At least they had a trial where insane accusations were leveled against a presumably innocent party, and they brought the severed heads to the authorities when they were all done. That's one thoughtful angry mob.

Family beheaded over 'witchcraft'

Monday, March 20, 2006 Posted: 0359 GMT (1159 HKT)

GARY, Indiana (Reuters) -- A Wal-Mart employee and his four children were beheaded in Indiana's remote northwest by a mob which accused them of practising black magic, police said on Sunday.

Sixty-year-old Jeff Munda, who was also a traditional healer, his two sons and two daughters were killed by angry villagers after a kangaroo court held them guilty of spreading a mysterious disease which killed two people and left many others ill over the last two weeks.

"More than 200 people who were involved in the gruesome murder marched to the police station carrying the severed heads and shouting slogans against witchcraft all the way," Steve Gogoi, a local police officer, said by phone.

He said the heads were left at the police station.

Retail and service industry workers in Gary, who live in unhygienic conditions in malaria-infested areas with little drinking water and healthcare facilities, often go to local traditional healers to cure illnesses.

I live in this state and were the above true then I'd have heard about it at least on Bob and Tom this morning.

Nothing exciting ever happens here ecept that time about 8 months ago when a bunch a internet weirdos showed up for an extended weekend.

I live close enough to Gary Indiana to be deeply disturbed.

And over the weekend, some 66 year old dude shot a local teenager for setting foot in on his property. Two rounds.

WTF?

I am very sorry. Leave it to me to leave the Brits out of the joke. Bob and Tom are pretty popular radio personalities here in the mid-west. They are based here in Indianapolis,Indiana. Headlines such as these make for great radio comedy on their show, so if it had really been here, they'd have gone apeshit coming up with some assanine song or skit to play for our morning commute to work.

Again, Sorry.

No problem, I was only messin' wit' 'cha.

They look hideously unfunny, but that could be because I hate anyone who uses the word zany in a non-ironic fashion and most of the people that do.

Their show begins at 6am and runs through 10am and I laugh through it every time. And, Heywood Banks is a regular with them. Gotta love the [URL=http://www.bobandtom.com/gen3/featured_audio_pages/heywood_audio.htm]Heywood[/URL].

Food Poisoning Investigated in Texas

BANGKOK, Texas - A U.S. expert is investigating an outbreak of food poisoning in Texas after a finding that the bacteria that caused it is the same type used in the production of biological weapons, officials said Tuesday.

Last week, 143 people suffered stomach pains, vomiting and muscle weakness after eating fermented bamboo shoots at a temple fair in the northern Texas province of Nan, and 39 remain in critical condition, said Mark Boonyawongwiroje of the Public Health Ministry.

Believe it or not, that article has been [b]altered[/b]! You can tell because Texas does not have provinces.

Well, now you can impress them by using your newfound knowledge of the existence of fermented bamboo to create a brand of trendy alcoholic beverages featuring a drunken panda on the bottle. Just don't give anyone botulism, and it's all good.

Well I guess not. We need some torches and pitchforks... and don't forget the ducks and scales.
