"Women who do not dress modestly...lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which increases (consequently) earthquakes."
~ senior Iranian cleric Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi

Women strut their stuff for Boobquake
Women flaunt their breasts in protest

and guess what? 
nothing happened!

According to the United States Geological Survey website there were 45 earthquakes worldwide as of Monday evening, including a 6.5-magnitude earthquake southeast of Taiwan and a 5.4 near the South Sandwich Islands region. In fact, over the last six days the number of earthquakes has ranged from 41 to 48.

present ideas

with my birthday speedily approaching, i figured i better toss all you present seekers a bone and give you a hint as to what i'd like...

i would like one of these:
this is einstein, a teeny tiny foal born in barnstead, new hampshire at a miniature horse farm.
even for a miniature horsie, he's a bitty one... just 14 inches tall and weighing in at only 6 pounds!
he could TOTALLY live in my backyard!

but i swear, if this story ends up like rupert the muntjac fawn, i might completely die inside and wander the earth like an emotional zombie, infecting others with my sense of dismay.

so much fail...

kickintheheadcomic says:
Whenever a TV product commercial plays I bust a gut during the parts where they show us what we're doing wrong and why we need the product.

This is my tribute to the hilarious work the actors in these infomercials do.

Man charged after mailing in stained parking ticket 

A man who received a parking ticket in Bartlett now faces criminal charges after authorities said he stained the citation with human excrement before mailing it back to the village.

Officials said Alexander J. Bailey, 22, of the 6N600 block of Medinah Road in Medinah, was arrested last week charged with disorderly conduct after a village hall employee found brown stains and a foul odor on the ticket and alerted police, authorities said. The original ticket was for $15, Bartlett police said.

Bailey also scrawled a note on the ticket indicating he'd used it to wipe himself, court documents said.

Bailey posted $500 bail and is due back in Cook County Circuit Court on June 11.

pornographic fundraising

sometime between last year and this year, the internet filters at my work have determined that raising money for cancer research is considered pornography.


granted, the site i am interested in is in support of cancers below the waist.
and the annual event IS called the underwear affair...
still, i doubt that any of the breast cancer sites are similarly blocked.

in any case, the underwear affair is a wonderful fundraiser that i had the pleasure of participating in last year and i'm already all signed up to do it again this year! i will have more details later but for now i suggest you go see what it's all about... that is, if you can!

lurking in a parking lot near you...

the only thing that would have made this better is if there had been a car seat in the back...

the stuff nightmares are made of

ok, so i WAS going to try and pick another picture off this site but i just couldn't do it... i barely got past the second second picture and the third picture had me in a panicked rush to turn off the whole internet entirely. so i'm just going to use the picture from the forwarding site... it is frightening enough.


if that picture along with the popular myth that you swallow about a dozen spiders in your sleep over your lifetime didn't have you running for the hill (arguable a bad choice since spiders like nature) then maybe you'll be interested in this site:

ROFLSpiders

Here's a little description from the site:
At the risk of sound preachy or ruining the joke by deconstructing it,  this website is powered by the kind of irony that is only possible on the internet, being our humble counter-response to those other terrible and uncreative image macro sites out there.
Or, maybe you just like spiders.  That’s cool too. 

DISCLAIMER: unless you want to feel creeped out for the rest of the day (or for the rest of your life), DO NOT visit this site. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
