Saudi cleric says women who drive risk damaging their ovaries
(Reuters) - A conservative Saudi Arabian cleric has said women who drive risk damaging their ovaries and bearing children with clinical problems, countering activists who are trying to end the Islamic kingdom's male-only driving rules.
A campaign calling for women to defy the ban in a protest drive on October 26 has spread rapidly online over the past week and gained support from some prominent women activists. On Sunday, the campaign's website was blocked inside the kingdom.
In an interview published on Friday on the website sabq.org, Sheikh Saleh bin Saad al-Lohaidan said women aiming to overturn the ban on driving should put "reason ahead of their hearts, emotions and passions".
Reuters earlier wrongly identified him as Sheikh Saleh bin Mohammed al-Lohaidan, a member of the Senior Council of Scholars, one of the top religious bodies in the birthplace of Islam.
By contrast, Sheikh Saleh bin Saad al-Lohaidan, the person quoted in the sabq.org report, is a judicial adviser to an association of Gulf psychologists.
His comments reflect the extent of opposition to women driving among some conservatives in Saudi Arabia.
"If a woman drives a car, not out of pure necessity, that could have negative physiological impacts as functional and physiological medical studies show that it automatically affects the ovaries and pushes the pelvis upwards," he told Sabq.
"That is why we find those who regularly drive have children with clinical problems of varying degrees," he said.
He did not cite specific medical studies to support his arguments.
The ban on women driving is not backed by a specific law, but only men are granted driving licences. Women can be fined for driving without a licence but have also been detained and put on trial in the past on charges of political protest.
Sheikh Abdulatif Al al-Sheikh, the head of the morality police, told Reuters a week ago that there was no text in the documents making up sharia, or Islamic law, that barred women from driving.
King Abdullah has pushed some cautious reforms aimed at expanding women's freedoms in Saudi Arabia, including opening more employment opportunities for them, but he has not addressed the issue of driving.

Austrian Woman Offers Live Tank Shell on Swap Site
VIENNA October 24, 2013 (AP)
Associated Press
It's not often that a swap site transaction results in the evacuation of an apartment house. But then again, how often is one of the objects being traded a live tank shell?
Austrian state broadcaster ORF says the shell was on offer as a dummy. It says police had to clear a Vienna apartment house of its residents and put up road blocks after establishing that it was in fact a fully functioning explosive.
Thursday's report said police were called to examine the shell by its new owner shortly after she had exchanged two bottles of wine and a picture frame for it on an online swap site.
ORF said the shell's previous owner had used it as a door stopper.
The report says both women face unspecified criminal charges.

Have people STOPPED going through their children's candy with a fine toothed comb before letting them eat any?
This sort of thing has been going on for more than 35 years now. Back then little sewing pins in candy would be on the news every year. My parents had a strict rule to inspect all wrappers for signs of tampering. Pretty much anything homemade or wrapped in saran wrap was tossed without hesitation. Heck around that time we use to have the cyanide in Tylenol scare and there was fear of that crossing into the candy as well.
Make sure your kids know to not touch a thing till they get home. My brother use to give the kids a couple candy bars to have while they were out trick or treating so they wouldn't get tempted to sneak some out of the bag during.
I think this one's self-explanatory. Wacky? Check. Weird? Check. WTF Siberia? Check.
Drunk Man Wakes Up in Body Bag in Morgue After Big Night Out
by JON DAVID KAHN 7 Nov 2013
POLAND - It was one of those nights for 56-year-old Marek Michalski. One of those nights when "one more" seemed like a good idea - but wasn't. He was found passed out on a bench in Piotrkow, Poland without a pulse. Concerned citizens called an ambulance and he was whisked away.
Fade to Black:
Fade in:
It's hours later. It's dark. It's quiet.
Marek awoke in a body bag and screamed for help but nobody heard him. He then rolled the bag off the table and extricated himself from his premature eternal sleeping bag to find himself in the morgue.
He told local media, "I remember sitting on a bench and the next thing I woke up in a morgue. Someone has to pay for this, I have nightmares now about being sliced up by doctors who don’t realize I am alive and want to do an autopsy."
Marek intends to file suit against the hospital which gave a glimpse of its razor sharp defense: "They [the staff] believed that the man was dead and followed procedure by putting him inside a sealed bag."
The moral of the story is if you plan to drink a lot, try not to die...if even for a short while.

White guy wins after leading voters to believe he’s black

HOUSTON -- Dave Wilson chuckles as he talks about his unorthodox political campaign.
"I'd always said it was a long shot," Wilson says. "No, I didn't expect to win."
Still, he figured he'd have fun running, because he was fed up with what he called "all the shenanigans" at the Houston Community College System. As a conservative white Republican running in a district whose voters are overwhelmingly black Democrats, the odds seemed overwhelmingly against him.
Then he came up with an idea, an advertising strategy that his opponent found "disgusting." If a white guy didn't have a chance in a mostly African-American district, Wilson would lead voters to think he's black.
And it apparently worked. In one of the biggest political upsets in Houston politics this election season, Wilson -- an anti-gay activist and former fringe candidate for mayor -- emerged as the surprise winner over 24-year incumbent Bruce Austin. His razor thin margin of victory, only 26 votes, was almost certainly influenced by his racially tinged campaign.
"Every time a politician talks, he's out there deceiving voters," he says.
Wilson, a gleeful political troublemaker, printed direct mail pieces strongly implying that he's black. His fliers were decorated with photographs of smiling African-American faces -- which he readily admits he just lifted off websites -- and captioned with the words "Please vote for our friend and neighbor Dave Wilson."
One of his mailers said he was "Endorsed by Ron Wilson," which longtime Houston voters might easily interpret as a statement of support from a former state representative of the same name who's also African-American. Fine print beneath the headline says "Ron Wilson and Dave Wilson are cousins," a reference to one of Wilson's relatives living in Iowa.
"He's a nice cousin," Wilson says, suppressing a laugh. "We played baseball in high school together. And he's endorsed me."
Austin tried to answer the mailer with his own fliers showing Wilson's face, calling him a "right-wing hate monger" and saying he "advocated bringing back chain gangs to clean highways." But the campaign clearly caught him off guard.
"I don't think it's good," he said. "I don't think it's good for both democracy and the whole concept of fair play. But that was not his intent, apparently."
Just how much a role Wilson's mailers played in the campaign is unclear. Other incumbents running for re-election were forced into runoffs, perhaps because the community college system has come under intense criticism for insider business deals and spending money on overseas initiatives. And after 24 years in office, Austin's name should have been somewhat familiar to his constituents.
"I suspect it's more than just race," says Bob Stein, the Rice University political scientist and KHOU analyst. "The Houston Community College was under some criticism for bad performance. And others on the board also had very serious challenges."
Austin has said he plans to ask for a recount. But in an era of electronic voting, political analysts said Wilson's victory will probably hold and send him into office for a six-year term.

Charlie Sheen offers ‘steady hand and compassionate heart’ to Rob Ford
Today's Rob Ford video
A short while later he apologized for those comments. You gotta feel sorry for his wife, who appeared today standing by his side during that apology looking absolutely miserable, and his kids, but this guy is bringing it all upon himself. Toronto's football team came out saying on Twitter they wish like hell he hadn't been wearing one of their jerseys when he made an ass of himself.

I wonder what would happen if they ran those tests on bibles. My guess is that the results would be similar.Shaun__ said:

Strip Club Owner Buys House Next Door To Ex-Wife And Installs $7,000 Middle Finger Statue
The sculpture is 12 feet tall and has a spotlight trained on it at night.
Alan Markovitz, a strip club entrepreneur in Detroit, erected a 12-foot-high sculpture of a hand flipping the bird on his back deck. It happens to face the back windows belonging to his ex-wife, Lea Tuohy.
“How psychotic do you have to be to buy the house directly next to your ex wife and then put a statue up like that?!?! Real classy alan,” tweeted his daughter, Lenka Tuohy, on Nov. 11.
Markovitz and Tuohy had been married for two years. The author of Topless Prophet: The True Story of America’s Most Successful Gentleman’s Club Entrepreneur reportedly lives in his new house with his 17-year-old daughter, Tiffany.
But Markovitz claims he has good reason for erecting the massive epithet: He says the man living next door had an affair with his ex-wife while they were still together.
“I’m so over her,” Markovitz told Deadline Detroit. “This is about him. This is about him not being a man.”
The 59-year-old Markovitz, who is starring in HBO’s upcoming reality show Topless Prophet, is a well-known character around Detroit — from opening strip clubs on Detroit’s Eight Mile to being shot twice (once in the face), according to The Daily Mail.

Couple's night of drunken nudity airs live on Twitch via their Playstation 4
t’s often said that adult entertainment thrives on—or even drives—the cutting edge of technology. So we’re not all that shocked that someone had the bright idea to use their Twitch-enabled PlayStation 4 to broadcast an alarming, apparently non-consensual strip show.
With partnerships struck this year between gaming broadcast service Twitch.tv and console competitors Microsoft and Sony, Twitch is poised to capture a far wider audience via the Xbox One and Playstation 4. Both devices can be used to view gameplay streams or share one’s own. Of particular novelty is the “augmented reality” game Playroom, which scans your living room (or whatever space your PS4 sits in) and renders it a virtual sandbox. A clip of a man frolicking with small robots went viral early on, though he maintains he recorded and shared it by accident.
The next idea to capture the gaming community’s attention was The Spartan Show, a bit of live call-in programming from a husband-and-wife team in Washington, D.C., that drew 200,000 viewers. Even Adam Boyes, PlayStation U.S. publisher and developer relations specialist, got in touch to commend the “pretty rad” concept. “We always just thought people would do streams,” he said. “We never thought people would do them with Playroom.”
But who wouldn’t want their own TV channel? Cue sleazy porn music.
Across message boards, gamers who had picked up on the trend predicted the appearance of inappropriate or disturbing content, freely available to countless underage console owners. They didn’t have long to wait. Sexually suggestive material began cropping up, with a full-blown scandal unfolding this weekend: A user with the handle Darckobra captured a marathon drinking session with his wife, who eventually fell asleep on the couch, only to have Darckobra lift up her shirt and expose one breast to the world. The channel then went dark for 15 minutes or so, with Darckobra’s unconscious wife completely naked when the stream continued.
Darckobra’s account was more or less instantly zapped, as Twitch maintains fairly stringent control of its hosted content. In fact, some of the site’s admins have been accused of banning anyone who makes a joke at their expense and making further efforts to sweep all such internal drama under the rug. Aside from such “libelous” comments, Twitch officially prohibits anything “defamatory, obscene, pornographic, indecent, lewd, suggestive, harassing, threatening, invasive of privacy or publicity rights, abusive, inflammatory, fraudulent or otherwise objectionable,” which gives them a pretty wide net as far as deletions go.
Nevertheless, Kotaku wondered if Sony and Twitch—whose spokesman noted that their users were unusually vigilant about reporting service violations—might revisit certain features or disable video sharing for Playroom to nip the problem in the bud. But just a casual perusing of the people broadcasting their Playroom escapades at the moment reveals the problem goes deeper than objectionable imagery. Here, for example, is what was being said in a chatroom by people watching an African-American family’s innocuous broadcast:
Strange: It’s almost as though you can’t draw a line in the sand without someone on the Internet scrambling to cross it.
