While we're on the subject of pedos, here's a case that happened not far from where I live: A woman was caught offering her 7-year-old daughter for sex.

I read that story this morning, and I still can't understand how someone could do that.

I agree with Hannah, even though I was completely disgusted and appalled with stories like this in the past, now that I have children, it just floors me even more.

He's just your run of the mill con man, moving from town to town, scamming people since he was 15. But he's tired of running.

Shit, I missed this earlier. Nicely done!

Somebody that I work with was telling everyone one of the variations of the urban legend surrounding the song In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins. After her refusal to believe my assertions that it was a bogus story, I brought her into my office to do a quick wiki.

Scroll down and note the last variation of the legend:

wikipedia wrote

An urban legend has arisen around "In the Air Tonight" and its lyrical reference to drowning. Some popular variations are:

*Collins saw a man drowning but was too far away to do anything, but a man nearby who could have saved him did nothing. (Other versions of this rumor claim that the drowning was not an accident, but murder.)
*While vacationing together, Collins' best friend went for a swim. He began to struggle in the water but Collins, having never learned to swim, could not help. Collins stopped and asked a passing jogger for help; the man refused and Collins' friend died.
*While at camp as a child, Collins awoke to find his counselor missing. Looking outside, he saw the counselor standing by the lake doing nothing to help a drowning boy. (In some versions, the counselor is intentionally letting the boy drown.) Years later, Collins bought the man a front row ticket to one of his shows, put a spotlight on him and sang the song to him before the audience. Alternately, he was performing and noticed the man was in attendance, and then began performing the song and ordered the man to be spotlit. Again, depending on the version, either Collins had the man arrested, or the man was filled with guilt and committed suicide.
*Collins witnessed the rape of his wife and, years later, saw the man drowning but refused to help him.
*A young Collins and his best friend were at a lake when a man asked them if they wanted to go sailing. Collins had to eat dinner but promised to come back; when he did, his friend was missing and was never seen again. Years later, Collins invited the man to a concert and sang the song to him as above.
Collins, while on a pier with his wife, went down the pier for a brief moment, leaving his wife at the other end. When he returned, he saw that his wife was drowning, but before he could do anything, his wife had died. Collins realized next that there was a man that had stood at the end of the pier and watched the woman drown. The man could have nothing held against him, having no obligation to save the woman. The stranger also neglected to notice the husband of the woman was Phil Collins. Collins became obsessed with the man, spying on him and watching him at home. Collins sent the man a free front row ticket to his concert and the man, thinking it was strange, but seeing no reason to turn down a great seat to a great concert, attended anyway. Collins played a few songs into the concert, paying no notice to the man. Then all of the lights went off, as Collins seemed to be preparing for another song. Then two spotlights appeared, one pointing on Collins, who was sitting on a stool off of the stage now in front of a man (the stranger) who had the other spotlight trained on him. Collins proceeded to perform a new song, entitled "In The Air Tonight" seeming to direct it right at the anonymous man. At the point in the song where the drums kick in and the song becomes louder, Collins supposedly threw the stool onto the ground and all the lights went on. It is presumed that the man left after this song, realizing whose wife it had been that he had watched drowning, while the rest of the audience had no idea what the whole situation had been about, only suspecting the man had done something to anger Collins to a great degree.
*Collins, patronizing a convenience store, was angry about a man who took the last Hostess Koo-Koo cake. Collins never forgot about this and later sent the man a ticket to a concert, repeating the spotlight scenario detailed above.

I love catching wiki vandalism while it's still up!

They're funny 'cause they're true. (Or, at least, that's the claim.)

I've been swindled! I got what I thought was a 5 pence coin in my change, but closer inspection reveals it is actually 10 EAST CARIBBEAN CENTS! Which is worth less than 2 pence. I didn't even know there was an East Caribbean Dollar...

Umm, the reason people wear sporrans with a kilt is so that they have somewhere to keep the stuff they'd keep in their wallets, since there's no pockets on a kilt.

Not even a kilt with a codpiece?

We've been hit with a blizzard up here. Something like 4-6 inches dropped today, supposed to get up to 2inches more by tomorrow. I spent the last hour of work helping people shovel their cars out, and pushing stuck cars onto level ground. I got home, and had the joy of shoveling this heavy, wet shit so I can actually get into my house. Hoo-ray for spring!

Just wanted to share something with the rest of the class.

My mom was watching Eastenders (english soap dealio) and there was a scene where a baby was being baptized. Out of curiosity, I asked her if I was baptized and she said "no" so I'm pretty happy!! It's great knowing that I've had practically nothing to do with church! I say "practically nothing" because I went to church twice when my parents moved to Arizona.
I think my parents just wanted the church as a social event, since we didn't know anyone. Anyway, even at 10 years old, I couldn't believe that people believed in that crap!

I trust that you don't believe in that magic crap so being baptized would be irrelevant and meaningless anyway, right? Might as well be baptized in every church in sight (as long as they don't require circumcision), it doesn't matter if you don't believe. Further, if you do believe then baptism is still irrelevant.

it's good that you can avoid religon, but it would be even better is you could also avoid eastenders, given that it is total shiesse
