The Official Nonsense Thread

[Minty]

Today's the first day in ages I wasn't wearing shorts with the weather being a bit cooler, & my jeans scraped my legs to bits. Safe to say I overdid it in the sun & am now paying the price.

That's bizarre that more of Usain Bolt's competitors have all tested positive for drugs while he remains clean. Not a very good advert for taking steroids to enhance performance: "here, inject this & you'll STILL get creamed on the track by the Boltmeister!"

The Trayvon Martin business in the US is pretty screwed up. Maybe I'm getting this one all wrong, but guy leaps out of his car & shoots some unarmed kid dead for the crime in his eyes of being black in his neighboorhood during the hours of darkness, seems to me the correct thing to do is lock up the closet KKK case that did it & lose the key. But he didn't even get convicted for manslaughter! Um, hello USA, WTF?!?!?!

That said, from what I've read, it looks like the prosecution lawyers employed were the biggest dunderheads in the whole state of Florida & presented a case that only a jury that had been sniffing paint would have accepted. Makes you wonder if they blew it on purpose.
