Today, for a brief second, I thought of a life without Roger. It was much like my current life, except that this forum was a bit nicer.

Biology Teacher Faces Investigation for Use Of Word 'Vagina' in Anatomy Lesson

QuoteA Dietrich science teacher is being investigated by the state's professional standards commission after a complaint from parents over his teaching methods.

Parents were offended that he explained the biology of an orgasm and included the word "vagina" during his lesson on the human reproductive system in a tenth-grade biology course...
Sounds about right.
I remember in biology our teacher had to just say Female (or Male, depending) Reproductive Organ. The only time vagina (or penis) could be said was in health class when we had that week separating the boys and the girls. Because it would be so very wrong if the genders learned about each other :roll:
:ninja:

QuoteA self-styled Italian lawyer has been found guilty of tricking people into thinking he was a bona fide legal professional.

Giovanni di Stefano was convicted on 25 charges including deception, fraud and money laundering between 2001 and 2011.

The 57-year-old is known as the "devil's advocate" for representing high-profile criminals.

The ex-Dundee football director has worked with train robber Ronnie Biggs and Saddam Hussein's legal team.

His clients have also included serial killer Dr Harold Shipman and Serbian leader and war criminal Slobodan Milosevic.

He helped make legal history as part of the team which overturned the manslaughter conviction of tycoon Nicholas van Hoogstraten.

Di Stefano did not react as the 25 guilty verdicts were delivered at London's Southwark Crown Court.

Appears to be mainly guilty of doing an OK job, embarrassing the Italian legal system.

Money Laundering is good to note, given that little client list it's feasible he's got some good dirt on unusual folk.

Ah shit, more footage escapes from Burma.

This looks pretty routine for the regime though. Seem to recall something about UK ok'ing arms sales there again recently.

Incidentally related, UK now #6 in worldwide arms sales. China now #5.

Also incidentally related, good background on UK arms trade, Second episode has some stunning moments from the Burmese reps sent to talk to him. Somewhat dated, but within the past decade.

We use that shit all the time.  For "concealment".  I shit you not, that's the rationalization.
