The Sun Online - Film First: Quentin wants to direct porno

The Sun Online - Film First: Quentin wants to direct porno: "CULT filmmaker QUENTIN TARANTINO has admitted he would love to direct a PORN FILM. And it would feature lots of 'kind of kinky sex' - because that's what turns him on. The Pulp Fiction director is a big fan of 1970's European soft-core sex films and says he can't wait to make a modern day version. He says: 'If I actually do an erotic movie, I'm going to have to reveal what I find sexy, what turns me on."

Thats going to be a little scary, finding out what turns a brilliant but very demented (in a good way?) person on. Thigh high high heal boots and whips of licorice are my bets!

The Sun Online - News: Sister locked up and forgotten

The Sun Online - News: Sister locked up and forgotten: "Sister locked up and forgotten"

A WOMAN was locked up and “lost” for 70 years after being wrongly accused of stealing 13p.

Jean Gambell, 85, was “certified” indefinitely in 1937 over claims she had taken the cash while cleaning at a doctor’s surgery.

The money was found — but Jean still spent 70 years in a maze of care institutions.



To be "LOST" for seventy years... Yes this happened in England, there is something about Europe where old people are lost/forgotten. If you look at past posts there are a few about dead people remaining in there homes/apartments for years with no one the wiser!

Her dad was a drunk
Her mom was an addict
Her parents kept her
Locked in an attic
Her only friend
was a little toy bear
It was old and worn out
And had patches of hair
She always talked to it
When no one's around
She lays there and hugs it
Not a peep of sound
Until her parents
unlock the door
Some more and more pain
She'll have to endore
A bruise on her leg
A scar on her face
Why would she be
In such a horrible place?
But she grabs her bear
And softly crys
She loves her parents
But they want her to die
She sits in the corner
Quiet but thinking,
"Please God, why is
My life always sinking?"
Such a bad life
For a sad little kid
She'd get beaten and beaten
For anything she did
Then one night
Her mom came home high
And the poor child was beaten
As hours went by
Then her mom suddenly
Grabbed for a blade
It was sharp and pointy
One that she made
She thrusted the blade
Right in her chest,
"You deserve to die
You worthless piece of shit!"
The mom walked out
Leaving the girl slowly dying
She grabbed her bear
And again started crying
Police showed up
At the small little house
Then quickly barged in
Everything quiet as a mouse
One officer slowly
Opened a door
To find the little girl
Lying dead on the floor
It must have been bad
To go through so much harm
But at least she died
With her best friend in her arms
A child dies every day from child abuse.

kare11.com :: KARE 11 TV - Unable to move, Minnesota man stranded five nights in the woods: "Unable to move, Minnesota man stranded five nights in the woods"

After falling 20 feet from his bear hunting stand near Remer, the 62-year-old retiree, who lives alone, spent five nights and four days on the ground, immobilized by a broken hip and fractured pelvis.

"I'm not going to be found anytime soon," he thought. No food, no water, and wearing only light clothing, Larry stuffed his jacket and covered his legs with grass and leaves to fight hypothermia as northern Minnesota temperatures dipped below freezing.

Now that's one tough man...

For us in Minnesota, when you walk out of the house and find your car encased in ice it's a royal pain. But this.... it makes me feel good because it's not my car or street! Pic's are from Versoix, Switzerland. Lake effect ice.

US soldier who paid to be shot to avoid Iraq pleads guilty - International Herald Tribune

US soldier who paid to be shot to avoid Iraq pleads guilty - International Herald Tribune: "US soldier who paid to be shot to avoid Iraq pleads guilty"

NEW YORK: A U.S. soldier pleaded guilty Tuesday to filing a false police report after admitting he paid someone to shoot him in the leg to avoid another tour of duty in Iraq.

He should have stuck to his story, now three people are going to jail. I'm not sure how I feel about someone dodging their military duty... I spent three years in the army but was never in a war, but this war should never had happened. Afghanistan I understood but the war in Iraq was nothing more than The Bush & Co. flexing their collective hard on's.

Airline sacrifices goats to appease sky god | Oddly Enough | Reuters

Airline sacrifices goats to appease sky god | Oddly Enough | Reuters: "Airline sacrifices goats to appease sky god"

The goats were sacrificed in front of the troublesome aircraft Sunday at Nepal's only international airport in Kathmandu in accordance with Hindu traditions, an official said.

I hope this does not become a common thing, can you imagine what a plumber would sacrifice to fix a clogged sewer? Or the Mustang Ranch, if the girls had feminine problems?

Feast Like a Cannibal at the Human Banquet | Inventor Spot: "Feast Like a Cannibal at the Human Banquet"

Here's how the Cannibal Banquet works... a pinata-like "body" is carefully crafted, then stuffed with edible goodies in a red sauce. More "sauce" is somehow embedded into the outside covering - "skin" as it were - of the body so that it will appear to bleed when cut into. By this time, most of us would have lost our appetites, but I digress.
