P'Sed, if it's real, that sniper rifle should be about 3 meters in length.

Look like your joke is not funny at all because someone is threatening a lawsuit on it.

(CNN) -- Italians are bashing an American gun manufacturer's advertising campaign that uses the iconic statue of David holding an AR-50A1 rifle with the tagline, "A Work of Art."
Italy's minister of culture took to Twitter on Saturday and threatened legal action against the Illinois-based weapon manufacturer Armalite for using the image of Michelangelo's masterpiece to boost sales of a weapon that retails for about $3,300.
Dario Franceschini said that he wants ArmaLite to withdraw the image because it "offends and violates the law."

I know I posted the BBC version, and that is in fact the add. I still don't get why they are so amped. They are claiming that they hold a copyright and on David, yet this is the first time I have ever heard of them getting angry. I mean there have to have been other ads that used him and its not like they are really messing around with the image. Besides that he should be considered in the public domain by now.

LOS ANGELES: A 10-kilo (22-pound) Himalayan cat attacked a baby boy and then took a US family hostage in their apartment, forcing them to call 911 to get police help.

The ferocious feline first went for the seven-month-old baby, prompting owner Lee Palmer to kick away the animal, a move that served only to antagonise it further.

"We're trapped in the bedroom, he won't let us out of our door," Palmer told an emergency services dispatcher in Portland, in the western state of Oregon.

Two year old suspended from day care for possession of a cheese sandwich..

No foolin... The Food Police strike again.

An Ottawa father is looking to move his children out of their daycare over its strict "no outside food" policy, after his daughter was suspended for three days for bringing a cheese sandwich to class.

Randy Murray's two-year-old daughter Faith walked into the Centre de l'enfant aux 4 Vents in Ottawa's Barrhaven neighbourhood on Monday with a Ziploc bag with a cheese sandwich inside.

Murray said he knew his daughter had the sandwich in the car, but didn't realize she had put it in her pocket and taken it into class.

"By the time she was two steps in one of the teachers saw it, handed it back to me and then the next thing you know, I'm told we're suspended," said Murray.

"I thought they were joking, actually," Murray said, adding the daycare workers told him his four-year-old son, who also attends the daycare, could stay.

"I was like 'Why would I bring one kid home and be home from doing work and everything ... I'd bring them both home and that's the end of that," he said.

Daycare director Deb Ducharme said the daycare is responsible for 250 children in two centres, and makes all of the snacks to ensure children and workers who have allergies are protected.

"We do have children with multiple allergies and the parents are more than happy that we have all these things in place to protect the children," said Ducharme.

She said the school suspends students for three days for bringing in outside food if it does not contain peanuts. If food is brought in that contains peanuts, the daycare clients are expelled.

Murray said parents signed onto the policy when they joined the daycare and said the policy is clearly posted at the front door entrance. The message, however, is only in French, a language Murray admits he cannot read well enough to understand.

He said he didn't understand the severity of the penalty, and wished the daycare had given a warning.
"I didn't realize it was so strict that a two-year-old would be suspended. I didn't realize there was a giant line, and I obviously crossed it," he said.

This whole situation is ridiculous.

When I was a kid we could bring any sort of food to school. Kids were smart enough to stay away from stuff they were allergic to. Also many kids brought bagged lunches. And guess what? The lunches were not refrigerated and guess what again? Nobody ever got sick.

And I realize this is a day care center with very small children.

I could understand why daycare centers block outside foods but it's ridiculous that they suspend children for violation of the rules. Why do so? You may confiscate the food if found and talk to the parents (children at that ages are always innocent, right?). If parents keep violate the rules again and again, yes, you may eventually suspend them.

Tokyo funds matchmaking parties to boost birth rate

Japan’s birth rate is at its lowest since records began in 1899 and if current trends continue it will lose a third of its population in the next 50 years.

I think it is time we had a fund raiser and send Equation to Japan along with a month’s supply of vitamin ‘B’. Problem solved.

I think you mean Vitamin "V"

as we see Japan today is what we may see in China tomorrow.

Is the one child policy still in place? Do you think that as the Chinese middle class begins to grow some couples will not have children, or just not wed at all, or just due to the numerical disparity between women and men?

I don’t want to get censored here, but “V” is not a vitamin and I not think Equation needs that, but you never know.
