Link of the Day:
*********************
And Picture of the Day (thanks much, Lord Mutter!)
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Hail to the Chief
This whole 'election' thing really just doesn't matter to at least one resident of the USA. That would be Caesar St Augustine de Buonaparte, a guy from Los Angeles, CA, who declared himself the emperor of America back in 1996.
See, back then he sent a letter to Bill Clinton declaring war on the US. Since Clinton never wrote back, Caesar declared victory and became the leader of the US. Word has it that he still fails to understand why the government and media refuse to tell the American public...so he owes ME big time, eh?
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
German Passport Progress
It's now official: Germans are allowed to stick their tongues out in their passport photos.
Alexander Mechthold fought for that right after he was told that his picture with his tongue out was illegal and could not be used on his passport.
Well, the courts found that there is no rule that specifically states that tongues cannot be visible on passport photos, so Al is one happy guy.
He did, however, have to sign a statement that said he wouldn't go to court if border officers had a problem with the shot.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Rain, Rain, Go Away....
Miyi Shongi picked the wrong Zimbabwean trader to rip off. She refused to pay the trader for some clothing she got. So the trader cursed her, and she now is followed by raining-down stones where ever she goes.
She was even kicked out of her village three weeks ago by her family and neighbors because they were so tired of the racket and mess. So she moved far away. And she's still being stoned.
Police spokesperson Ailwei Mushavhanamadi is one of the officials investigating the phenomenon: "We were there for nearly the whole night and saw stones falling from the sky like rain. We went around the area to make sure someone wasn't throwing stones on the roof on purpose, but we didn't find anyone."
Miyi appears to have two options: get a stronger cursemonger to stop the rocks, or just pay for the darned clothes!

Crazy Women Drivers
This is just odd...and what a way to wake up!
A woman driving a Christine-esque (Stephen King) Ford Focus was driving downhill in Excelsior Springs, MO, when she lost control of her car. Said auto went down a ravine, became airborne, flew over a pickup truck and BAM right into a 14 year old's bedroom, landing on top of him.
Somehow, he came out of it okay (else I wouldn't put it in here, as that would be wrong). Dude has some stitches and a couple of burns on his feet. But his dad says "He's doing pretty good and keeping his humor. He's a pretty strong kid."
Definitely. The woman is hospitalized, by the way. Investigators believe she suffered from some medical problem before the accident. Kiddo's been released from the hospital.
