Ban miniskirts to prevent traffic accidents

A Ugandan government minister has said miniskirts should be banned because women wearing them distract drivers.

Nsaba Buturo siad wearing miniskirts was equivalent to being naked.

"What's wrong with a miniskirt? You can cause an accident because some of our people are weak mentally," the BBC reported him saying. If you find a naked person you begin to concentrate on the make-up of that person and yet you are driving," he said.

"These days you hardly know who is a mother from a daughter, they are all naked."

Friday, September 19: Today is the birthday of the smiley :-) While such literary giants as Vladimir Nabokov and Ambrose Bierce had previously proposed typographical methods of indicating a joke, the modern emoticon was invented n 1982 by Scott Fahlman of Carnegie Mellon University in America, and announced at 11:44 am on September 19. The frowny :-( was invented simultaneously

In Pulp Fiction did you notice that all of the clocks are stuck on the time 4:20? No, we don't know why either.

No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver, or purple. Don't believe us then go on, try and find one.

Friday, September 12: General John Sedgwick is widely credited as having the finest last words in military history. As the tale is normally told, at the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House during the American Civil War, Sedgwick was upbraiding his Union troops for being scared in the face of Confederate fire. 'I am ashamed of you, dodging that way,' he said, adding cheerily: 'They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance.' At which point, a Confederate sharpshooter shot him in the head from a thousand yards away.

However, some sources indicate that, spoiling a good story, these were only his second-last words. A soldier apparently pointed out that dodging was actually quite a good idea, to which Sedgwick boringly replied: 'All right, my man; go to your place.' Which isn't as funny.

A dolphin: scum of the sea

Thursday, September 11: Bottlenose dolphins - they're lovely, gentle, intelligent, nurturing creatures, right? No. They are actually mass-murdering sea-psychos who may well kill for fun and kidnap female dolphins so they can gang rape them. At least, that's according to New Scientist.

Wednesday, September 10: Satanic Leaf-Tailed Geckos like group sex. Well, that's what it saya here, anyway. Further research sheds very little extra light on the subject, but that's mostly because Googling "Uroplatus phantasticus group sex" brings up some very, very naughty websites that have little to do with lizard husbandry.

DJ's angry wife sells $45,000 sports car for less than $1.00!

A controversial radio DJ's wife sold his $45,000 sports car on eBay for less than a dollar after he flirted with model Jodie Marsh on air.Kerrang 105.2's Tim Shaw told the sexy babe he was prepared to leave his wife and their two children for her.

The DJ's wife was listening and immediately started an auction on eBay to sell his Lotus Esprit Turbo with a 'Buy It Now' option of $1.00.

The item description read: "I need to get rid of this car in the next two to three hours before my husband gets home to find it gone and all his belongings in the street."

The car was sold in under five minutes.

It wasn't the first time this DJ upset his 27-year-old wife. When she was pregnant he rang up her sister live on air and said he thought about her while having sex with his wife.

Mrs Shaw said: "When he said he would leave me and the kids for Jodie Marsh, that was it for me. I am sick of him disrespecting this family for the sake of his act.

"The car is his pride and joy but the idiot put my name on the log book so I just sold it. I didn't care about the money, I just wanted to get him back."

She added: "There is no hope for a reconciliation." A Kerrang 105.2 spokesperson said the DJ was 'absolutely gutted'.
