LOL. It's not even me being a grinch or a dick, it's just that the thread exists for a reason, so it should be used when the situations call for it to be used.

You can't look at those animals and not believe in evolution. Seriously.

Re: The 10 most disturbing animals on Earth.

This really doesn't deserve a new thread, and I mostly want to post it just because I'm surprised this is the top headline on AOL (even over Travolta's son dying):

Uhh... discuss.

Woman sues for 10M for being denied subway rides with dog

A woman who claims her 120-pound dog is protection from childhood memories of sex abuse is in a big-bucks battle with NYC Transit over whether the animal can ride the rails.

Estelle Stamm, 65, won $10,000 from the city after two cops gave her a ticket for bringing the pony-sized dog into a subway station.

Now she's going for $10 million in a federal suit that argues Wargas, her service dog, is protected under the Americans With Disabilities Act.

"These sons of bi*ches don't like to be told what to do," Stamm told the Daily News as she waited for a federal judge to decide whether the suit should be tossed.

"I don't have a choice. I need my dog. And they [NYC Transit] don't have a choice, either. They have to follow the law."

Transit lawyers have recently taken the position that Stamm - who has been diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder and has partial hearing loss - is not really disabled.

Their legal papers draw on 8,000 pages of Stamm's Internet postings, in which she suggests Wargas' breed - livestock guardian dog - is dangerous.

"Livestock guard dogs in the subways is a wonderful sight to behold. The seas of people part before us," the former ad agency manager boasted in a 1998 posting.

In other postings, Stamm discussed dog-on-dog attacks involving her previous service dog, Mishka, a Caucasian Ovcharka that died of cancer last month.

She described livestock dogs as genetically wired with "tremendous killing power" and said Mishka could be aggressive toward elderly cancer patients because "she can smell death, and she doesn't want it near her."

Stamm, who lives near Union Square, sued the city in federal court in 2007 and got a $10,000 settlement in July. Her suit against NYC Transit has been kicking around since 2004.

It contends her civil rights were violated by transit workers who tried to toss her and the dogs from public transportation.

In 2000, a bus driver shut down on First Ave. and told the other passengers they had Stamm to thank for the delay, she alleges.

The announcement prompted an irate passenger to bark at her, "If I'm late for work, I'll find you and kill your ... ***!" The driver was later disciplined.

Stamm said her stress disorder causes extreme fear of danger, severe depression and confusion. The dog keeps her "in the present," warns her of sirens and horns, and provides a large, furry barrier in crowded places, she said.

She carries an ID card for the dog issued by NYC Transit and is required only to inform employees what kind of service he provides.

Being questioned about her disability - which she says is prohibited by transit regulations - has triggered stress reactions, her complaint says.

In addition to money damages, Stamm is seeking employee retraining.

"This is an easy fix, so their hostility mystifies me," Stamm said. "Wargas is not in the slightest bit dangerous. This is such B.S. It's meant to intimidate me."

NYC Transit's position is that Stamm's suit has no merit because she has been inconvenienced only a handful of times and was never denied access to a bus or subway.

Teen trained to be suicide bomber feels tricked

Shakirullah, 14, is convicted of planning to carry out a suicide bombing in Afghanistan.

KABUL, Afghanistan (CNN) -- A 14-year-old who was trained to kill by radicals in the tribal regions of Pakistan now sits in a crowded classroom at a detention facility in Kabul. His only wish is to see his parents again.

"I miss my parents, my mom and dad," Shakirullah says in soft tones. Like others in tribal regions, he goes by one name.

Shakirullah is already a convicted terrorist for planning to carry out a suicide bombing. He says Muslim radicals lied and tricked him into becoming a would-be bomber. "I have been detained for trying to commit a suicide attack," he says.

He says his recruiters told him it was his mission as a Muslim to kill British and American soldiers because they were killing Muslims.

They told him that once he blew himself up he wouldn't die because God would save him for being a true Muslim.

Asked what he now thinks of Americans and Westerners, Shakirullah is calm, but quick in his response.

"I don't know. God knows what type of people they are, whether they are good or bad. I don't know them," he says.

Shakirullah now passes his hours in a cell block at a juvenile detention facility in Kabul. He is serving at least five years in detention. He is to be transferred to an adult prison in a couple of years, authorities say.

He hasn't heard from his family in the North-West Frontier Province of Pakistan. He tried to send them a letter through the International Committee of the Red Cross but is not sure it reached them.

"I don't know what they are thinking. They have no news of me," he says.

On this day, Shakirullah attends a rehabilitation class, easily lost in the crowd of boys with shaved heads. All of the children are convicted for various crimes, including theft, fighting and even murder.

Three boys like Shakirullah are here, all guilty of planning to kill themselves and others after being recruited by terrorist groups.

I pose this question...

Gremlins...

So you can't feed the wogwai after midnight, right?

or else they turn into gremlins.

what if i bought my mogwai in new york and moved to california?
then would i not be allowed to feed him after midnight pacific time or eastern time?

that's a big time difference. does his not be a gremlin clock switch time zones, or does it stay fixed to its timezone of origin?

****, weren't gremlins from China?

I guess that's why that big country only has one time zone.
To keep the monster gremlin population under control.

I'll bet the Chinese Bob Barker says "don't feed your mogwai after midnight" at the end of every episode of The Yuan is Right.

Got this from another board, but for some reason it cracked me up.

I dunno too much!
