Valentine's Day Zen.

"We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love."

Hot Fuzz.

wtf?

No one disputes that an on-duty Irvine police officer got an erection and ejaculated on a motorist during an early-morning traffic stop in Laguna Beach. The female driver reported it, DNA testing confirmed it and officer David Alex Park finally admitted it.

When the case went to trial, however, defense attorney Al Stokke argued that Park wasn’t responsible for making sticky all over the woman’s sweater. He insisted that she made the married patrolman make the mess—after all, she was on her way home from work as a dancer at Captain Cream Cabaret.

“She got what she wanted,” said Stokke. “She’s an overtly sexual person.”

A jury of one woman and 11 men—many white and in their 50s or 60s—agreed with Stokke. On Feb. 2, after a half-day of deliberations, they found Park not guilty of three felony charges that he’d used his badge to win sexual favors during the December 2004 traffic stop.

Seals are slippery. In a straight line, they can outswim even the mighty Great White. This is why the sharks of Seal Island, South Africa prefer this method of hunting, attacking from directly beneath the unsuspecting seal:

Shari'a.



The Muslim man who is not currently a fornicator can only marry a Muslim woman who is not currently a fornicatress or a chaste woman from the people of the book, ie, Jews or Christians.

The Muslim fornicator can only marry a Muslim fornicatress.

The number of wives is limited to one. In times where there the population of men is smaller than normal, such as times of war, up to four wives can be taken, but only if they are treated equally and with the consent of the first wife.

The Muslim woman who is not currently a fornicatress can only marry a Muslim man who is not currently a fornicator.

The Muslim fornicatress can only marry a Muslim fornicator.

Unmarried sex is permitted with slaves and captives of war (Quran 4:24), but the captive women must consent to marriage if the Muslim man wishes to marry her.

Relationships.

Hey, you, Some Guy. It’s me, Some Girl. I guess we might as well have a life together. We’re on a schedule here. I’m in my mid to late twenties; you’re two years older than me. We’re at about the same level of attractiveness. We have comparable educations. I need to mate, and you’ll probably do as well as anyone else. Let’s begin this typical courtship process, shall we?

You want sex? Fine. Roll around on me for a while. Whatever gets this moving. Are you done? Good. Now go tell your friends about it. And have a good time, you won’t be seeing much of them any more.

I guess we should go to some movies and maybe a concert or two. That was nice. Now let’s get in a fight and then make up. Good. Now let’s go camping. While camping, let’s take some pictures of us camping that we can hang up in our cubicles to remind us of the time we went camping. That will be a cherished memory.

Okay, I guess it’s time to move into an apartment together that’s about ten miles away from my parents’ house. Let’s live in this apartment for a year. Let’s go to a Memorial Day barbecue at my parents’ house. Good. Okay, time to get married.

When you propose, don’t try to do anything cute like putting the ring in my wine glass or having a sports mascot bring it to me at a ball game. It’s all been done before, and you are not a very creative person. It would probably just come off as cheesy and forced. Just get down on a knee and get it over with. New Year’s Eve works fine for me.

Our wedding will take place a year-and-a-half from your proposal. It doesn’t really take that long to set up a wedding; I just want to relish the fact that we are getting married for as long as I possibly can. During that time, I will be the center of attention. Sadly, this will be the highlight of my life. I have no aspirations to write a great book that will change the way people think, I don’t want to travel the world and witness the majesty and diversity of foreign lands, I don’t want to dedicate my life to intellectual or philosophical pursuits in an attempt to take my mind places that no one has ever gone- I just want to look skinnier in my dress than my bridesmaids. Okay, that’s done.

A cat has been put on anti-depressants after being bullied by other cats.

Twiglet's weight ballooned to 15lb because she was too scared to go out.

Her owner Jackie Martin, 28, had to install a bigger cat flap because Twiglet was too fat to get through.

Jackie took her to a vet, who prescribed amitriptyline - similar to Prozac, reports the Sun.

Jackie said: "She was given the drugs to calm her down and alleviate her anxieties.

"The problem is, you need to hold her jaw and drop the tablets in but she was a violent cat."

Twiglet began to get better as a result of the tablets and when the bullying ginger tom moved away.

Twiglet is now average weight after shedding 6lb in five months.
