  • Jacques Clouseau, At Your Service

    French forensics at it's finest:

    French police who spent two years trying to identify a woman who was murdered by a blow to the head were relieved to discover the reason their efforts were failing: the woman died half a millennium ago.


    Sacre bleu!


  • A Religion Of Peace

    OK, this one is a bit hard on the stomach...

    A Pakistani Shiite Muslim beats himself with a knife to mourn the death of Islamic leader Imam Hussain, grandson of Prophet Muhammad, Thursday, Feb. 9, 2006 in Karachi, Pakistan.




    Now I know this might seem alien, violent, and upsetting to Westerners... but just think. At least this guy isn't one of those Christians! I mean, those backward, closed-minded Christians believe that gays shouldn't marry and that women shouldn't be allowed to get abortions. But, then again... Shiites believe that gay's shouldn't be allowed to continue breathing and that women shouldn't be allowed to read. Hmmmm... maybe I better check with some of the really good liberal relativists so I can figure out a better way to say "Muslim good, Christian bad."


  • Wonders Never Cease

    Medical science continues to astound:

    Isabelle Dinoire, who received the world's first partial face transplant, addresses a news conference at Amiens hospital in northern France, February 6, 2006.


    It is nice to have a story to feel good about now and then.

    The French forensics story didn't surprise me. They are, after all, French ;-)

    I can see the bumper sticker for the libbies... Muslims good, Christians, bad.

    I don't think the poor face transplant woman wass very stable to begin with. I heard she tried to commit suicide by drug overdose which is how she was unconscious enough for her dog to chew off parts of her face. I hope she can deal with her problems.

    Actually, we generally think they should be allowed the same rights as everyone else. I personally have no problem if a gay man marries a woman or a lesbian marries a man. ;)
