Russian spa opens monument to the enema

MOSCOW—A monument to the enema, a procedure many people would rather not think about, has been unveiled at a spa in the southern Russian city of Zheleznovodsk.

The bronze syringe bulb, which weighs 800 pounds and is held by three angels, was unveiled at the Mashuk-Akva Term spa, the spa's director said Thursday.

"There is no kitsch or obscenity, it is a successful work of art," Alexander Kharchenko told The Associated Press. "An enema is almost a symbol of our region."

typical of Chinese glonous history and cultual

Reuters News Item:

As [China] readies for an influx of visitors for the August Games, the Chinese capital has offered restaurants an official English translation of local dishes whose exotic names and alarming translations can leave foreign visitors frustrated and famished.

If officials have their way, local newspapers reported on Wednesday, English-speaking visitors will be able to order "beef and ox tripe in chili sauce", an appetiser, rather than "husband and wife's lung slice".

"Bean curd made by a pock-marked woman", as the Beijing Youth Daily rendered the spicy Sichuanese dish, is now "Mapo tofu." And "chicken without sexual life" becomes mere "steamed pullet".

Unforgiveable Sins

Dante is granted a tour of Hell. The Devil leads him to the first level, where he sees people knee-high in lava, screaming in agony.

Dante asks, "What did these people do?"
The Devil answers, "These are Catholics who ate meat on Good Friday."

They move to the next level of Hell, where Dante sees people up to their waist in lava, screaming in agony.

"What about these people?" Dante asks.
The Devil replies, "These are Jews who ate pork on Yom Kippur."

They move to the lowest level, and Dante sees people up to their necks in lava, screaming in agony.

"And here?" Dante asks.

The Devil sighs and says, "They're Episcopalians who ate their salad with their dinner fork."

Tao of programming

Thus spake the master programmer:
``When you have learned to snatch the error code from the trap frame, it will be time for you to leave.''

Grand Master Turing once dreamed that he was a machine. When he awoke he exclaimed:
``I don't know whether I am Turing dreaming that I am a machine, or a machine dreaming that I am Turing!''

Lesbos islanders dispute gay name

By Malcolm Brabant
BBC News, Athens

Campaigners on the Greek island of Lesbos are to go to court in an attempt to stop a gay rights organisation from using the term "lesbian".

The islanders say that if they are successful they may then start to fight the word lesbian internationally.

The issue boils down to who has the right to call themselves Lesbians.

Is it gay women, or the 100,000 people living on Greece's third biggest island - plus another 250,000 expatriates who originate from Lesbos?

The man spearheading the case, publisher Dimitris Lambrou, claims that international dominance of the word in its sexual context violates the human rights of the islanders, and disgraces them around the world.
