Is that technically cannibalism?

Rabid beaver bites swimmer

LILLIAN Peterson is recovering in hospital after she was attacked repeatedly by a rabid beaver while she was swimming in a Washington lake.

Peterson was knocked off her feet as she got out of Lake Barcroft on Tuesday evening and turned round to see the two-foot animal biting her leg.

She and a friend repeatedly hit the beaver using canoe paddles, a walking stick and their bare hands but it refused to let go of her leg.

Ms Peterson even tried to gouge the animal in its eyes with her stick in a desperate attempt to fend it off.

She told the newspaper: “It bit me so bad. I started kicking it with my other leg, but I wasn’t sure what I would do.”

She was left with severe bites on her left leg, hands and bite marks all over her arms and legs.

A former colleague who was giving a fishing lesson at the lake came to her rescue, but the animal had to be beaten three times with a canoe paddle before it could finally be captured in a net.

Animal control officers destroyed the beaver after arriving at the scene. Fairfax police said it tested positive for rabies.

Ms Peterson is recovering at Inova Fairfax Hospital and has received injections for rabies.

Relatives in court over three-year-old's 'bomb' shirt
Published: December 20, 2012 - 8:36AM

[size=6]AVIGNON: The mother and uncle of a three-year-old boy named Jihad have appeared in a French court for sending him to school in a top bearing the words "I am a bomb".[/size]

The long-sleeved T-shirt had the words "Jihad, born on September 11" emblazoned on the back when he turned up at his nursery school in the southern town of Sorgues near Avignon on September 25.

His mother and uncle are charged with condoning a crime over the alleged reference to the attacks on New York and Washington in 2001. The uncle bought the top and the mother dressed her son in it when she sent him to school that day.

The judge at the court in Avignon agreed to a request by their lawyer for the trial to be postponed until next year for technical reasons and set March 6 as the date for the next hearing.

The accused made no comment to reporters as they left the courthouse.

Jihad's teacher alerted the authorities after he turned up in the top and a few days later the town mayor, Thierry Lagneau of the conservative UMP party, asked prosecutors to investigate.

"I condemn the attitude of the parents who shamefully took advantage of the person and the age of this child to convey a political message," Mr Lagneau said.

The mother and uncle of the boy, who official records show was born on September 11, 2009, and was given Jihad as his first name, were not known Islamists, prosecutors said.

The mother was astonished at the reaction to her son's top and at the proportions the affair had taken on, they added.

This story is fantastic. Nothing like beating up a man for finishing early :lol:

Couldn't she just let him sleep?

If a guy finishes early and falls asleep there's not much a girl can do.
If a girl finishes early and falls asleep the guy has a wank and blows in her hair.

If shes a squirter she could get her dildo and yeah you can figure out where im going with this

Landlord says no to everything: Amazing list of rules greet prospective tenant From:
News Limited Network January 11, 2013
1:29PM

NO loud music, or parties, or drugs and no stealing.

These are pretty reasonable requests for a landlord in a share flat to make when interviewing prospective tenants.

But no pork?

And no visitors?

And any personal items left in communal areas will be thrown away?

My, that's just plain inhospitable.

Tenants expect rules, but Laura Evelyn didn't expect to be handed a list of increasingly bizarre house rules, before even signing a contract.

The 31 instructions include limiting showering to 15 minutes, having visitors approved two weeks in advance and never using somebody else's shampoo.

Any personal belongings left in communal areas of the flat in Wood Green, north London, would be "thrown out as junk'" the list says, and no food is to be eaten in bedrooms.

. Laura was so amazed by the list, she did the only sensible thing: she posted the entire thing on the internet.

Her tweet has since gone viral.

You can see the demands below.

Police were tonight holding two groups of men at bay after a tense racial stand-off in a suburban street south of Brisbane erupted in violence this afternoon.

Dozens of men believed to be linked to two families, one Pacific Islander and the other indigenous, were involved in an angry confrontation in Douglas Street, Woodridge.
Queensland Police said the disturbance was reported just after 5pm and at 8pm there had been no reports of arrests or injuries at the scene.
A Nine News cameraman captured men ripping palings from a nearby fence to use as weapons against the other group while police stood in the middle.
A spokesperson for Queensland Police said the operation was ongoing at the street with "multiple crews" in attendance.
An all-out brawl appears to have been averted with police quelling the stand-off, Nine News reports.

Student finds 'brain' in KFC meal



Fast food giant KFC has apologised to a UK student after he came across what appeared to be a chicken's brain in his meal.

Ibrahim Langoo, 19, of Essex, was eating at the Colchester restaurant in December when he came across the brain-like organ in his chicken, The Sun reports.

Horrified by the sight and unable to bring himself to pick up the object, he photographed the food and complained to staff at the counter.

"I have a habit of picking the chicken off the bone with my fingers and as I pulled the second piece apart, I saw this horrible wrinkled foreign body," he said.

"I threw it down onto my tray immediately. It looked like a brain. I suddenly felt grim and really sick."

Mr Langoo posted the picture to his Facebook page where it was shared almost 500 times.

"For all those that wanted to show their friends and families, here is the reason to never go to KFC ever again," the caption read.

KFC had the photos analysed and do not believe the object was a brain.

"Although we haven't received the product, it appears from a photograph that unfortunately on this occasion a kidney, and not a brain as claimed, was not removed in the preparation process," a KFC spokesperson told The Sun.

"We're very sorry about Mr Langoo's experience and while there was no health risk, we agree it was unsightly."

The apology fell a little short with Mr Langoo who said he will not be eating at the restaurant anytime soon.

"KFC say they are sorry and are concerned to hear of my experience as they have 'rigorous standards' but I'm still not impressed," he said.

"I never want to eat KFC again - in Colchester or anywhere else. I'll eat chicken at home, where I can see how it's been prepared."

Puppy thrown at German biker gang

A German student "mooned" a group of Hell's Angels and hurled a puppy at them before escaping on a stolen bulldozer, police have said.

The man drove up to a Hell's Angels clubhouse near Munich, wearing only a pair of shorts and carrying a puppy.

He dropped his shorts and threw the dog, escaping on a bulldozer from a nearby building site.

He was arrested later at home by police. The 26-year-old is said to have stopped taking depression medication.

After making his getaway on the bulldozer, he had driven so slowly that a 5km tailback built up behind him on the motorway.

After driving about 1km, he had abandoned the bulldozer in the middle of the motorway, near Allershausen. He continued his journey by hitchhiking.

"What motivated him to throw a puppy at the Hell's Angels is currently unclear," a police spokesman said.

The puppy is now being cared for in an animal shelter.

Love how the spokesman tries to make it sound better by saying its a kidney.

Kentucky Fried Brain. My fav.

Youve gotta be fucking kidding me. One of the best teachers I ever had put red pen through everything no matter how good the work was. There was, like in life, always room to improve it. Didnt put me back at all and if anything made me work harder so that by the end of the year the red pen was much much less.

yeah would have been better in the political correctness gone too far thread but couldnt find it. Utterly ridiculous.

Then you wonder why society is fucked because no one can take any criticism because theyve been so sheltered as a child from anything that may hurt their feelings. Think when I have kids im moving to some remote forest so they dont have to be exposed to this PC shit.
