More Things to Worry About on Thursday

Perhaps (right now, the FAA is investigating) an air traffic control supervisor sent an airliner into a dangerous thunderstorm for the sole purpose of giving a new controller some experience. FirstCoastNews.com (Jacksonville)

The "messiah" (Wayne Bent, Clayton, N.M.) goes to trial next month for trying to heal young girls (the law calls it "molesting"). Wayne has warned that prosecution of him will bring God's wrath upon New Mexico. (Bonus: He starts a total fast Oct. 31, so God may get him before the state) KOB-TV (Albuquerque)

Nadim Khoury, 49, of the West Bank, has a better plan for prosperity than Hamas or the Israeli gov't: beer! He's set up a microbrewery in Taybeh, and most Muslims don't seem to mind. Agence France-Presse via Yahoo

A guy who was formerly Mr. Gay UK, now a chef, is on trial in Leeds for murdering a hookup, and of course, cooking him. He said it was self-defense, not murder, but he did admit to lightly frying and sampling a piece of the dead guy's leg. "At some point Damian's body had just become something I would deal with at work—a piece of meat. [T]hat was my daily task, preparing meat." The Sun

Some college alumni will get excited about anything with their school's name on it, including colognes. Masik Collegiate Fragrances ($60 a bottle) features eight party schools right now (and they're real fragrances, not "stale beer"). News & Observer (Raleigh)

That Michigan high school nude cell-phone photo thing is about to pop. A girl (age 14), just goofing around, sent a picture of her way-private part to a couple of friends, and it's viral (the photo, not the private part), with authorities threatening to bust all the recipients for possession of child porn (200 or more, even the ones who got them unsolicited) and her for making it. Daily Press & Argus (Howell, Mich.)

The "messiah" - Gives a whole new meaning to "laying on of hands" and "speaking in tongues".

Mr. Gay UK, now a chef - OK, maybe it was self defense. Ok, there are starving kids in Ethiopia, you can't let all that meat go to waste. Yikes!

Hmmm...I'm a chef, too, although as a pastry chef I don't handle meat in my daily business (no jokes, thank you). I'll have to find a way to work human meat into my pastries. It'll be like Sweeney Todd! Meat pie, anyone?

"I killed, cooked, and ate part of him in self-defense, your honour" never seems to get you very far, does it? People are just so jaded these days.

#2 I think New Mexico should spend a few million on a stick a plunger to force feed suicidal inmates that have chosen to go on a starvation diet.

#3 Athens, Greece is one of the hot spots for vacationers from the sandy countries and none of them seem to mind booze or nudity one bit!

#4 And what's wrong with a bit of honestly come by long pig?

#6 REF my bitchin' about those over zealous inclusions to sex offenders list. This is just one more example.

Messiah Ok, having been born in New Mexico, I can honestly say that I think God has already brought His wrath...

Mr. Gay UK Maybe he was looking to write a book? I doubt there are many cannibalistic cookbooks offering ideas on how to "lightly fry" your friend.

Cell Phone Photo Yet another reason kids don't need cellphones.

Expat (re NM) -- why forcefeed them? Then you have to pay to continue feeding them. Just give them a Darwin Award and move on.

Expat47 - if they want to save the state the couple bucks a day on food and die in the process that's fine by me!

Y'all'r missin' the point! California is talking about spending $50M for a net under their bridge. I just thought that N.M. would want to keep up!
