Anyone Need A Laugh?

August 15th, 2006 · No Comments

The damn news has been so depressing recently I’ve started crawling the internet looking for either good news, or bad news that’s funny. Please note that I’m on legally perscribed daily narcotics so any attempt at humor is suspect.

pipes From my home country of Scotland (so it’s OK if I laugh at them), via the UK Herald:

Nearly one-third of 16 to 24-year-olds in Scotland lost their virginity below the age of consent, according to a new survey.

Could it be because the other 2/3rds play bagpipes?

wallace More on dear Scotland from BBC News:

Justice Minister Cathy Jamieson announced laws to ban swords unless sold for legitimate reasons.

I wonder if Cathy Jamieson would have said this to William Wallace at the Stirling Bridge in 1297, or at the nearby village of Bannockburn in 1314?

Or what about Connor MacLeod, of the Clan MacLeod, when he faced The Kurgan?
