Cemetery burial plot is lottery grand prize

February 23, 2008 By: Bolkie Category: funny, odd, politics, sad, weird No Comments →

 

italy_flag In the Italian town of Marano, close to Napels, a very interesting lottery is being  organized. First prize is a burial spot on the local cemetery.

The town’s cemetery is completely full at the moment. That is why an emergency cemetery is being built in Marano. Though that new graveyard will only have enough spaces for 48 people.

The city administration is concerned that people might be starting to bribe city officials, as to obtain an exclusive resting place.

This made them decide to start the  rather odd lottery, of which the winner at least gets buried properly.

Though this is still a temporary solution. Work has begun on a much larger cemetery. The new graveyard will have space for over 1.000 burial spots.

jail cell A woman was reportedly caught after breaking into a jail to have sex with her husband. It all took place in England.

She must really love him.

The wife sneaked into Standford Hill open prison on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent, in the early hours of Sunday, according to The Sun.

But she was caught by a guard in the grounds as she tried to leave. An inquiry into the security breach is under way.

The Sun’s source said: “She got in by climbing over a fence and her husband was waiting for her.

“He took her into to his cell for a romp and she left a short while later. A few people knew about it. Then while she was trying to leave she was spotted.

“She stood out because she was the only woman in an all-male jail!”

Saudi Arabia arrests 57 wannabe players for ‘flirting’

Trying to pick up chicks in religious Saudi Arabia is a Huge Mistake.

saudi_arabia The religious police in the Muslim nation has arrested 57 young men who had flirted with girls in a Mall in the holy city of Mecca.

A Saudi newspaper reported this today.

Among other things, the culprits are guilty of ” wearing improper clothing, dancing and playing loud music.” Cannot have people dancing in a mall, now can we?

This can be read in a statement by powerful Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice.

The religious police, or Muttawa, are considered to be the guardians of the ultraconservative Sharia laws. If you do the crime, these guys make sure you do the time.  One of their most demanding tasks is to keep the male population strictly separated from the female population, as demanded by law.

Belgian movie theater shows movie backwards

February 22, 2008 By: Bolkie Category: entertainment, funny, odd, stupid 4 Comments →

 

filmrol The Kinepolis movie theater in the Belgian city of Hasselt started showing the movie ‘The Valley of Elah’ two weeks ago. This ofcourse isn’t breaking news. But only after two weeks they found out they were showing the movie backwards.

The Valley of Elah is a drama based on a true story, starring Tommy Lee Jones. ( info on IMDB)

Apparently something went horribly wrong during the assembly of the film. This has caused the visitors to see the ending first. Usually when a film is delivered to a movie theater, the movie is cut in at least two parts. Then it is up to the movie theater to assemble the separate parts into a full movie. But they did it wrong.

The two parts were switched around so the movie-goers saw a very strange movie. Oddly enough, more then 700 people had already seen the flick before some genius thought something was wrong. That genius decided to tell the theater there was something fishy about the movie.

According to Kinepolis Hasselt, everyone who had bought a ticket in the past weeks is encouraged to exchange their old ticket for a new one.

Idiot steals car, then visits police station

I found a hilarious news item on Yahoo! today :

Authorities say a man drove a stolen car to the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office to demand the return of nearly $2,000 officers seized from him during a drug arrest last June.

Authorities say Chambers was charged with possession of a stolen automobile, driving under suspension and a tag violation.

Deputies said after they told Charles Chambers, 36, to leave Tuesday afternoon, an officer noticed he got into a car that matched the description of a vehicle stolen about three hours earlier.

Another officer pulled the man over and told him to stop the car. The officer said Chambers stuck a screwdriver in the ignition to shut it off because the vehicle’s key switch had been removed.
