    The WTF? Thread

    The most depressing thing about the North Carolina story about banning solar panels is that a "science teacher" is among the principal opponents.

      The WTF? Thread

      Ms Mann said she had seen areas near solar panels where plants are brown and dead because they did not get enough sunlight.
      Nothing to do with the scorching heat of a rainless NC summer then?

        I don't think we've done this one yet.

        A Saudi millionaire has been cleared of raping a teenager after claiming he might have accidentally penetrated the 18-year-old when he tripped and fell on her.
        Are Saudi multi-millionaires simply immune to prosecution in Dave and Gideon's England?

          Clearly not. He was charged and tried in court, from where he was acquitted by a jury.

          Do better.

            Gideon and Ed Vaizey get credit in Star Wars VII?

              Presumably it got some tax break.

                Due to changes in tax law, rather than a break per se

                      The WTF? Thread

                      A few years ago there was a children's programme called The Slammer. The premise of this was that light entertainment had been declared illegal, and so all variety acts were locked up in prison. Each week on the programme there would be a "freedom show" in which a number of the inmates would compete to win their freedom.

                      In Georgia they are doing this in real life.

                                  Or San Francisco, for that matter.

                                  San Francisco deputies organized ruthless “gladiator-style” matches between jail inmates and at least one trained his coerced fighter while threatening to rape him, a public defender said Thursday.

                                    I must admit it was an impressive mistake on my part, given that the minister in question, is the most caucasian looking Caucasian in the history of caucasians. (does anyone else giggle and think of Georgi Kinkladze when Cop shows talk about Male Caucasians?)



                                    But then again that wouldn't necessarily be a shock in the US.

                                      WTF? indeed. If (as a spokesman claimed) he wasn't acting inappropriately at any point, then what's the problem?

                                        The inseam on the small would be too short for me. The waist might be a bit big and all.

                                        Since the jeans I brought with me from back home are only going to last one or two more years and I can't get ones that fit me anywhere down here, I'm getting especially sensitive to these things at present. And that's if I completely ignore the fact that it is literally impossible to buy bootcut jeans in Argentina.

                                        Anyway, as you were.

                                                  A dozen masked St Etienne ultras barged into the wedding reception of an alleged O. Lyon fan in a local chateau shortly before the guests were to come in, fired green smoke bombs and ransacked everything with baseball bats and metal bars. It turns out they had the wrong wedding party.
