Sleeping on the street and enjoying a panini in the open by one of Rome's many monuments has been banned by new mayor Gianni Alemanno.

The Italian capital has become the latest city - following on from Venice, Florence and Verona - to bring in public behaviour laws in a bid to keep streets tidy.

Under the new city council ordinances sleeping outdoors, bivouacking in a public space and eating and drinking, as well as singing have all been banned.

However accordion and violin players who serenade diners at Rome's many open air restaurants are exempt - providing they have a licence - while anyone who breaches the new laws will be hit with a fine of up to 300 euro (£240) fine.

McConaughey to plant son's placenta in orchard
Aug. 8, 2008, 8:21 PM EST
Matthew McConaughey says the birth of his son will help bring a little joy to others in the world someday. The actor kept the placenta from the July birth of his son and plans to plant it in an orchard, he tells CNN's "House Call with Dr. Sanjay Gupta" in interview scheduled to air in two parts Aug. 9 and Aug 16.

McConaughey says he hopes it will fertilize the land, a ritual long followed in several cultures.

"It's going to be in the orchards and it's going to bear some wonderful fruit," he says, according to an interview transcript. "When I was in Australia, they had a placenta tree that was on the river ... and all the placentas of all that tribe, all that clan, whatever aboriginal tribe that was, all the placentas went under that one tree and it was this huge behemoth of just health and strength.

"This tree was just growing taller and stronger above the rest of Mother Nature around it. It was gorgeous."

What I don't get is that the ugly one doesn't even look that bad, lol. But it doesn't surprise me at all that China tried to pull something like this.

I think it's really sad though; that poor little girl.

Sweet Tigger · 08-12-2008, 01:20 PM

I think they don't even know what is cute, and what not.
They have absolutely, no sence of anything when it comes to that sort
of thing.
If only I was there, I would step right in there, and that little girl wouldn't
be going through this.
Damn China, doesn't seem to know a single thing. XD

A Burger King employee decided to celebrate his birthday by taking a bath in the sink. Gross. O.o Source: http://chattahbox.com/health/2008/08...-bath-in-sink/

Washington (ChattahBox) - A Burger King employee decided to take it upon himself to have some fun on his birthday, as he decided to take a bath in the sink at the fast-food restaurant.

Usually, when you think of employees and the sink at a restaurant, you think of them washing their hands and being very clean. This teenage employee though at an Ohio Burger King wanted more than his hands clean, as he deicded to take a soap-filled bath in the sink. The Burger King is located in Xenia, Ohio, as the teen had the whole bath captured on video. He has been referred to as “Mr. Unstable” when he took the bath, stating “It’s my birthday and I’m taking a bath in the sink at Burger King. Somebody bring me a beer!”

The video runs for four-minutes and was posted online on Thursday, showing the guy taking a full-out bath in the sink. The sink is used in the kitchen to wash equipment, which is reportedly used for cooking. While he was taking the bath, other workers either looked at him, or continued working. The video, which was posted on the social networking site MySpace, has garnered a great deal of attention.

Since then, Burger King has stated that all of the employees who were involved with the video have been fired. The fear is that this act could have caused the spread of germs, viruses, etc. There have yet to be any illnesses reported though.

Blender Magazine asked the presidential candidates to list the top ten songs that pump them up... you won't believe how GAY McCain's top ten was.

1. Dancing Queen - ABBA
2. Blue Bayou Roy - Orbison
3. Take a Chance On Me - ABBA
4. If We Make It Through December - Merle Haggard
5. As Time Goes By - Dooley Wilson
6. Good Vibrations - The Beach Boys
7. What A Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong
8. I've Got You Under My Skin - Frank Sinatra
9. Sweet Caroline - Neil Diamond
10. Smoke Gets In Your Eyes - The Platters

Who KNEW a Republican could have such fruity taste in music?! (Obama's are less funny and more typical, so you can click the link if you want, but really the juice is in McCain's beats.)
