A 50-year-old Saudi woman asked for divorce after her husband lifted her face veil while she was sleeping, local press reported.

For 30 years, the wife said she never showed her face to her husband in conformity with the tradition of her native village near the south western Saudi city of Khamis Mushayt.

"After all these years, he tries to commit such a big mistake," the wife told Saudi newspaper Al-Riyadh, after she left the house in total disbelief.

She said the husband apologized and promised never to do it again.

This is not the first case of husbands who have not seen their wives' faces in decades.

Dude. I mean, Duuuuuudddee!

My impromptu taste test in Leicester Square is now attracting the attention of puzzled passersby giving us weird looks.

Ms. Woodward's verdict is that the Oreo is "too ... damp."

I tell her that, according to the ads, it should be "dunked" before eaten.

"In tea?" she asks. (Dipping biscuits – we Brits call all cookies "biscuits' – in a steaming hot cup of tea is an almost sacred ritual here.)

"No, in milk," I reply.

"Milk?! A biscuit dipped in milk? Who does that?"

"Apparently Americans do," I explain.

"Well, let them," she say dismissively. "I won't be doing it anytime soon." And with that, she disappears into a throng of pedestrians, nonplussed by what has been labeled here as "America's Favorite Cookie."

And yet the Brits will still eat Spotted Dick.

Five men arrested for wounding with intent on suspicion of stabbing a rival Russian fan have been released - and it appears the knifeman has escaped.

Sixteen men are currently being held for public order offences, four for assault and four for violent disorder and affray. There were further arrests for throwing missiles, possessing an offensive weapon and criminal damage.

Some may appear in court this afternoon, after they have sobered up this morning.

Police chiefs said they were left "sickened and disappointed" with the behaviour of some fans.

Across the city centre this morning streets were strewn with rubbish, cans of beer and broken glass after an estimated 100,000 Rangers fans descended on Manchester for the big game.

An army of council workers will begin moving the mountains of rubbish but the Rangers' fans own reputation - and that of the city's for hosting events - may take longer to clean up.

Assistant Chief Constable Justine Curran of Greater Manchester Police said: "A minority of thugs have overshadowed what should have been a great occasion."

She added: "I've watched them commit damage, assault my officers and I'm really sickened and disappointed."

In Corea, it is quite different.

The Corean police were the descendant of pro-japanese who persecuted the good people to serve Japanese. That is to say, they are like the some french people who helped the Germans in World War II.

In Corea, the pro-japs became the leaders and high social class members after the World War II. Can you believe that?

And because the police were made to protect and to serve the Japanese in Korea at the times of colony, they are very good at that - serving and protecting the power and the rich. And they are also very good at persecuting the people and the needed.

In Canada, I found that many people respect the police (officers) but in Corea, most of them hates and despise them. They say that the police are disgusting. Why is that? Because the police have made themselves disgusting since the time of colony.

But in the times of President DJ Kim and President MH Rho, they kept the police persecuting the people and they ordered them to serve the people.

Now, MB Lee became the president who was born at Japan, he again let the police their original job.

With the issue of beef importation from US, many people made several peaceful demonstration with candle light. Many young students attended there. And MB Lee, being the president of a country, commanded the police to arrest the young students and punish them.

So the policemen went to the school and took the student from the classroom.

The f**king Corean Police will serve and protect only the power and the rich forever, and they will persecute the people - the powerless and the needed. Because they were made for that. Damn!

She says, "I wanna look up and say, `Oh, I like myself. I don't like my lines... I'm gonna do the boobs; I'm gonna lift them and be a bit more discreet and then I will do Playboy. Twenty years ago, I did the cover of Playboy... I wanna do Playboy December this year. I'm gonna be 45."

During a campaign stop in Sterling Heights, Michigan, a reporter, Peggy Agar tried to ask Obama a question, he told her to "Hold on Sweetie." If Barack is trying to be smooth, this isn't it. I haven't heard anything like this since a drunk Mel Gibson called a female police officer "Sugar Titties." Well, at least it wasn't Helen Johnson he was calling Sweetie. He did call and apologize via voicemail: "Second apology is for using the word 'sweetie.' That's a bad habit of mine. I do it sometimes with all kinds of people. I mean no disrespect and I am duly chastened on that front. Feel free to call me back. I expect that my press team will be happy to try to make it up to you whenever we are in Detroit next." He still never answered her intitial question which was "How are you going to help the American autoworker?" Barack has continously proven how unsmooth he is. Shooting pool in West Virginia in a shirt and tie, not smooth. Bowling in Pennsylvania, this wouldn't have even gotten him one of those cheezy bleached blonde bowling alley babes, not smooth. Once again Obama is proving his inexperience as a politician. Is this an example of his future diplomacy?  When he meets a female diplomat, is he going to call them "Honey" or "Darlin'?"  Just what we need is more blundering in the White House after the last eight years from someone else who doesn't have a clue about how to do the job. Not Smooth!

LET'S GO TO THE VIDEO TAPE! OBAMA IN STERLING HEIGHTS:

 
 

DOLLY PARTON TAKES ON HOWARD STERN

Dolly Parton is going to sue Howard Stern for well, being Howard. He took some clips from her audio book and cut them up so that they say some absolutely digusting statements. The cutting was pretty poor and you can easily tell that the clipping is a hack job. "I have never been so shocked, hurt and humiliated in all my life," Parton said in a statement on Wednesday. "I cannot believe what Howard Stern has done to me. In a blue million years, I would never have such vulgar things come out of my mouth. They have done editing or some sort of trickery to make this horrible, horrible thing. Please accept my apology for them and certainly know I had nothing to do with this." She concluded: "If there was ever going to be a lawsuit, it's going to be over this. Just wanted you to know that I am completely devastated by this." This is a bit that Howard has done on his satellite radio show and she's not the first to get the treatment. I think she should leave it go, because she's just giving Howard more publicity. He'll make more this way than the suit will be worth. The best thing to do with Howard is ignore him.

 TEXAS MAN SHOOTS HIMSELF SCRATCHING HIS BACK

Jorge Espinal had an itch he had to scratch. He left the table where he had been drinking and playing poker with his buddies. Yes alcohol was involved here. Go figure. Something possessed him, I'm guessing stupidity, to use a revolver as a back scratcher. It was loaded, like he was and he shot himself in the back. He was taken to a Fort Worth hospital and treated for non-life threatening injuries. Can he prosecute himself for assault? His friends though he was joking until they saw the blood. I guess they couldn't believe he was that stupid either. 

WORLD'S SMALLEST HELICOPTER HONORS DAVINCI

Seventy-five-year-old Gennai Yanagisawa says he will fly his one-man helicopter in the city of Vinci, near Florence, Italy, on May 25. Yanagisawa describes the demonstration as a tribute to the Renaissance-era visionary's original idea of an "aerial screw." It looks like something you'd expect from a James Bond film. "Italian people seem to welcome my realizing of DaVinci's idea in his birthplace," he said. "I want to make my best flight so that I can live up to their expectations." Vinci Mayor Dario Parrini offered him an opportunity to fly his helicopter when the two met in the Italian city. I think old Leonardo would have loved this and would have wanted to go for a ride. I can just see him buzzing around giggling his butt off, that hair and beard blowing behind him.

the problem with my new "diet" (three weeks tomorrow -- yea!) is that i'm always, always hungry. Usually, pre-fast, gorging on a chikin sandwich and milkshake would fill me up for most the day. Now, i'm eating trail mix by the gallon, drooling over thoughts of Mexican food and wasting loads of money on snack foods for my desk (the rationale being that i won't pop over to chik fil a or taco bell if i have enough food at my desk). even as i'm writing this, my eyes are wandering over to the box of triscuits. i'm. not. even. HUNGRY.

someone help me. how do i curb these cravings?

oh, yeah. and gym at least once a week? fail. how can i gym it when i'm bogged down by all this excess salty snack weight?

Florida is one of about 20 states with no specific law prohibiting such acts. Outlawing bestiality, legislators say, would make it easier for law enforcement officials and prosecutors to clamp down on sexual abuse of animals. Since 2001, there have been at least a dozen documented cases in Florida.

This spring, state Sen. Nan Rich, D-Weston, filed legislation aimed at preventing anyone from knowingly committing bestiality, knowingly causing or aiding another person to have sex with an animal, or knowingly permitting sex with an animal. Rich filed the legislation, in part, because she has seen academic evidence that there is a direct correlation between animal abuse and child abuse. The legislation passed one legislative committee.

Rich said the struggle for passage of the legislation centers on the taboo subject and graphic nature of the acts.

"I think people are just uncomfortable with the subject matter," she said Wednesday. "It's just unfortunate that there's just not more ways to prosecute these atrocious acts, because there is so much evidence that they are an indicator of other sexual deviant crimes."

A woman has been awarded £5,000 compensation after her sexist boss constantly broke wind in her direction.

Humiliated Theresa Bailey, 43, who was the only woman on her sales team at direct marketing firm Selectabase.

The mother-of-three complained to senior management about the "laddish" behaviour of men in the office, including line manager David Nye, who regularly "lifted his right cheek" in her direction and broke wind and that this happened throughout her stint.

Mrs Bailey even had a beach ball thrown at her head when she complained about sexist banter - which had included colleagues leering at female passers-by and joking that women couldn't park cars.

An Iraqi captain was killed and seven other soldiers were injured in the explosion which took place in the town of Youssifiyah, south of Baghdad.

The explosives were detonated as the girl approached the Iraqi commander.

A curfew has now been imposed in the area, and American troops are said to be hunting for those responsible.

Iraqi soldiers inspect the site of a separate car bomb attack that targeted Abdul Karim al-Samarai, a member of Sunni Islamic political party in Baghdad's Yarmouk district today

"I can confirm that a female suicide bomber attacked an Iraqi Army position," said a U.S Army spokesman.

Involving women in fighting violates religious taboos in Iraq, but extremists are recruiting females and youths to stage suicide attacks in a desperate attempt to beat tightened security measures.

Women can avoid thorough searches at checkpoints because of Islamic sensitivities, and four have carried out suicide bombings since November.

In February, Iraqi insurgents used two women with Downs Syndrome as human bombs in a blast that killed 99 people in Baghdad.

The women apparently fooled into wearing explosive vests which were then detonated remotely by mobile phones as they mingled with crowds.

It is unclear whether this latest blast used the same method for detonating the bomb.

The victim of the attack was found by a neighbour, who alerted the police. He was initially taken to Sunderby hospital but was later transferred by helicopter to Norrland University Hospital in Umeå where his situation remained critical on Wednesday morning.

For twenty years a feud has divided the neighbouring families of the victim and his attacker.

"The one problem Dad found was Buckley's unique taste. Dad described it as 'brisk', but to be real honest, it tastes real bad."

"It tastes awful. And it works."

A quick glance over the ingredient section will give you a vague idea of what to expect: ammonium carbonate, camphor, menthol, pine needle oil... A vague idea, because you won't actually know until you fucking smell that shit. But in order to experience it to the fullest, you have to taste it. You have to taste it, swallow it, puke it up a little in your mouth, and swallow it back down.

Like I did when I took it.

My cough was unbearable. It was a dry, painful, brain-shaking cough; I had no other option. So I took it. And I regretted it.

I can tell you exactly what it tastes like: Vicks Vaporub and ammonia. But hey, at least it's not gooey!

I dug deeper into our cabinets and found an unopened bottle of cough syrup that had been prescribed to my mom two years ago--and it hadn't expired. So I started using it, and I finished it within the week. My voice has gone and come back, but my cough lives on. And I need a remedy. And I'm not about to go out and buy a bottle of yummy cough syrup because I have two perfectly unexpired bottles at my service. Disgusting, but unexpired.

And so I will suck it up and take it like the man that I'm not. That's right; tonight, I am taking another dose of Buckley's.

And I'm gonna regret it.
