More Things to Worry About on Monday
Women (all the women) in two neighboring villages in Papua New Guinea made a pact 10 yrs ago to end the constant fighting between the villages' warriors, in the only way they knew how: post-natal abortion of all boys (no warriors, no war). Daily Mail (London)
Latest on super-advanced Japanese toilet technology: scanner to detect the gender of the person approaching the throne (and thus to automatically raise, or lower, the seat); measure your body-fat ratio while you're on the pot (Bonus: Story has narrative on how cleaning commodes is respectful work in Japan). BBC News
Sounds Like a Joke: An appeals court in France refused to block the sale of a voodoo doll (with pins) in the likeness of President Sarkozy, but it did order the seller to attach a notice to the product warning the apparently intellectually-overrated French that the doll "constitutes an attack on the personal dignity of Mr. Sarkozy."

Post-natal abortion - Um, this may be a dumb question, but how do the tribes in question continue to exist if there are no males to procreate?
Voodoo doll - Do the posters with George W looking like a monkey have a similar warning?

So, let me get this straight...I could totally man-whore in parts of Papua New Guinea. But what about Old Guinea?
Wipe my Arse and I'll be impressed.

post-natal abortion - I don't think this plan was thought through entirely. Although the fighting will stop...when both tribes die out.
Japanese toilet technology Does it also determine what needs to be done. Sometimes men have to sit you know.
