In the United States it’s usually considered an extra-curricular activity

This unfortunate headline from the Gloucestershire Echo in the United Kingdom raised a few eyebrows. The headline on the Echo’s website has now been changed to read, “Girls’ schools still offering ‘something special’ says headteacher.”

Headteacher? Isn’t that taking the concept of sex education just a little too far?

Headline of the Day
“Giant gas bubbles in Indiana dairy farm’s waste pond frighten neighbors”

“If that thing back there blows, God help us all for miles,” said Allen Hutchison, whose corn and soybean farm is next door. He and other neighbors worry that puncturing the bubbles could cause an explosion of manure and toxic gases.

The Year’s Best Headline (so far)

We know it’s just the second week of February, but it’s going to be tough to beat this one from Seattle Weekly.

The greatest headline in history: “One gay man, two lesbians, a three-legged cat and a poisoned curry plot”

This sounds like one of those “The Pope, a rabbi and an imam were stranded in a boat” jokes, but it’s not. Naturally, it comes from England.

Tripod, a 3-legged cat that has absolutely nothing to do with this story.
Tripod, a 3-legged cat that has absolutely nothing to do with this story.

This sounds like one of those “The Pope, a rabbi and an imam were stranded in a boat” jokes, but it’s not. Naturally, it comes from England.

Let’s just let the Daily Mail UK explain it:

A gay man tried to poison his lesbian neighbours by putting slug pellets into their curry after he was accused of kidnapping their three-legged cat.

Gary Stewart, 37, had been at loggerheads with Marie Walton and Beverley Sales for months.

But things looked brighter when he made a peace offering of some curry, claiming he had ordered too much from the Indian takeaway.

When the women started to eat, they found the curry studded with slug pellets.

They called the police and Stewart was arrested.

He appeared before magistrates in Manchester where he admitted attempting to poison the two women on September 22.

He denied a further charge of making threats to kill.

Last night it emerged that Miss Walton, a full-time mother, and Miss Sales, a goods vehicle driver, had been the victims of an apparent hate campaign by Stewart at their home in Denton, Manchester.

Stewart is even alleged to have kidnapped the family’s three-legged cat, Amber, and dumped her in a village miles away.

There’s nothing we can add to this story. Absolutely nothing.

Obama’s depressing day at the DrudgeReport

We love the DrudgeReport. It provides a window on the world that’s just not available anywhere else. If President Obama happened to look at Drudge on Sunday, his view through that window was very hazy. We doubt that he enjoyed it very much. Because it looks like a lot of people are catching on to the scam that is Obam.
