German puts out cigarette with fire extinguisher Well, at least he didn't invade France...
BERLIN (Reuters) - A virulent anti-smoker in Germany was so angry when his girlfriend lit up he emptied a fire extinguisher to put out the cigarette, caking her and their apartment in powder. Smooth move there...
"My colleagues said it looked like a bomb had gone off in there," said a spokesman for police in the western city of Bielefeld. "He managed to put the cigarette out though." Wow, what a victory...
After the woman ignored his request not to smoke, the 42-year-old sprayed the contents of the extinguisher all around the flat shouting abuse, police said. Like I said, he could have jumped into his Tiger tank and invaded France...
"He said he wasn't bothered by the damage it caused," the spokesman said. "And that he's through with his girlfriend." How moderate

This spring, the stoner screwball movie of 2004, "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle," will get a sequel. This time, because of some unfortunate confusion on an airplane between a "bong" and a "bomb," our slacker antiheroes are shipped off to the moviemakers' idea of the worst prison imaginable.
On April 25, on a screen near you: "Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantánamo Bay."
Seriously, dude. Wow. Bummer, man. Hope they, y'know, hid the stash before the Man found it.
Dude, where's the snack cakes?

Oh for....
The original movie was worth a rental laugh, but I doubt I will see the sequel. If they had stuck to "Harold and Kumar go to Amsterdam" like they planned, it would have been worth another rental.

Hated the movie on many levels. How 'bout:
"Harold and Kumar Go to Red Mosque"
"hey, lets go get some kabala"
"don't you mean kabobs?"
"No, I meant exactly what I said"
-Hey, you two don't look pakistani! Are those drugs?! Come with me-
A raging snow storm that blanketed most of Greece over the weekend also continued into the early morning hours on Monday, plunging the country into sub-zero temperatures. Public transport buses were at a standstill on Monday in the wider Athens area, while ships remained in ports, public services remained closed, and schools and courthouses in the more severely-stricken prefectures were also closed. Scores of villages, mainly on the island of Crete, and in the prefectures of Evia, Argolida, Arcadia, Lakonia, Viotia, and the Cyclades islands were snowed in.
Was England ever on the verge of becoming an Islamic state? In 1215 King John was forced to accept the Magna Carta, that touchstone of English liberties. But according to one medieval chronicler, only two years previously he was toying with passing the country over to Sharia.
The claims appear in the Chronica Majora written some years after the event by a Benedictine monk by the name of Matthew Paris.
In 1207 Pope Innocent III placed England under an interdict that effectively closed down the country's churches. He excommunicated John two years later. Facing war with France and rebellion at home, the monarch was in a tight spot.
If Matthew Paris is to be believed, this was the background to perhaps the most bizarre diplomatic initiative in English history. John dispatched Thomas of Erdington, Radulus, son of Nicholas Esquire, and a cleric, Robert of London, on a top secret mission to Morocco...

...and John "Lackland" is traditionally regarded in a negative light, the usurper of Richard Lionheart and employer of the Sheriff of Nottingham. Funny.

"...the caliph sent John's emissaries away, curtly assuring them that he had no intention of allying with someone so lacking in faith that he was intent on becoming an apostate for the sake of political expediency."
I take it then that if Obama wins, his ambassador to Saudi Arabia will be sent home.

Richard had rallied the entire nation to the Crusader cause. Say what you like about his not being around in his own country but evidence shows Richard was popular and thus the Crusades were also popular.
There is no way John could look at that and think shifting over to the enemy would end up with any result other than his death in an unpleasant manner. This is total nonsense.

A more likely explanation is Mathew Paris was doing so psy-ops on behalf of the Vatican. A threat so to speak that even if John and his followers didn't fear the afterlife the Vatican could work to have them torn apart by mobs.
By using Islam they also prevented the rioters from turning on the jews (which they did all too often back then) and thus preserved the peace while making their threat.
This is in line with the EU-proposed rewriting of schoolbooks to imply Europe has a "cultural debt" toward the arabo-muslim world, and owes everything to it, or the "Europe's roots as are muslim as they are Christian" of yacoub ibn shirak.
ATHENS - A Greek navy frigate towed a Russian military ship to safety after the vessel sent out a distress signal in the Aegean sea on Monday, Greeces Merchant Marine Ministry said.
The towing process has started with the Greek navy frigate, and the ship will be towed to the port of Agios Kirikos on the island of Ikaria, a ministry official told Reuters on condition of anonymity. He said the ships 88 crew were in a good condition and two Super Puma helicopters and a C-130 transport plane were in the area monitoring the situation.
The Russian navy repair ship had sent out a mayday signal after engines failed in strong winds off the eastern Aegean island of Ikaria in international waters. The ship has lost all of its power, a Russian navy spokesman said by telephone. There are no weapons on board. The condition of the crew is satisfactory, the spokesman said. The engine trouble was caused by strong storm conditions in the Aegean, he said.
"Uh...had a slight weapons malfunction. But, uh, everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?"

The repair ship needs a repair ship? - YOU JUST KNOW THATS A TASERIN'.
TEHRAN, Feb 17, 2008 (AFP) An Iranian ayatollah died suddenly of a heart attack during an impassioned speech lashing out at insults against the family of revolutionary founder Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in the run-up to elections, the press reported on Sunday.
Ayatollah Mohammad Reza Tavassoli, a former head of Khomeini's office, died while delivering the speech to Iran's main arbitration body, the Expediency Council, of which he was a member, the Kargozaran daily reported.
He had been responding to unprecedented ultra-conservative attacks against Hassan Khomeini, Ayatollah Khomeini's respected grandson, who had criticised mass disqualifications in the March election and military interference.
"He was attacking those people with fossilized minds who attack the family and the ideas of the Imam Khomeini when he had a cardiac arrest," Mohammad Hashemi, brother of council head Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, told the paper.
He also quoted a letter from Khomeini from the early days of the revolution denouncing "reactionaries who attack the family and friends of the Imam Khomeini under the pretext of defending him."
"Defending the Imam until the very last moment," lauded the headline of Kargozaran next to a picture of Tavassoli, 77.

Oh.... this is the same guy reported struck dead yesterday. I was hoping for a trend.
Unfortunately, as Ptah pointed out yesterday, this seemed like a reformer ayatollah, so being smitten by allen will be a positive indicator for the Mighty Mad Mullahs.

Two-Minute Warning by George Carlin:
"Now, you might be wondering why I would even suggest that someone can affect the manner and style of his death. Well, it's because of a mysterious and little-known stage of dying, the two-minute warning. Most people are not aware of it, but it does exist. Just as in football, two minutes before you die you receive an audible warning: "Two minutes! Get your shit together!" And the reason most people don't know about it is because the only ones who hear it are dead two minutes later. They never get a chance to tell us.
But such a warning does exist, and I suggest that when it comes, you use your two minutes to entertain and go out big. If nothing else, deliver a two-minute speech. Pick a subject you feel passionate about, and just start talking. Begin low-key, but, with mounting passion, build to a rousing climax. Finally, in the last few seconds, scream at those around you, "If these words are not the truth, may God strike me dead!" He will. Then simply slump forward and fall to the floor. Believe me, from that moment on, people will pay more attention to you."
(AKI) - A man known as Sharif has reportedly stoned his fourteen-year-old daughter to death in southeastern Iran because for allegedly having a relationship with a man.
Sharif's wife reported him to police after he and a friend killed the girl in Zahedan, capital of Baluchistan province. Sharif showed no sign of remorse, telling police who interrogated him: "I suspected that my daughter had a relationship with a man and I had to stone her to death as she had besmirched my honour." "I had no other choice," he said, telling police how he had carried out the stoning.

The wife is lucky she wasn't stoned too for reporting her daughter.
I wonder how much "proof" the father had that his daughter was involved with a man.

Did you notice he didn't go after the man? Because it was dangerous?

Yeah, I'll bet this guy's got so much "honor" you can just see it dripping off him.
I'll bet if one of the cops smacked him in the face, he'd piss his pants.
(AKI) - Iranian Shia religious authorities have issued a fatwa, or religious edict allowing crocodile meat to be eaten by humans. The meat of amphibian animals is deemed 'haram' or forbidden under Islam, while fish and seafood may be consumed.
Oh geez, crocs are reptiles, you idiots! Don't you even recognize your cousins?
I'm real fond of chicken. Its taste reminds me of crocodile.
Iranian regions have for some time been breeding crocodiles for their valuable skins, which are exported to Europe to make shoes, bags and belts etc. The fatwa came after a request by Iranian crocodile breeders who did not know what to do with the crocodile meat. The Short-Muzzle crocodile, known by local people as the Gando, or Persian Crocodile, grows up to five metres in length and is indigenous to Iran. In some US states such as Florida, crocodile steak is considered a delicacy.
