Woman, 61, gives birth to her own grandson

Is this good or bad? I can't decide.

[COLOR="Red"]LOUISVILLE, KY. — A Fairdale man faces charges after Louisville Metro Corrections officers said they discovered suspected crack cocaine in the foreskin of his penis.

According to the arrest report, officers asked Antoine Banks if he had any drugs, weapons or contraband on him as he entered Metro Corrections after his arrest. He told them he didn’t, police said.

During a clothed pat-down, officers said they found a small bag of suspected cocaine tied to the waistband of Banks’ boxers.

After that bag was found, a strip search was ordered, according to the arrest report. During the strip search, another small bag was in the foreskin of his penis, police said.

Police said Banks was originally arrested after a traffic stop led to the discovery of a bag of salvia and liquid codeine. Banks arrested on charges of second-degree possession of a controlled substance first offense and possession of synthetic cannabinoid agonists or piperazines.

Banks is now facing additional charges of trafficking a controlled substance and promoting contraband.[/COLOR]

In a bit of unexpected news, writer/director/producer Larry Wachowski is now living as a female under the name Lana Wachowski. Maybe this isn’t really news seeing how lots of the photos are like form 09’ but I’m just read about it now.

So yeah....one on the dudes who created The Matrix films is now a chick. I file that under didn't see that one coming.

Ozzy Osbourne Suffers "Sudden Illness," Cancels Concert - E! Online

I'm not really surprised. This man has abused drugs to point where he's not 100% functional. I've read some of the comments for the article. I agreed with one that he is a "walking vegetable", don't get me wrong... I like his music and everything. I will not be surprised if this illness gets worse and then yeah... :frown: Well hopefully he'll recover. I hope he does recover.

I've just spent a couple of days working at a school in Derby. To my surprise, on entering the staff room, there was a rainbow beflagged leaflet on the table outlining the city's policy statement on lgbt equality. This is the first time I have ever seen any such statement so prominently displayed in any school.

Coming home tonight from a meeting I heard the news that two men, Razwan Javed and Kabir Ahmed, will be appearing in court tomorrow charged with stirring up hatred on the grounds of sexual orientation. This will be the first time the new laws have been tested and the charges relate to a leaflet, The Death Penalty?, which was distributed outside the Jamia Mosque in Derby in July last year.

Whilst the alleged activities of these two men are utterly abhorrent, hats off to Derby for tackling the issue.

BBC News - Pair charged with stirring up homophobic hatred

I really want to turn my head away from all those countries that claim homosexuallity illegal because it just hurts too much to hear about all the atrocities that go on there. But I hope I never do.

I thought we had a thread about this case, but I can't find it, so forgive me for starting it up again.

In 2008 Martyn Hall and his civil partner Steven Preddy were denied a double room at a privately owned guest house in Cornwall. Judge Andrew Rutherford ruled that the owners were breaking the law by doing so.

I realise that for many on here, state "interference" in the beliefs of individuals is going to cause a problem. However, I thought the judge's summing up made some interesting points:

Quote:"We live today in a parliamentary democracy. Our laws are made by the Queen in Parliament. It is inevitable that such laws will from time to time cut across deeply held beliefs of individuals and sections of society for they reflect the social attitudes and morals prevailing at the time that they are made.

"In the last 50 years there have been many such instances - the abolition of capital punishment; the abolition of corporal punishment in schools; the decriminalisation of homosexuality and of suicide; and on a more mundane level the ban on hunting and on smoking in public places.

"All of these - and they are only examples - have offended sections of the population and in some cases cut across traditional religious beliefs. These laws have come into being because of changes in social attitudes.

"The standards and principles governing our behaviour which were unquestioningly accepted in one generation may not be so accepted in the next. I am quite satisfied as to the genuineness of the defendants' beliefs and it is, I have no doubt, one which others also hold.

"It is a very clear example of how social attitudes have changed over the years for it is not so very long ago that these beliefs of the defendants would have been those accepted as normal by society at large. Now it is the other way around."

Going to try out something different, with a different story line. Will post when a part or chapter is complete lol.

Anyone liked the movie The Secret of NIMH? If I'm not mistaken, it's actually based on a book. I never read the book. I watched the movie. It was released in theatre in the 1980's and it's regarded as a classic by animation enthusiasts.



It's pretty much about this field mouse who has to find help for her sick son. I thought it was a pretty good movie and you can actually watch it. See the link below.

Then there's The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue. This was a direct to video release, one of the reasons why many people think it sucks. To be brutally honest, I actually prefer this one over the first one. It's not as dark as the first one and nowhere near as epic as the first one, but I just find it to be better. You can also watch this one for free.

This kinda came as a shock to me.
