A sign that America is completely disappearing up it's own arse?

'' Bob Johnson, the father of a primary school student in the Davis School District, told CBS News that he opposes the Bible's removal.

"I can't think of what's in the Bible that you would have to take out of it. Its not like there's pictures in it," he said. ''


There were in the Children's Bible my parents gave me to read - I particularly liked the one of Samson fighting a lion with only a jaw bone in his hand . I believe Jesus had blond hair in that version too which is perfectly reasonable - there was nothing in the Bible about not dyeing one's hair , just not coveting your neighbour's arse [ no one ever proof read the Children's Bible ] .

It's getting weird when Utah makes a stand on religion, that's for sure.

What I'm attaching isn't news, and I'm not posting it to slag these people or the teflon l'orange off. It just made me chuckle. It's funny, especially the dog chewing on a beer can.

I still can't believe that those two won 'America's Got Talent'..

Very sad story on the BBC about an Australian woman , Kathleen Folbigg once dubbed ' Australia's worst female serial killer ' and jailed for 20 years for the alleged killing of her 4 children all aged 2 or under back in 2003 when a Jury found her guilty of smothering all four children .

'' But at the fresh inquiry, headed by retired judge Tom Bathurst, prosecutors accepted that research on gene mutations had changed their understanding of the children's deaths.

New South Wales (NSW) Attorney General Michael Daley on Monday announced that Mr Bathurst had come to the "firm view" there was reasonable doubt that Ms Folbigg was guilty of each offence.

As a result, the NSW governor had signed a full pardon, and ordered Ms Folbigg's immediate release from prison. ''


But the key evidence was from a team of immunologists who found Ms Folbigg's daughters, Sarah and Laura, shared a genetic mutation - called CALM2 G114R - that can cause sudden cardiac death.

Evidence was also uncovered that her sons, Caleb and Patrick, possessed a different genetic mutation, linked to sudden-onset epilepsy in mice.

Professor Carola Vinuesa, who led the research team from the Australian National University, said an unusual genetic sequence was immediately obvious in Ms Folbigg's DNA, before the children's samples were even tested.

"We did the first test and found a [gene] variant that looked very suspicious... even then in November 2018, we thought this [a] very high likelihood, if found in the children, to be the culprit," she told the BBC.

Prof Vinuesa said there were only 134 known cases worldwide of the potentially deadly heart condition linked to the genetic mutation.

She described the decision to pardon Ms Folbigg as a "beautiful moment" that could offer hope to other women in similar situations. ''

I read that earlier.

That woman should be given enough money to live the rest of her life in total, extreme luxury.

4 dead children and life in prison. I'd have put an end to myself inside the first 6 months.

Yes indeed , I liked the way they'd pardoned her but her conviction was yet to be quashed , could take a year .

Twenty years of her life taken , 4 dead children and the means of having another child taken away from her - the anguish that poor woman must have endured doesn't bear thinking of - her husband too .

Three day old news but I just caught up with this one -

The Irish Government is reportedly looking in to culling 200,000 of its dairy cows in order to comply with EU climate targets .


I know they fart a lot but c'mon , culling seems a bit drastic , couldn't they fit some plastic bag over their bums and stick the gas in a container for later ?


Is this true , Ageing ?


I checked the date , it definitely isn't April 1st .

Since when did Ageing become KUMB'S Bovine Gas Correspondant?

He's our Irish Correspondent on all things Irish , he should know everything , including the amount of methane in a cow's belch and fart .

Perhaps I should have directed this one at Evil , he does know a lot about Gas .

A father & son in Tennessee decide to do some bonding together by robbing the petrol station half a mile from their house.

As they leave one of them decides to shoot dead the cashier, a 23 year old who had told friends earlier in the evening that she needed to get another job as she was worried about her safety. There was no reason for it. They had the money. Just wanted to kill.

We all like a feel good story -


'' Colombia plane crash: Four children found alive in Amazon after 40 days ''

'' Colombia's president said the rescue of the siblings, aged 13, nine, four and one, was "a joy for the whole country".

The children's mother and two pilots were killed when their light aircraft crashed in the jungle on 1 May. ''
