Tits for peace

Breasts not bombs: "On Saturday, July 23, an impromptu crew of exhibitionists and flashers decided it was a good day to expose their private parts to everyone in Berkeley. In order to avoid possible arrest, they cleverly disguised their public sexual escapade as a political protest. They dubbed the protest "Breasts Not Bombs."

Somehow it feel like Bush and his cohorts is starting the old fashioned ways of protesting... (via dibbuk.se)

It's war

FireworksWAR.com: "Each year, months before the battle, the participants design and construct weaponry and armor to improve the quality and quantity of 'ammunition' they can fire at the opposing team.

Shit.

Childs play

Roundabout solves water problem: "Cavorting on a roundabout has always been fun for children. Now pure, clean borehole water can be pumped into water storage tanks while the playground roundabout equipment is in use.

Ouch...

dailyrecord: "A MAN who shoved a fire extinguisher hose up a pal's bottom and set it off was yesterday told to pay his victim £4500 compensation.[...]He then felt an object being placed in his back passage and he became aware of a loud hissing sound and the fire extinguisher being discharged. 'He was in immediate pain but didn't realise the extent of his pain until he got up to go to work and realised he was bleeding from his rectum.'"

I say - kids, never drink and prank. Not with the fire extinguisher. Nor with your pal's rectum.
