Weird stuff all around.
Since we all know about the CofE bishop saying it's fine to kill disabled kids if you think they'll cost too much -- in line with the good old American practice of defining "mother's health" to include financial health in order to rationalize 3rd-trimester abortions -- I won't post about that. Instead, the Chronicle's Weird News section!
So, New Zealand kids can use text message shorthand in exams, eh? I hope they've trained teachers to understand what all the abbreviations mean, and have given them ESP to help them recognize which of many meanings for an abbreviation is meant in each circumstance... my cousin IMs with that, and I can't make out what she's saying most of the time.
In an article about a baby hatch where unwanted babies can be dropped off, you read:
"By installing the hatch, we want to rescue both parents and babies," said a hospital official. "Maybe there are some people who are suspicious about it, but we should not pretend not to see them and let them die. Babies are innocent."
Good counterpart to the news that babies under 25 weeks gestation are refused medical treatment in Holland -- there, apparently, they do pretend not to see them and let them die.
And news from China: Mao condoms, not cool, Yao sanitary pads, maybe cool.
That's all from this weird world -- have a nice day!
EuroMillions is a lottery game played weekly on Friday by millions of players from across Europe. The game has participants from nine countries, including Austria, Belgium, France, Ireland, Luxembourg, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, and the UK. The prize pool is put together from stakes generated from each of the nine countries, and the main jackpot prize starts at 15 Million E
uros. If the jackpot is not won during a specific week, the prize pool is 'carried over' to the following week. The record for a single winner is 115 Million Euros, and the highest jackpot ever was 183 Million Euros. These huge jackpots have turned the EuroMillions Lottery into one of the most lucrative and exciting lotteries in the world.

Our experience in providing insurance for people aged 50 and over shows us that our customers look after their property and possessions, and are less likely to make a claim than homeowners aged under 50. We aim to reflect this with high levels of cover often at low prices.

At this, the hottest girls that are bad with finances have to resort to peddling their asses for cash! Whether they made a bad bet, or went on a big shopping spree they couldn't pay off, they had to borrow money to get out from under, and then the loan shark makes them give up the booty to pay the bills. They fuck the guys he brings to them for money, and he collects the cash to pay off their debts, and they can't stop fucking and sucking until he says they are even!
