    Syllable.

    And it's a British car, so pronounced with British ... err ... pronunciation.

    Let this be demonstrated, while showing off the gorgeous new F-type.

    The reports also allege a drug ring may have provided narcotics to state department contractors in Iraq.

    But it is suggested officials may have tried to cover up the misconduct...

    ...The document cites allegations that the envoy "routinely ditched his protective security detail in order to solicit sexual favors from both prostitutes and minor children"...

    ...It was also alleged that a state department security official in Beirut "engaged in sexual assaults" against foreign nationals hired as embassy guards. The same person was accused of similar attacks during previous foreign postings, according to CNN...

    SAN DIEGO (AP) — A San Diego-area teacher says she is losing her job for being the victim of domestic violence.

    The attorney for Holy Trinity School teacher Carie Charlesworth told The Associated Press on Thursday that she had received a letter notifying her that her 14-year contract would not be renewed because her ex-husband's violent history posed a risk to the school...

    West Midlands Police said they were contacted by the caller who said he "wished to report her for breaching the Sale of Goods Act".

    The force said the call was received at about 19:30 BST on Tuesday complaining that the woman was not as attractive as she had claimed.

    Officers have now sent the man a letter warning him about wasting police time.

    West Midlands Police said the man had claimed he met the woman in a hotel car park.

    "The caller claimed that the woman had made out she was better looking than she actually was and he wished to report her for breaching the Sale of Goods Act," a spokesperson for the force said.


    Sale of Goods Act. Genius!

    Yeah, that story hit cable news today, wiggin. Definitely a big WTF.



    According to the Dean of Summer School for our county, enrollment is way down. Not that students don't need summer school classes to meet mandatory credits and/or Core Class requirements (including some 500 students who annually "flunk" PE )....but because they can't afford the tuition in a struggling economy.

    Each Academic class costs $150. Health, PE, and Computer Apps classes cost $95.

    To stage last year’s Democratic National Convention, the local host committee raised millions of dollars, much of it for computers, phones and other communication devices.

    Now it appears a sizable amount of that equipment was lost, stolen – or perhaps kept by the staffers it had been assigned to.

    The Democratic National Convention Committee said it recently sent the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department a spreadsheet detailing $496,000 worth of missing equipment. CMPD created an incident report in May...

    It's not really a WTF, but it's fascinating to watch "guest" numbers escalate at certain times.

    Just watched WWZ, which İ liked. Thing is that in the Turkish subtitles they consequently translated 'İsrael' as 'Middle-East'
    Congratulations America

    Temps in the US southwest reaching 110-115 degrees (F). Temps in parked cars recording 120, and airport tarmacs reaching 140! That's some crazy hot heat.

    Temps in AZ, NM, and TX were similar last time I was there last year. It was absolutely brutal.

    Someone drove into the river behind work a few hours ago. News is claiming a suicide attempt, but I don't see how they thought it was going to be successful based on the timing and location.

    this explains so much...

    British public wrong about nearly everything, survey shows
    Research shows public opinion often deviates from facts on key social issues including crime, benefit fraud and immigration

    That doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

    When the red tops and the Daily Fail, which are read by a significant majority, scream headlines such as

    "ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IMPREGNATE OUR TEENAGERS WHILE FRAUDULENTLY CLAIMING BENEFITS"

    on a daily basis, it's no suprise that public perception is horribly skewed.

    I knew ther correct answers on each of those, though its amusing to hear them report on "Teenage Pregnancies" with the "true figures for under 16s" ... Teenage doesn't end at 16

    Probably the best headline I've seen from a real news source this month
    "One day, we shall die. All the other days, we shall live."

    Forced feedings of Gitmo prisoners on hunger strikes will temporarily halt, in observance of Ramadan and religious fasting. WTF?

  27. #2697
    Good. It's be total abuse to force feed during Ramadan. Frankly they shouldn't be force feeding anyway.

    "a man is born full of harmonies" is my favourite quote this month

    Full quote:

    As human beings themselves, Apple employees know that a man is born full of harmonies and attacked to by women engaging in sexual acts with the intent to cause vicarious arousal.

    Of course, the man is probably going through some sort of mental breakdown

    Neo-nazi and black metal star Varg Vikernes arrested in France


    Black metal musician and neo-nazi sympathizer Kristian “Varg” Vikernes has been arrested and taken to custody in the Correze region of France this Tuesday, according to French radio RTL.
    ...

    Vikernes, the man behind black metal project Burzum, had spent 21 years in prison – the maximum sentence in Norway – for the murder of Øystein Aarseth, known as Euronymous, the guitar player of black metal band Mayhem. Vikernes had also been convicted of arson attacks on four churches, he was freed in May 2009. He then moved to France with his wife and three children.
    (Left that last bit there in case someone has never heard of Vikernes before. Not entirely accurate, by the way - he didn't serve full sentence, he was released on probation after 15 years.)

    The reason why this made me go WTF is the official reason for the arrest:
    Breivik sending a copy of a manifesto setting out his ideology to Vikernes, an official at the prosecutor’s office said. “That was at the origin of the investigation … There were several suspicions that made the services fear he could possibly carry out a violent act,” the official said.
    Despite his violent past and rather extreme views, Vikernes is a strong opponent of Breivik's ideas, and has repeatedly condemned the 2011 Norway attacks.
