More on the legal front: Salieri notes that a Norwegian politician is criticizing IKEA for not using female as well as male figures in its furniture assembly instruction pamphelets. Yep, that's what's wrong with 'em.
Theresa makes a good point: Who's your Turkish Prison Friend? Or, more importantly, how to recognize who isn't.
If you missed the details of the Tenet v. Doe decision earlier, it may (or may not) come as a surprise that spies who are promised big bucks by the feds cannot sue if our government reneges on the promise. Now, Milbarge and Fitz-Hume have the backstory.
No word yet on what the anonymous winner of the "Name that Monkey" auction is going to call it yet:
"The species of titi monkey -- which is about a foot tall and has a brown body, a golden crown, orange cheeks and a white-tipped tail -- was discovered by a Wildlife Conservation Society scientist in Madidi National Park in Bolivia last year, the conservation society said. The term "titi monkey'' describes about 30 species of monkeys found in South America."
Whoever-it-was paid $650,000 for the privilege to change the name from "titi monkey" to something presumably less titter-inspiring. Though unless I miss my guess, many bloggers would've backed Sebastian Haff's bid to name it "touch my." Just a little too late in pooling the funds.
Dave Barry provides the insightful news flash that some men are absolutely clueless.
Then he backs it up with evidence:
"Romanian doctors have removed a man's wedding ring from his penis.
The patient, who is married and has two children, told doctors he had a one night stand with another woman.
He couldn't say how the ring got onto his penis but suspected the mistress wanted to embarrass him because he fell asleep during sex."
I'll take a brief pause to restructure my universe in light of this new information . . .
While my mind is firmly in the gutter, I'll confess that I never knew Playboy was published in Braille. I guess some people really do read it for the articles.
On a tangent completely unrelated to the last several items, Evan from Notes from the (Legal) Underground is Prague-blogging. Those of us who haven't have a vacation in way too long can get jealous. I seriously have to go somewhere this spring.
From Overlawyered: Attorney accidentally sues himself. And it's in Madison County (Illinois) yet.
This makes my weekend.
Two other things I've been meaning to blog from Overlawyered:
An indignant Israeli is suing a pet shop that he says sold him a dying parrot. Can he be represented by John Cleese? Pretty please?
Music industry sues an 83-year-old dead woman for illegally trading music over the Internet.
Salon talks fugly.
Howard Dean's new image.
Vodkapundit links to . . . Hot Vodkapundit pics. Ya gotta love photoshop.
And, for dessert, Sugar Mr. Poon? has the obligatory self-castration post.
