Things that make you go.......WTF?

Nobody thought it was the right thing to do, just that with the life of a child too young to know better on the line, it was the only option available.

Wether the parents should have anticipated the child being able to gain access to the enclosure is another debate.

You would think the custodians if the animals would have a responsibility to make sure no one, certainly not a small child, could gain access.

No winners just lessons to learn

If the headline strikes you as puzzling – what obscure Biblical verse is being used to advance this theory, you may ask? – wait until you read the actual piece. It gets a lot weirder.

I guess you can join 2 dots and call it a straight line if you try hard enough.

Pretty much!

Took the dog for a walk and went past a Thai bloke trying to peel the tin off a car wash . On a ladder, one leg , on the top, not fully open and he had no one holding it. Heard a crash and he had fallen off. OH ans S is paid lip service to here. He was a bit sore but the bloke who owns the car wash came out of his house and started abusing the poor bloke. Maybe if he had of helped it wouldn;t have happened.

2 sides to every story, or maybe 3.

Thats not much of a barrier, i bet people have sat on that ledge before for a rest, and Shes not the first person to be injured. They make it sound like she climbed into the actual enclosure, when that is not possible. It is possible for the jaguar to get a claw through the fence, and thats what happened. That concrete wall is seat height, and there is not much between it and the fence. very easy to just sit down or, yes, lean in.

More importantly what a horrible enclosure for the Jaguar. reminds me of the Elephant one at Melbourne zoo, no where near enough room for them. Werribee free range zoo is so much better, so much more space for the animals. if animals have to be in a zoo at all.

Apparently half of the people in Britain don't know where the Vagina is.

And no, that's not the men.

An interesting question for descriptivist linguists: are they actually wrong? I think it's fair to say that the term has developed a colloquial meaning referring to the entirety of the female genitals or even the entire female pubic area (hence expressions like "I shaved my vagina", which is obviously literally impossible, or at any rate inadvisable...). Our first encounters with the term is often when we learn at school (or from our parents) that boys have a penis and girls have a vagina, and it's natural to conclude that those two things are parallel – when, in fact, they're really not at all, and indeed the vagina is not even part of the female external sex organs (and most people, of course, think of these things visually). You can't blame people for being confused.

um, how do you come across these articles???

I need to inspect the issue closer being coming to a conclusion.
