My Son Peter

wtf???

My son Peter has always loved to play hide and seek. In fact,
he loves it so much that he will wake me up in the middle of the
night to play. The only problem is that Peter has been dead for
eight years. This website documents the hell I've lived and
continue to live every night.

Angel of mercy gives





You're a homeless man in Nagoya camped out in the park adjacent to Nagoya Castle or one of the several public areas where dozens of vagrants have erected makeshift abodes made of blue plastic tarpaulins.

Having been down on your luck for so long, sex, if on your mind at all, is probably little more than a distant memory. And since it's been days, sometimes even months since your last bath, the prospect of finding female companionship is likely to be all the more remote.

Certainly the last thing you'd ever expect would be to be awakened from a sound sleep by an attractive young female who has slipped into your shelter, opened the fly of your pants, and begun to provide relief in the form of hand jobs, or oral sex.

Yet, increasing numbers of homeless men in Nagoya's parks swear this has happened to them. Did these pleasurable experiences actually occur? Or was it merely something emanating out of the fog of alcohol-induced stupor?

Car Crash Photos and Car Buying Tips


Accidentes automovilísticos:







The car was only three weeks old when it hit the guard rail on the upper section of the Wellington Motorway, New Zealand. As you can see, the rail came through the front of the car, through the fire wall, through the front passenger seat, through the left hand rear passenger seat and stopped short of coming out the back. The guy driving walked away totally unharmed! It's so amazing the guy driving walked away totally unharmed! The guard rail missed him by inches. gives a whole new meaning to "drive through".

Jailed Street Children in Excrement Protest



una moda que espero no pegue en las marchas mexicanas...


NAIROBI (Reuters) - More than 100 jailed Kenyan street children smeared themselves and their Nairobi cells with feces in a protest Wednesday, leading police to call in firefighters to hose them down.



The homeless boys had been jailed at the central police station for several weeks, awaiting transfer to government-sponsored homes.

But their frustration boiled over Wednesday and the 113 in the jail ran riot, attempting to escape and then demanding to be released or charged, police said.

"They smeared themselves with sh-t, smeared everywhere with sh-t and damaged doors trying to escape," said central police station boss Julius Ndegwa.

What is a Retrosexual you ask?????



Con la popularidad que han agarrado, primero los metrosexuales, y ahora los asexuales, me dio sorpresa y risa encontrar esta liga:

My Retrosexuality is defined by the following Retrosexual code:



A Retrosexual, no matter what the women insists, PAYS FOR THE GODDAMN DATE.

A Retrosexual opens doors for a lady. Even for the ones that fit that term only because they are female.

A Retrosexual DEALS with shit. Be it a flat tire, break-in into your home, or a natural disaster, you FUCKING DEAL WITH IT.

A Retrosexual not only eats red meat, he often kills it himself.

A Retrosexual doesn't worry about living to be 90. It's not how long you live, but how well. If you're 90 years old and still smoking cigars and drinking, I salute you.

A Retrosexual does not use more hair or skin products than a woman. Women have several supermarket aisles of stuff. Retrosexuals need an endcap (possibly 2 endcaps if you include shaving goods.)

A Retrosexual does not dress in clothes from Hot Topic when he's 30 years old

A Retrosexual should know how to properly kill stuff (or people) if need be. This falls under the "dealing with shit" portion of The Code.

A Retrosexual watches no TV show with "Queer" in the title.

A Retrosexual does not let neighbors fuck up rooms in his house on national TV


etc, etc, la lista sigue

Fake Gucci Bags Fund Terrorism?



Ahora resulta que la piratería esta organizada por la mafia y los grupos terroristas para tener fondos para sus actividades criminales...


Before you buy that fake Armani T-shirt or knock-off Gucci bag, remember that you could be lining the pockets of mobsters and terrorists.



That was the warning from Interpol during a global conference on counterfeiting Thursday -- a crime which is costing governments and businesses hundreds of billions of dollars a year.

"When you buy for example a counterfeit watch, the money is channeled into the pockets of Mafia groups, terrorist groups," said Jean-Michel Louboutin, executive director of police services at Interpol.

Trying to rally consumer support behind a global campaign against counterfeiting, officials also warned unscrupulous bargain hunters they could even be risking their own lives.


Esta se me hace una de las razones más absurdas para echarle la culpa a los piratas de ropa, películas, discos, de ahora hasta ser terroristas.

Pasando por alto el hecho de que tal vez la razón por la que hay piraterìa es por los inflados precios de esos productos de lujo, que valen hasta mil por ciento de su materia prima y mano de obra...

Woman Arrested After Mistaken 911 Call



ó: Si tienes un laboratorio casero de drogas... no te equivoques al marcar el teléfono...

A woman was arrested on drug charges after accidentally dialing 911 and hanging up, which brought a sheriff's deputy to her home to investigate, authorities say.



Investigators said the wrong number led them Wednesday to one the largest methamphetamine laboratories ever found in Bay County.

Deputies said Vicki Lynn Nunnery, 43, told them she hung up the phone after realizing she had inadvertently dialed 911 when she started to call someone else. She was unaware that it is standard procedure for police to send an officer to investigate all 911 disconnections.

The investigating deputy smelled the distinct odor of meth while talking with Nunnery and Vito James Knowles, 44, who also was arrested, said sheriff's Sgt. Rob Ashman.

Narcotics investigators were contacted and a search warrant obtained, Ashman said. He said the search disclosed that the three-bedroom house in this Panama City suburb was functioning as a giant meth lab.

Fukuhara appointed honorary police chief for a day - Japan's Leading International News Network


No ser por qué but I am a big ping pong news fan!







TOKYO — Olympic table tennis star Ai Fukuhara, 15, was named honorary police chief for a day Wednesday and toured the Shinjuku district speaking with fans.

Ai-chan, decked out in a police uniform, spoke to senior citizens and cautioned them about the danger of "ore-ore" telephone scams which netted 7.7 billion yen from Jan-July for swindlers who call up elderly people, pretending to be relatives in financial trouble.

Afterward, Fukuhara played table tennis with some of her fans and hit autographed table tennis balls into the audience.

Yahoo! News - Scholars Grapple With Godzilla Legacy


Godzilla terroriza a... Kansas?


The University of Kansas plans to pay homage to the giant lizard later this month, organizing a three-day scholarly conference for the 50th anniversary of his first film.

It's not just about celebrating campy creature features. Planners want to provoke discussion of globalization, Japanese pop culture and Japanese-American relations after World War II.

"I would like people to take Godzilla more seriously," said Bill Tsutsui, a history professor at the University of Kansas and author of the book "Godzilla on My Mind," which discusses the history of the monster's movies.

The conference that begins Oct. 28 will offer speeches, panel discussions and free screenings of Godzilla films, including "Gojira," the Japanese movie that started Godzilla's career in November 1954.

Atop the movie theater will be an inflatable 28-foot Godzilla balloon. Items from Tsutsui's collection of Godzilla memorabilia will be on display in the university's main library.

The notion of a serious Godzilla conference drew puzzled looks on campus.

"It's kind of odd," freshman Kathleen Schafer said. "I didn't think scholars would be interested."

But historians, anthropologists and other academics are coming from universities such as Duke, Harvard and Vanderbilt.

Yahoo! News - Doctor Says Woman Has Sleep-Sex Disorder



Sexo + sonambulismo = mala excusa


CANBERRA, Australia - A woman seduced and had sex with strangers while she slept and later had no recollection of her infidelities due to a sleeping disorder, her Sydney doctor said Thursday.



The middle-aged woman had no idea that she was sneaking from her house at night in search of sex with random strangers until her partner awoke, discovered she was missing from the bedroom, and found her having sex with another man, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital sleep medicine physician Peter Buchanan told The Sydney Morning Herald.

Her partner was already aware that she was a sleep walker and also had been confounded by condoms he found strewn around the house, Buchanan said.

Buchanan will discuss the case when he lectures on sleep sex — the disorder has yet to be given a formal title — at the Annual Scientific Meeting of the Australasian Sleep Association in Sydney at the weekend.

"It is very complex, elaborated motor behavior during sleep," Buchanan told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio Thursday.

"People are often stunned and overwhelmed when they're told what they've been doing," he added.

The partners and doctors of people suffering from the disorder often do not believe the acts were committed while they slept, he said.

"It's very stressful both for them, for their partner or for their relationship," Buchanan said. "It also promotes an intense sense of embarrassment on their part, their partner's behalf and this inhibits people coming forward to seek potentially helpful professional intervention."

Yahoo! News - Police: Man Watches Sad Movie, Burns Home



nota triste


CORDELE, Ga. - A sad movie and a night of heavy drinking led a south Georgia man to set his house on fire, the man told police. Charles Alton Adams, 32, walked into the Crisp County Law Enforcement Center shortly after midnight Thursday and told deputies he had burned down his mobile home.



He said that after watching the movie, he drank nine or ten beers and decided to set fire to pillows on his bed. Adams did not tell authorities the name of the movie.

"I have asked that question myself," said Crisp County Sheriff Donnie Haralson. "The whole thing just doesn't really make sense."

Haralson said Adams has been charged with arson. He remained in the county jail Friday morning as family members attempted to raise money for his bond.

Haralson said the doublewide home was gutted by the fire.

Yahoo! News - Police Say Woman Stabbed Husband's Penis



ouch


PHNOM PENH, Cambodia - A Cambodian woman stabbed her husband's penis with a knife during an argument in which she accused him of being a violent drunk, police said Monday.



Tuy Narin, 35, attacked 37-year-old Chhun Saran earlier this month in Kandal province near the capital Phnom Penh, said Mang Penh, a local police officer.

Tuy Narin called her husband a drunkard, prompting him to retaliate by throwing a sandal at her, Mang Penh said. Tuy Narin's mother and two sisters then wrestled the outnumbered husband to the floor and his angry wife stabbed him with a knife, the police officer said.

The victim, who appeared to have been drinking, required seven stitches at a local hospital but the injury was "not life-threatening," he added.

The assault happened on Oct. 9, according to Koh Santepheap (Island of Peace) newspaper.

Chhun Saran withdrew a complaint against his wife after relatives intervened and urged the couple to reconcile, Mang Penh said.

HELEN Zou knows what she wants in a man -- in fact, she's so certain about it that for the next month, she's advertising her requirements on a public billboard.

The softly spoken 40-year-old says she is serious about wanting to find a life partner and has spent $5000 on the advertisement, which has been mounted near the Ritz Theatre in Randwick.

Looking for love ... Helen Zou with her billboard in Randwick, Sydney.
The billboard, which went up last week, is headed "Husband Wanted", and reads in part: "Beautiful intelligent Australian Chinese lady seeks to have dream family with a fabulous partner to enjoy a lifetime with".

Ms Zou says she is looking to settle down with a professional man aged up to 45.

Her other requirements included a good sense of humour, a solid financial background, and someone who possessed a "warm and caring nature".

Paralysed man sends e-mail by thought breaking science news headlines



Rompiendo tambien mi credibilidad de la historia:

An pill-sized brain chip has allowed a quadriplegic man to check e-mail and play computer games using his thoughts. The device can tap into a hundred neurons at a time, and is the most sophisticated such implant tested in humans so far.

Many paralysed people control computers with their eyes or tongue. But muscle function limits these techniques, and they require a lot of training. For over a decade researchers have been trying to find a way to tap directly into thoughts.

In June 2004, surgeons implanted a device containing 100 electrodes into the motor cortex of a 24-year-old quadriplegic. The device, called the BrainGate, was developed by the company Cyberkinetics, based in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Each electrode taps into a neuron in the patient's brain.

The BrainGate allowed the patient to control a computer or television using his mind, even when doing other things at the same time. Researchers report for example that he could control his television while talking and moving his head.

FTheVote.com: Trade Sex for Votes

Sexo por votos??

guest link



At Fuck The Vote we provide a Pledge Sheet that can be used conveniently before becoming physically intimate with a conservative. The Pledge Sheet asks the signee to make a promise to vote for anyone but George Bush in the November election. FTV has not endorsed a single candidate but recommends strategic voting. We also encourage FTV fans to take road trips this summer to swing(er) states to collect pledges. If you collect a pledge let us know about it on the Swinger States page! Have safe fun fucking over Bush while fucking for votes.

file magazine: about file magazine



what file is

The purpose of FILE is to collect and display photographs that treat subjects in unexpected ways. Alternate takes, odd angles, unconventional observations - these are some of the ways photographs collected in FILE reinterpret traditional genres. We leave the Kodak Moments to the family album, the glossy fashion spreads to Vogue, and the photo finishes to ESPN. Rather than taking the well-trod paths, we veer to left and get a different perspective. Confused? Browse The Collection. The photos say it better than we can.

y a Dave Chapman en la carcel.



Mark Chapman, the man who shot dead Beatle John Lennon, is due to go before a parole board this week in the hope of securing his freedom.

Chapman, 49, who shot the singer in the back outside his New York apartment on 8 December, 1980, was originally sentenced to 20 years to life.

It will be the third parole hearing for Chapman, whose previous requests to be set free were rejected.

THE GUNS OF THE MATRIX



Articulo muy detallado del armamento utilizado en Matrix





I'm not going to lecture about the details and philosophy of the Matrix universe. What I'm going to do instead is an attempt to examine the firearms used in the movies and why the characters would use them. So, let us begin at the beginning.

As the movie opens, we see Trinity sitting at a desk in front of a laptop when a bunch of cops bust in. These cops are armed with Glock 17 automatic pistols chambered for the standard 9mm Parabellum cartridge. This is a good choice as these guns are about as generic as you can get. They are also probably one of if not the most common police sidearm. Glock holds 50% of the US Police market while all other makers are fighting for the rest. SIG, S&W, and Beretta are the other biggies in the Law Enforcement market, but Glock is king...
