Heaven.  I’m in heaven.

Rod Serling, you and I are a couple in the Twilight Zone.  I’m sure of it.

Someone asked me what I thought were the most famous episodes.  I think, for most famous or well-known episodes, I’d have to say:

  • To Serve Man
  • Eye Of The Beholder
  • I Sing The Body Electric
  • Nightmare at 20,000 Feet
  • Time Enough At Last

As regards to personal favorites, it’s most defintely (and in order):

  • I Sing the Body Electric
  • Eye Of The Beholder
  • Number 12 Looks LIke you
  • To Serve Man
  • Five Characters In Search Of An Exit

Honorable mentions to:

  • The After Hours
  • Kick The Can
  • Time Enough at Last
  • It’s A Good Life

Mind you: there’s not a bad episode in the lot.  Those are merely my *PERSONAL* choices and beliefs.

Workers’ long-term insurance tucked into bills

Supposedly, employees would be enrolled automatically (kind of like short-term insurance) unless they opt out during insurance enrollment, whether it’s done once or annually.

Having had to use both short-term and long-term insurance due to injury, I have to say that it’s a not a bad idea.

Pakistan court orders men’s ears, noses hacked off

So yeah, these two guys (brothers) along with three other men wait in hiding for the woman (whom one brother asked for her hand in marraige and was refused) and attack her, strangle her with a wire and cut off her nose and ears when they thought she was dead “to set an example”. 

A pakistan courts upholds the “eye for an eye” justice.  Two of the men not only will have their noses and ears cut off, but they will both serve life sentences in prison.  The article does not mention what, if anything, the other three men will face.

Yes, a doctor has to agree that they could survive the sentence.  Yes, the high court has to uphold the first courts’ judgement.  And yes, the high court has not upheld such similar sentences previously.  Still…

RAWRRRR!

Woman’s Loud Sex Breaks Court Order

/giggle

/cough

So…yeah…umm.. Oh yeah, the highlights of the story?

The BBC reported that the city council recorded noise levels of up to 47 decibels coming from the Cartwright’s residence. World Health Organization guidelines state that 30 decibels is enough to cause sleep disturbance.

And of course, the doctor’s advise?

On the topic of sex noise etiquette, Dr. Trina Read writes on Hitched.com that there is no tactful way to ask couples to keep it down. If you are disturbed by another couples’ lovemaking Dr. Read suggests to “roll up a wad of toilet paper and stick it in your ears. Or, even better, start having loud sex to drown out their noise.”

OK – so…I love some of the old Christmas cartoon shows.  A few years ago, my family bought me a number of the old cartoon classics.  I recently popped in Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town and as I watched, it occurred to me…

Warning: Danger, young padawan.  Danger.  Spoilers.  Bizarro humor.  Take the jump at your own request.

Oh, and I do not own or imply ownership for any copywritten material, including but not limited to quotes, images, lyrics or character names regarding various Christmas stories or shows.

MySpace Labels Innocent Woman as Sex Offender – Updated

Not everyone removed from MySpace is/was a sex offender.  This woman’s date of birth was two years and two days different from the actual sex offender with the same name.  Even the photos and states are different from each other.  However, it would appear as if the general belief is to accuse and remove first, then figure out if they were right *IF* the person involved takes a stand.

Hrmm.
