The Day Satan Appeared in Church

A few minutes before the church services started, the congregation was sitting in their pews and talking. Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church.Everyone started screaming and running for the back entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate.

Soon the church was empty except for one elderly gentleman who sat calmly in his pew without moving, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God’s ultimate enemy was in his presence.

So Satan walked up to the man and said, ‘Do you know who I am?’

The man replied, ‘Yep, sure do.’

‘Aren’t you afraid of me?’ Satan asked.

‘Nope, sure ain’t.’ said the man.

Don’t you realize I can kill you with one word?’ asked Satan.

‘Don’t doubt it for a minute, ‘ returned the old man, in an even tone.

‘Did you know that I can cause you profound, horrifying agony for all eternity?’ persisted Satan.

‘Yep,’ was the calm reply.

‘And you’re still not afraid?’ asked Satan.

‘Nope,’ said the old man.

More than a little perturbed, Satan asked, ‘ Why aren’t you afraid of me?’

The man calmly replied, ‘ Been married to your sister for 48 years.’

Ivory Coast violence may have claimed almost 200 lives, says US envoy

2010-12-24T00:27:00.000+08:00

UN human rights council in Geneva told of credible reports of killings and torture in violence sparked by disputed election

by David Smith and Reuters

Nearly 200 people may have been killed in Ivory Coast in political violence sparked by last month's disputed election, the US said today.

Eyewitness accounts of death squads abducting opposition sympathisers have emerged from the west African country since President Laurent Gbagbo's refusal to give up power.

At a special session of the UN human rights council in Geneva, American ambassador Betty E King said: "We have credible reports that almost 200 people may have already been killed, with dozens more tortured or mistreated, and others have been snatched from their home in the middle of the night."

Sharks Wary of Drunk Serbs

2010-12-24T00:21:00.000+08:00

Dragan Stevic of Serbia is the new Egyptian hero who killed a large shark which had previously terrorized numerous tourists (injured 4 and killed 1) at the famous Egyptian resort Sarm El Sheikh.

The Serbian hero was too drunk to remember what had happened, though one of his friends who witnessed the incident explained it all for the Belgrade based media.
Dragan Stevic was dubbed by the Egyptian media as "Shark El Sheikh" and thanked him for saving their tourist season.

Milovan Ubirapa, one of Stevic’s friend who witnessed the incident explained that Dragan had decided to go to the beach for a swim after a long night of drinking. As Dragan and his friends approached the beach, he saw a fairly high positioned jumping board utilized earlier in the day by divers.

China Matches U.S. Space Launches for First Time

2010-12-24T00:17:00.000+08:00

By David Axe

Outwardly, it looked like just another big space launch – and those happen about once a week, from spaceports all around the world. But Friday’s blast-off of a rocket, carrying a Chinese GPS-style navigation satellite, from the Xi Chang Satellite Launch Center was different. It set a record for successful Chinese launches in one year: 15. The launch represented another important milestone. For the first time since the chilliest days of the Cold War, another country has matched the U.S. in sheer number of rocket launches.

To some observers, the rapid acceleration of the Chinese space program is perfectly reasonable, even expected. With nearly 20 percent of the world’s population and the planet’s second-biggest economy by some measures, it stands to reason that China would join other advanced, spacefaring nations — and on a grander scale. But more cautious (or alarmist, depending on your point of view) China-watchers question Beijing’s motives … and warn of potentially dire consequences if China comes to dominate the heavens.

Shadow Wars Get Big Bucks in Last-Minute Defense Bill

2010-12-24T00:15:00.000+08:00

By Spencer Ackerman

Defying Beltway expectations, both chambers of Congress approved a $724.6 billion defense bill for the current fiscal year. Congress was feeling generous, and the money lavished on the U.S.’ proxies shows it.

The big winner is Pakistan. The $400 million Pakistan Counterinsurgency Fund, which provides helicopters, night-vision equipment and training to the Pakistan’s Army and Frontier Corps, gets another re-up. There’s also $1.6 billion to reimburse Pakistan (and some other nations, but really Pakistan) for “cooperating in contingency operations in Afghanistan,” which must come as a surprise to U.S., Afghan and Pakistani troops. This cash appears to be yet another U.S. down payment for the Pakistanis to invade North Waziristan, something they’re currently pledging to do the week after never.

Iran recruiting nuclear scientists for weapons programme

2010-12-24T00:13:00.000+08:00

Iran is operating a worldwide recruitment network for nuclear scientists to lure them to the country to work on its nuclear weapons programme, officials have told the Daily Telegraph.

By Damien McElroy, Geneva

They claim that the country is particularly reliant on North Korean scientists but also recruits people with expertise from African countries to work on developing missiles and nuclear production activities.

North Korea relies on an lucrative financing agreement with Iran to fund its expanding nuclear activities. In return for Iranian money and testing facilities, North Korea sends technology and scientists.

Mohamed Reza Heydari, a former Iranian consul in Oslo, told The Daily Telegraph, that he had personally helped scores of North Koreans enter the country while working for the foreign ministry's office in Tehran's Imam Khomenei airport.

"Our mission was to coordinate with a team from the Ministry of Intelligence in checking the visas of the foreign diplomatic and trade delegates who visited Iran, with special attention to VIPs," he said.

"We had the instructions to forego any visa and passport inspections for Palestinians belonging to Hamas and North Korean military and engineering staff who visit Iran on regular basis.

Mustafa Kemal Ataturk

2010-12-24T00:08:00.000+08:00

"A man born out of due season, an anachronism, a throwback to the Tartars of the steppes, a fierce elemental force of a man. With his military genius and his ruthless determination, in a different age he might well have been a Genghis Khan, conquering empires."

Every time I post a story about a Turkish hero kicking ass for the crescent moon, I can generally come into the office Monday expecting a series of emails from my legions of faithful Turkish readers reminding me, "Yes, this guy is very cool, but you're still missing the biggest badass in our country's history so WTF is up with that shit."

"The biggest badass in Turkish history" no small claim for a land that produced a few centuries of uber-powerful, harem-packing sultans who commanded vast amounts of wealth and flexed nuts over even more massive swaths of land, yet it still appears that despite the excellent pedigree of ass-whomping awesomeness going down in Anatolia, one man stands alone as the unequivocal national hero – Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. An, asskicking whirlwind of leadership who is almost universally beloved by his people and respected by his enemies. A guy who made a name for himself by crushing his battle opponents' balls with over-the-top displays of hardcore bayonet-to-face destruction on the battlefield, yet still somehow found a way to end up being honored by the United Nations for promoting "world peace, international understanding, and respect for human rights." A man so unapproachably hardcore that it's actually illegal to publicly insult him in his home country, assuming the locals don't kick your ass into a paste and you somehow survive to see your trial.

6 Near Death Experiences Caught on Video

YouTube has given us a lot of things: vlogs, Fred, one billion parody videos of Beyonce's "Single Ladies" starring adorable kittens instead of saucy black ladies. And now, finally, it's given us something to make up for all of that horrible, horrible bullshit: The ability to watch people nearly die from the safety of our own Cheeto-stained ergonomic office chairs. I'm not talking about hillbilly fireworks accidents or teenage skateboard shenanigans, either; I'm talking about very real, extremely terrifying and possibly bowel-exploding, first-person POV accounts that chronicle what it's really like to survive the scariest disasters possible. You can experience all of it -- the thrills, the adventure, the adrenalin -- and you don't even have to put on pants! In fact, you probably shouldn't (See: Bowel Explosion, above.)

Ancient humans, dubbed 'Denisovans', interbred with us

2010-12-24T00:01:00.001+08:00

By Pallab Ghosh

Scientists say an entirely separate type of human identified from bones in Siberia co-existed and interbred with our own species.

The ancient humans have been dubbed Denisovans after the caves in Siberia where their remains were found.

There is also evidence that this group was widespread in Eurasia.

A study in Nature journal shows that Denisovans co-existed with Neanderthals and interbred with our species - perhaps around 50,000 years ago.

An international group of researchers sequenced a complete genome from one of the ancient hominins (human-like creatures), based on nuclear DNA extracted from a finger bone.

5 San Marcos residents who went to Mexico in November still missing

2010-12-23T01:33:00.000+08:00

The FBI is looking for five San Marcos residents who have been missing in Mexico since Nov. 27.

Some are employees of a San Marcos concrete company who went to pick up a work-related vehicle in Laredo, said Erik Vasys, an FBI special agent.

The missing people are Luis Hernandez, Carlos Ortega, Nicolas Munoz, Ricardo Gomez and 14-year-old Giovanni Gomez, KVUE-TV reported.

The group crossed the Texas-Mexico border into Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, on Nov. 27 for what was supposed to be a one-day trip. They haven't been heard from since, Vasys said.

He said authorities are treating the disappearances as missing persons cases. U.S. and Mexican authorities are cooperating in the investigation, Vasys said.

"We are aggressively pursuing every lead," he said.

Ivory Coast risks return to civil war, UN warns

2010-12-23T01:30:00.000+08:00

Ban Ki-moon says UN will not tolerate any attempt to 'starve peacekeepers into submission'

by David Smith in Johannesburg and Associated Press

The head of the UN warned today that Ivory Coast faces a "real risk" of return to civil war after post-election violence.

Ban Ki-moon, the UN's secretary general, said it would not tolerate any attempt by president Laurent Gbagbo to starve out its peacekeepers.

Gbagbo's refusal to surrender power after the disputed presidential election has triggered unrest in Ivory Coast, where north and south fought a civil war in 2002-03. A French government spokesman, François Baroin, today urged French nationals to leave temporarily. At least 15,000 live in Ivory Coast, which maintains close ties to the former colonial power.

The UN and other world leaders recognise Alassane Ouattara, a northern Muslim, as the winner of last month's election.

Gbagbo, a southern Christian, has forces surrounding the Golf hotel in Abidjan, where his rival has set up headquarters, protected by the UN. The UN has expressed concern that people inside are not getting medication, and that delivery of food and water has also been impeded.

Obama signs historic bill ending 'don't ask, don't tell'

2010-12-23T01:26:00.000+08:00

President Obama signed historic legislation repealing the "don't ask, don't tell" policy that compelled gay and lesbian servicemembers to hide their sexual orientation.

At a ceremony at the Interior Department, Obama thanked "all the patriots ... who were forced to hang up their uniforms" because of the policy, which dates to early in the Clinton administration.

Obama said all the service chiefs are committed to "implementing this change swiftly." He said that one day, people will look back and wonder "why it was ever a source of controversy in the first place."

Obama said he hopes all those who left the service because of the policy will seek to re-enlist. And he encouraged all gays to consider service.

"Your country needs you, your country wants you, we will be honored to welcome you into the ranks," he said.

Assange hits out at reports detailing sex assault claims

2010-12-23T01:14:00.000+08:00

The WikiLeaks founder gives his first full interviews, and lashes out at "leaks" detailing sex assault claims

By News Desk

Julian Assange has lashed out at The Guardian newspaper for "selectively publishing" details of the police report in which two women accuse the WikiLeaks founder of rape.

In an interview with the British newspaper The Times, published Tuesday, Assange also said he believed that someone leaked the Swedish police report detailing his alleged sexual offenses, and timed it to coincide with his bail application.

Assange spent nine days in jail in London on an extradition request by Sweden. He was released on bail with strict conditions and is staying at a mansion in Norfolk outside of London.

The Guardian is one of several publications that has partnered with WikiLeaks in editing and publishing secret U.S. diplomatic files, in exchange for early access to them.
