. . . and which sounds like a marvellous way to fleece the gullible! The Los Angeles Times reports: Vaginal steam baths, called chai-yok, are said to reduce stress, fight infections, clear hemorrhoids, regulate menstrual cycles and aid infertility, among many other health benefits. In Korea, many women steam regularly after their monthly periods. There… Continue reading A ‘health’ fad of which I’d never heard . . .

The perils of taxing witches
Romania has apparently decided to tax witches, astrologers and fortune-tellers with effect from the beginning of 2011. The new law has produced a rather unusual backlash. Angry witches are using cat excrement and dead dogs to cast spells on the president and government, which is forcing them to pay taxes. Also in the eye of… Continue reading The perils of taxing witches
Phosphate follies
I’m sure many readers have been as frustrated as I to discover that the new ‘phosphate-free’ dishwashing detergents don’t remove ingrained grime or dried food worth a damn. I’d say they’re no more than 70% as effective as the old, phosphated varieties. I now have to hand-wash dishes, using regular sink detergent, and make sure… Continue reading Phosphate follies
The criminal justice system fails again
I was appalled and very sad to read of the death of Officer John Maguire of Woburn, MA. He was 60 years old, and on the point of retirement. The Boston Herald reports: The town’s post-Christmas peace was shattered by ex-con Dominic Cinelli, 57, of Woburn, and his plan to use the blizzard’s cover to… Continue reading The criminal justice system fails again
Irony of the week
Richard Littlejohn, writing about the many ‘green’ power-generating wind turbines deployed in England, points out: Over the past three weeks, with demand for power at record levels because of the freezing weather, there have been days when the contribution of our forests of wind turbines has been precisely nothing. It gets better. As the temperature… Continue reading Irony of the week
Taking it all off . . . for journalism???
Via Dustbury, we learn of a journalist who – at the request of her editors – agreed to live nude for a week. Most people wake up in the morning and get dressed. Last week, I agreed to hop out of bed and not get dressed. I called it Naked Week. I believe that a… Continue reading Taking it all off . . . for journalism???
The lunatics are overrunning the asylum again . . .
The Telegraph reports that a French village fears being overrun by moonbats in hot pursuit of mythical UFO’s, space aliens and other nonexistent hobgoblins. Bugarach, population 189, is a peaceful farming village in the Aude region, southwestern France and sits at the foot of the Pic de Bugarach, the highest mountain in the Corbières wine-growing… Continue reading The lunatics are overrunning the asylum again . . .
A Zionist shark???
Following my post yesterday about Egyptian accusations that Israel had somehow been involved in the shark attacks in the Red Sea, reader Moshe R. (in Israel) e-mailed me this picture. After I’d stopped laughing (which took a long time!), I thought I’d share it with you. Tell me, Moshe . . . if one goes… Continue reading A Zionist shark???
Oh, good grief!
Now and again something comes along that’s so outstandingly stupid, so mind-bogglingly moonbattish, that I sit and gape at my screen with open mouth for a moment, stunned, before unleashing a tirade of rather naughty words about the person or persons responsible. Ladies and gentleman, such a person is undoubtedly one Muhammad Abdel Fadil Shousha,… Continue reading Oh, good grief!
A round of applause for the folks at Bundaberg!
I can only applaud the good Aussies at Bundaberg Rum. They produced this advertisement, showing a crocodile meeting an untimely demise. PETA‘s Australian chapter apparently moaned about the ad, claiming it showed cruelty to and indifference toward animals. Bundaberg immediately fired back with this sequel. Gotta love it! EDITED TO ADD: Thanks to Tim D.… Continue reading A round of applause for the folks at Bundaberg!
