Nasty Bitch bent over the kitchen sink!
I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.

Big man had already told them to keep away. Ranger angling for tips takes them way too close. Idiot child lucky he or his pax weren't gutted like fish.

there was a hero in america that decided to fell a 125 year old saguaro cactus in the desert with shot gun blasts.
after he had shot away most of the cactus it was seen to be still standing.
unbelievable thought our hero so he walked up and gave it a push to knock it over.
the 500 lb cactus toppled over crushing him to death. he was cactus fuctus.

The man who died after being sucked out of a Somali passenger jet in midair on Monday appears to have been the person who detonated the bomb, reports the Wall Street Journal.

That's good. I hope it was a horrific way to die, and I hope his 7 virgins all make Susan Boyle look like Miss World.

It's raisins, not virgins. Mistranslation in the Koran years ago. Mind you, I'm of an age when I'd prefer the raisins.

Indian officials say a meteorite struck the campus of a private engineering college on Saturday, killing one person. If scientists confirm the explosion was due to a meteorite, it would be the first recorded human fatality due to a falling space rock.

According to local reports, a bus driver was killed on Saturday when a meteorite landed in the area where he was walking, damaging the window panes of nearby buses and buildings. Three other people were injured.

The Krispy Kreme Challenge announced today that a 58-year-old man participating in the event was rushed to hospital after experiencing chest pains within the first 1.5 kilometres of the race. He died shortly after arriving at Rex Hospital in Raleigh, N.C.

Participants begin the race at North Carolina State University and run 4 kilometres to a nearby Krispy Kreme donut shop, consume a dozen donuts, and make the return trip.

Yes, well, that is a perfect example of why the ratio of births for boys and girls is higher for boys.

...And you think none of us would have given it a go had the opportunity been there? I'd have been on it like a rat up a drain pipe.
