No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. -John Donne

It all started with an observation. And that observation was, "Damn, most of the pasties available today are low quality and not that interesting. Surely someone can do better." Well, instead of waiting around for someone else to do better, TwirlyGirl sprang into action.
TwirlyGirls feature the exclusive TurboTassel™ construction, which means that these things practically spin themselves.
So many pasties to choose from! If you're looking for timeless designs that evoke the golden age of burlesque, check out the Classic Pasties section. If you want to turn up the heat a bit, take a look at Something Wild!

How to Jump from a Building into a Dumpster
How to Jump
1. Jump straight down. If you leap off and away from the building at an angle, your trajectory will make you miss the Dumpster. Resist your natural tendency to push off.
2. Tuck your head and bring your legs around. To do this during the fall, execute a three-quarter revolution—basically, a not-quite-full somersault. This is the only method that will allow a proper landing, with your back facing down.
3. Aim for the center of the Dumpster.
4. Land flat on your back so that when your body folds, your feet and hands meet. When your body hits any surface from a significant height, the body folds into a V. This means landing on your stomach can result in a broken back.
Be Aware
* If the building has fire escapes or other protrusions, your leap will have to be far enough out so you miss them on your way down. The landing target needs to be far enough from the building for you to hit it.
* The Dumpster may be filled with bricks or other unfriendly materials. It is entirely possible to survive a high fall (five stories or more) into a Dumpster, provided it is filled with the right type of trash (cardboard boxes are best) and you land correctly.

9yo girl marries dog
From correspondents in New Delhi
June 18, 2003
A NINE-year-old girl was married off to a dog in the presence of more than 100 people in eastern India under a tribal custom to protect the child from evil, a report said today.
Karnamoni Hasda wedded the street dog last week in West Bengal state's Hooghly district in a common practice among the Santhal tribe, the Press Trust of India news agency said, quoting local officials.
According to Santhal belief, if a child's first tooth appears on the upper gum he or she is in grave danger that can only be warded off by a marriage with man's best friend. The child can remarry a human after growing up.
The report said Karnamoni's canine marriage did not take place immediately after her first tooth appeared because her father's financial problems did not allow for a wedding at the time.

The planets are aligned. Mulberries are ripe and ice cream is on sale at 99 cents per half gallon. I plan to subsist on mulberry sundaes for the next week. And wash them down with mulberry shakes.
My grandparents gave me a taste for mulberries, which don't seem to be popular anymore. There are at least four mulberry trees in my neighborhood that go unharvested. Slightly green (actually pink) mulberries are good to munch on too. They taste like cantaloupe.
The birds leave little purple indicators to tell us when mulberries ripen.

I will never downplay Americans being killed in combat . . . But from a military perspective, it is insignificant.

* From a religious advice column in Arab News (an English-language daily newspaper in Saudi Arabia), 5-9-03:
"[Question] A person feels very uncomfortable during prayers because he gets recurrent thoughts that he might have discharged wind [during the prayers, and thus] invalidated the ablution." "And it is all without sound or smell."
"[Answer] [A] wind discharge is ascertained by sound or smell. If neither is present, then no wind discharge has taken place [and therefore the ablution has not been invalidated]."
