Well, Hamas has now joined the ranks of Michael Vick, Paris Hilton, Brittney Spears, Maria Bartiromo, Jenna Bush, Mitt Romney, Colonel Sanders and a host of others on Peta's hate list. It doesn't seem to bother Peta that the Hamas children's program that they find objectionable is normally geared toward terrorism. Personally, I think I would rather have kids taught (badly) not to abuse animals than to have them taught how to be a suicide bomber...
No word yet on how Peta feels about Pepper the sheep. It really could go either way: Normally, Peta doesn't like the idea of 'pets,' preferring the term 'animal companion.' At the same time, there are no reports (at least not yet) that Pepper is being treated inhumanely, Peta might not really care.
Here's one for the stupid criminal books: here. How dumb is that? Maybe not dumb at all--they are having him psychologically evaluated. Maybe he's crazy. That would certainly explain it.
How often are you thankful for an ATM that doesn't work? Notice I did not say ATM Machine, those are all property of the department of redundancy department.
If you are not familiar with WikiPedia, that is the encyclopedia that anyone can edit. In some ways this is a good thing, in that it is generally more up-to-date, but also it's a bad thing, since it is more subject to pranks and hoaxes than other encyclopedias. Someone has come up with a tool that allows anyone to see who has been editing WikiPedia. It will nail down the IP address of the computer from which the edit was made, and, if possible, list the owner of the computer. This can be somewhat amusing, as in, seeing what edits were made to Rush Limbaugh's profile from computer(s) owned by the Democratic Party, George W. Bush's profile from a BBC computer, post-Saddam Iraq article by a computer owned by the Republican party, or the Church of Scientology article by a computer owned by the Church of Scientology...
By the way, if you ever feel that WikiPedia has incorrect information about you or your organization, the right way to correct that (without looking suspicious) is here.
