This is HYSTERICAL!! Haha!

The mystery of Ireland's worst driver

Details of how police in the Irish Republic finally caught up with the country's most reckless driver have emerged, the Irish Times reports.

He had been wanted from counties Cork to Cavan after racking up scores of speeding tickets and parking fines.

However, each time the serial offender was stopped he managed to evade justice by giving a different address.

But then his cover was blown.

It was discovered that the man every member of the Irish police's rank and file had been looking for - a Mr Prawo Jazdy - wasn't exactly the sort of prized villain whose apprehension leads to an officer winning an award.

In fact he wasn't even human.

"Prawo Jazdy is actually the Polish for driving licence and not the first and surname on the licence," read a letter from June 2007 from an officer working within the Garda's traffic division.

"Having noticed this, I decided to check and see how many times officers have made this mistake.

"It is quite embarrassing to see that the system has created Prawo Jazdy as a person with over 50 identities."

Twilight Madness

SO, granted I have not READ any of the Twilight books, nor have I seen the movie. SO I don't have the most educated opinion on the subject. I must also point out that people can write whatever kind of books they want but some of the "vampire mythology" that S. Meyer has come up with makes me want to vomit, like not having fangs and SPARKLING in sunlight(DEAR GODS!). Keep in mind I am a wee bit a purist when it comes to my vampire myths. I do think that they can come out in sunlight, think Bram Stoker's Dracula, but SPARKLE??? PLEASE!! Anyways, like I said before, no offence to S. Meyer, I congratulate her on having such wild success and wish her all the best.
Anyways, back on topic. I was randomly surfing the Internet this morning(I can't sleep, had surgery yesterday and am in quite a bit of pain and no more hard core painkillers!) and came across some very disturbing news. Apparently the die hard Twilight fans, known affectionately as "Twi-hards" have started ATTACKING people who speak out against the book. Wonder if i should watch my back now huh? I'm nto speaking out against the books or the author, just on the freakin pshycos that are attacking people. Here's a few examples:

I some of these on this list HERE

WISHING A MISCARRIAGE ON SOMEONE(Now THAT'S screwed up!)

FULL ON SLAP IN PUBLIC

A GUY IS ESSENTIALLY MOBBED WHEN HE SAID HE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT BOOKS

POTENTIAL REPLACEMENT ACTOR FOR "EDWARD" VERBALLY ATTACKED ONLINE

SEXUAL HARRASMENT

GETTING KICKED/PUNCHED IN THE JUNK(There's a few of these)"

ONE

TWO

BROKEN LIMBS(again I say, WTF?? And there's a few of these too.)

BROKEN ARM

BROKEN TOES


I could go ON AND ON!! There are PAGES of these attacks! WTF MAN?? IT'S A MOVIE FOR PETE'S SAKE!! People please!! There is enough hate, fear, crime, murder, etc. in the world, we DO NOT need to attack our fellow human beings JUST because of a stupid book! And for any of you "Twi-hards" out there reading this, do you REALLY think you are making the author HAPPY by doing this to people?? From what I have read about her(Please go HERE for that) she seems like a very nice and wholesome woman who loves her family and doesn't want to hurt anybody(and in my humble opinion seems to be one of the "nice" Christians who actually follows that whole "love thy neighbour" thing). I bet you money that she is HORRIFIED by what the CRAZIES are doing to people out there! So PLEASE! BACK OFF!! The majority of us live in countries where we have freedom of speech and the like so PLEASE let others have their opinions and you can have yours! STOP THE MADNESS!! IT'S JUST A BOOK!!! This goes for all the "Anti-Twilight" people too! Let the "Twi-hards" have their opinions and you can have yours!

Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

Okay...so I just found possibly the FUNNIEST and most WONDERFUL web page EVER created in all the Internet! It started initially as a response to the whole right wing fundamentalist squabbling that was going on down in the states. The "fundies" wanted to teach "Intelligent Design"(the Christian God Creation Myth) in science class, it was a HUGE mess in the end, court cases and such. Search for it on Google, you'll see what I mean. Either way I just stumbled across this website and HAD to share it with you all! GO CHECK IT OUT!!!

Keep Loved Ones Forever, as a Diamond

CHUR, Switzerland (Sept. 18) - Diamonds really are forever.

Algordanza, a small company based in the mountainous southeast of Switzerland, uses the ashes of dead people to make diamonds as a permanent memento for their nearest and dearest.

And with prices starting at less than $7,500, the jewels are not solely the preserve of the jetset.

"Some people find it helpful to go to the cemetery and grieve, and they leave their grief in the cemetery," said Algordanza Chairman Veit Brimer. "There are some people who, for whatever reason, do not want to have this farewell.

"Astonishingly these are mainly Christian people. They say: 'Why should I say goodbye? I'll see my husband in 15 years in heaven anyway,"' Brimer said in his office overlooking the town of Chur and its surrounding steep mountains.

The technology for making artificial diamonds was first pioneered by General Electric in the 1950s, and mirrors nature by subjecting carbon to huge pressure and temperature.

Algordanza -- which means "remembrance" in the local language Romansch, spoken in some parts of the Swiss canton of Grisons -- is one of a handful of companies offering artificial diamonds that have sprung up as the technology has improved.

U.S.-based LifeGem and Britain's Phoenix Diamonds, for example, also offer diamonds made from hair, which contains more carbon than ashes meaning a gem can be created from the hair of a living person, or from someone who has been buried rather than cremated. LifeGem even offers diamonds made from dead pets.
