Yikes! :-o

I especially like the way they mention the necrophilia as a sort of 'by the way' at the end. :-)

On a lighter note, it is good to see that the quiet village of Knutsford has been saved from the predations of a lunatic squirrel...

Sorry, must've missed it. You can never have too many public safety announcements though, can you.

Mullets have lost some of their allure for me since the Hoxton twats started sporting them without irony. Mullets are good because they are so bad. The minute some London trendy sports one is time to fins a new post-modern joke.
I found www.blackpeopleloveus.com to be rather amusing.

I received this in a newsletter from http://www.twistedhumor.com/newsletters.shtml

But there are even more ridiculous law suits out there. For example there's a current law suit in the works by a Minnesota man named Henry Harleny. Mr. Harleny is suing a famous drill company for physical damages caused to him by their tools.

Mr. Harleny claims that he wanted to eliminate an itch in his nose, so he placed a power drill up his nose and turned the drill on with the drill bit still attached. He successfully got rid of the "itch", but in the process he "drilled" off his nose. Here's a picture of Mr. Harleny taken at the hospital:
http://www.wayweird.com/archives/2002/jul/bloodynose.shtml

Here is a statement by Mr. Harleny:

"No where on the package, or the actual tool was there a warning that specifically tells the consumer not to place the drill up their nose, or any orifice for that matter. These companies need to take responsibility for their products".

Mr. Harleny is suing for $25 million.

Does anyone know what the rumours were about that Beckham has denied?

edit: and again!!
