Harry Potter and Star Wars: Some themes just keep returning.
Keith Henson Back in Jail – Space Elevator Will Have To Wait: "On April 26, 2001, Keith Henson was convicted of interfering with a religion — a misdemeanor under California law — for picketing outside Scientology’s heavily armed, razor wire-enforced base, outside Hemet California. He split for Canada, becoming the world’s first 'Scientology fugitive,' and he’s back in the U.S. dealing with a variety of court cases related to Scientology." I didn't know you could go to jail for picketing a church (thanks, Kutulu).
Coffins From Ghana: "For the Ga tribe in coastal Ghana, funerals are a time of mourning, but also of celebration. The Ga people believe that when their loved ones die, they move on into another life -- and the Ga make sure they do so in style. They honor their dead with brightly colored coffins that celebrate the way they lived."
World's highest swing: I'm not particularly afraid of heights, but the thought of riding on a 1,100' swing makes my sphincter clench (thanks, Benoit).
Cop Avoids Charges For Making Pot Brownies: Cop busts dude for pot possession, then uses the pot for his own consumption. Cop gets off scot-free. Cop totally harshed first dude's buzz (thanks,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
