North Korea: Men required to get Kim Jong-un haircuts
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-26747649

"It seems that haircuts have been state-approved in North Korea for some time - until now people were reportedly only allowed to choose from 18 styles for women and 10 for men. Earlier, North Korea's state TV launched a campaign against long hair, called "Let us trim our hair in accordance with the Socialist lifestyle".

China wants their pork, and the United States is helping. Somehow things seem to be getting worse rather than better.

George Osborne has announced, today, that when the new one pound coins enter circulation in 2017, one in a hundred will be made so that they dissolve if they are left in a pocket of clothing that has gone into the washing machine. He hopes that this will counter inflation and bring down the deficit.

Welcome to Tennessee:

Lawmakers voted 25-2 to pass a measure filed by state Sen. Mae Beavers that would do away with the requirement that gun owners go through a background check, receive training and obtain a permit before carrying a handgun in public. Gun owners would have to get a permit only if they plan to conceal their weapons.

Twitter fail:
Dutch teen, 14, is arrested in Rotterdam after tweeting 'joke' Al Qaeda bomb threat to American Airlines (Daily Mail, 14. April 2014)

She wrote:

@AmericanAir hello my name's Ibrahim and I'm from Afghanistan. I'm part of Al Quaida and on June 1 I'm gonna do something really big bye

American Air wouldn't have access to her IP address, just from a tweet, would they?

‘I’m so sorry I’m scared now.’ she wrote. ‘I was joking and it was my friend not me, take her IP address not mine.’

Hahaha....throws her friend under the bus.
