`Three teenagers have been fined 3,000 Danish kroner (400 euros, 530 dollars) by a Greenland court for lassoing a polar bear in a stunt they said they carried out because they were bored, the court said. [..]
The incident took place in August 2004, when the quartet lassoed the bear before calling a hunter to kill it. Only three of the four appealed the lower court’s verdict.
Animal protection laws in Greenland, a semi-autonomous Danish territory in the North Atlantic, prohibit the capture of live animals in the wild.
The hunter was meanwhile fined 5,000 kroner for using an unauthorized rifle to put the animal down.’
It’s just a holding page atm. But it’s a good domain name.
I’m hilarious. 🙂

Hunt told investigators the accusations probably come from a wrestling move called a “butt drag” or “skinning,” which involves the wrestler placing pressure on the area of the rectum.
Hunt’s former assistant coach told investigators, “It’s not something illegal or not taught. It’s being taught all over.”‘

A Google search for that phrase currently gives a link to www.moonbuggy.org/tag/piss/, which makes me laugh. 🙂
It’s down the bottom of the page, but still in the top 10. Heh. The only results above it at the moment are from the SMH, The Herald Sun and The Australian newspapers. 🙂
It’s probably not as funny as I think it is. But fuckyas. 🙂

The third phrase is hilarious. I’ve never used or heard anyone use it, but apparently it’s useful in everyday life so I should start using it. First rate. 🙂

‘A teenager arrested for shoplifting had filled her pockets with so many items that her weighted-down pants dropped to her ankles as she tried to run out of the store, police said.

All sorts of amusing winter mishaps.

This is an audio clip of a guy calling his ISP’s billing deparment. He was quoted a price of 0.02 cents per kilobyte for his data, but the ISP thinks 0.02c is equal to $0.02, and no one he speaks to can see any difference between cents and dollars.

`Gov. Timothy M. Kaine isn’t exactly muttering “I do believe in spooks! I do believe in spooks!” like the Cowardly Lion in “The Wizard of Oz.”
But he’s not ruling out the possibility either.
Asked on his monthly radio show on the Virginia News Network whether he has had paranormal experiences like previous Executive Mansion occupants, Kaine flatly answered: “Yes.”
Kaine said Thursday that at the same “inconvenient time” every week, the telephone rings in his family’s private quarters–and when he picks up the phone, nobody’s there. He said he’s researching whether “something odd happened” on the same day and hour sometime in the mansion’s history.’
This is a copy of some rambling email Lindsay Lohan apparently sent about the place. Sounds a bit like the drug crazed ramblings of an illiterate maniac if you ask me, but what would I know? 🙂
