We have an ongoing issue where religious leaders of one kind or another tell the masses that the Americans have XRAY night-vision goggles, or XRAY sunglasses, that we use to look through the billowing black robes of the Iraqi women. It would be funnier, except that this once instigated a crowd to become so unruly that shots were fired. The ensuing chaos was not funny at all. We always show the Iraqis our night-vision goggles so that they can see what we see, in order to counter this propaganda.Stories from Iraq.
Germans complain of exploding toads.
Apr. 25th, 2005 02:10 pmHundreds of toads have met a bizarre and sinister end in Germany in recent days, it was reported: they exploded.
According to reports from animal welfare workers and veterinarians as many as a thousand of the amphibians have perished after their bodies swelled to bursting point and their entrails were propelled for up to a metre. It is like "a science fiction film", according to Werner Smolnik of a nature protection society in the northern city of Hamburg, where the phenomenon of the exploding toad has been observed.
"You see the animals crawling on the ground, swelling and then exploding."
He said the bodies of the toads expanded to three and a half times their normal size. "I have never seen such a thing," said veterinarian Otto Horst. So bad has the death toll been that the lake in the Altona district of Hamburg has been dubbed "the pond of death."

Apr. 25th, 2005 02:12 pmJapanese invent ghost-detector.
The pocket-sized device promises to alert its owner to the presence of eight different types of spectre, from "lost souls" to "evil spirits".
Using a variety of carefully calibrated sensors - one of which claims to detect human fear - the machine informs users whether the ghost is malevolent or benign. The ghost radar hits Japanese stores next week, just in time for the Japanese ghost-spotting season, and no summer campfire gathering will be complete without it.

Apr. 25th, 2005 03:17 pmRapper's manager held up at gunpoint, told to stay out of Queens. Has this to say:
"N***as ain’t shoot my whip up, they did set me up," he said. "I'm still in the hood and got a scope on all these jealous bitch a** n***s in my 'hood that ain't happy for me. Wanna eat try again - I will feed them."
...
I didn't think it was possible for rappers to get any more pathetic.
Or incomprehensible.

Apr. 25th, 2005 03:44 pmSenior asks exterminator why the price is so much higher than usual.
Exterminator graps her walker and throws it away, shoves the pesticide sprayer down her throat, and triggers it.
A grand jury has indicted him on charges of aggravated assault and carrying a concealed weapon.
The woman says she still suffers numbness in parts of her face and neck.
Probably not the accused

Apr. 25th, 2005 04:33 pmAh, yes, sunny Maine - where the State comes after you for child support for children who aren't yours, because you didn't file a motion with the court abrogating parental responsibility for the kid that IS NOT YOURS.
In other news, Maine next plans to demand child support payments from the King Of Monaco, for not denying that he's little Billy Jourgensen's father.

Apr. 25th, 2005 04:45 pmYet more about the prostitute in the White House, and also Jeff Gannon:
Secret Service records, requested by Reps. John Conyers and Louise Slaughter, show that Guckert, who wrote for two pro-GOP Web sites under the pen name Jeff Gannon, made more than 200 appearances at the White House during his two-year tenure.
This included attending 155 press briefings and at least two presidential press conferences, all on a "day pass." More surprising, according to the documents: Guckert got into the White House three dozen times when there were no scheduled briefings. And on at least 14 occasions, "Secret Service records show either the entry or exit time missing."

Developementally disabled schoolgirl gang raped on stage, videotaped; principal attempts to cover it up and not call the cops.
The girl was led by the arm behind a stage curtain in the auditorium. There, witnesses said her lip was bloodied and she was sexually assaulted by a group of boys, an attack videotaped by one student and watched by more than a dozen others who came running as word spread.
Within minutes, the developmentally disabled girl reported the alleged assault to a special education teacher, who said the girl "looked dazed and confused and was crying."
But principals didn't immediately notify the police for fear of media attention, in violation of state law. When the girl's father arrived, he was asked not to call 911. He ignored the request and called the police.

Other articles suggest that the boys were bragging and showing off the video, and that the principals viewed the tape and decided that dragging her onto the stage, pushing her to her knees, threatening her, punching her in the face, and the girl running to a teacher bleeding and crying led them to conclude that there had been no coercion.
Anyone applying the Carl Lee Haley solution in this case will be roundly cheered, just so you know.
