Link of the day: For those out searching for love in all the wrong places, here's 'online dating with a difference'!

Death of a Language
In China there is a language - Nushu - which is 400 years old and used exclusively by women. Their secret language, as it were. Well, the secret is getting a bit deeper...Yang Huanyi just died, and Yang was the last woman on earth who ONLY spoke Nushu. Because she was illiterate in any other language, her death signified the End of Nushu. Manuscripts of the language don't generally exist because they traditionally were burnt or buried with the dead.
No more Nushu. So sad. :-(
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
They Said It Couldn't Be Done
HA! This guy from Branson, MO, has had his name legally changed. It used to be Andrew Wilson. It now is They. No surname. Just - They.
They said that he thought it would be funny: "'They do this,' or 'They're to blame for that.' Who is this 'they' everyone talks about? 'They' accomplish such great things. Somebody had to take responsibility,"
Grammar freaks might have issues with it. By virtue of the new name, They is making sentences sound funny.
They is a freakin' genius.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Poultry For Planes Deal Fails Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra needs to take a hint. First he tried to negotiate a chickens-for-arms deal with Russia. It failed.
Now he's trying to do a chickens-for-jet fighters deal with Sweden. Sadly for him, Sweden doesn't want his chicken either.
Thaksin has lots n lots of raw chickens, and doesn't 'get' the resistance Sweden is showing: "We would prefer to have a counter trade, instead of paying cash up front," Thaksin said. Thaksin also states that Thailand has a 'huge inventory' of raw chicken meat all over the country in warehouses, and the government is simply doing "whatever to help chicken farmers sell their chicken meat".

Prostitute soccer girls banned
The Red Light district of Guatemala has put together a soccer team, the Stars of the Line, made up of prostitutes who work there. They practice, they do their drills, and they enter tournament competition. And now they have been kicked out - not because of their lack of soccer skills, but rather because of the other skills they exercise.
The SoL were ejected from their most recent tournament, with the reason given: the use of foul language from the team's fans. At issue was the use of a cheer: "One, two, three, whore!"
Officials weren't amused, and as one of the SoLs said "they tossed us out like cockroaches."

Marry Her: Or Else!
A 22 year old guy in Monterrey, Mexico, was dating a hot 16 year old. Then she somehow got pregnant, so they broke up. Well, that didn't set too well with the dumpee. So she, her mom, her sister, and her aunt waited for him outside of work Tuesday and kidnapped him!
Word has it that the angry women took the cocky young man to their house and told him that he could not leave until he married the jailbait. They were detained by police when they attempted to get collect his birth certificate and money for a civil marriage, but charges were dropped the next day when the prosecutors couldn't find proof that they kidnapped bucky.
Note: no statutory rape charges have been filed against the stud.

Some Very Painful News
It pains me to report that Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey are, well, on the rocks. Word on the street is that Nick doesn't believe he gets enough respect from Jessica's family regarding his career (does he have a career? What's he do?). He also is rumored to have said that her parents aren't even nice to him.
Nick's rep denies it all. Let us just hope that in these troubled times this ONE star that is their marriage will continue to shine, reminding us that there is good in this world.
