From the News: Amusing Myself
Chris Rock's Mom Claims Discrimination
"Cracker Barrel has in the past faced numerous lawsuits and a federal inquiry over complaints of refusing to serve black customers, discriminating against minority workers and firing gay employees. The company has taken steps to rebuild its folksy image and reach out to minorities."
Cracker Barrel… Hmm, maybe they should start there.
Afghan kidnappers 'want convert'
"The kidnappers will free Mr Torsello, a Muslim convert, if Abdul Rahman returns from Italy where he was granted asylum earlier this year, the aid agency says. … Mr Rahman had escaped a possible death sentence for becoming a Christian."
So they kidnap a Muslim, an ex-Catholic no less, so they can whack the ex-Muslim, Christian convert in accordance with their fundamentalist interpretation of shari'a, just because he's an Italian? That in of itself sounds… blasphemous?
Chuck Berry getting his licks at 80
"Early next year, he'll release a CD of new material, his first commercial release in more than 20 years."
Wait, so Chuck Berry produced most of his greatest hits in his thirties?
Human species 'may split in two'
"The descendants of the genetic upper class would be tall, slim, healthy, attractive, intelligent, and creative and a far cry from the "underclass" humans who would have evolved into dim-witted, ugly, squat goblin-like creatures."
So medium-height guys with little pot bellies and hemorrhoids are going to go extinct? Bummer. But:
"But in the nearer future, humans will evolve in 1,000 years into giants between 6ft and 7ft tall, he predicts, while life-spans will have extended to 120 years, Dr Curry claims.
"Physical appearance, driven by indicators of health, youth and fertility, will improve, he says, while men will exhibit symmetrical facial features, look athletic, and have squarer jaws, deeper voices and bigger penises.
"Women, on the other hand, will develop lighter, smooth, hairless skin, large clear eyes, pert breasts, glossy hair, and even features, he adds. Racial differences will be ironed out by interbreeding, producing a uniform race of coffee-coloured people."
I can't be sure about all of those physical features, mind you, but am I the only one who is reminded of The Rock and Angelina Jolie? Hey, I might be on to something!
