Rain, rain, go away

MOSCOW 5/28/09 - When a Russian woman was rebuffed in her marriage proposal, she then got her boyfriend drunk at their breakup dinner and proceeded to detonate fireworks on his penis. She now faces 12 years imprisonment. {metro}

LONG ISLAND 6/4/09 - A deli owner who made headlines when he showed mercy to a would be robber by brandishing his rifle and then giving the failed-con a loaf of bread and $40, was busted only 2 weeks later for selling weed pipes in his store. So much for compassionate care. {daily news}

MATTER 6/11/09 - For all you chem-heads, a new element has been introduced to the Periodic Table and it is the heaviest element on the table. To date scientist are still looking for a new name. {sari}

VRIGINIA 6/12/09 - To curb sexual activity, Virginia's largest women's prison has decided to segregate lesbian-LOOKING inmates from the rest of the population. {conan}

EARTH 6/14/09 - A 14 year old boy somehow survived a 30,000 mph pea-sized meteorite crashing into his hand. This is only the 2nd documented case of a non-fatal meteorite impact. {telegraph}

BRITAIN 6/29/09 - BBC News Magazine had a 13 year old trade in his ipod for a walkman and document his thoughts. Pretty funny stuff that makes me feel old as I rocked a walkman when I first moved to nyc.

A recent study states that 50% of women have used a vibrator and more than 45% of men have incorporated them into their sex lives. Granted the study was done by Trojan Condoms, but here's to vibrating pleasure!

For the ex-Vice President who could call you an unpatriotic piece of terrorist liberal shit without breaking a sweat, Dick Cheney has been on the speaking circuit recently and lo and behold, hell has frozen over:

Cheney essentially admits that our original pretense for the Iraq War was false: "I do not believe and have never seen any evidence to confirm that [Hussein] was involved in 9/11."

Now if that wasn't weird enough, in the SAME speech he actually throws his support to gay marriage:

"I think, you know, freedom means freedom for everyone," Cheney said in a speech at the National Press Club. "I think people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish, any kind of arrangement they wish."

Cheney, whose daughter is gay, thinks it should be a state issue.

Woman sues Victoria's Secret claiming thong injury

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A woman who says she was hurt by her thong panties when a metal clip flew off and hit her in the eye has sued Victoria's Secret, saying in a TV interview on Thursday that the injury caused her "excruciating pain."

Macrida Patterson, a 52-year-old Los Angeles traffic officer, told NBC's "Today" show that she suffered cuts to her cornea from the small piece of metal that had been used to secure a rhinestone heart onto the blue thong.

"I was putting on my underwear from Victoria's Secret and the metal popped in my eye. It happened really quickly. I was in excruciating pain. I screamed. That's what happened," Patterson told NBC.

Skullfuckers

Authorities in Texas have filed corpse-abuse charges against two men who allegedly removed a skull from a grave and used it as a bong.

The Harris County District Attorney's Office confirmed on Thursday that misdemeanor abuse of corpse charges have been filed in the case.

Police in Houston believe the teens disturbed the grave of an 11-year-old boy who died in 1921.

Officers were interviewing one of the teens about a stolen debit card when he allegedly blurted out the story.

Funny thing is that this happened before in Vermont. Read more.....

Microwave

IDAHO - An Idaho man who thought he bore the 'mark of the beast' cut off his own hand with a circular saw, AP reports.

The man, in his 20s, then cooked the severed hand in a microwave oven before calling police.

He is now in protective custody in the mental health unit of Kootenai Medical Centre, the news agency reported.

Staff would not comment on whether the hand was reattached.

Ouch

The whole concept of genital mutilation doesn't make sense to me. I understand cultures have their own edicts such as arranged marriages and such but to physically circumsize a woman so she cannot feel pleasure doesn't make sense. Though I tend towards sexual egalitarianism, I realize the truth is that most men could never physically and emotionally carry a child just the same that men tend to be physically stronger. That being said, male dominated societies are a way of life for the majority of the world. It just baffles me that somehow, certain cultures took the piety above all else posturing for women to mean that women should never experience sexual pleasure.

Obviously for sheer procreation purposes it makes sense that a guy should nut faster and a women's orgasm takes longer. However, that should not be a carte blanche to eradicate their sensitivity in the name of chastity and honor. Hell, most of the dudes that support female mutilation probably never even work the clit as it is. Either way, I'm all for to each his own, but what about to each HER own.

Read about when a 13 year old girl died getting the procedure done.
