Hey those arab dudes are way ahead......they can divorce by text message!

A husband in Dubai has had his text message divorce validated by a court - but he's changed his mind.
The husband sent the mobile message: "Why are you late? You are divorced." The court said the couple were officially divorced as a result.
The husband changed his mind hours after the sending the message and the couple, who have a baby daughter, are back together.
It is the first mobile phone divorce in Dubai.
Gulf News says four conditions must be met to make an electronically-communicated divorce valid.
These are that the husband should be the sender, that he really wants a divorce, that the phrase he uses is unambiguous and that the wife should receive it.
In this case, all the conditions were met.
The same rights are not available to women.

ROTFLMAO ISP you are priceless.

All I've got to say is, why can't it be that easy to get out of here in the US???

In all seriousness, I thought in order to get a divorce in an Arab country, all the man had to do was say "I divorce you" three times.

This slacker only said it once, was he trying to save on characters?

Check out this story!

Scientists in Australia have proved farting spreads germs by asking a boy to break wind on a laboratory dish.
Bacteria were found growing all over the plate the morning after the experiment.
The team are now looking for sponsorship from a baked bean manufacturer or curry maker to continue their research.
Dr Karl Kruszelnicki said: "Tests involve breaking wind on to lab plates from varying distances after having specific foods and drinks."
The journal New Scientist welcomed the research which it said could help shed light on a little-known issue of public health.

hmmmmm

Tests involve breaking wind on to lab plates...

Care would be needed not to 'follow through', I think.....

ISP,

Please don't let my buddy Uncle B know about these Austrailian experiments.

Then again, he may very well enjoy the humor of such. 'Farting on plates' opens the door, to so much potential humor. To funny.

My reaction to flatulence, now and forever more, has been altered.

Every time it 'comes up'....the source, including myself...is now object for scrutiny. Or should I say, fear....stay or flee? Flight sounds like the best course of action.

Where's the malox?

I think Fred Hall should apply for the experiment,
He is always full of hot air among other things.

What colour is your bikini? Same question to the ladies!

A bikini reveals a woman's personality, according to a new study.
Researchers at Berlin's Humboldt University say colour, style and pattern all give off subliminal signals.
They say women who wear blue tend to be wallflowers, but those who wear dark blue could be depressive.
Red bikinis signal women who like a challenge, pink wearers like to enjoy themselves and green bikinis indicate women with natural charm.
The researchers say bikinis which tie up at the sides are worn by women who are "ready for anything, but not with anyone".
Women who wear black bikinis don't necessarily need a hunk to make them happy and are happier with a quick-witted partner, reports the Sunday Express.
White signals women are the most innocent and probably single and are not necessarily looking for a good time.
The survey also offers some very useful tips for men: "Cartoon characters or logos on bikinis are a good way to start a conversation.
''Any girl in a Mickey Mouse bikini is likely to be a real kid at heart and good for a laugh."

Sheesh........the oldest profession gets regulated.........

Prostitutes in Holland are complaining about new government rules, which include washing their underwear in boiling water.
They have also been told to soak vibrators for 10 minutes in an alcohol solution and shower separately from their customers.
The women complain the new rules will ruin their slinky underwear, destroy rubber sex toys and spoil the erotic atmosphere.
Brothels and prostitution were made legal in Holland last autumn. Since then, officials have been trying to clean-up the sex business.
Brothel owners complain they have been forced into debt after being ordered to undertake expensive renovations to their premises, including new fire exits and air conditioning systems.
Prostitutes have also complained that some of the regulations are dangerous, such as the rule that all beds must have cushions.
For years brothels had no cushions because of fear that clients might try to suffocate prostitutes.

Another dodgy burger.............

A US schoolboy claims he bit into a McDonalds cheeseburger to find it riddled with maggots.
Vincent Ingram, aged 11, from Detroit, Michigan, is suing the burger chain for $1 million after he allegedly swallowed the maggots.
McDonalds say the allegation is "questionable", adding they've not been given any evidence to support the claim.
Vincent's lawyer, Arnold Reed, said: "His sister is standing next to him and starts freaking out, because she sees these things crawling around his mouth and out of his mouth. She starts screaming. Since this incident, he's been freaking out. He won't eat."
Mr Reed said his client swallowed at least six maggots and said Vincent's mum had saved the cheeseburger and his vomit as evidence.
The lawsuit states the burger was eaten shortly after it was bought, but does not indicate the amount of time.

Only £100 fine?

A Spanish teenager has been fined £100 after he farted at police officers when they asked to see his ID.
The 16-year-old was standing with a group of friends in Bilbao when he apparently turned his back and broke wind.
They fined him on the spot. His mother admits the boy passed wind but said that he didn't deliberately aim it at police.
She told El Correo newspaper: "The fart was not directed to the officers as he did not even see them. In fact, he was just talking to his friends."
