WAY OFF TOPIC
I'm a frequent to Reuters' section of stories called "Oddly Enough." It never disappoints.
Two of today's headlines:
"Eat More Dogs, Cambodians Urged"
--This one...this just perpetuates the Asians-and-dog-eating myth, except in this case, IT'S FACT. I can't believe this is fact. Not all Asians eat dog meat, kids.
and...
"Lawyer to Sue Jews for Biblical 'Plunder'"
--This is just so inane and nuts. Based on some Biblical verses of when Moses commanded the Israelites to "[ask] the Egyptians for jewelry of silver and gold, and for clothing," some Egyptian lawyers are considering that as stealing and want to sue the Jews over this.
