That’s Funny Stuff, Kids
Teenagers’ prank launches homicide investigation Police are constantly coming up with charges nobody has ever heard of to nail people for all kinds of reasons, but now, when they really should be nailing these little shits to the wall, they aren’t going to?

Lesbians Are Still Lesbians
Well, in the case of who gets to use the term lesbian, an island in Greece or gay women, well, the gay women win. Phew. Another sane ruling.
What’s In A Name? Child Abuse, Apparently
Uh, um, I can understand why a judge might be a little weirded out by a kid being named Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii, but what will give the kid more of a handicap: having that name, or being yanked from her parents because of it and no other reason? Wow, it looks like …

More Snakes!
What is making all the snakes escape? Now one got loose in Montreal! I know it was smaller, but it would still be freaky.
