Brilliant. When I was working in catering, our competitors within the same convention center landed an account with a Jewish group and for their holiday dinner made some absolutely beautiful and tasty crab meat stuffed pork chops. At the last minute (the fucking redneck idiots), kind us traded them our Cranberry Chicken that was reserved for the staff working our party for their stuffed pork chops. Price-wise, we got 4:1 on that deal.

Eco-friendly kangaroo farts could help global warming: scientists say


SYDNEY (AFP) - Australian scientists are trying to give kangaroo-style stomachs to cattle and sheep in a bid to cut the emission of greenhouse gases blamed for global warming, researchers say.

Thanks to special bacteria in their stomachs, kangaroo flatulence contains no methane and scientists want to transfer that bacteria to cattle and sheep who emit large quantities of the harmful gas.

A retired teacher in Scotland got trapped in the bathroom at a bowling alley for four days. When someone finally found him, he said:

At least there was a toilet to use. The only thing I regret is not getting trapped behind the bar.

Dresden man chugs liter of vodka at airport security check.

...he was told at a security check he would have to either throw out the bottle of vodka or pay a fee to have his carry-on bag checked as cargo.

Here's one that's only odd because the politician is honest, straightforward, and not at all faux-repentant about being handcuffed to a pole in a strip club wearing just his underwear when he did nothing wrong at all, just had a boisterous boys' night out. British public figures always feel they have to make cringing public apologies or explanations for this type of stuff.

Edit: I removed the misleading bit I posted about the other guy's wife...

Japanese Monks Stage Fashion Show

By MARI YAMAGUCHI
The Associated Press
December 15, 2007
Japanese monks and nuns hit the catwalk in Tokyo on Saturday in a bid to spread Buddhism among younger people in this rapidly aging society.
The fashion show opened with a Buddhist prayer set to a hip-hop beat at the centuries-old Tsukiji Honganji temple, where nearly 40 monks and nuns from eight major Buddhist sects showed off elaborate robes in an effort to win back believers.
Five monks from each school walked on the runway, then chanted prayers and wrapped up in a grand finale with confetti resembling lotus petals.
