It's official, I wanna see the new Dark Knight flick when it comes out.

I've never been a huge Anne Hathaway freak, but looking at her playing Catwoman in the new Batman movie just gets the juices flowing.
A photo showing her in the Catwoman outfit has been released, and it's hot!



I do think, however, Olivia Wilde would've made a good Catwoman as well.

Seems tough UK gun laws still let idiots have access to firearms...

Wart blasted off with shotgun

For five years Sean Murphy from Doncaster, UK, was sent nuts by a painful wart that simply wouldn't shift. He even tried numerous treatments, but to no avail.

It turns out the pain from the wart was so bad that he decided to shoot the darn thing off, by using his 12 bore!!!!

But not only did the shot take off almost his whole finger, it also left him facing 15 years in jail for the illegal possesion of a firearm.

When interviewed, with only a stump to show for the middle of his left hand, and a suspended 16-week prison sentence, he insisted he had no regrets.

“I’m happy with that, I know I could have gone to jail for up to 15 years for a firearms offence. My solicitor did a very good job."



"Happy with that". What?!? Dude!! A wart must be seriously annoying you for you to want to shoot the fucker off! And now to top it all off, he can't 'flip the bird' to anyone who fails to indicate at a traffic island or questions his parentage!

I'd hate to imagine what he'd do if he got piles!!!

Ever heard of Ex-Lax?

Man inserts milk bottle up his bottom 'to relieve constipation'.

A 60 year old man from ZHUAI, CHINA, presented himself to hospital staff complaining of a curious ailment, a full sized milk bottle lodged up his rectum.

After a bit more questioning, it turns out the elderly gent had a rather severe bout of constipation, and decided it would be a good idea to stick the bottle where the sun doesn't shine, in an attempt to try and stimulate his bowel. He had a nasty surprise when it became lodged and he couldn't remove it.

It is still not understood why he didn't seek more orthodox methods, as there are plenty of medicines and pills available over the counter. 


Yeah! Ok! Why? Hmmmmmm? How bout Mr Chinaman felt a bit frisky and couldn't find his usual 'plaything', and thought this would be a good idea. 

FAIL

On second thought, he'd of been in a lot more trouble had it of BROKE!! He'd of been shitting glass for a month!

NO LOVE FOR 'HITLER CAT'

Animal charity staff are bewildered as to why a kitten was overlooked for adoption, but think they have a reason in mind.

'Kitler', as the six week old female kitten has become affectionately known, bears a striking resemblance to the hated Nazi leader because of her striking black moustache. 

Spokesperson for Wood Green animal shelter in Godmanchester, Cambbridgeshire, said "Kitler is an adorable little girl who will make a wonderful addition to the right family. She is really playful and a typical sweet kitten. We rehome five and a half thousand animals every year but we cannot find a loving owner for Kitler. We think her unusual markings are putting people off."

After googling this i found a website 

http://www.catsthatlooklikehitler.com 

where there is a whole website full of these. Tbh, this one above was a cutie, and im surprised nobody snapped it up.

Notech take notice: Monk’s Waste Food



In apparent response to Honda-X’s inquisitive nature, Notech’s friends from across the pacific have liberated 534 lobsters, by releasing the prehistoric crustaceans back to the Atlantic. Showing, at least in the eyes of Tibetan Monks, a life is a lifeisalife…. Instead of feeding the hungry of Boston, Mass., this group of doo-gooders used their own money to purchase 600 pounds of the hard headed little critters from a local seafood wholesaler.

The release ceremony, performed in celebration of the Tibetan lunar calendar’s “Wheel Turning Day” included such niceties as prayers, mantras and walking the oversized crawdads around “blessed” items. Then they clipped their claw bands, sprinkled them with their equivalent of Holy Water, and dropped them into the abyss.

Said participant Victoria Fan, (a grad student if you can believe it) “It’s rethinking the way you normally see these creatures”, as she stood next to a sign for lobster dinners @ $15.99, “you’re supposed to view them equally. Their happiness is as important as your happiness, their suffering is as important as your suffering”.

Gampo Abbey will provide you with a tax deductible donation receipt if you are so moved by their kindheartedness that you wish to support the cause.

Story here: http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/08/05/us-lobsters-buddhists-odd-idUSTRE7743ZG20110805

SUFFERING!!!... Does this dittz have any idea how bad I’m suffering just thinking about 600 lbs. of the tastiest animal on the planet being dumped over the side of a boat?



Reportedly, longtime Cape Cod fishermen, “Patch” Reynolds, stated that his cod nets, located just ¼ mile from the release site were full of bloated cod. Upon processing, it was discovered the fish ate quite well the night before. Mr. Reynolds said “It’s pretty ironic that I sold fish for $2.00/lb. to the same wholesaler those monks used to feed the fish. It’s sort of like a death row inmate requesting lobster for his last meal. Maybe the monks can take some solace in knowing the fish died happy.

Just look at the joy this man is receiving from his life giving gesture…. Oh, doesn’t it just warm your heart?

MYSPACE ANGLE MONKEY

An Indonesian Macaque monkey is in hot water for stealing a photographers camera and taking some pictures of himself. 

Award winning photographer David Slater looked on amazed as the Macaque made off with the camera, after knocking it off its stand and setting off the flash.

It appears the cheeky monkey went to inspect the equipment and spotted his reflection, whicvh made him interested enough to steal it.

"At first there was a lot of grimacing with their teeth showing because it was probably the first time they had ever seen a reflection", said Slater
"They were quite mischievous jumping all over my equipment, and it looked like they were already posing for the camera when one hit the button."


Now, I'm all for a nice selfshot, ive got lots in my favs, and I'm all for a nice smile too. But this sort of thing seems ridiculous!

Dead animal prompts government investigation

A squashed animal is causing curiosity and has prompted a government investigation in Minnesota.
Apparently it's hard to tell, sometimes, what a flat, half-baked dead animal is. In the "land of a gazillion lakes" Minnesotianites get freaked out by a dead dog.
They don't know what to think aboot it, because it doesn't really look like a dog. (No shit, it's squashed)
The animal is described as a "dead white mammal ... with five claws, dark tufts of hair on its back and head, and long toenails."
Maybe the chubacabra moved up north to get out the hellish temperatures down south.
It's been described as looking like a pig, or a wolf. (yea...pigs and wolve are very similar looking)
One expert says it is likely a badger, since they have five claws on their feet, and the size of the animal matches up.

Check it out, whatever it is ... it's ugly!

Chinese boy kept as slave

Isn't that what kids are for? Free work?
And now they have less to do, since we all have TV remotes now, they have less responsibility.
BUT, keeping a kid chained outside with the dog is messed up.
Even in China....that's just wrong.
Yea, a 12-year-old Chinese boy has been chained up by his uncle for the past two years. Why? The uncle says it is for the kid's own safety, cause he's a retard (I'm sorry, that was insensitive and politically incorrect)...he's mentally handicapped, or challenged, or delayed, or whatever.
Maybe, instead of sex education for the Chinese (as mentioned in a previous story), Chinese people need to take parenting classes.

The Girls are Feeling SEXTy

Wanna Weinergate? Think boys are the ones doing all the sexting? Think again.

In a a 3:2 ratio, women are found to be more likely than men to send texts including nude photographs and sexually explicit words. The study also found, quite surprisingly, that women were more likely to follow up with a personal encounter by about the same ratio.

The study has multiple scientific flaws, but it looks like cheating is alive and well… and as popular websites like WBW prove, them gals know how to use their phones.

STRAIGHT PRIDE DAY

Legislation has been handed into the mayors office in SAO PAULO, BRAZIL calling for a 'Heterosexual Pride Day'.

Should the bill go forward, it will be held on the third sunday of December in the largest city in South America. Sao Paulo Mayor, Gilberto Kassab, must ok the idea for it to become law, and is refusing to be drawn on the subject.

Carlos Apolinario, the author of the legislation, was quoted as saying Heterosexual Pride Day is "not anti-gay but a protest against the privileges the gay community enjoys." He then went on to explain that the citys Gay Pride ceremony is allowed through one of the main thoroughfares of the city, however evangelical groups are not afforded the same privilege on 'Jesus Day'. 

"I respect gays and I am against any kind of aggression made against them," Apolinario said. "I have no trouble coexisting with gays as long as their behaviour is normal" he added. 

Violence towards homosexuals in Brazil appears to be a problem however. With 260 Gay murders last year alone, up 115% in the last five years.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/8680624/Sao-Paulo-council-calls-for-Heterosexual-Pride-Day.html

I personally have nothing against Homosexuality at all. I adopt a live and let live policy that most of the civilised world does too. However for this wingnut to say that he is 'ok with the gay' as long as they act "normal" is just wrong. i mean, what exactly is 'Normal'. and to that end, does that mean that most gays aren't 'normal'. Do they act in an 'abnormal' manner? Its obvious this dude has an issue, and his way around it is to try and rub this march in the face of Homosexuality, which in my eyes is absolutely wrong.

If on the other hand, its a cause for a party, and its not used as a tool to verbally and visually bash homosexuality, then im all for it. Who knows, we may get some pics and videos uploaded!!!!

SPLITTING THE ATOM - IN A KITCHEN!


A swedish man has been arrested after he was found to be conducting atom-splitting experiments in his kitchen - as a hobby!

Police were called to the home of Richard Handl in southern Sweden, by Sweden's Radiation Authority, after Richard himself had contacted them about the legality of his hobby.

Handl had also kept and online blog of his attempts to make his own nuclear reactor, and had quantities of radioactive elements radium, americium and uranium. His online blog even had entries about creating his own meltdown on his stove!

“I have always been interested in physics and chemistry,” Handl said, adding he just wanted to “see if it’s possible to split atoms at home.
From now on, I will stick to the theory.”

Police refused to comment on the charges, and if a conviction is on the cards, he may face up to to years in prison, or substantial fines.

WHAT THE HELL? 
Now, im no nuclear scientist, however im sure it would be difficult to get my hands on some Radium or Uranium. You don't just go to your local supermarket and get some do you? Add to that, if some dude can get some for an experiment in his kitchen, whats to stop some mad terrorist getting some for experiments on humankind? Lets just be thankful he didn't create a major incident, as im very fond of Sweden, for obvious reasons.........

i meant IKEA!

You Want a Lawyer Like This

Elana Nightingale Dawson, 29, a graduate of Northwestern Law School in Evanston, Ill. gives birth just 2 hours after completing the Bar Exam.

Shortly after beginning the final 3 hour segment of the 2-day exam, labor pains started. "I thought if I put my head in my hands and breathe deeply and do what I learned in (birthing) class, I would get through it," Dawson said. "My goal was to get through the exam as fast as I could and leave, barring anything happening that made me think there was something more imminent going on."

Dawson gave birth to a boy, Wilson, via Caesarean section at 5:58 p.m., less than two hours after she left the exam room.

She doesn't know the results of the test yet, but said, "The last hours of the exam were not my strongest moments in terms of focus, so I am perfectly content with what happens."

Now, I'm telling you, if I go to court, this is the kind of woman I want as my lawyer. As the legend grows, I can see her 10 years from now when some stiff pricked judge says "Ms. Dawson, I'm warning you, I will hold you..."

"YOU WARN ME? !!!, Listen up you swingin' Dick, I graduated Mr. Horndog's "Sexual Discrimination" class Madehim Cum Louder and gave birth in middle of my fuckin' Bar Exam..... YOU AIN'T SEEN CONTEMPT!!!

Feed Her Right, You Might Get Lucky

The NY Times has put a nice 20 frame slide-show together, showcasing legendary aphrodisiacs complete with recipes.

Whether it is the shape, as with the fig, the texture and nutrients, ie: oysters, the melt-her-heart chocolates or something else that makes it qualify, some of these tasty treats have been regarded since ancient times for their ability to enhance the sexual experience. If you are a "foodie" it is worth a quick perusal.

It Finally Happened

In an unprecedented move, Standard & Poors did what was threatened, they downgraded the debt rating of the US Government.

Long known to be running amok, perhaps this will be a wake-up call to US politicians. The world's largest economy is being raped by the employment concerns of politicians more in love with Washington than their country. S&P expressed serious concerns about the political system and their resolve to solve it, and said in their statement "The downgrade reflects our view that the effectiveness, stability, and predictability of American policymaking and political institutions have weakened at a time of ongoing fiscal and economic challenge."

The Obama administration reacted with a flippant "A judgment flawed by a $2 trillion error speaks for itself," a Treasury spokeswoman said, claiming that the S&P opinion contains a $2 Trillion dollar overstatement of the federal deficit.

Although a warning of the downgrade had been announced previously, it was not official until Wall Street closed for the weekend. Response on Monday is uncertain, with experts providing opinions across the board.

Story here: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/06/business/us-debt-downgraded-by-sp.html?_r=1&src=me&[blacklisted]general

It's about time. I have lost faith in politicians of all shapes, sizes and political leanings. While my personal viewpoints lean hard to the conservative side, Republicans and Democrats alike share in the mess that's been created. If they don't join together in an effort eradicate social welfare and being the world's police force, this economy is going to collapse. The US is on a precipice, if you ask me, and leaning hard toward the abyss.


So, I'm looking for a little clarity here. A lot of forums tend to squash political posts. Are you expecting moderator commentary to be vanilla, or are the opinions of the mod welcome to be shared?

Grand Theft Auto: Lithuania....

LITHUANIAN MAYOR CRUSHES ILLEGALLY PARKED CAR WITH TANK






Arturas Zuokas, Mayor of Vilnius, has announced his solution on the illegal parking problem in his town, by crushing one in a tank.

A video on youtube ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-fWN0FmcIU   shows the plucky politician casually crushing a Mercedes parked illegally in a bicycle lane, and then giving the bewildered driver a ticking off.

"That's what will happen if you park your car illegally" he told the dumbfounded driver. 

Speaking to reporters on site, the crazy custodian stated "I wanted to draw attention to the fact that if you have a car and lots of money, it still doesn't mean that you can park your car wherever you want,"

After sweeping up the broken glass, he shook the hand of the owner of the car and said "Next time, park your car legally."

The mayor then rode off on his bicycle.
