I checked the url and this is what greeted me:

Quality reporting all around.


EDIT: Sadly, online the pics correspond. NOW. But a user commented that he laughed about their mistake and that they should have asked the readers before printing.

Devon man charged with robbery from woman's vagina

Proteus Jones
Feb 28, 2013




Was he robbing things that were stashed in the vagina or, was she his partner and would smuggle him in her vagina after which he would jump out and shout "This is a robbery!"

I don't want to click the link, since I imagine reality can't measure up to either of these.

e: couldn't resist, and it was the first one! (I think, they don't make it clear whether she actually had money up there, or if he only *thought* there was money up there)

quote:

charged under section 1(1) of the Criminal Attempts Act for the offence of attempting to rob a woman of money of a value unknown from her vagina on June 17 in Torquay.

That's written like there's specific wording that addresses this very act.

And the fact that there's no sexual assault charge suggests that she was fine with him getting all up in her business until she realized he was trying to steal her stash.

Perhaps she was a biggin and was just happy that someone was paying attention to her, even if it was in the process of robbing her?

I thought of this thread the other day while I was listening to Sklarbro County. It's a podcast hosted by the Sklar brothers and their friend Dan Van Kirk. It's shorter than their regular podcast, Sklarbro Country, and it doesn't have the sports theme that Country has. It's mostly just the three guys (and usually a guest) talking about crazy news stories, many involving people from Florida.

One of the recent episodes had a brawl at a wedding reception that started after a woman told another woman that her 14-year-old son shouldn't be drinking beer. The second woman then punched the first one in the face. The husband of the second lady had something like 3 knives on him when the cops searched him, because you don't want to be unarmed when you're going to a wedding reception. Another story from a few weeks back was about a "pedal bar" getting shot up... by kids with squirt-guns (a pedal bar is pretty much what it sounds like - a mini bar with bicycle pedals that the patrons ride around the city while they get drunk). They also talked about the Chinese funeral strippers a few weeks back, and how there's now a guy in England who's hiring out fake mourners for funerals, to make the deceased seem more popular.

http://www.earwolf.com/show/sklarbro-country/ (that's the main page for both shows, but the County episodes should be easy enough to find).

In a science/astronomy video I saw a while ago it was mentioned that the earth and moon could be argued to be orbiting each other, so technically not incorrect I guess?

Bodies are usually only said to orbit eachother if the barycenter is above the surface of the larger body. The Moon does cause Earth to wobble a bit (which we mainly notice as ocean tides) but the barycenter is still within Earth's radius.

Pluto and Charon orbit each other though, and in fact the Sun and Jupiter does too.

Yeah, we're pretty terrible about alcohol in this state. The biggest city is Brew City (Milwaukee), and even the smallest unincorporated farm towns have at least one bar (and most have at least one church). I remember tasting my dad's beer when I was a little kid (it was awful, probably because I was a child, but more likely because it was Schlitz), but it was basically only enough for me to make a disgusted face and spit it out.

Actually it was in a relatively upper middle class neighborhood in NY. Which is why I was so surprised.

I remember learning in my last year of grade school that planets actively tilt back and forth on an axis throughout the year rather than just having a static tilt all the time (meaning a planet like Venus completely flips over on every revolution). The teacher even visually demonstrated this with a globe that she spun and tilted while walking around the room. Then in first year middle school science we had an astronomy unit test where that information came up, and a bunch of students got it wrong and we all had to protest because our own school system had taught us the wrong information a year before.

'Seagulls mug dole spongers' = seagulls steal food from people we assume are on benefits, and if they are it's purely because they are work-shy layabouts
'Britain's 3 weeks on the lash' = A hilarious play on words! Being on the lash means going out and getting shitface drunk, but lashing also means raining a lot, which is what is happening here at the moment. How unusual!
'Home of the page 3 girl' = Page 3 traditionally has a large picture of a woman with her norks out, because y'know why not

British slang is so ugly
