WTF? Olympic Edition

From The Guardian:

"For more than a year, officials in Beijing have been designing a special laboratory to determine the sex of any athletes taking part in this year's Olympic games. "Suspected athletes will be evaluated from their external appearances by experts and undergo blood tests to examine their sex hormones, genes and chromosomes for sex determination," says Professor Tian Qinjie."

Apparently, there's a long history of Pat-type athletes competing in the Olympic Games. I remember a couple movies making fun of the East German team - even as recently as Dodgeball, we see a "woman" with a uni-brow and noticibly male features such as facial hair. Never did I think that it was a reoccuring problem.

And what kind of "special laboratory" do you need to determine if a dude is tucking? It's not rocket surgery, people.

Need a Cure for that Jungle Fever?

Well, my friend, look no further than AfroRomance. That's right - the Internet dating scene has become so saturated with eHarmony / match.com clones, that a niche market has emerged for people looking for "interracial dating only" (it says that on the homepage).

Not wanting to exclude any other varieties of "fever", AfroRomance allows the discriminating interracial dater to specify which type of fever currently afflicts him or her. Like any other dating site, one must enter his or her sexual preference and age range, but then you get to the fun part.

Here are the choices:

Black / White - Jungle Fever

Asian - Yellow Fever

Latino - Ummm....what do you call this? Urban Dictionary was of no help, so I welcome comments from the D&F Faithful.

The jury is still out on whether or not this is a sign of the Apocalypse. Regardless, meeting your significant other through this site would make for a great "how mommy met daddy" story.

Bulldozer Attack?

From Reuters.com:

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - A Palestinian rammed a bulldozer into an Israeli commuter bus, cars and pedestrians on one of Jerusalem's busiest streets on Wednesday, killing at least three people and wounding dozens, emergency services said.

First off, the perpetual violence in the Middle East is one of man kind's worst failures. People have been fighting over various parts of this world for over 2,000 years. And to be perfectly honest - there's nothing special about it. It's a friggin' desert. Sure, there's billions of dollars in oil under the sand, but once that is gone, what's the attraction? Nothing.

Having said that, the best a Palestinian could come up with is a bulldozer attack? This sounds like a truth or dare contest turned bad. That, or this particular Palestinian didn't have the cojones to strap on a suicide bomb and fulfill Allah's will like a real man. No 72 virgins for this guy. He can expect a fat post-op tranny that smells like BO and bacon upon his entry into whatever Allah calls heaven.

And what's up with the bus driver not getting out of the way? It's not like bulldozers are high-speed vehicles or even turn quickly. Again, it's tragic, but being sick and twisted, I couldn't help thinking of this classic scene from Austin Powers:

WTF?

In honor of the state of North Carolina offering a recall on license plates that begin with the letters "WTF", I bring you this lovely story from the Fatherland:

From Reuters.com:

BERLIN (Reuters) A woman trying to make "manure bombs" using stockings, slipped into a slurry tank and fled the scene naked, German police said Friday.

The story doesn't go into why the woman and her accomplice were attempting to make manure bombs, but the popular theory is that it had something to do with Germany winning a soccer game.

As for fleeing the scene naked - well, what's more embarrassing - being drenched in cow manure or being naked? It's a tough choice.

Have a great weekend. We'll see you on Monday.

WTF?

From WBZTV.com:

GLOUCESTER (WBZ) ― There's a stunning twist to the sudden rise in teen pregnancies at Gloucester High School. 17 students there are expecting and, according to a published report, most of them became that way on purpose. Time Magazine is reporting that nearly half of the girls confessed to making a pact to get pregnant and raise their babies together. None of the girls is older than 16.
