Virginity Checks on Female Protesters. Outrageous.

I've just read this on CNN's website. Female protesters who were arrested in Cairo, Egypt were subjected to virginity tests back in the Egyptian protests earlier this year. Just recently, a senior Egyptian general admits that the virginity of the women were tested despite denials from other officials. The unidentified general gave the following statements in defense of the intrusive inspection:

"The girls who were detained were not like your daughter or mine," the general said. "These were girls who had camped out in tents with male protesters in Tahrir Square, and we found in the tents Molotov cocktails and (drugs)."


The general said the virginity checks were done so that the women wouldn't later claim they had been raped by Egyptian authorities.

"We didn't want them to say we had sexually assaulted or raped them, so we wanted to prove that they weren't virgins in the first place," the general saidhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif. "None of them were (virgins)."

Outrageous I tell you.

Incredibly Well Preserved 700 Year Old Mummy Found In China

I was checking out weird news and then I came across this news article about an incredibly preserved 700 year old mummified woman in Taizhou, China. Not only the mummy (most likely a member of the ancient Chinese nobility) is completely dressed from head to feet, it seemed like she died recently. It was discovered buried 2 meters under a road during a construction.

China has one of the oldest civilizations in the world. They were like the Egyptians of Asia. I wonder what is the secret behind the amazing preservation process of this mummy?

Face on the curtains!

This just in: just a while ago while lying on my bed, I saw this image of a glaring man on the curtains! Amazing! Below are a few pics. I swear that they're no photoshopped.

Spirit or just an illusion created by unusual creases combined with shadows? I think I'll go with the crease theory but one thing is certain though: I'll have a hard time sleeping especially with an image that seems to be looking at me. As I'm typing right now, it's still there. GLARING.

Update: Placed my cat near the curtains. No negative reaction. I guess it's just an illusion.

Russian flight controllers talking with Alien Cat Girls

Lico: Here's some bizarre news I've just read in my facebook. Real cat-girls? Hmmm...


--------------------------


London, Mar 2 (ANI): Air traffic controllers in Siberia claim to have been buzzed by a high-speed UFO with a female sounding alien speaking to them in an unintelligible cat-like language.

The object had suddenly burst onto flight monitors over the remote Russian diamond capital of Yakutsk, and it was shown flying at a speed of slightly over 6000 mph, and rapidly changing direction.

The UFO was logged at a height of 64, 895 feet above sea level and appeared to interfere with aviation frequencies.

A YouTube footage showed an air traffic controller trying to make contact with the UFO, while a radar showed the UFO moving rapidly through the skies surrounded by planes that were travelling at a much slower pace.

"I kept hearing some female voice, as if a woman was saying mioaw-mioaw all the time," the Daily Mail quoted the air traffic controller as telling the pilot of a passing Aeroflot flight.

The air traffic control monitor automatically designated the UFO as "00000" because it did not have a flight number.

At one point the UFO is shown moving away from Yakutsk at great speed before turning and heading back towards the city. (ANI)

Behold the usual obligatory relevant yet funny pic.

Oh how I wish that the said aliens are like the cute anime cat girls but it seems unlikely. I'm still crossing my fingers though.
