Oh good for her. What an amazing woman.
When a Saudi religious policeman sauntered about an amusement park in the eastern Saudi Arabian city of Al-Mubarraz looking for unmarried couples illegally socializing, he probably wasn’t expecting much opposition.
[…] he approached a young, 20-something couple meandering through the park together…
A member of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, the Saudi religious police […] asked the couple to confirm their identities and relationship to one another, as it is a crime in Saudi Arabia for unmarried men and women to mix.
For unknown reasons, the young man collapsed upon being questioned by the cop.
[…] the woman […] laid into the religious policeman, punching him repeatedly, and leaving him to be taken to the hospital with bruises across his body and face.
“To see resistance from a woman means a lot,” Wajiha Al-Huwaidar, a Saudi women’s rights activist, told The Media Line news agency. “People are fed up with these religious police, and now they have to pay the price for the humiliation they put people through for years and years. This is just the beginning and there will be more resistance.”

I’m stretching to find something that is any stupider, but falling short.

My standard response is usually “Don’t you worry about me… I’ve never felt better.”
People who know me well say “That’s bullshit”. I say forget about them.
Don’t worry about me… I’ve never felt better.
…. Now, I’m not fond of North Korea = The DPRK – because they do horrible things to their people, not least of which is starve them but they also endanger them with every idiotic move that the insane little dictator Kim Jong Il does. He’s screweyer than a rat with advanced syphilis – he’s more along the lines of crazy and screwey as the man that gave the rat syphilis.
He likes to pretend at how powerful they are but really they’re a bunch of dangerous children. Unstable dangerous children.
I was making korean food recently and thought… what would a North Korean Cookbook look like?
click it and it gets bigger.
Lemur King's Folly 
I like the menu, and by “like” I mean it’s pretty apt for that hell hole.
The colors are too pretty, though.
The korean was a supposed translation of:
50 ways to wok your dog – if you can find one.
I forget the other one. Something about selecting the fattest grubs or something like that.
It’s great, LK! You done good!
So, women are fighting back in Saudi Arabia, eh?
Heh, heh, heh….
As for the blender phone, WTF? Did Carrot Top come up with that??
Carrot-top… now *there* is a seriously strange individual.
Last I saw of him he was stacking ‘roids and looked pretty freakin’ deformed.
What, no yak shit pie?
I’ve tried to restrict it to things that they actually have been eating, and bark/grass are in that category. Leather products have always been good faux-food materials.
But beyond that, I’m out of ideas. Yak-shit seems kind of fringe, if you know what I mean.
