Not My Joke

Wow, you steal so many jokes that you even have an acronym for it?

Daily Mail saying something gives you cancer? no way!

Good point, but I heard this story first on radio4, which is somewhat less alarmist in its approach. They unpacked the statistic, taking into account other causes of death, and suggested that if personA ate a quarter pounder burger more every day, compared to personB, then personA would, on average, lose half an hour of life every day.

No I do it so rarely I feel the need to point it out.

GFY

How's that acronym working for you?

So if I cut out red meat from my diet, stop smoking, stop drinking and get plenty of exercise, I will live forever and ever?

No, considering your popularity around here, I'm sure someone will put a contract out on you soon.

You're right Nogget, I am quite popular and with my hilarious comedy writing, an offer of a contract is bound to come in soon.

The resulting rich living could cause me to have a very unfortunate but extremely happy early demise. I'll have to think about my lifestyle when I become incredibly successful.

Rolling eyes

The case of a 16-year-old girl who killed herself after she was forced to marry her rapist has spurred outrage among Morocco's internet activists and calls for changes to the country's laws.

An online petition, a Facebook page and countless tweets expressed horror over the suicide of Amina Filali, who swallowed rat poison on Saturday to protest her marriage to the man who raped her a year earlier.

Article 475 of the Moroccan penal code allows for the "kidnapper" of a minor to marry his victim to escape prosecution, and it has been used to justify a traditional practice of making a rapist marry his victim to preserve the honor of the woman's family.

Reading that article has had a very profound impact on me. I realise that I am an evil vegetarian! I actually chuckled twice whilst reading the story *buries head in hands to hide his shame*

:(

Today as I drove past the gas station and observed another ten-cent price increase at the pumps I wondered how much longer it would be before President Obama released the strategic reserve to bolster his chance of being reelected ... I mean bolster the economy. A few minutes ago I read this:
