Fake Breasts Banned in Space

Breast Implants(United Kingdom) Virgin Galactic is booking reservations for its inaugural flight into space -- scheduled for 2008. Consequently, measures have been established to assure safety including a ban on individuals with artificially augmented breasts.

From Sky.com:

Bosses fear the implants may expand and burst due to cabin pressure, according to The Sun.

More than 157 people have paid 115,000 British Pounds [about $200,000] each to travel into space on the Virgin Galactic space "shuttle."

Spokesman Will Whitehorn said: "We've discovered there may well be issues with breast augmentation.

"We're not sure whether they could stand the trip - they could well explode."

People with heart or circulation problems may also be ruled out.

It's not clear whether artificial penile augmentation will also be banned. However, one has to assume that any rejections of prospective passengers will be based entirely on the honor system. There must be a law that prevents spaceport screeners from searching for evidence of cosmetic surgery.

Man Divorces Wife While Sleeping

(West Bengal, India) Using all my imagination, I couldn't come up with this scenario.

From Aljazeera.net:

A Muslim couple in India have been told by local Islamic leaders that they must separate after the husband "divorced" his wife in his sleep.

The Press Trust of India said in a report published on Monday that Sohela Ansari had told friends that her husband Aftab had uttered the word "talaq" or divorce, three times in his sleep.

When local Islamic leaders heard about the incident, they said Aftab's words constituted a divorce under an Islamic procedure known as "triple talaq."

The couple, married for 11 years with three children, were told that they had to split.

The religious leaders ruled that if the couple wanted to remarry they would have to wait at least 100 days. Sohela would also have to marry another man, spend at least a night with him and be divorced by him.

So, in a nutshell, Aftab accidentally divorces his wife because he talks in his sleep, OR she made it up to get rid of him. Either way, I'm bewildered by the screwiness of the religion of peace.

Google Chumming Pays Off

From this, comes this comment:


What a magnificent body and beautiful flat stomach. If her breasts weren't so tiny, I'd "cross the street" and become bi-sexual in a heartbeat.

Take that, punks!

In other news, I'm taking a leave of absence. Cya in the funny papers.

Chirac Outraged by Speech in English

Chirac ShockedSacre bleu!

From Telegraph.co.uk:

President Jacques Chirac of France stormed out of a European Union summit last night after a French employers' leader said that English was "the language of European business."

The walk-out, seen by Tony Blair, prompted a sheepish exit by the French foreign, finance and Europe ministers and threatened to derail the summit before it had begun.

The officials were meeting to resolve growing concerns regarding several EU countries erecting trade barriers to inhibit cross-border competition.

As I recall, not too long ago the French passed some sort of resolution which outlawed the term "email" in Internet communications because it was English. Chirac's display yesterday is consistent with the email resolution and indicative of French arrogant nationalism and rejection of homogeneity, diversity and integration.

Chirac subsequently defended his walkout.

"I have to say I was profoundly shocked to see a Frenchman express himself in English at the (EU) Council table. That's why the French delegation and myself walked out rather than listen to that," Chirac told reporters.
So, it comes down to profound shock that a Frenchman spoke English at an EU meeting. I'd guess Spanish and Arabic would also have been out of the question. Or, maybe not. It could be that he only has a boner for the English language.

Expect a mixture of sleet and snow this evening, but changing to all snow after midnight. Early this evening, patchy rain may also occur across extreme southeast nebraska. Snow will continue Monday and Monday night before tapering to flurries early Tuesday. Additional snowfall will range from 8 to 14 inches during this time. The omaha metro area will likely see an additional 8 to 11 inches of snow while the lincoln metro area may receive an additional 10 to 13 inches of accumulation. Northeast winds will also increase to 20 to 30 mph which may produce areas of blowing snow.
A winter storm warning means significant amounts of snow, sleet, and ice are expected or occurring. Strong winds are also possible. This will make travel very hazardous or impossible.

Would one of you kind people please e-mail God and tell him that THE FIRST DAY OF SPRING IS TOMORROW!!!

I'm a little verklempt right now, I may say something I'll regret and end up roasting marshmallows with Mohammed.

Google Sued for Downgrading Website's Search Ranking

(San Jose, California) In the 21st Century equivalent to the smoky back room, Google evaluates websites and assigns a page rank which determines the order of Internet search results. I believe this lawsuit seeks to open the doors to the back room and clear the smoke.

From MercuryNews.com:

Google has mysteriously downgraded the search ranking of a Web site geared to help parents care for young children, causing a "cataclysmic fall" in advertising revenue and the number of monthly page views, according to a class-action lawsuit filed Friday.

The civil suit by KinderStart.com of Norwalk seeks financial damages and more information about Google's secret method for ranking sites. The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in San Jose, seeks class-action status for other sites that have seen their rankings drop without warning or explanation from the Mountain View search giant.

A Google spokesman told the Associated Press that the company hadn't seen the suit and had no immediate comment.

Since it launched in May 2000, KinderStart.com had built up its traffic to more than 10 million page views a month, the suit says, with much of the traffic coming from Google search users. But in March 2005, page views plunged 70 percent and advertising revenue fell 80 percent and hasn't recovered. KinderStart.com suspects that Google erected invisible barriers that divert consumers elsewhere when they type in a search but says Google will not explain what happened.

The drop-off was so sudden that the Web site suspects Google has a flawed method or blocks sites subjectively despite Google's pledge to provide objective search results.

It will be interesting to see how this case develops. I'd suspect that Google will act to prevent class-action status.

Cock Praises Allah (Audio)

A rooster in the former Soviet republic of Kyrgistan has begun crying out the name of Allah. No doubt a St. Patty's day miracle on par with the latest sighting of the Holy Mother in a tortilla and the oil stain on my driveway in the shape of St. Christopher. This avian miracle is proof that there is no God but Allah, and Muhammed is his Prophet.

Listen to the miracle cock crowing for Allah here.

Chad Evans has the backstory.

PS-I'm in department meetings all day. What a great way to kick off Spring Break....meetings.

No Honor for Hanoi Jane

Hanoi Jane(Atlanta, Georgia) The Georgia State Senate took up the issue of honoring Jane Fonda.

From WSBTV.com:

A resolution honoring Fonda's volunteer work cruised through yesterday. But many senators failed to realize it was part of a stack of non-controversial efforts all approved with a single vote.

The chairman of the chamber's veterans affairs committee objected, setting up a reconsideration of the honor for the Atlanta resident this morning.

Senator Steen Miles of Decatur says the resolution was one of several Women's History Month measures she has introduced to honor Georgia women. The resolution cites Fonda's work as founder of the Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention, donations to Atlanta-area universities and charities and role as goodwill ambassador with the United Nations.

V for Vendetta Reviewed

Imperial Minister of Pop-Culture, Flea, gets a sneak preview of V for Vendetta after performing certain umentionable acts upon a high-ranking British official to get the ticket. The gist is that Flea may have overlooked the pro-terror plotline if his London neighborhood hadn't been bombed by the ROP, a phone-booth outside a bar he frequents hadn't been bombed by the IRA, and if Natalie Portman would have revealed a little more skin. A million sins forgiven for nude Natalie Portman is our motto du jour.

Inside the Mind of an Evil Blogger--"Blog", the movie

I'd say Joseph Duncan qualifies as 'evil' under even the most narrow of definitions. In addition to being a convicted child molester who advocated for the rights of sex-offenders, Joseph Duncan was a blogger who recorded his fight with what he believed were demonic powers online. Duncan would eventually become a mass-murderer.

I-Film has a short preview of an upcoming independent film which uses Duncan's blog entries as its basis. The unfortunate title of the movie is Blog. The clip is demented, choppy, twisted, and left me slightly nauseated. I'd say the director pretty much nailed Duncan's character with it.

I wonder what the socially useful value of the movie is? After learning what Joseph Duncan did to Shasta Groene and others, there is only one conclusion to draw about him: he is evil.

Evil does not need to be understood, only disposed of. Call me up when the sequel comes out: Blog II: Joseph Duncan Execution Video. I'd pay to see that.

So, the first movie about bloggers turns out to be about this piece of human filth? Maybe someone should crank out a treatment for Army of Davids as a reply.....

Schoolgirls Forced to Go Braless

(Singapore) When I was going to high school, there weren't any titillating controversies of this nature.

Malaysia Star:

Students of a secondary school in Singapore, who were recently found to be wearing coloured bras to school, were forced to go braless, reported China Press.

According to the daily, the school only allowed students to wear white, beige and light grey bras.

The daily said most of the affected students were caught wearing coloured bras during a Physical Education class

They were forced to remove the bras in the bathroom, which were then confiscated.

It appears that all the Singaporean schools have confronted the colored bra issue, but other schools handle the "problem" differently. Examples are: one school sells new bras and one school sends the girls home to get a new bra.

I'm at a loss to understand why colored bras are prohibited, however, school officials must feel strongly about the issue. Nonetheless, I do believe that a classroom full of braless high school girls would probably be a greater distraction than a room full of girls wearing colored bras. And, naturally, the whole subject makes one wonder if there are restrictions on other undergarments.

How To Defeat Global Warming And Islamofascism At The Same Time

This comment on this post has all the answers:

It would have been wonderful if the car had stopped and they had dragged the poor misguided youth and beaten the crap out of the SUV with his head till it was crushed. But hey, my son was only there 15 minutes before, so perhaps I'm a tad biased against the mooslem that hates my son.

Biased? Not at all, Mr. Walsh. You have unwittingly swerved into a solution to a couple of our most vexing problems!

Instead of remanding terrorist captives to some remote CIA-run Caribbean resort, take them to the nearest automobile dealership, grab them by the ankles, and use their heads to smash every pollution spewing, death dealing SUV in sight.

Brilliant!

Enzyte Bob(Kansas City, MO) Cincinnati entrepreneur Steve Warshak, the brains behind the "natural male enhancement" product Enzyte, has agreed to stop making unsupportable health claims and to refund money to thousands of customers who believe they were defrauded.

The primary complaint was that customers only agreed to a "free" 30-day trial of pills but were automatically billed for additional shipments. Customers also had great difficulty canceling shipments and getting refunds.

Warshak's companies include Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals, Lifekey Inc., Boland Naturals Inc., Warner Health Care and Wagner Nutraceuticals.
