They Really Should Have Known Better
This is what happens when you tell soccer fans to riot. I’m not sure what they expected would happen, but they got what they deserved. And is it really a good idea to offer free beer to people insane enough to attend a soccer match? Just curious.
It Might Not Be Your Fault That Women Don’t Like You
This wins the award for funniest thing I’ve read today. Blood type B unlucky for would-be Korean lovers If nothing else it’s nice to know that the rest of the world is more than happy to embrace concepts as stupid as the Atkins Diet.
No Marley No Film

Just When I Think I’ve Seen It All…

Why Stealing Is Wrong, And Why Tobacco Might Not Be
A 26-year-old man’s first mistake was allegedly stealing a tractor-trailer rig that had been left unattended with the engine running, police say. His second blunder was mistaking the truck driver’s tobacco-spit cup for something refreshing, and taking a swig. The tale of alleged instant justice had its roots earlier Monday, the report said, when the …
