un-re-rape
how to rape and get away wit it. it's crazy sad but oh so true... something similarish happened to someone i used to know. she woke up next to some guy and couldn't remember anything that had happened the night before (except that she knew they had sex), and so she had sex wit him again. i can't remember wat i thought of it at the time. but i think even then i could kind of see why she slept wit him again. of course, i didn't so fully form the thought as "to regain some her power." :(

bad cow!
"A Michigan couple are happy to be alive after a cow fell from a 200-foot cliff and landed on top of their minivan outside Manson, Wash.
"Charles Everson Jr., 49, of Westland, Mich., said he never saw the incoming animal until it landed squarely on the minivan as he and his wife Linda traveled along Highway 150.
""It was just 'bam' -- you just saw something come down and hit the hood," he said of Sunday's accident. "I'm like, 'I don't believe this. I don't believe this..'"
"County Fire Chief Arnold Baker said the cow, which he estimated at nearly 600 pounds, had been reported missing by a local breeder.
"Whatever caused the animal to hurdle off the cliff remains a mystery, but Baker commented the couple was lucky to escape with only a heavily-damaged vehicle.
""It's funny because it was such a close call," Baker said. "Inches different and the couple in this car would have been killed.""

wake up
reep's starting full time work romrow as a programmer for parasoft in monrovia. yay for him! and while i am sad that we'll be spending less time together (on average we see each other maybe three times a week? for maybe... 12 hours total?) i'm rather relieved that he's starting real work. all we ever really do together is dick around. i mean, sure it's fun watching movies and playing video games but it's not at all productive. wit him working, hopefully i'll get serious about my life too (i naturally tend towards sloth). lord knows it's about time...

bizarre coincidences
+----------------- Bizarre Coincidences -------------------+
A distraught architect threw himself in front of a train in the London Underground in a suicide attempt. Luckily, the train stopped inches from his body; in fact, it had to be jacked off its tracks to allow his removal. When questioned, however, the driver informed officials he hadn't stopped the train. An investigation revealed that one of the passengers, unaware of the suicide attempt, had independently pulled the emergency brake. London Transport officials considered prosecuting the passenger for illegal use of the emergency brake but ultimately decided against it.
George D. Bryson, a businessman from Connecticut, decided to change his travel plans and stop in Louisville, Kentucky, a place he'd never visited before. He went to a local hotel and made preparations to check into Room 307. Before he could do so, a hotel employee handed him a letter addressed to his exact name. It turned out the previous occupant of Room 307 was another George D. Bryson.
One three separate occasions - in the years 1664, 1785, and 1860 - there was a shipwreck in which only one person survived the accident. Each time that one person was named Hugh Williams.
In 1983, a woman told British Rail authorities about a disturbing vision she had of a fatal train crash involving an engine with the numbers 47 216. Two years later, a train had a fatal accident, similar to the one the woman had described. The engine number, however, was 47 299. Later, someone noticed that the number had previously been changed by nervous British Rail officials. The original number: 47 216.
Several secret code words were devised by Allied military commanders during their preparations to invade Normandy in World War II. Among them: "Utah," "Neptune," "Mulberry," "Omaha," and "Overlord." Before the invasion could begin, however, all of these words appeared in a crossword puzzle in the London Daily Telegraph. After interrogating the puzzle's author, an English school teacher, authorities became convinced that it was sheer, inexplicable coincidence.

mallmates
when i was a kid i had fantasies of living at the mall. but even then i was pretty practical and realized that no, that would be too hard because all the stores are locked up at night. i decided that it would be better to live in a superstore of sorts, a fedco maybe (remember those?), because i could very easily mooch off of the store.
now, michael townsend is someone who really did live in a mall. for about four years. ...for reals. he was cool tho. they didn't steal stuff like i would've. but here is a link to the story and if you've got the time (50 mintues), listen to the mp3 of the radio show where he explains stuff. pretty damn worth the time.
thanks to robert for the links! hilarious and incredible!
parables
a couple stories i've picked up from class:
1. confucius was walking around china wit some buddies when they came across a lady who was sobbing. they asked her wat was wrong. "my husband was eaten by a tiger!" oh jesus that's terrible!, they replied. "well, it's actually worse than that; last year my son was eaten by the same tiger!" "...wtf is wrong wit you?! why didn't you move away after it happened the first time?!" to which she replied "there is no oppressive government here." confucius turns to his buddies and says "remember that: an oppressive government is worse than a man eating tiger."
2. two monks were walking around (china again?). as they approached a muddy road they noticed a girl. she was sorta mincing around cause she didn't wanna get dirty so one of the monks gave her a piggy back ride to the clean part of the road. later, back at the monastery, the other monk says "you kno we as monks aren't supposed to touch women, right?" the other monk looks at him in surprise "you're still carrying her? i put her down hours ago!" [haha! but seriously, get it? the spirit of the law, or to the letter?]

no sex!
not the best written article ever, but i do agree wit its message; for most females, young girls included, halloween has become all sex and no scare. i'm not going to lecture about this (i think i talked about the oversexification of halloween for the last two years) but i did find this song by jill sobule which i think is pretty damn funny: women whose costume is just that they're slutty.
btw, i went to a costume party earlier this month and do (somewhere) have pictures of my costume. i'll post it when i get them. :)
update: picture. obvoiusly. more on my flickr.
