Fine Dining on the Isle of Formosa

TAIPEI (Reuters) - It may take a strong stomach to eat curry or chocolate ice cream out of a toilet bowl, but a commode-themed restaurant in Taiwan does booming business serving up just that.

The Martun, or toilet in Chinese, restaurant in the southern port city of Kaohsiung boasts lengthy queues on weekends as diners wait for a toilet seat in its brightly colored tile interior.

Food arrives in bowls shaped like Western-style toilets or Asian-style "squat pots."

Talking Out of Turn

A former Bush team member during his first administration is now voicing serious doubts about the collapse of the World Trade Center on 9-11. Former chief economist for the Department of Labor during President George W. Bush's first term Morgan Reynolds comments that the official story about the collapse of the WTC is "bogus" and that it is more likely that a controlled demolition destroyed the Twin Towers and adjacent Building No. 7.

Yes, it was a controlled demolition and all the Jews in both towers were absent from work that day but ironically it wasn't because of an impending attack. It's a little known fact that September 11th is the Jewish High Holy Day of Tail Grooming and Christian Bloodletting.

I miss the good ole days when this kind of tinfoil-hat nonsense was confined to the backwaters of the bulletin board scene and the Art Bell show.

Qapla'!

Teens Pulled Over For Good Driving

OLDSMAR, Fla. - Beginning this fall Pinellas County Sheriff's Deputies will be pulling over teen drivers who haven't broken any traffic laws.

As part of a new program, deputies will be pulling over teens for safe driving and rewarding them with free movie theater and movie rental certificates.

Uniformed deputies driving unmarked cars will follow the drivers and give out the certificates.

"Deputies will follow them for a short distance, down a thoroughfare and we will watch their driving," said Sgt. Glenn Luben, Pinellas County Sheriff's Office. "Once we identify a good safe driver, we attempt to follow them to their house or open shopping area."

Google Stock Watch

Google ended today at $286.31 a share and is now worth just under $80 Billion. I wouldn't presume to call myself anything more than an amateur (if even that) when it comes to the stock market but I'd be surprised if the stock goes much higher than this before dropping some of it's value. If I owned Google stock, I'd have abandoned ship long ago.
