Gillian Gibbons has now been sentenced to fifteen days in prison, but a thousand Sudanese demonstrated today, asking for her to be put to death. I wonder if anyone watched 'Have I Got News For You' tonight when they mentioned the case. Clive Anderson called these people vindictive, raving nutters.. What is your feeling about this comment? Even muslims in this country are appalled at what is happening to this lady. Does anyone think that the British government should take action against Sudan? Are the Sudanese taking this just a step too far?

If you think about it, high gas prices are soon going to lead to the economic collapse of oil and gas companies, Texas, and the middle east as well, because they have forced us to aggressively pursue the alternative fuel technologies that we were happy to ignore when gas was 80 cents a gallon. And it's happening. Within just 10 years, our gas-powered cars will be relics that no one will want to buy.

The entire fuel paradigm is going to change. Yes, we'll still use oil (for heating, etc.)... for NOW at least... but the major consumer -- automobiles -- will be going away. And there will be interest in heating, etc. with the same technology.

So what's going to happen in the Middle East when the source of their wealth and power suddenly goes away?

Makes me wonder whether this is the plan all along. Maybe there's a REASON Bush's oil and gas trader cronies are pulling the prices up so high, to destroy the Middle East money source?

What do you think?

WHAT AM I???

THIS IS A USEFUL TOOL, COMMONLY FOUND IN THE RANGE OF 8 INCHES LONG.

ITS FUNCTIONING IS ENJOYED BY MEMBERS OF BOTH SEXES.

IT IS USUALLY FOUND HUNG, DANGLING LOOSELY, READY FOR INSTANT ACTION.

IT BOASTS OF A CLUMP OF LITTLE HAIRY THINGS AT ONE END AND A SMALL HOLE
AT THE OTHER.

IT IS INSERTED, ALMOST ALWAYS WILLINGLY, SOMETIMES SLOWLY, SOMETIMES
QUICKLY,
INTO A WARM, FLESHY, MOIST OPENING WHERE IT IS THRUST IN AND DRAWN OUT
AGAIN
AND AGAIN MANY TIMES IN SUCCESSION, OFTEN QUICKLY AND
ACCOMPANIED BY SQUIRMING BODILY MOVEMENTS.

ANYONE FOUND LISTENING WILL MOST SURELY RECOGNIZE THE RHYTHMIC, PULSING
SOUND RESULTING FROM THE WELL LUBRICATED MOVEMENTS.

WHEN FINALLY WITHDRAWN, IT LEAVES BEHIND A JUICY, FROTHY, STICKY, WHITE
SUBSTANCE, SOME OF WHICH WILL NEED CLEANING FROM THE OUTER SURFACES OF THE
OPENING AND SOME FROM ITS LONG GLISTENING
SHAFT.

AFTER EVERYTHING IS DONE AND THE FLOWING AND CLEANSING LIQUIDS HAVE CEASED
EMANATING, IT IS RETURNED TO ITS FREELY HANGING STATE OF REST,
READY FOR YET ANOTHER BIT OF ACTION, HOPEFULLY REACHING ITS BRISTLING
CLIMAX
TWICE OR THREE TIMES A DAY, BUT OFTEN MUCH LESS.




WHAT AM I???????

AS YOU MAY HAVE ALREADY GUESSED, THE ANSWER TO THE RIDDLE IS.........

NONE OTHER THAN YOUR VERY OWN..........

EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana has said he is disappointed after talks with Iran on its nuclear programme, as he prepares a report for the UN.
But top Iranian nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili said the discussions were positive and more would be held.

nice to still see Iran fighting for its FREEDOM and RIGHT and will not back down to western extremists who threaten them

A woman (foreigner in Sudan) - with no malice in mind - names a bear Mohammed. Shes gets some jail time and when finished shell be deported. Lots of Sudanese calling for her execution, lashing or worse. Anyone else think this sounds like zealots run amok?

"Thousands of angry Sudanese, some brandishing swords and sticks, marched through the centre of Khartoum on Friday calling for the execution of a British woman teacher jailed for insulting Islam."

WHO ARE THEY TRYING TO FOOL!!!???

I say we send a nuke towards Sudan with a teddy bear drawn in crayon on the side, named Muhammed.

Whether the missile is named Muhammed or the bear is, I leave that to the Sudanese.

1. Thousands in Sudan call for teacher's execution for Teddy bear

2. Papal encyclical says atheism to blame for injustices, cruelty.



Does anyone else see the inconsistency and the irony? It's religious extremism that causes problems in the modern world -- not atheism.

In all my years of following true crime stories, I have never heard of such a strange case.

Have you?

Cops break door, nab alleged pizza thief
EASTPOINTE, Mich. - Police used a battering ram to break down an apartment door and arrest a woman they say grabbed food from a pizza delivery man but failed to pay him.

Jessica Gray, 19, of Eastpointe was arrested Wednesday after she and the occupants of her apartment refused to pay for a delivery of pizza, ribs, chicken, shrimp and a soda valued at $17.18, police say.

According to police, Gray answered the door when a 21-year-old, combo meal-carrying delivery man arrived at her apartment about 7 p.m.

Gray took the meal, then slammed the door and joined four other female occupants inside — ranging in age from 14 to 21 — in yelling insults and threats when he didn't leave, police say.

It's somewhat ironic that when the boot is on the other foot a teacher should be spared the belt for not doing her research or homework into her new adopted country.

It´s a school competition and every class has to design it´s own mascot . The theme is the "responsible use of water and saving water."

Most of the ideas so far have been a tap and a "drop" of water with a smiling face.

I´d love to give my kids some more suggestions and help my class win.

Any ideas?

It could be any kind of symbol that represents saving water.

Thanks.

(I know it´s not current events but there are some very imaginative people on here!!)

It's their country and they can do what they like. That woman went to their country and did what she did.
The Sudanese didnt' come to the UK and demand someone here to be lashed or executed.
You should know by now Muslims are the sensitive type so don't provoke them in their country.

They say they have all kinds of fancy sicientific equipment that gives them Doppler, Barometer, etc information. Yet I watch the 6PM news and there's a slight chance of rain in the morning hours. Then I wake and the 5AM report says is it's going to rain all day. Expect half an inch. Then at 8AM they say expect an inch of rain. The expected rain fall doubled in just 3 hours??? What's up with that??? Are they even trying to get it right any more. 35 years ago the weather reports were more accurrate and I was just a little kid, but I still remember that.
