Good Grief!

    • It started with an explosion that destroyed the Nirvana shop in Dublin’s Capel Street on Feb. 12. Five days later a Molotov cocktail was thrown into the Happy Hippy store in North Frederick Street. Since then seven retail outlets with similar exotic names have been attacked with incendiary devices in different parts of Ireland, the latest being the Magic Bus Stop in Dundalk on April 15. They are all so-called “head shops,” which specialize in the sale of legal drugs and associated paraphernalia. There are 70 such stores in the Republic of Ireland, and clearly some organization or group of citizens wants to put them out of business.
    • One of the officials said she received a phone call from a confidential informant who asked her if it was illegal to have sex with an animal. When told yes, the informant said he had a video on his cell phone of Kerner having sex with a horse, court documents state. Because of Kerner’s alleged sexual activities with other men and animals, the informant, who had dated the woman, and his Jack Russell terrier both contracted sexually transmitted diseases, court documents state.
    • Mushroom grow-ops are easier to hide than marijuana grow-ops, Heslop said. “They are smaller. They are easily concealable and don’t need the hydro or lighting situations (marijuana) grow-ops do,” he said. “It can be done in a closet or a corner really out of the way of everybody.”
    • Like mother like son, Tupac (above, with Afeni) smoked marijuana. “I’d ratha be ya N-I-G-G-A,” he sang, “so we can get drunk and smoke weed all day.”
    • We conclude (i) that the acute effects of smoking cannabis impair performance for a period of about 4 hours; (ii) long-term heavy use of cannabis can impair cognitive ability, but it is not clear that heavy cannabis users represent a meaningful job safety risk unless using before work or on the job; (iii) urine tests have poor validity and low sensitivity to detect employees who represent a safety risk; (iv) drug testing is related to reductions in the prevalence of cannabis positive tests among employees, but this might not translate into fewer cannabis users; and (v) urinalysis has not been shown to have a meaningful impact on job injury/accident rates.

    How I Got My V-Card Back

      • Haaah, Second link on the bottom is to my Twitter!
      • The ad was a success — from Conran’s viewpoint. It seems pervs from all over Greater Hartford descended on the woman’s house. Some showed up at her door, while others drove slowly through the neighborhood. It got so bad that the woman’s brother-in-law had to stand guard to shoo the creeps away. But it wasn’t all innocent weirdness. One moron showed up at the wrong house and was arrested after groping a teenage girl. Needless to say, police weren’t amused by Conran’s little hijinx. They got with Craigslist and the IP provider and traced the bogus ad back to Conran.
      • T.D. Gonzalez’s sister, Jessica, a 12th grader, said, “I know they were talking about doing this on 4-20, April 20th, Bob Marley Day, but Bob Marley was about marijuana, and not about overdosing. This could have killed some students. Plus, today is not really Bob Marley Day. 420 is a national marijuana day.” “It’s retarded,” said 8th grader Carlos Salvat. “It’s dumb. It’s about getting sick for nothing.”
      • A Russian hacker who says he is living in New Zealand attempted to sell the login details of millions of Facebook users – an unprecedented attack on the world’s biggest social networking site.
      • Dr Abecassis performs a “hymenoplasty” as it’s called, at least two to three times a week. Re-connecting the tissue of the hymen takes about 30 minutes under local anaesthetic.He says the average age of the patient is about 25, and they come from all social backgrounds. Although the surgery is performed in clinics around the world, Dr Abecassis is one of the few Arab surgeons who talks openly about it. Some of the women come to him because they need virginity certificates in order to marry.
        “She can be in danger because sometimes it’s a matter of traditions and family,” says Dr Abecassis. “I believe we as doctors have no right to decide for her or judge her.”
        With Chinese manufacturers leading the way, there are now non-surgical options on the market as well. One website sells artificial hymens for just £20 (23 euros). The Chinese hymen is made of elastic and filled with fake blood. Once inserted in the vagina, the woman can simulate virginity, the company claims.
