Infidelicious Muslim babe alienates correligionists by gettin' freaky with it.

In between shots of her boobies are (supposedly) shots of female Muslim women dissidents, so it's got, like, political value or something.

Thanks to Dale.

More... Muslim clerics' hysterics, set to rave music.

Personally, I don't get this one, but so many people have sent to me that hey, it must be funny.

Thanks, this time around, to Brett.

Her defense of her friendship with Venezuelan thug Hugo Chavez? Well, maybe he tortures his own people, but so does the US.

We do?

Incidentally, it's time to address the 600 pound elephant in the room everyone's been avoiding. This is a spectacularly homely woman.

He wants to be called a traitor. I don't know if I would, but if it's what he wants...

Clooney, who has weathered attacks since opposing the 2003 Iraq invasion, said at one point that it was "frustrating" to be listed as a "traitor" on a set of playing cards, but he also accepted people's right to free speech.

He later admitted he relished the attacks.

"I think it's important to be on the right side of history," Clooney said.

"I want to be on that deck of cards. And I want to be able to say that they boycotted my films... I want to be able to say I was on the cover of a magazine called a 'traitor,"' he said.

"I'm proud of those because those were badges of honour for me because that was when you did it when it was hard to do," the actor and director said.

I'm just curious-- has anyone ever noticed that George Clooney is a not-very-talented television actor? What the hell is he doing in movies? How did this happen? Was there a vote? Why wasn't I invited?

Supposedly.

It's not the cool costume he got during Secret Wars; it's just his regular costume, except all black (whith white details). And, hell, it could just be a dark picture for effect.

Thanks to a commenter whose tip I can't find.

The toxin was hidden in... roll of quarters?

Two female students from Moore-Hill dormitory were still being treated late Friday for Ricin exposure after coming into contact with the toxin Thursday afternoon, law enforcement and UT officials said.

...

According to authorities, no other students are exhibiting symptoms of exposure to Ricin, a protein-inhibitor that can lead to death or serious injury, which has been used as a biological warfare agent. Authorities would not release the names of the girls involved.

...

The toxin was first discovered around 2:30 p.m. Thursday when one of the students who received treatment discovered a white powder after opening a roll of quarters from a non-local bank to do laundry on the first floor, Spalding said. The quarters had been in her dorm room on the second floor for several months, Spalding said. The powder fell out on the student's hands, which she washed immediately before reporting the incident to the UT Police Department, Spalding said.

This is now obligatory:

"There is no threat coming from this," said Theresa Spalding, associate director of Student Health Services. "The authorities do not believe there is any type of terroristic plot against the University of Texas."

Perhaps they just mean this was a random poisoning, and that no one intended to terrorize UT specifically. I'm not sure if there's an innocent way that ricin finds itself into a roll of quarters.

Thanks to Generation Why?, with lots of pictures of the evacuation/Hazmat squads in action.

They're hunting Bigfoot in Malaysia, and Indians are afraid of triple-headed broads. Sheesh.

Residents of a Mumbai neighborhood have been staying indoors after dark because of fear of a three-headed woman bringing death.

While many people dismiss the stories as rumors and superstition, the belief is strong enough to empty the streets at night in Kopar Khairane, the Mumbai Daily News and Analysis reports.

According to the believers, the woman has three heads, goes after babies and small children and is an excellent mimic. Looking into her eyes is said to bring death.

Many worried residents have chalked the name of Lord Ram or Rama on their doors. Hindus believe that he is an incarnation of Vishnu the Preserver.

Karl Kochack is on the case, but his editor thinks it's just a big waste of his travel expense account.

Thanks to SWOOD/scott.

Apparently these are real names.

Publicity stunt or just geekish irony? You be the judge:

Philip K Dick is missing.

Not the American science fiction writer whose novels spawned hit films such as Blade Runner and Total Recall -- he died more than 20 years ago -- but a state-of-the-art robot named after the author.

...

Top-of-the-line voice software loaded with data from Dick's vast body of writing allows the robot to carry on natural-sounding conversations, although it does come off as a bit doddering at times.

Biometric-identification software and advanced machine vision allows the robot to recognise people -- even in a crowd -- read their expressions and body language and talk to them sounding a lot like a normal, albeit slightly senile, author who likes to quote his own books when he gets confused.

...

The quirky android, was lost in early January while en route to California by commercial airliner.

...

"We're very worried because it's been a few weeks now," said Prilliman. "We're pressing hard to find Phil."

I'd check Rutger Hauer's pad first. Probably hangin' out there, talkin' about the old days, attack ships burning off the arm of Orion, c-beams glittering by the Tannenbaum Gate, that kind of thing. Good times, good times.

Thanks to George, who's done a man's job.

You know that story you didn't read earlier? Well, it's whole bunches different now.

I guess you can read this one, as it's not nearly as macabre as it began. Now it's just merely weird. more...

Censorship? Maybe. But then Germany has a lot of censorship laws, particularly regarding anti-semitic content.

The film, portraying the hated Americans and Jews in a bad light, is setting box-office records in Turkey.

I wonder how big the box office would be for an anti-Muslim film here.

I have a feeling there's an audience for it.

Thanks for RLW.
