бес церемоний

Познакомлюсь с порядочным человеком с высшим образованием и без вредных привычек, одобряющим церемонию открытия зимних Олимпийских игр, для совместного просмотра церемонии закрытия. 

наша азбука

Хотя Маше всего девять лет, на музыку она ездит самостоятельно. Вчера вернулась расстроенная – случайно подслушала в трамвае разговор двух дам.

«Одна тётенька сказала, что экономика у нас  - в… слово из пяти букв, начинается на пэ. А вторая тётенька сказала, что скоро не будет ни… слово из четырех букв, начинается на хэ.»

Вот такая у нас азбука.

Marius the giraffe

A bid to save a young giraffe from destruction at Copenhagen Zoo has failed, and the giraffe was put down on Sunday morning.

Thousands of people had signed an online petitions appealing for a change of heart over the two-year-old called Marius.

The zoo said it had no choice because of its duty to avoid in-breeding.

Marius was due to be killed by a bolt gun, not a lethal injection, which would contaminate the meat.

The carcass will partly be used for research and partly to feed carnivores at the zoo.

The director of a wildlife park in the Netherlands, Robert Krijuff, whose last-minute offer of a place was also rejected, said: "I can't believe it. We offered to save his life. Zoos need to change the way they do business."

Убили жирафа, сволочи.

мы не одни такие

BAUCHI, Nigeria — The young man cried out as he was being whipped on the courtroom bench. The bailiff’s leather whip struck him 20 times, and when it was over, the man’s side and back were covered with bruises.

Still, the large crowd outside was disappointed, the judge recalled: The penalty for gay sex under local Islamic law is death by stoning.

“He is supposed to be killed,” the judge, Nuhu Idris Mohammed, said, praising his own leniency on judgment day last month at the Shariah court here. The bailiff demonstrated the technique he used: whip at shoulder level, then forcefully down.

Homosexuality is illegal in 38 of 54 African countries, according to Amnesty International, and carries the death penalty in Mauritania, Sudan and Somalia, as well as Shariah-governed northern Nigeria. Recently Uganda’s president declined to sign a bill that carried a life sentence for gays, though he called them sick. In Senegal, where the press regularly “outs” gays, same-sex relations carry a penalty of five years.
