metafilter page:

QUOTE
Unfortunately, the site has real teenagers on it. And that was quite a shock. Where are these frightful young people the media bemoans, youngsters who can barely spell their own names and are obsessed with sex? They’re all on Bebo. It’s very depressing. These are tomorrow’s voters. No wonder the country’s in a mess.

Erm, strictly speaking the country's in a mess because of today's voters. You know... like you, you sociopath.

I'm glad I grew up in simpler times when all you had to worry about was Mum reading your diary...

I also like how the title of the Metafilter article is a quote from Oedipus Rex.

Woman has double hand transplant

I hope neither one of them is evil...

Man calls 911 to report stolen drugs (not the prescription kind). So, do you think he was a) high, b) very high, or c) stoned out of his mind?

PrincessCleo- 12-12-2006
I choose d) for "Duuuuuuude."

Aw! Cute baby seal found wandering miles inland released back into the wild.

Nothing says Happy Christmas like a penis-shaped tree
