SIOUX FALLS, South Dakota (AP) -- A man who once weighed more than half a ton has lost 321 pounds under the care of a team of doctors and hopes to lose 450 pounds more.

...

A group known as the League of Human Dignity helped arrange for Deuel to be driven to a local livestock scale, where he could be weighed.

I bet the League members have totally bitchin' costumes with flashy capes and shit.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) -- Annoyed by a stream of unwanted kisses, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo has warned overzealous male fans and supporters that to avoid embarrassment they should not pucker up in her direction.

"First, show some respect. Secondly, I am conservative. I do not want to be kissed by any man but my husband," she told a town hall meeting in Laguna province, south of Manila.

An email from my mom:

Alright...they were just talking about a huge woman on the news. She lived
in Florida and hasn't been off her couch in, they estimate, 2-3 years. Her
skin is intertwined with the fabric on the couch and they had to cut a big
hole in the house to get her out to go to the hospital!!!!
If she hasn't moved in 2-3 years, WHERE WAS SHE GOING TO THE BATHROOM????

Allred said she was struck by one piece of information that came out of Wednesday's session:

Peterson was heard saying on one of the tapes that he believed "The Shining" -- in which a crazed novelist tries to kill his wife with an ax -- was the best movie ever made.

Frey, a massage therapist and single mother of two, told the court Tuesday that Peterson told her a string of lies as their relationship progressed, including denying he was married.

Frey said that throughout their brief relationship, which began November 20, 2002, Peterson showed affection for her daughter, Ayianna, now 3. Frey also has an infant and left the courtroom briefly Wednesday to feed the child.

In one tape played Wednesday, Peterson said he wanted to take Ayianna somewhere where there was snow.

RICHMOND, Texas (AP) -- A man who said the movie "The Passion of the Christ" prompted him to confess to strangling his girlfriend pleaded guilty Wednesday.

"I take full responsibility for my actions, and I plead guilty," Dan Leach II told State District Judge Brady Elliott.

Despite the confession, Leach had pleaded innocent, and his murder trial had begun Tuesday with jury selection.

"It's time to think of Ashley Wilson and the life she was deprived of," prosecutor Greg Gilleland said. "Give a life sentence to Dan Leach to keep him off the streets."

OK, come on does this guy really deserve life??!?!

Red Panda Sanskrit (ex machina), Thursday, 12 August 2004 13:19 (twenty-one years ago)

Depends, what were the circumstances?

He strangled his girlfriend after she told him he was pregnant with her baby (ME says she wasn't pregnant, BTW). I say LOCK HIM UP.

VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 12 August 2004 15:45 (twenty-one years ago)

I say we lock him up of course, but life is very extreme

Red Panda Sanskrit (ex machina), Thursday, 12 August 2004 15:46 (twenty-one years ago)

he was pregnant with her baby

If the huh is a confused utterance: this is pretty much my best offering. There's no meanness to this, G., but your postings do usually take me back.

I'd choke a bitch, too. "Dammit, how am I gonna have this baby? AND WHERE WILL IT COME OUT?????"

from 'yr favourite rekkid stores' on ilm:

Why fetishize software? Every piece o' wax referenced in this thread can be downloaded for free as a high-quality rip on any number of servers. If you're all so wildly into obsolescence, why not collect early 20th century iceboxes or crank telephones? I don't mean to unnecessarily irritate, but isn't actually hearing music at your leisure (while maintaining a semi-comfortable lifestyle) better than spending wads of hard-earned dough at dreadful joints like Kim's or Bleecker Bob's, and living hand-to-mouth on yr ex-girlfriend's sofa? Most significantly, you can put tens of throusands of albums on an external hard drive. Gross weight of typical record geek's fetish crate: 298 kg. Conversely, 120 GB HDD: 0.75 kg.

Just a thought... Happy hunting, you wacky consumers!

An estimated 120,000 bees held residents of the apartment building and nearby homes hostage in Santa Ana, California after the children pelted their 500 pound (227 kg) hive with rocks on Thursday, Santa Ana Fire Captain Steve Horner said.


...
The quarter-ton honeycomb, which may have accumulated inside the apartment wall for years, was so big it was threatening the structural integrity of the two-story building, Horner said.

I like to imagine Jon tilting his head and saying "HUH?" every time he posts on this thread.

Jeremy - ? Surely they're not that odd, esp. considering the diversity of posters here. I can't be that exceptional from the rest of the lot. (For the record, I'm not offended, just surprised.)
