I haven't seen the picture, and don't want to, but at least the bestiality was only "simulated" and not real.

The Gov't is claiming that it was an optical illusion.

HungLikeJesus 11-10-2010 06:27 PM

I thought it was an optional illusion.

It must be one of ours otherwise they'd be all flipped out and telling us all to buy duct tape and blue plastic tarps. Oh wait, maybe I've got it backwards. It must not be one of ours, that's why they are acting all casual and such-- don't want to create a panic.

Missile? Hell, damifino. Must be those goddam kids on my lawn.

Another weird news report. Worthy or not?

Abraham Lincoln is undoubtedly one of the most easily recognizable people in U.S. history. His height (6’4”), stovepipe hat, and beard made him stand out in a crowd and in the collective American consciousness.

Credit for part of his signature look goes to Grace Greenwood Bedell Billings. In October 1860, the eleven-year-old Bedell saw a campaign photo of Lincoln and was inspired—150 years ago this month—to write to him and urge him to grow a beard to improve his appearance.

Hon A B Lincoln…

Dear Sir

My father has just home from the fair and brought home your picture and Mr. Hamlin’s. I am a little girl only 11 years old, but want you should be President of the United States very much so I hope you wont think me very bold to write to such a great man as you are. Have you any little girls about as large as I am if so give them my love and tell her to write to me if you cannot answer this letter. I have got 4 brothers and part of them will vote for you any way and if you let your whiskers grow I will try and get the rest of them to vote for you you would look a great deal better for your face is so thin. All the ladies like whiskers and they would tease their husbands to vote for you and then you would be President. My father is going to vote for you and if I was a man I would vote for you to but I will try to get every one to vote for you that I can I think that rail fence around your picture makes it look very pretty I have got a little baby sister she is nine weeks old and is just as cunning as can be. When you direct your letter direct to Grace Bedell Westfield Chautauqua County New York.

I must not write any more answer this letter right off Good bye

Grace Bedell

Interesting time frame for a life. 1848-1936 From the Mexican War almost to WWII...

footfootfoot 11-11-2010 01:47 PM

I wondered if she was bitter about Lincoln not answering either of her later letters

Ky. Man Says He Was Forced To Eat Beard
 
from Lexington Herald-Leader via Kentucky.com

Quote:

LAWRENCEBURG, Ky. -- A Central Kentucky man says he was forced to eat his beard after an argument about a lawn mower got out of control.

Harvey Westmoreland of Lawrenceburg told WLEX-TV that two men cut off his beard, stuffed it into his mouth and forced him to eat it.

Westmoreland says two former friends got angry as they tried to negotiate a price for a lawn mower they wanted to buy from Westmoreland. He says "one thing led to another, and before I knew it, there were knives and guns and everything just went haywire."

The two men pleaded guilty to charges related to the incident and will be sentenced next week.

That must have been hairy.

GunMaster357 11-16-2010 07:04 AM

Is this really serious?

Dictionnary Ban

From my French point of view, it's even worse than stupid.

xoxoxoBruce 11-16-2010 07:07 AM

Serious as a heart attack. Psychiatrists everywhere are thinking, kaching kaching. :(

GunMaster357 11-16-2010 07:25 AM

Well, at the very least, someone is going to make a lot of money with edited version of dictionnaries...

I'll will always be amazed by the relation (pun intended) between American people and the sex world.

This is an proper way for School Boards to respond to the deterioration
of society and to involve parents in the education of their children.

The Committee reviewing the dictionary is going to make a list of questionable words and email it to all parents.
That way the parents can go over the list with their children to see which words are offensive to their family values.

Words that offend will be highlighted with yellow markers, and the students will bring the lists to back to school.
Each teacher will make a new list of the highlighted words from their own class so they will know which words to avoid.
The teachers will post these lists of offensive words on their classroom bulletin boards.

A glass jar with a metal lid will be placed on the teacher's desk.
Each time someone uses one of these offensive words they must put a quarter in the jar.

When enough quarters have been collected, the classroom computers will be connected to the internet
so students can access dictionaries on-line, and the paper dictionaries in the school library will be burned.

These procedures have worked well in the past...

The Reviewing Committee will then turn it's attention to the school's books on Art and Photography.
