Take a break, for chrissakes!

BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese man dropped dead after playing Internet games for three consecutive days, state media said on Monday as China seeks to wean Internet addicts offline. [...] "Police have ruled out the possibility of suicide," the newspaper said, adding that exhaustion was the most likely cause of death. It did not say what game he was playing. [Full story.]

Sit down and be counted

DutchNews.nl - Men must urinate sitting down
Men moving to the soon-to-be built residential area of Meerstad in Groningen will probably have to urinate sitting down because of plans to seperate urine and faeces at source. Toilets in the new homes will have two depositaries, allowing urine to be collected separately and used as fertiliser on nearby corn and rape seed oil fields.

Suicide bomber action figure



Uncle Abdul and red-nosed Marty on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
This satirical suicide bomber character from the Seamour Sheep comic strip series will soon be available as a designer vinyl figure, produced by Crazy Label.

We hope that the release of the Uncle Abdul figure will help to ironize the act of suicide bombing and acts of violence in general. In our humble opinion no subject should be an absolute taboo that is free from any satire, because satire is not only meant to make people laugh, but sometimes also to wake them up and make them think and discuss.

The photograph shows the first hand-painted Uncle Abdul toy prototype being saluted by the very rare red-nosed edition of his nephew Marty Mole.

Unlike Chinese food, you only come back once

China Regulates Buddhist Reincarnation - Newsweek Beliefs - MSNBC.com
In one of history's more absurd acts of totalitarianism, China has banned Buddhist monks in Tibet from reincarnating without government permission. According to a statement issued by the State Administration for Religious Affairs, the law, which goes into effect next month and strictly stipulates the procedures by which one is to reincarnate, is "an important move to institutionalize management of reincarnation."

Worker screws the pooch

Man charged with having sex with boss's dog

FayObserver.com

CARTHAGE — A Fayetteville man was charged Sunday with having sex with one of his boss’ dogs.

The Moore County Sheriff’s Office charged Samuel James Johnson, 30, of Wilson Avenue, with felony crimes against nature and misdemeanor cruelty to animals. Bail was set at $3,500.


Some people will go to any lengths to suck up to management.

A neighbor told authorities she saw Johnson assaulting one of two adult female pit bulls the morning of Aug. 21 in his front yard, said Animal Control Officer Frank Ringleberg.

Hmm, female pit-bulls. So it's not like the guy was some kind of a deviant or anything.

Risky buzzness

Laguna Woods woman has 50,000 honeybees removed and relocated from her home. 'I miss them already,' she says. [Full story.]


Miz Olson didn't want to kill the poor darlings, so extermination services were out. Instead she found a couple dudes who moved the hive to a farm. That's right, the leetle bees are now frolicking in the flowers somewhere far, far away.

Cows get carded



BBC NEWS | South Asia | Photo ID cards for Indian cattle
Indian border guards are photographing cows in villages in the eastern state of West Bengal and issuing them with identity cards, officials say.


People in border villages say having their cattle photographed is a problem because it requires them to take time off work.


But they have agreed to the identity cards to avoid
harassment by the BSF and police who often raid villages in search of
cattle waiting to be smuggled to Bangladesh slaughterhouses.
