`Notice to Customers:
Discontinuation of Anal Sex Toys
9/27/2005
Effective immediately, we will cease lending anal sex toys to customers. This includes butt plugs, anal beads, anal probes, and dual-penetration dildos. If you currently have one of these types of rental toys, you may keep it without charge as a courtesy accommodation.
We have taken this step due to concerns raised by health officials about the possible spread of fecal-borne disease. Please note, we are confident that our patent-pending cleaning process is sufficient to sterilize toys, even after extensive inter-anal use, and no infections have been reported by our customers. However, we have decided to err on the side of caution by eliminating anal toys from our rental inventory.’
`Darain Housen has not taken off his hat for the last 20 years. He bathes, he sleeps and does everything possible in it. It is a perfect fit.
But unlike other hats, his is not made of cloth but from the very hair on his head which is why it cannot be removed.
Housen has been sporting his ‘natural hat’ hairstyle for the last 20 years. The 40-year-old barber who lives in Somerset, St. Thomas said he came up with the idea after some of his friends decided to wear hats to a party but he could not find one to wear.
“Mi an dem fi go a di party but di three of them had caps an’ mi had none so mi get two mirror one behind mi and di other in front of mi an’ mi trim mi hair like a cap an’ go a di dance,” said Housen.
Housen said his hairstyle created such a stir that he got a crate of beer to share between he and his friends.
“Dem did love it,” he said smiling. “Mi friends an’ some of the girls said I win di hairstyle contest and buy mi a box a Guinness,” he said.
Housen said the morning after the dance he clipped the rough edges and then for six months he kept growing the ‘peak’ but since then he has not made major changes to his ‘hat’.’

`Men’s Skirts. This is an era of gender equality. In some households, it’s the women who wear the pants. Why, then, aren’t more men showing off their legs in skirts? [..]
They’re breezy, they’re sexy and they’re easy to wear. So why, asks an exhibition in New York, don’t men wear skirts? Imagine the next man you see wearing a skirt. Not a kilt, sarong or kaften but a pencil skirt to just above the knee. Everything else he is wearing will be from his regular wardrobe, maybe a sweatshirt and some bashed-up trainers, or a shirt, tie and brogues. It doesn’t work, does it?’
The guy in the photos seems to think it works. [shrug] I dunno.
`You’d expect an announcement that will change the face of the internet to be a grand affair.
But unless you knew where he was sitting, all you got was David Hendon’s slightly apprehensive voice through a plastic earpiece. The words were measured and unexciting, but their implications will be felt for generations.
Mr Hendon, the director of business relations at Britain’s Department of Trade and Industry, was in Geneva representing the British Government and European Union at the third and final preparatory meeting for next month’s world summit on the information society. He had just announced a coup over the running of the internet.
Representatives from Britain and the US sat near each other but looked straight ahead as Mr Hendon said the EU had decided to end the US government’s unilateral control of the internet and put in place a new body.’
`A Pashtun tribesman who fell in love with and “married” a 16-year-old boy faces summary execution in Pakistan after his “unholy union” provoked outrage among Islamic leaders.
The “marriage” between Liaquat Ali, 42, and teenager Markeen Afridi was conducted with all the ceremony of a conventional tribal wedding, including a troupe of singers and a feast.
But guests who arrived at Nangrosa village in the Kyber Agency, 50 miles north of Peshawar, said yesterday that they were scandalised to discover that the “bride” was a boy.’
`Ancient Greek and Roman historians recorded that during the siege of Syracuse in 212 BC, Archimedes (a notably smart person) constructed a burning glass to set the Roman warships, anchored within bow and arrow range, afire. The story has been much debated and oft dismissed as myth.
TV’s MythBusters were not able to replicate the feat and “busted” the myth.
Intrigued by the idea and an intuitive belief that it could work, MIT’s 2.009ers decided to apply the early product development ‘sketch or soft modeling’ process to the problem.
Jumping ahead, you can see that 2.009 came to a different conclusion… but let’s start at the beginning of the process.’

`Having already failed once to nail Brittany Chan through her mother, Candy, the Big Music cartel is now going after Britanny again, this time by herself.
She was 13 when this all started, but she’s now 14 and in their latest move, the Big Four are using Matthew E. Krichbaum of Ann Arbour to demand that the US District Court of the Eastern District of Michigan appoint a Guardian ad Litem, in other words, an official legal guardian —- which she’ll definitely need with the venal and unscrupulous labels trying to get her [..]
“Notwithstanding that her own testimony implicated her daughter, Candy Chan refused to take responsibility for her daughter and forced Plaintiffs to file this action directly against Brittany Chan even after they informed her that she had left them with no alternative.”’
`A computer consultant has been convicted of gaining unauthorised access to a Web site collecting donations for victims of last year’s tsunami, even though the judge hearing the case accepted that he meant to cause no harm. [..]
Earlier this year it was reported that Cuthbert had donated money to the Tsunami appeal using the text-only Lynx browser, which can appear to behave differently to other browsers from the server’s point of view.
But in court on Wednesday, Cuthbert said he had made a £30 donation to the site, after clicking on a banner advert. When he received no final thank-you or confirmation page he suspected he might have fallen victim to a phishing scam, so he carried out two tests to check the security of the site.
Cuthbert’s defence team had argued that he had merely ‘knocked on the door’ of the site, pointing out that he had the skills to break into it if he wanted.’
`Welcome to EUROBAD ’74, an exhibition of Europe’s worst interiors of 1974.’
In 1974 it was cool to have a stable in your kitchen. Obviously you couldn’t put a horse in your bathroom though, because it might fall down the stairs and damage the carpet.
Some guy lost a competition with his friend and had to carry a boombox around playing the shittiest mix tape they could come up with at full volume.

`Pop babe Britney Spears and her dancer husband Kevin Federline are reportedly apprehensive about a sex tape of theirs that is going to be made public.
According to the Sun, a member of the singer’s entourage is believed to have copied one of the couple’s personal video tapes, allegedly recorded while Britney was still expecting baby son Sean Preston, and is threatening to release it. [..]
During her pregnancy, Britney confessed her sex life was at its best.
“I think it’s the best. Sex is crazy good,” she confessed.’

`Scientists have made from scratch the Spanish flu virus that killed as many as 50 million people in 1918, the first time an infectious agent behind a historic pandemic has ever been reconstructed.
Why did they do it? Researchers say it may help them better understand — and develop defenses against — the threat of a future worldwide epidemic from bird flu.’

‘A British cleric turned top-selling author of supernatural children’s novels was thrown out of a school where he was delivering a talk after he told pupils that Harry Potter was “gay.”
Reverend Graham Taylor, who penned the novel “Shadowmancer” which, like the tales of the famous boy wizard created by J.K. Rowling, centers on witchcraft and battling evil, got his marching orders after teachers accused him of homophobia.
“As for Harry Potter, well, he’s not the only gay in the village,” the former Anglican priest told children at Penair School in Truro, southwest England, referring to a catchphrase from the popular British comedy TV show “Little Britain.”
He also described the villains in Rowling’s blockbuster series as “wimps” and called TV “crap” compared to books.’

`US President George W. Bush allegedly said God told him to invade Iraq and Afghanistan, a new BBC documentary will reveal, according to details released yesterday.
Bush made the claim when he met Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas and then foreign minister Nabil Shaath in June 2003, the ministers told the documentary series to be broadcast in Britain later this month. [..]
Shaath, now the Palestinian information minister, said: “President Bush said to all of us: ‘I’m driven with a mission from God. ‘God would tell me, ‘George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan’.’ “And I did, and then God would tell me, ‘George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq…’ And I did.
“‘And now, again, I feel God’s words coming to me, ‘Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East.’ And by God I’m gonna do it’,” said Shaath.’
Lots of nested quotes. You’ll figure it out tho, I’m sure. :)

`More than five tonnes of cannabis has been seized at a port on England’s east coast and arrests made across London.

It was discovered hidden inside cargo of furniture and artefacts imported from Mexico on Thursday morning.’
`The state of California is suing nine top food manufacturers, including Burger King, Heinz and McDonald’s, over their reluctance to issue warnings that some of their snacks could contain the potentially cancer-causing chemical acrylamide.
Acrylamide was found to be linked to cancer in 2002. Then, the Swedish Food Administration reported high levels of it in carbohydrate-rich foods, such as french fries and potato chips, cooked at high temperatures. Studies indicated the chemical caused cancer in rats.’

`Copies of a movie aimed at a Mormon audience have been pulled from store shelves after a recording mix-up left buyers watching “Adored: Diary of a Porn Star” instead of the squeaky clean “Sons of Provo.”
Two Utah families caught the problem after purchasing DVDs at Deseret Book stores, which are owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. [..]
The PG-rated “Sons of Provo” chronicles the life of an LDS boy band, Everclean, on its relative journey to stardom.
“Adored: Diary of a Porn Star” is an unrated independent film that is not pornographic, said Corey Eubanks, spokesman for Wolfe Video, the largest distributor of films featuring gay and lesbian characters and stories. However, the film does contain sexual situations and its subject is the life of a gay porn star.
“It’s a very heartwarming film about a porn star that reconnects with his family,” Eubanks said. “It’s not a porn film at all. It’s just about someone who is a porn actor.”‘
