Jellyfish toxin can produce prolonged erections
Researchers have found that one rare species <of jellyfish> also causes an extra symptom of prolonged erections in male victims.
The other symptoms, which are part of Irukandji syndrome, are “severe pain, anxiety, paralysis and a potentially fatal rise in blood pressure” - as if that matters!
Researcher Lisa-Ann Gershwin discovered this new species and “said she had yet to name and classify the species.”
“Who knows, I might decide to do something really off the wall and name it ‘priapism’, which is the medical term for prolonged erection,” she said.
Hint: priapism is NOT something a redblooded he-man wants.
But men should not try to bypass medical research and swim around the Whitsundays seeking to be stung.
“Irukandji syndrome is something that happens to you that might kill you,” she said. “Preparing for a date involves not having irukandji syndrome.”

UK anti-social types to be electronically tagged
Prime Minister Tony Blair has said it is time to mark the end of the “1960s liberal consensus” on law and order.
I’ve a better idea, that Brits mark the end of the political career of Mr. Blair aka Bush’s Lap Dog aka The Senator from England from office instead.
Under Monday’s plans, the 5,000 most prolific criminals in England and Wales are to be constantly satellite-tracked.
Note that those tracked are not guilty of any crimes when the tracking device is attached. Just that someone thinks they might be up to no good. I’m sure no one would ever abuse the power to electronically manacle someone, would they?
He said they could also act as “prison without bars” for lower level offenders.
First get those crime-loving 60’s types, then the dissidents, then the liberals, then the …

Sandy Berger and the Republicrats
From Scripting News
I listened to most of Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity on AM radio today, driving from Santa Fe to El Paso. Sandy Berger sure gave them some ammo. After listening to them gloat for a total of three hours, in the end, I couldn’t come up with a rebuttal. I agree with the caller who told Hannity the reason Berger did what he did is that he’s a dishonest man. Exactly right.
If you read this site during the Lewinsky scandal, or the Communication Decency Act, you’d know I won’t go down the moral abyss with the Dems when they screw up. I think Clinton was every bit as corrupt and ineffective a President as Bush is. I don’t buy the Limbaugh-Hannity idea that there’s a great philosophical battle going on. That’s a bunch of bullshit. Both parties are cut from the same corrupt cloth.

In response to the international consensus in opposition to the Israeli Apartheid wall, and the International Court of Justice’s recent decision determining that the Israeli Apartheid wall violates the rights of the Palestinian people, the U.S. administration and the majority of Congress joined Israel by defying the world and supporting this racist and colonial Apartheid wall.
