clipper's remarks: As the current holder of the much coveted Helmet Award, I think the time has come to pass it on. I'd like to give it to Tanyamm, who every day makes us all smile with her fabulous LOLcat clips and is always so polite, sweet, funny and just an all 'round great gal, who I am proud to call a fellow clipper. It was also she, who suggested we should honour each other, so no one could be more deserving of this very, very, very prestigious award.

*drumroll*

"THE HELMET AWARD"

*applause applause applause*

Congratulations, Tanyamm!!

The Helmet Award is now yours and you're free to pass it on to whomever you choose. Wear it with pride.

Heterosexual Ivy League Professor Kills Wife

clipper's remarks: Since people are entertaining the idea that we should ban gay adoption because an allegedly gay man is accused of molesting his adopted son, I think it is only fair that we ask, in light of this incident, if we should ban marriages involving straight men, economists, or Ivy League professors.

Codex Gigas - The Devil's Bible

Sat, 20 Jun 2009 15:37:32 GMT

clipped by: thisnamecantbetaken
clipper's remarks: No records about it's origin, author or reason for writing it have been preserved.

It's been said the manuscript is "eerily flawless". Some think the Codex Gigas was written by the Devil himself. Oooh, creepy!

http://www.nkp.cz/files/codex_gigas_en.pdf

Clip Source: en.wikipedia.org

It is also known as the Devil's Bible due to a large illustration of the devil on the inside and the legend surrounding its creation.

It initially contained 320 vellum sheets, though eight of these were subsequently removed^[3]. It is unknown who removed the pages or for what purpose

The codex weighs nearly 75 kg (165 lbs.)

According to legend the scribe was a monk who broke his monastic vows and was sentenced to be walled up alive. In order to forbear this harsh penalty he promised to create in one single night a book to glorify the monastery forever, including all human knowledge. Near midnight he became sure that he could not complete this task alone, so he made a special prayer, not addressed to God but to the fallen archangel Satan, asking him to help him finish the book in exchange for his soul. The devil completed the manuscript and the monk added the devil's picture out of gratitude for his aid.^[1]^[7]

New Hampshire Passes Law Forcing Old People To Watch Gays Marry

June 17, 2009 | Issue 45•27

CONCORD, NH—Less than two weeks after legalizing gay marriage in the state, New Hampshire legislators enacted a new law Tuesday making it mandatory for persons over the age of 60 to attend three same-sex weddings every year for the rest of their lives. "Beginning July 1, all senior citizens must publicly condone gay unions by RSVPing to the rainbow-colored invitation, putting on nice church clothes, and spending an afternoon celebrating the wedded bliss of two men or two women who like to have sex with each other," bill H.B. 437 read in part. "Any grandparent who refuses to weep joyously when the grooms kiss may be subject to harsh penalties." Gay marriage advocates are already protesting the new statute, which they say unlawfully forces homosexuals to have gross old people at their weddings.

Veronica Maggio - Sweden's new soul sister

In the video for her most recent hit, Stopp, Maggio dons a pair of somewhat disconcerting gloves made from scissors and knives. “It’s because I saw the Edward Scissorhands movie just a few weeks before” explains Maggio:

“The song is about loving somebody that you were with and then realizing that you want that person back desperately and you can’t do anything about it. The more you try to get that person to love you, the further away they move from you… So I thought that the scissor hands was a good metaphor for how when you hurt somebody and you hurt yourself, you can’t really touch that person at all”.

“I wanted it to be a bit psycho too, a bit like a scary stalker person! I didn’t want cute, I wanted to be a little scary for this video”.

“I’ve done lots of songs in English but I’ve never recorded or released them”.

It must be the language barrier or something

I feel more at home with Swedish I guess

Ten Things I’d Love to Tell My Younger Self

Sun, 14 Jun 2009 10:53:49 GMT

clipped by: thisnamecantbetaken
clipper's remarks: 8. When meeting someone new and he or she seems to be behaving like an ass**le, show compassion first.

If after you display your sincere compassion, they are still acting like an assh*le, walk away. If they follow you, call the police.

Have a great Sunday, everyone! .

1. You are at least ten times prettier than you think you are.

2. The only thing you should be faking is confidence.

3. Want to try something new like painting, skiing, running your own business? Go to the library and borrow ten different books on the subject.

4. No matter how old you get, remember what it was like to be a nine-year old girl.

5. In the same vein, cut or potted flowers are never a waste of money.

6. Speaking of money, starting right this moment, whether you’re twenty or sixty, you can change your finances around.

7. If your stomach hurts and you haven’t got a virus, you’re in a bad situation.

8. When meeting someone new and he or she seems to be behaving like an ass**le, show compassion first.

9. Wear sunscreen on your face, neck, and hands every day, winter and summer.

10. And if you are in bed with a man and he's the right man:

... meaning your stomach doesn’t hurt, he’s smiling at you, he knows your name, he’s not drunk, and neither are you—for godsakes—enjoy yourself.

SCOTUS: elected judges can't rule on their donors

clipper's remarks: Law gets a little fairer, and the coal barons of West Virginia find the WV Supreme Court upheld against them and the judge they funded.
An American decision to be proud of! Money doesn't buy everything!

Clip Source: www.nytimes.com

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that elected judges must step aside from cases when large campaign contributions from interested parties create the appearance of bias.

By a 5-4 vote in a case from West Virginia, the court said that a judge who remained involved in a lawsuit filed against the company of the most generous supporter of his election deprived the other side of the constitutional right to a fair trial

judges are elected in 39 states and that candidates for the highest state courts have raised more than $168 million since 2000.

The West Virginia case involved more than $3 million spent by the chief executive of Massey Energy Co. to help elect state Supreme Court Justice Brent Benjamin. At the same time, Massey was appealing a verdict, which now totals $82.7 million with interest, in a dispute with a local coal company. Benjamin refused to step aside from the case, despite repeated requests, and was part of a 3-2 decision to overturn the verdict.

RUNNING IN THE RAIN

Running in the Rain

Olympian Deena Castor, center, leads a group on a damp evening in New York’s Central Park.

The rain — on National Running Day no less — had to be a test from the running gods. How much do you really want to do a run in the park with Olympian Deena Kastor after a long day at work? Wouldn’t the gym be a lot less wet?

I ducked back into my apartment for a hat.

Making my way into Central Park last evening, I breathed in the deliciously earthy odor of wet leaves and worms. I suddenly felt buoyed by the tranquility of the setting and forgot about the rain soaking my shorts and apparently not-water-resistant-after-all running jacket.

Weather is only another variable for this sport; marathons have no dome. Just ask the folks who ran the Chicago Marathon the last two years. You run in the heat, the rain, the snow and whatever other plague comes down because that day is on the schedule.

A group run can make the rain seem almost invisible.

"Two-spirit" mixed gender Native Americans

clipper's remarks: Spanish conquistadors dealt severely with mixed-gender individuals and same-sex practices found in tribe after tribe. I never knew.

Clip Source: en.wikipedia.org

Two-Spirit (also two spirit or twospirit) people are Native Americans who fulfill one of many mixed gender roles found traditionally among many Native Americans and Canadian First Nations indigenous groups. Traditionally the roles included wearing the clothing and performing the work of both male and female genders

what scholars generically refer to as 'Native American gender diversity' was a fundamental institution among most tribal peoples

Some examples of two-spirited people in history include accounts by Spanish conquistadors who spotted a two-spirited individual(s) in almost every village they entered in Central America

Two-spirits might have relationships with people of either sex

Historical "Two-Spirits"

all tribes were influenced by European homophobia/transphobia
