If you want to read about the Russian protests against Putin, head over to slate.com.

Take this info with a grain of salt, because the data is based on self reports. And we all know how men are when it comes to talking about how big their dongs are. A 5 turns into a 10 and a 2 turns into a 5.

To be honest, I’m actually more inclined to think this is a map of Europe’s biggest liars.

PS: if you’re American, don’t despair. The measurements are in centimeters, not inches. We’re not donkeys over here.

Herman Cain, US businessman and up until Saturday, presidential candidate for the GOP, has admitted to quoting Pokémon during some his speeches.

I believe these words came from the Pokémon movie. I’m not sure who the original author is, so don’t go write an article about the poet, but it says a lot about where I am– where I am with my wife and my family, and where we are as a nation.

 

Life can be a challenge. Life can seem impossible. It’s never easy when there’s so much on the line. But you and I can make a difference. There’s a mission just for you and me. (Pokemon 2000)

Cain is also suspected to have drawn inspiration from computer game SimCity with his proposed 9-9-9 tax plan, which is exactly the same tax plan that SimCity starts off with.

If you’re tempted to use this crap, don’t. Just communicate like adult people instead. If that’s not possible, you’re in a dead relationship and should just pack up and leave.

German law should apply to everyone on German soil, including the Pope, which is why a German citizen from Dortmund filed a complaint against Pope Benedict XVI when he saw that he wasn’t wearing his seat belt during a Popemobile parade.

The plaintiff, whose name was not disclosed, named Baden-Württemberg Minister-President Winfried Kretxchmann and Archbishop Rober Zolltisch as witnesses in the case and asked that they provide testimonies.

 

“Seatbelts save lives and the Pope should obey the traffic rules,” the plaintiff said, adding that a driver was killed in a traffic accident shortly after the Pope’s visit for failing to wear a seatbelt.

It would appear the plaintiff didn’t know that God offers more protection than a seat belt. /sarcasm
