Yeah, that was kind of nuts. Mind you, I don't think most 8th graders will have their brains blown for life, but she shouldn't have shown it to them.


That reminds me of the teacher at my elementary school that showed The Shining to his Grade 4 class. WTF?

Tinky Winky's thoughts on Rev. Falwell in Salon

QUOTE
In the resulting media firestorm, gay-rights activists called for Winky to come out while Christian groups demanded the BBC fire him so that he couldn't, in Falwell's words, "role-model the gay lifestyle."

"It was traumatizing, really," says Winky, who now owns a holistic healing center and makes occasional appearances on British TV. "I'm a very private Teletubby. I just wanted to get away, go over the hills and far away. But when you're 7 feet tall and purple with an antenna on your head and a TV screen in your belly, where are you going to go?"

On the one hand, hee. On the other hand, according to this version she was rather less worried about harm coming to anyone else - the shop owner is recovering from stab wounds.

She said she found out what her son Marcel, 18, was planning when she went to a DIY store with him and he asked her to get him some rope and some duct tape - and told her to make sure she left no fingerprints on it.


Neither mother nor son sound too bright.

Oh noes! Cutty Sark on fire. Horrible news for anyone at all historically minded. From the tv pictures it's hard to imagine there's going to be anything left of the poor ship though a lot of the fixtures and fitting are in storage at the moment.

Woe. That makes me oddly weepy, and I'm not even a boat-y person.
