Angry pig holds woman hostage - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
Haemish and Andy also did an interview with the lady, quite funny. You can hear it on their “Best of 23rd September” podcast.

Here’s a photo. If that’s the lady’s “house”, I think a frisky pig is the least of her problems……
Witnesses to the incident, and revellers at a neighbouring party in the office of Ports Minister Joe Tripodi, said Mr Brown appeared to be drunk as he danced semi-naked on a couch in the office, The Australian newspaper reports today.
Witnesses on a balcony adjoining the two offices claimed they saw Mr Brown gyrating atop the green chesterfield sofa in what were described as "very brief" underpants to "Oxford street techno-style music."
Mr Brown was then reported to have climbed ontop of Ms Wollongong MP Noreen Hay, who is in her late 50s and is a married mother of four and grandmother of five, before turning to her adult daughter and calling out "Look at this, I'm titty f..... your mother."
All class. How good is the picture in the article though? I also love how they’ve got the little text on the side “DIGITALLY ALTERED IMAGE” just in case you can’t tell.

For those who don’t want to read the article, a couple of guys in the Greek community in Sydney convinced a young woman she was cursed and her family was in big trouble, and the only way of lifting the curse was to undergo rituals that mainly involved sexual acts with her. They charged between $500 and $1000 a session, of which there were at least 70 over a 3 year period. Quite a few people I’ve spoken to about this find it hard to understand how this woman could have been tricked into this to this level. Once, strange but OK. Twice, getting weirder. But 70 times over 3 years sounds a little unbelievable. Note that she was not part of a cult or anything, she lived a “normal” life otherwise.

They haven't smashed anything yet, but they've got a proton beam going the whole way around. I find it annoying that these guys can get a proton beam to travel around a 27,000km circle on their first go and I had to google how to pass a command line parameter into a perl script. Particle physicists make me feel really really dumb.
BBC reporting on a journalism student in Afghanistan that was tortured and sentenced to death for downloading an article from the internet on the role of women in islam. I can't find anything that further corroborates this story though, and there are scant details on the actual offense he was convicted of other than it was "blasphemy".
Hamis and Andy compete in some events of their own devise. The Mystery Penis Guessing game that starts about halfway is particularly funny.
So I'm standing in line at Fry's Electronics assistance desk, and there's this old guy with white hair in a hawaiian shirt in front of me, and he's asking the assistant to chase up some RAM. While the assistant is looking through the computer, catalogs etc, the old guy starts chatting to the assistant and me.
"That's the problem with computers, you can't have just one. Computers are like guns, you can't have just one." says the old man in an easy midwest drawl.
The sales assistant and I smile. The old man continues.
"I used to have 67 guns." The sales assistant and I look at each other, then at the old man. "I see the look on your faces I used to collect them, you see, and people would always give me that look when I told them. I'd tell 'em I've been collecting guns since I was twelve, so it's really not that many, how many am I supposed to have?"
Slightly relieved, the sales assistant and I give a little laugh, and the old man gets a sad look on his face. "I don't have them any more, too old and slow, someone's liable to shoot me with one of 'em. Course the other way guns are like computers is you can't just have the gun or the computer, you've got to have all the bits and pieces to go with 'em. I had 70,000 rounds of ammunition, coz of course every gun you buy has to have a thousand rounds of ammunition to go with it. Oh, except my Ak-47, I had like 5000 rounds of ammunition for that. Remember in the 1980's when you could buy armor piercing rounds, and incendiary rounds and all that?"
I was four in 1980, and I bet the sales assistant was younger than that, but we both smiled and nodded.
"Well I had all of those, as soon as a new round came out I would go buy a thousand of 'em. I have a buddy that used to be a Navy Seal. He helped me setup this rig in the ceiling so when I was in bed if I pulled a cable a bunch of fishing hooks on nylon string would drop down from the ceiling. So then if someone's coming at me they'd get all tangled up. Give me time to get 'em with my shotgun. My wife said to me 'What, you gonna get in a gun fight with somebody?' and I said 'I hope not, but I'm gonna defend myself if I have to!'"
And then in a rehearsed manner that you know has been told in a thousand bars since he was a very young man, "I have a distant relative called John Wesley Hardin, killed 44 people, killed one of them for snoring. There's got to be some of his blood pumping through these veins. They say he killed one man for wearing too loud a shirt. Can you imagine that? I would have been killed by him on many a night back in my disco days!"
Then with a quick salute he walks off, leaving me with an image of an old man in a disco shirt firing a shotgun at a guy that's tangled up in fish hooks and nylon string with an old lady screaming at him from the bed......
From the chicken fajitas I got to go from Chilis, and I think I've finally got the US food industry worked out.
These are terrible. Just terrible. In one season of Beauty and the Geek, the Super Mario looking fat Italian geek has a tattoo of an original NES controller on his arm. I thought that was bad, until I saw these.
It looks like a Whopper’s abortion, left a little too late.

Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best. This might save my poor little dog peering through the little gap next to the gate! Now I just have to find a couple of perspex, dog proof domes to accommodate two differently heighted doggies......Pet Peek™ - The Window For Your Fence
Windows/Mac/Linux: Free ebook converter GutenMark takes plain ebooks from the Project Gutenberg site and converts them into chapter-separated HTML files, italicizes words in foreign languages, removes all-caps instances, and much, much more. One of the main uses of GutenMark is to make ebooks much easier to read on mobile screens, removing hard line breaks and other annoyances that come with some straight-up Gutenberg text downloads. As its own home page describes it, GutenMark is a "prettifier" for Gutenberg texts, and a pretty good one, at that. GutenMark is a free download for WIndows, Linux, and (with more complications) Mac OS X.
This is brilliant, especially for children of the 80’s. In Gremlins 2, the gremlins take over a movie theatre project booth and go into the movie. This is extending that concept to more films. It’s amazingly well done, I would love to see the making of this. It’s so well done I expect it was done by a film student as a final year project or something.
