I think you're the father of one of my kids

A guy goes to the supermarket and notices a beautiful blond woman wave at him and say hello. He's rather taken aback, because he can't place where he knows her from. So he says, "Do you Know me?"

She replies, "I think you're the father of one of my kids."

Now his mind travels back to the only time he has ever been unfaithful to his wife and says, "My God":

Are you the stripper from my bachelor party that tied me to the the pool table, gagged me with your sequined bra, shaved my pubes, while your partner whipped my butt with wet celery? My buddies still laugh themselves senseless over that night!

She looks into his eyes and calmly says, "No, I'm your son's math teacher."

Woman Gets 11 Years for Cooking Boyfriend and Feeding Him to Guests

Woman Gets 11 Years for Cooking Boyfriend and Feeding Him to Guests

A court in the Russian internal republic of Bashkortostan has passed an 11-year sentence to a woman who killed her boyfriend with an axe and then cooked him in a variety of dishes which she fed to her guests at a New Year party.

The Komsomolskaya Pravda daily reports that the incident took place in the small town of Sterlitamak. The 44-year old woman suspected her boyfriend, who was younger than her, of unfaithfulness and in a heated row grabbed an axe and hacked him to death.

Then, the woman flayed and dismembered the body. She threw away the head and used the rest to cook a New Year dinner. She minced some meat and used in meatballs and dumplings and also made jellied meat with hands and feet — she later bartered that dish for liquor with neighbors.

When the guests arrived, the woman treated them to everything she cooked — meatballs, dumplings, soup and liver sausage. The people did not know they were eating human flesh, only one guest noticed that the meat was unusually sweet, but he was told that this was because it was very fresh.

When the party was coming to an end, one of the guests looked into the fridge and found a severed human hand there. He called the police and the murderer confessed during the first questioning.

Negative Calorie Foods: 15 Foods That Actually Burn More Calories Than They Contain

Celery: A staple on most party veggie trays, celery (without the ranch dressing) is a crispy snack that you can enjoy without worrying about taking in any calories. It is high in sugar and sodium, but still much healthier than pigging out on brownies or salty peanuts.

Oranges

Strawberries

Tangerines

Carrots

Apricots

Lettuce

Tomatoes

Cucumbers: Your salad can’t survive on lettuce alone. Cucumbers are another negative calorie food that are great for crunching on when your mouth is getting bored. Check here for tips on growing your own cucumbers.

Watermelon

Cauliflower: Another party platter vegetable, raw cauliflower is naturally low in fat and of course, calories, so don’t be shy about piling up your cocktail napkin.

Apples

Hot Chili Peppers

Zucchini

Woman jailed for testicle attack

A woman who ripped off her ex-boyfriend's testicle with her bare hands has been sent to prison.

Amanda Monti, 24, flew into a rage when Geoffrey Jones, 37, rejected her advances at the end of a house party, Liverpool Crown Court heard.

She pulled off his left testicle and tried to swallow it, before spitting it out. A friend handed it back to Mr Jones saying: "That's yours."

Monti admitted wounding and was jailed for two-and-a-half years.

'Pulled hard'

Sentencing Monti, Judge Charles James said it was "a very serious injury" and that Monti was not acting in self defence.

In his statement, Mr Jones said she grabbed his genitals and "pulled hard".

I am in no way a violent person

He added: "That caused my underpants to come off and I found I was completely naked and in excruciating pain."

Study Suggests You Can Die of a Broken Heart

Stress Hormones Cause Fatal Spasms, Scientists Find

scientists have confirmed the lament of countless love sonnets and romance novels: People really can die of a broken heart, and the researchers now think they know why.

A traumatic breakup, the death of a loved one or even the shock of a surprise party can unleash a flood of stress hormones that can stun the heart, causing sudden, life-threatening heart spasms in otherwise healthy people, researchers reported yesterday.

The phenomenon can trigger what seems like a classic heart attack and can put victims at risk for potentially severe complications and even death, the researchers found.

No one knows how often it happens, but the researchers suspect it is more frequent than most doctors realize

The new insight is perhaps the most striking example of the link between mind and body

unclear why women would be more vulnerable

something to do with hormones or how their brains are wired to their hearts

Colin Powell condemns the ugliness of the Republican Party

I'm anything but a fan of Colin Powell, and have no idea what impact (if any) his Meet the Press endorsement of Obama will have (full video is below), but I was really glad to see him make the following point in explaining why he has rejected McCain's candidacy:

I'm also troubled by, not what Sen. McCain says, but what members of the party say, and it is permitted to be said such things as: "Well, you know that Mr. Obama is a Muslim." Well, the correct answer is: he is not a Muslim. He's a Christian. He's always been a Christian.

But the really right answer is: What if he is? Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country? The answer is: No, that's not America. Is there something wrong with some 7-year-old Muslim-American kid believing he or she can be President?

Yet I have heard senior members of my own party drop the suggestion: he's a Muslim, and he might be associated with terrorists. This is not the way we should be doing it in America.

How Plastic We've Become

clipper's remarks: Our bodies carry residues of kitchen plastics

Clip Source: www.sciencenews.org

In the 1967 film classic The Graduate, a businessman corners Benjamin Braddock at a cocktail party and gives him a bit of career advice. "Just one word…plastics."

Although Benjamin didn't heed that recommendation, plenty of other young graduates did. Today, the planet is awash in products spawned by the plastics industry. Residues of plastics have become ubiquitous in the environment—and in our bodies.

A federal government study now reports that bisphenol A (BPA)—the building block of one of the most widely used plastics—laces the bodies of the vast majority of U.S. residents young and old.

Manufacturers link BPA molecules into long chains, called polymers, to make polycarbonate plastics. All of those clear, brittle plastics used in baby bottles, food ware, and small kitchen appliances (like food-processor bowls) are made from polycarbonates. BPA-based resins also line the interiors of most food, beer, and soft-drink cans.

YANGON, Myanmar (CNN) -- Shots were fired to clear crowds defying a brutal crackdown in Myanmar Friday as authorities reportedly cut Internet connections and graphic new video footage showed troops using deadly force.

The governemt also cut Internet connections Friday, according to reports, severing a vital information link that has been used to digitally smuggle images of the violent suppression out of the secretive state.

The opposition National League for Democracy party won general elections in 1990, but the military refused to honor the results and has repeatedly placed party leader and Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi under house arrest.

DVB also released video on Friday that appeared to show someone being shot at close range in Yangon a day earlier. The person flies backward into the street as shots ring out and the crowd scatters. Watch police open fire on crowds. »

Israeli MP Blames Gays for Earthquakes

Forget tectonic plates. According to Shlomo Benizri, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish member of the Knesset, homosexuality causes earthquakes.

During a committee hearing on disaster preparedness, Benizri, a member of the Shas Party, reportedly urged lawmakers to "stop passing legislation on how to encourage homosexual activity in the state of Israel, which anyway brings about earthquakes."

Benizri was referring in part to a decision last week by Israel's attorney general granting adoption rights to same sex couples. Israel which decriminalized homosexuality in 1988, experienced at least two tremors measuring 5.0 on the Richter scale last week.

"God says you shake your genitals where you are not supposed to and I will shake my world in order to wake you up," Benizri reportedly explained to the parliamentary committee on disaster preparedness.
