Paula Jones doesn’t bare enough for the Mandingo Warriors – David Joyner, a Texas prisoner serving time for robbery and assault, sued Penthouse Magazine because their December pictorial of Paula Jones was not revealing enough. He claimed that it caused him to be “very mentally hurt and angered” and sought $500,000 in damages. In the lawsuit he identified himself as the Minister of Law of the Mandingo Warriors prison gang. Here’s the best part: U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks dismissed the lawsuit with a 12-line poem and a $250 fine for filing a frivolous legal motion. That’s right. A poem: “Twas the night before Christmas and all through the prison, inmates were planning their new porno mission. … The minute his Penthouse issue arrived, the Minister ripped it open to see what was inside. But what to his wondering eyes should appear — not Paula Jones’ promised privates, but only her rear. Life has its disappointments. Some come out of the blue but that doesn’t mean a prisoner should sue.” I think I like this judge.

Closet soldier busted! – While her friends were hiding beer and fake ID’s in their closets, this 15-year-old hid an AWOL soldier complete with a neatly-kept bed, some canned food and a Bible. The soldier was arrested after the mother discovered the live-in arrangement, and is currently awaiting trial on charges of “illegal use of a minor” and “corruption of a minor”

Where were these kids’ parents? Turkey’s Radio and Television High Council has ordered a TV channel to stop airing Pokemon after two children leapt from balconies believing they had superhuman powers. This is nuts. It’s a goddamn cartoon – if these kids (ages 4 and 7) are confused about the difference between a little animated whatever-the-fuck-a-Pokemon-is and reality… their slack-jawed parents are the ones that need a fucking slap! What does this say about where society is heading? Parents let the TV babysit their kids and then shuck their responsibility off to the rest of society… fuck that – get off your asses and raise your kids yourselves or get out of the gene pool!

Our calendar and the REAL Millennium – I know this whole discussion is a little old – Who cares about the math, it was just a lot more dramatic when the numbers went from 1999-2000, right? That’s what I said. Still, this article is damn interesting – the history of our calendar is pretty wild – the whole concept is pretty abstract to begin with, then mix in some bad math and confusion will ensue: “..if you’re a stickler for accuracy, the third Christian millennium actually began on January 1, 1997 (or if the spring hypothesis is correct, sometime in March or April)… or more properly on Dec. 26, 1996 (or January 6, 1997 if we use the old date assigned – which means January 18 in the orthodox calendar)… unless Jesus was born in 5 BCE, in which case this year is really 2002…” yeesh…. glad I celebrated last year.
