Filthy river water sickens triathletes

The Oklahoma State Department of Health confirmed Wednesday that a stretch of the Oklahoma River was to blame for sickening at least 45 triathletes last month, saying the water was filled with parasites, viruses and other contaminants associated with animal and human waste. There were 367 participants in the May 16-17 Boathouse International Triathlon in Oklahoma City, which was held after a heavy rain and included a 1.5-kilometer swim. A total of 45 reported symptoms including diarrhea, vomiting and fever.

Force him or her? to swim in the Oklahoma River.
I have a black cat, Squeaky, and I keep her indoors.

On second thought, the Oklahoma River would be too kind for someone like that.

Better still hand `em over to my dogs.
Wonder why this piece of sh*t isn`t roaming around mutilating rottweilers or dobermans.

Now, Brian, do you really support the death penalty?  

The great sax player Charlie Mariano died in Cologne, Germany today aged 85. He played with jazz greats like Charles Mingus, Charlie Parker, Stan Kenton, Eberhard Weber, the United Jazz and Rock Ensemble and prog band Embryo. I opened a R.I.P. page for him.

Actually, when it comes to the death penalty I admit to being conflicted.  It should be used really sparingly.

  I was wondering what you might say.

You know, you could make him spend ten years reading all the comics you come up with.

Some really bad news for Jack The Ripper fans, this is from the London Daily Telegraph which I recieve about a week late in Montréal.

The character of Jack The Ripper was invented by journalists to sell newspapers, and his East end London murder spree was actually the work of several unrelated killers according to a new book.
Senior police officials who investigated the 1888 murders were convinced they were not the work of a single man, research by the historian Dr. Andrew Cook has uncovered. A letter, boasting about the killings signed by a "Jack The Ripper" was forged by a journalist at the Star newspaperin an attempt to sustain sales that had been swollen by it`s salicious coverage of the crimes. This fed a panic that engulfed the Victorian capital and allowed copycat killers to get away with further murders Dr. Cook claims in a new book Jack The Ripper : Case Closed, a culmination of 5 years of studying London`s most notorious " serial killer".

My copy is on rush order.

I dunno, I think it`s that guy in Russia that killed over a hundred people.
