Basque group ETA bombs Spanish power plant - but calls in advance to make sure that all the people are given time to escape.

Also,
Rocket launchers are "not a weapon" in Tasmania.

Also:
"A German man has been arrested after a marriage guidance counsellor advised him to run around naked shouting at trees.
Dieter Braun, 43, from Recklinghausen said the stress release technique had worked perfectly until he was arrested."

Also:

Crashbonsai.com: galleries of bonsai with model cards wrapped around them.

Also:
Police turn off streetlight because the deluded morons showing up to watch the shadows were blocking traffic.

On the topic of religious idiots,
Snake dies of priestbite.

and two women suing a Mormon splinter cult because they gave their life's savings and never got their promised face-to-face real-world meeting with Jesus Christ are being granted a new trial.

ETA calling ahead isn't really new... they almost always call ahead.

I realise. It's just an unusual touch for bombs in general.

Re the last one:

Harmston's attorney, Kevin Bond, had argued that the promises were rooted in church doctrine, not a business contract that never was drafted. He said the promises were to be fulfilled by God, not Harmston.

I so want them to name God as a co-defendant.

WTF is a weapon in Tasmania?

Awfully polite of them.

Not really. The IRA does the same. It's only polite, after all, to warn people if you're going to blow their buildings up. Plus, nobody will believe you actually did it without evidence that you knew beforehand.

I know the IRA did it, too.

That doesn't make it any more *normal* in the last, say, 5 years.

It's a great aid to those portraying themselves as noble, forced to work for justice outside the system - they harm only the tools of their oppressors, not the the innocents who are pawns.

It's bullshit, of course, but it's *resonant* bullshit.
