TWISTED:
A football fan in Fayetteville, Arkansas, with a mobile phone in his pocket equipped with one-touch buttons called the 911 emergency number 35 times by standing up and sitting down while cheering until police traced it to Razorback Stadium.
Fortunately for the fan, the police understood it was inadvertent and did not arrest him.
Hehehe!
TWISTED:
A smuggler has been arrested in Brazil with rare birds' eggs hatching in his underpants.
Austrian Johan Zillinger had five parakeet's eggs wrapped in a sock, stuffed in his undies to keep them warm.
He was stopped by customs officials at Rio airport while waiting for a flight home. Some of the eggs had hatched.
"He put the eggs near his testicles so they would be at nest temperature," said a police spokesman.
"Some of the parakeets were newborns, we assume that some of the eggs had hatched."
Officers also found 21 parrots, four parakeets and two snakes hidden in his suitcase.
21 parrots in a single suitcase! that's twisted!
DID YOU KNOW?
Did you know that in France, Napoleon instituted a scale of fines for sex offences, which included 35 francs for a man guilty of lifting a woman's skirt to the knee and 70 francs if he lifted it to the thigh?
Yeah thats sick, I usually don't put more than 3 or 4 into the one suitcase at a time.Quote:

Yeah, pythagorus the parrot always used to like travelling in a suitcase, but then he suffocated, so now he's only a polygon.:)

DID YOU KNOW?
Did you know that at one time swallowing a spider was thought to be a cure for jaundice?
I had a parrot "the Demon" that ate all the others in his suitcase, since that day i learned to put all the ugly parrots in the same suitcase as him.
Another one which i called "parksie" harrased all female parrots in his suitcase, and if he was put in a suitcase with males, he would be totally knoked out.
Poor 'lil parrot!
I had a little parrot "pix" that was afraid of something all the time so i couldn't put her in a suitcase at all
evening all
Evening Ian, hows the stuff?
Howdy Ian!
i forgot the good news: I got 18 new Athlon stickers, 3 Duron and 3 K6
not too bad thanks apart from i've just gad a mamoth 7 hour drive on a friday afternoon to get back from alton towers :(. Bloody good couple of days though :)
Hi Ian...glad to hear you had a good time....just got back from lunch myself! I'm stuffed to overflowing and need a nap. Unfortunately, I have to work....mutter, mutter....so I'll talk to you later!
Did you go on Nemesis?
Yep, certainly did, about 10 times :), overall that was pretty much the best ride, but for sheer gut renching the Oblivion takes the prize. it whinches you up about 100m, then dangles you for about 5 seconds whilst over the speakers "Don't Look Down" get's said, and you plunge vertically down into a tunnel underground. You pull about 4G going down and is an absolutley superb ride, just a shme it's all over in about 30 secs. Stayed at the hotel there as well and was an absolutley gorgeous place. The funny thing about the hotel was the lifts. You go in them and press the button and as soon as the door closes the lights start flickering and this eerie music starts playing :)
Yep Oblivion is pretty good too :)
Anyway, must dash, Have I Got News For You is on in a minute. Have a nice weekend everyone, bye :D
bye pix.
i have to go too, watch a cool movie Truman Show

Did you know that the fastest time recorded for a contestant in Who Wants to be a Millionaire's fastest-finger round is 0.87 seconds by Shannon McGehee of San Diego, California on 12th January 2000. The question involved putting Elizabeth Taylor's husbands in order according to the dates she married them.
