More odd news...

Man Attacks Stain in Trousers...Destroys Apartment
Mon October 13, 2003 10:36 AM ET
MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian man may wish he had stuck with having dirty trousers after an imaginative attempt to purge a stubborn paint stain on them destroyed his apartment.
The unnamed Muscovite added a liter of petrol to his washing machine to help dissolve the stain, Itar-Tass news agency reported Monday, but the ensuing explosion wrecked his kitchen and demolished two internal walls.

Moscow police confirmed there had been an explosion in a south-eastern Moscow apartment, but would not comment on the cause.

Police Nab Vicious Crow by Getting It Drunk
Tue October 14, 2003 10:50 AM ET
BERLIN (Reuters) - German police apprehended a vicious crow which was attacking passers-by by getting it drunk on bait laced with alcohol, authorities said Monday.
The bird eluded its captors after attacking a woman and a young girl at the weekend until cat food soaked in high-alcohol fruit schnapps proved too tempting to resist.

"The crow was completely smashed," said a spokesman for police in the western city of Dortmund.

Police said the crow was sleeping off its hangover in a local animal home.

And a wonderful news item:

J.K. Rowling allowed German magazines that are sold by homeless on the street to publish the first chapter of HP#5 ahead of the German release date. That's wonderful. I'm glad she hasn't forgotten about the homeless. I hope sales are going good for them for this issue. They get to keep a large portion of the price paid for themselves. That's good. *nods*

Okay I'm done with my news spam now... I was really just looking for that news item about Roy that I missed when I had the volumn off on the tube. When I looked the report already was over >_<.

I know about the butter shoes! It's so odd! about the sleeping bag from your survey: that's wonderful! *hugs* what a beautiful memory. about people not marrying to protest.... I couldn't disagree more. so if you're a liberal and believe in gays' righ to marry you should refrain from marrying yourself even though you really want to? that's like.. "I won't vote to protest against China not being a democracy." >_< I'm going home from work now, Love you!

I can't imagine who put the shoes there o.o. I mean, if it was some artist you'd think he or she would put it somewhere where it's more likely to be seen O.o;.

And yes, I like this memory too. Helping people feels so good.

About the protest. I don't think this is quite the same. I just don't feel it's right to use priviledges that I have just because I just happen to belong to the priviledged group right now. Especially when I don't really feel like I belong to this group in the first place. It's like being white and only whites are allowed to ride the bus and then refuse to take it.
