This woman definitely belongs in the worst category. I hope they give her the maximum sentence possible.

No, they can't track my IP or anything. Ughhh...the stupidity of humans at times. Taking advantage of people in a horrible tragedy like this should double the penalty. We don't need people like this in society.

The eff?

A town in Indonesia is [URL="http://news.yahoo.com/indonesian-town-bans-women-straddling-054140862.html"]banning women[/URL] from straddling motorcycles, saying it is improper and against Islam.


[I]A town in Indonesia is banning women from straddling motorcycles, saying it is improper and against Islam.

Women in the town of Lhokseumawe will be told from Monday they cannot straddle a motorcycle or scooter, especially when sitting behind a man, and instead must ride side-saddle.

The mayor of the town, which is under strict Islamic sharia law, says the regulation is to protect women's morals.

"[It] is to maintain women's dignity and good image," said Suaidi Yahya.

[/I]But not their safety?[I]

But the move has drawn criticism from the country's biggest Islamic body, the Ulema Council, which say [U]the Koran does not mention how to ride motorcycles.[/U][/I]

[I]A man in North Carolina was arrested for stabbing a deaf man because he mistook the man's sign language for gang signs, police say. Terrance Daniels, 45, was walking down a street in the town of Burlington, speaking to another man using sign language when Robert Neal, 22, allegedly stabbed Daniels when he misunderstood Daniels' hand signals. Daniels was reported as in stable condition despite his wounds, and Neal was charged with assault with a deadly weapon and assault on a handicapped person.[/I]

[I]A pizza cook who admitted making a hoax call warning of liquid explosives on a plane, causing the flight to be diverted, must write an apology letter to every delayed passenger.

Kenneth Smith Jr., 26, pleaded guilty Monday to malicious false information about an explosive, and false information and hoaxes, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Eastern District of Pennsylvania Office.

The Philadelphia man's call to airport police led to US Airways flight 1267, bound for Dallas-Forth Worth, being diverted back to Philadelphia airport shortly after take-off on Sept 6.

Sixty-nine passengers and five crew members were on the plane.[/I]

Friggin' Philly, eh?
