Whoo Hoo! Someone Else is Oppressed!
Beryl King placed an ad looking for "warehouse packers who must be hard-working and reliable" to work at her business. She has now been slapped on the wrist for the ad and told to rephrase her requirements.
Why? Because using the term 'hard-working' discriminates against the lazy.
Beryl summed it up quite well when she said, ""I couldn't believe my ears. Has our world gone mad? How long before someone says you can't pay people for working because it discriminates against those on benefit who are paid for not working?"

Mmmm. See Thru Bathing Suits at the Olympics
Those silly Brits. The crafty British female triathlon swimmers have bathing suits that become see-through when immersed in water. Officials discovered this during their practice.
Party poopers that they are, they have had special 'modesty patches' put into the suits now, and have put the suits through 'shower tests' to make sure the patches work.
Damn them.

Wow. Not Funny. But Interesting in the Build A Phobia Category.
Carl Declercq of Richmond Hill, NY, met with a terrible fate yesterday in an elevator in Times Square. He was riding down on the elevator, when a malfunction launched the elevator upward and smashed the car into the 37th floor bulkhead, resulting in Carl's ultimate demise.
Something went terribly wrong when the down elevator passed an up elevator. That elevator stopped suddenly, injuring its passengers slightly.
Officials said that it may have been a snapped cable or a failed balancing mechanism. Records show that 5 Times Square received 10 violation citations in May regarding their elevators and escalators. It is not known if Carl's elevator was one of those cited.

London Justice
Michael Clark has been deemed insane, and is not to be punished for driving a tractor over his brother this past April in a quest to prove his love to God.
Michael spent years in an asylum due to severe mental illness, but was deemed to be well in February and was let out. Apparently this was not the correct decision, because upon release Michael realized that he was the second Messiah, chased his brother with a tractor and smushed him to prove it. He was sure that his brother would come back from the dead. Sadly for his brother's wife and 3 kids, Michael was very wrong.
"No matter the outcome of today's judgment in court, nothing will ever replace the void left by the tragic loss of Billy, a loving and most cherished husband and dad," the statement from his family read.
"Hopefully, lessons will be learned to ensure that nothing like this can ever be allowed to occur again."
Although Clark has been responding to medication, Lord Osborne accepted Dr Thomson's opinion that he requires ongoing care and treatment in a high-security psychiatric setting.
Lord Osborne returned Clark to the state hospital, where he will remain indefinitely.
Which based upon London's life sentencing with rapists and permanent institutionalization of the mentally ill, means he'll be out on the street come Christmas.

FOUND: Previously lost 360 ton bridge (lost in Gdansk Poland).
It was found by police at a scrap metal yard cut into metre-long pieces.
Thanks to all who called with tips!

This Game is Da Bomb!
Yuri and Igor, two 14 year old boys from Murmansk, Russia, found a WWII grenade while trekking through the woods the other day.
Knowing full well what it was, but thinking 'hey, what could POSSIBLY go wrong?', the kiddos started playing football with the darned thing. Whether in Russia football is football or football is soccer, I don't know, but it doesn't really matter does it?
Luckily for Yuri and Igor, Pavel Kopytov happened to be strolling by and saw their idiocy in action.
Says Pavel, "My hair stood on end. I yelled at them, but they didn't stop and I had to just grab it off them. I knew how their game of football would end - explosively. They were lucky."
The grenade was turned over to local police and destroyed.
