Two sisters go to a funeral for a family member. Just after the service, one of the sisters meets a man and practically falls in love with him at first sight. They talk for awhile until the man excuses himself to go to the restroom. He doesn’t come back; the woman looks all over for him but can’t find him. After giving up, the woman walks outside to the parking lot and meets her sister. She tells her sister about the man she met and how upset she was that she didn’t get his phone number. Five minutes later, the woman kills her sister in the parking lot.
The question is, what did the sister say to the woman that made her murder her? Make your guess and read the answer below.
If you think the sister said something along the lines of, “I already got his phone number and we’re going out tonight”, you’re probably “normal”. The reason for this is that we tend to project our own motives onto other people. We think, “what would it take for me to do something like that?” or “I would have to be in a complete rage to do something so terrible!” I think anyone is capable of committing almost any crime under the right set of circumstances but most people would agree that it would have to be an extreme situation with a great deal of emotion involved to commit murder.
If you guessed that the sister said, “maybe you’ll meet him again at the next funeral”, you probably have some psychopathic tendencies. The reason for this is that psychopaths operate on a different level from the rest of us. They see the problem: “I want to meet someone whom I met at a family funeral; how can I arrange that?” and come up with a solution: “kill a family member!” Naturally, this thought doesn’t even occur to most people. How far are you willing to go to get what you want?
Psychopaths are only about 4% of the population but they comprise roughly 40% of convicts.
Did anybody give the second answer?

Updated:15:28, Friday November 23, 2007Shock rock singer Marilyn Manson has been accused of squandering his band’s profit on a child’s skeleton and masks made of human skin.
Manson ridicules claimsKeyboardist Stephen “Pogo” Bier filed a breach of contract lawsuit in August in which he accused Manson of taking cash belonging to the rest of the band to pay for the “sick and disturbing” purchases.His lawyer Keith Fink has now filed additional papers adding to a list of artefacts bought by the goth singer- many of which are illegal in the US.
As well as the skeleton and masks, Manson is said to have bought a range of stuffed animals, including a grizzly bear and two baboons.
He is also accused of using band funds to pay for a collection of Nazi memorabilia.
Swastika wall tiles with matching custom rugs and Nazi government coat hangers owned by Adolf Hitler are allegedly on display in Manson’s Californian mansion, according to legal papers.When interviewed on MTV after Bier filed the original lawsuit, Manson said: “The fact that he’s claiming that I’ve treated him unfairly, financially, is really ridiculous.”
“And I would never spend my money on a Chinese girl skeleton. That would be crossing the line. It’s a Chinese boy, for the record.”
Bier is seeking damages and lawyers fees from millionaire Manson as well as his slice of the successful band’s profit.
Most people thought it was bad enough when he was a priest in the Church of Satan; how much worse is it that he’s now competing with Michael Jackson for weirdest lifeform closely resembling a human?
Does anybody want to speculate on what exactly you may choose to hang on Hitler’s coat hangers?
Full disclosure: I used to be a fan of his. At first it was painful watching him become more and more irrelevant. Nowadays I just scratch my head and wonder.
]]>NOVEMBER 6--An al-Qaeda operative serving life in prison for his role in the bombing of American embassies in Africa contends that his rights are being violated by U.S. jailers who have denied him access to Arabic publications and religious books, limited his mail privileges, and no longer allow him to use a Walkman. Mohamed Al-Owhali, 32, claims that his incarceration at the “supermax” federal prison in Florence, Colorado has left him so severely depressed that he stopped eating for months, forcing Bureau of Prisons officials to feed him via a tube placed through his nose. In a new U.S. District Court lawsuit, Al-Owhali wants a judge to order prison brass to provide him with expedited mail services, expanded phone privileges, and access to radio and TV news broadcasts and English and Arabic newspapers and magazines. Currently, Al-Owhali claims, he is only provided with month-old copies of USA Today, “with several pages-sections removed.” The convicted terrorist is held in virtual isolation in a special security unit at Florence, per Department of Justice guidelines known as Special Administrative Measures. Attached to Al-Owhali’s handwritten October 19 lawsuit is a copy of an internal BoP complaint form filed by the inmate (a copy of which you’ll find below) and a BoP memo to Al-Owhali detailing the SAM measures governing his incarceration. The Osama bin Laden disciple and three codefendants were convicted in 2001 for their roles in simultaneous car bomb attacks at U.S. embassies in Nairobi and Tanzania. Those blasts killed a total of 224 people and injured thousands of other victims.
During an interview with Al-Owhali, he commented on his suit:
“The Zionist Crusaders have forbidden me from downloading Radiohead’s new album. In the name of the Prophet, I will not only recover my Walkman, but they will give me an IPod!”
]]>According to Wikipedia:
Jenkem or jekem is an inhaled gas which can result in dissociation and hallucinations. It is made from fermented sewage. According to Fountain of Hope, a non-profit organization, Jenkem is used by street children in Lusaka, Zambia as a substitute for ordinary inhalants such as glue or petrol. According to anecdotal sources and still unconfirmed media reports, Jenkem is as of November 2007 in the process if attaining a foothold among US teenagers
I can quite tolerant on the issue of drugs but if I learned that one of my kids was deliberately huffing raw sewage, I’d ship ‘em to North Korea. From what I’ve heard, marijuana and other drugs are readily and cheaply available. Why sniff poo?

I’m going to go down the list:
Bill Clinton- Yeah, I’ll give them that. This guy is the reason why the eligible minimum age for presidents should be 75. Go away!
Al Gore- No argument here. At least he got rid of the damn beard.
Mark Penn and Hillary Clinton- The advisor is more influential than the candidate herself? That’s weird.
Nancy Pelosi- This one is sort of hard to tell. Sure she’s the first female Speaker but she’s also one of the most ineffectual Speakers ever. It will be fun watching Cindy Sheehan outflank her on the Left.
Barack Obama- Yeah, yeah. Of course, he’s never actually DONE anything besides give a speech at the DNC convention. This man is the very personification of style over substance.
Michael Moore- Should be further down the list. Maybe between 15 and 20. This burger boy hit his high water mark with the much debunked Farenheit 9/11. It was a hit piece on Bush that was intended to unseat him in 2004 and failed miserably. Who really cares about “Sicko”?
Arnold Schwarzenegger- What? Wait, WHAT?
Oprah Winfrey- I can see that, sure.
Evan Bayh- I don’t know much about him.
Arnold Schwarzenegger- What? Really? You can’t be serious. The man’s sole liberal credential is his wife. Whoever came up with this list probably had to go out for a sack of burgers at White Castle after writing it, if you know what I mean. If the liberals actually had to claim one of our elected officials for their top ten, you should realize how much trouble they are really in. I mean, we gave them that Jim Webb; wasn’t that good enough?
Alright, here’s my list of the ten most influential liberals, according to me:
1. Satan (it’s a given)
2. Bill Clinton (why can’t you just go play golf for the rest of your life and leave us alone?)
3. George Soros (the man owns the Democrat Party, seriously)
4. Markos Zuniga (you know all the crazy shit you hear Harry Reid say on the Senate floor? He read it on DailyKos)
5. Arthur “Pinch” Sulzberger (the New York Times keeps circling the drain but his paper still sets the tone for the rest of the media)
6. Jon Stewart (yes, he’s a comedian but 18-34 year olds consider him to be their most trusted news source)
7. Alan Colmes (I was just bullshittin’! And you know this!)
7. Al Gore (I want him to run for president only so I can see him slay the Hildebeast; the problem is that he’d probably beat any Republican in the general election)
8. Noam Chomsky (has influenced more college students than you really want to think about)
9. Jesse Jackson (has singlehandedly set race relations back more than Ron Paul’s supporters at Stormfront could ever dream)
10. Henry Waxman (will probably guarantee that the words “Bush” and “scandal” remain in the headlines for the remainder of his term; on a list of the ugliest liberals, he would be #1).
Another criticism I have with the liberal list is the inclusion of Colin Powell (#23) and General Abizaid (#58). I’ve criticized Powell in the past but I don’t see why opposition to the Iraq War on its own makes you a “liberal”. If it does, why are Ron Paul, Brent Scowcroft, and Andrew Sullivan on the list of influential conservatives? Andrew Sullivan especially is a hell of a lot more “liberal” than I would expect Abizaid to be.
Anybody want to improve upon my list?

Rush Limbaugh #5? Behind Newt Gingrich? The man hasn’t served in office in years and hasn’t really done much but write alternate history novels. Don’t get me wrong, I like the guy but come on! Influential? No. Don’t even get me started on Matt Drudge being ahead of him.
Rudy Giuliani as #1? Once again, I like the guy, but no damn way is he #1.
Mitt Romney? I think not.
And how does General Petraus qualify as an “influential conservative?” I hope Telegraph isn’t trying to say that the war is being politicized by conservatives.
My list would probably look like this for the top ten:
1. Rush Limbaugh (duh)
2. Bill O’Reilly (you can argue over whether or not he’s a “conservative”; I say so)
3. Glenn Beck (I do agree with the Telegraph that he’ll probably succeed Rush and he’s the only good thing on CNN’s Headline News)
4. Wayne LaPierre (There is no denying the power of the NRA-this is why gun control is no longer an issue in the national debate)
5. George Will (Only because he’s “mainstream”, in a lot of newspapers, and thus widely read)
6. Ann Coulter (However you feel about Ann, her books are huge sellers and she does a great job of getting her arguments out in the public debate)
7. George W Bush (Eh, he’s the president)
8. Michelle Malkin (Representing the blogosphere)
9. John Boehner (Doing a great job foiling Pelosi)
10. Roger Ailes (Thank God for Fox News!)

]]>(CBS) 60 Minutes has identified the man whose fabricated story of Iraqi biological weapons drove the U.S. argument for invading Iraq. It has also obtained video of “Curve Ball,” as he was known in intelligence circles, and discovered he was not only a liar, but also a thief and a poor student instead of the chemical engineering whiz he claimed to be.
60 Minutes correspondent Bob Simon’s two-year investigation will be broadcast this Sunday, Nov. 4, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
Curve Ball is an Iraqi defector named Rafid Ahmed Alwan, who arrived at a German refugee center in 1999. To bolster his asylum case and increase his importance, he told officials he was a star chemical engineer who had been in charge of a facility at Djerf al Nadaf that was making mobile biological weapons.
He eventually wound up in the care of German intelligence officials to whom he continued to spin his tale of biological weapons. His plan succeeded partially because he had worked briefly at the plant outside Baghdad and his descriptions of it were mostly accurate. He embellished his account by saying 12 workers had been killed by biological agents in an accident at the plant.
More than a hundred summaries of his debriefings were sent to the CIA, which then became a pillar - along with the now-disproved Iraqi quest for uranium for nuclear weapons - for the U.S. decision to bomb and then invade Iraq. The CIA-director George Tenet gave Alwan’s information to Secretary of State Colin Powell to use at the U.N. in his speech justifying military action against Iraq.
Tenet gave the information to Powell despite a letter - a copy of which 60 Minutes obtained - addressed to him by the head of German intelligence stating that Alwan appeared to be believable, but there was no evidence to verify his story.
Through a spokesman, Tenet denies ever seeing the letter. “[Tenet] needs to talk to his special assistants if he didn’t see it,” says Tyler Drumheller, a former CIA senior official. “I am sure they showed it to him and I am sure ... it wasn’t what they wanted to see,” he tells Simon.
Other CIA officials doubted Curve Ball’s authenticity, including former Central Group Chief Margaret Henoch, who speaks publicly for the first time, telling Simon she openly refuted Alwan’s story. “And it was like ‘Whack a Mole.’ He just popped right back up. It was unbelievable.”
Alwan was caught when CIA interrogators were finally allowed to question him and confronted him with evidence that his story could not be as he described it. Weapons inspectors had examined the plant at Djerf al Nadaf before the fall of Baghdad and found no evidence of biological agents.
In the end, however, Alwan got what he wanted. He is believed to be in Germany, free and probably living under an assumed name.
That’s odd; I thought that we only got bad intelligence from “torture”. Maybe we should ban the granting of asylum.
]]>In January, 1-year-old Joey Cosmillo wandered into the backyard and fell into the family pool. When his mother hauled him out, he wasn’t breathing. Rescuers were able to bring him back to life, but he suffered severe brain damage and cannot walk, talk or even swallow.
Now, his family faces another burden: One of the rescuers, Casselberry police Sgt. Andrea Eichhorn, is suing, alleging the family left a puddle of water on the floor that afternoon, causing her to slip and fall.
The boy’s grandparents, named in the suit, are mystified and angry.
“The loss we’ve suffered, and she’s seeking money?” said Richard Cosmillo, 69, the boy’s grandfather. “Of course there’s going to be water in the house. He was sopping wet when we brought him in.”
Eichhorn last week sued Richard Cosmillo; his wife, Maggie Cosmillo; and the boy’s mother, Angela Cosmillo, accusing them of negligence. They were careless, according to the suit, and allowed the home they shared to become unsafe.
As a consequence, Eichhorn broke her knee, something that kept her off the job for two months, according to police Chief John Pavlis.
Joey now lives in a nursing home five miles away, where he gets 24-hour care. He breathes through one tube. He’s fed through another.
“He doesn’t have any abilities—any,” his grandmother said. “He can’t sit. He can’t swallow. He can’t eat. We’re not even sure he can see.”
She and Richard Cosmillo are the boy’s legal guardians. For the first two months after the accident, she remained at his bedside, never once going home.
She has now gone back to work at a furniture store, and her husband keeps watch on the boy. He visits every day.
“This thing,” Maggie Cosmillo said, “has destroyed our lives forever.”
The baby’s mother was the only one home Jan. 9, when the boy slipped out of the house and wound up in the pool, according to a police report.
She plunged in and dragged him out, carrying him inside, down a hallway and into a bedroom. She also called 911.
Eichhorn arrived a few minutes later. As she stepped into the room where rescuers were working on the boy, she slipped and went down on one knee, then stood back up, according to Richard Cosmillo.
Later that day, she went to an emergency care center and eventually to an orthopedist, according to her attorney, David Heil.
While she was on medical leave, Pavlis said, the city’s insurer paid her medical bills and provided disability checks.
Eichhorn, a 12-year department veteran, would not discuss the suit. Her attorney said those benefits, paid by the city’s workers’ compensation carrier, were not enough. The suit seeks an unspecified amount of money.
Eichhorn, he said, is a victim. Her knee aches, and she will likely develop arthritis.
If the Cosmillos had made their pool baby-proof, police would not have been called to the scene, there would have been no water on the floor, and Eichhorn would not have hurt herself, he said.
“It’s a situation where the Cosmillos have caused these problems, brought them on themselves, then tried to play the victim,” he said.
The department’s personnel file on Eichhorn, who earns $48,000 a year, is filled with letters of praise. She has worked as a prostitution decoy and a hostage negotiator, and once wrestled a box of razor blades away from a person threatening suicide.
“She is the best sergeant within the police department and should become the next lieutenant,” her supervisor wrote in a job review in 2003.
“Sgt. Eichhorn is a good officer,” Pavlis said Tuesday.
He urged her not to file the lawsuit, he said, but there was nothing he could do.
The Cosmillos have not given the suit much attention, they say.
Richard Cosmillo is busy looking after Joey, whose name he had tattooed over his heart a few days after the accident, when doctors told the family the boy would survive only a few hours.
But Joey, now almost 23 months old, has survived. He can smile, and he appears to recognize music, his grandparents say. His grandfather hopes for much more.
“Joey is a Roman gladiator. He is an absolute warrior,” Richard Cosmillo said. “There isn’t anything or anyone in this world that I love as much as him.”
Doesn’t her job cover these injuries already? I’m about as pro-law enforcement as you can be but this bitch needs to spend the rest of her career cleaning the shit out of toilets in the jail. Talk about gauche.
