I dunno, I think Derm should be allowed to read it so he can exact proper punishment on them.

Egypt’s National Council for Women (NCW) has appealed to the Islamist-dominated parliament not to approve two controversial laws on the minimum age of marriage and allowing a husband to have sex with his dead wife within six hours of her death according to a report in an Egyptian newspaper.

Excuse me, going to go punch a wall.

 .... Gah this disgust! It won't come off. [Frantically runs hands down arms in vain attempt to scrub and then shivers]

In less creepy but still messed up news: http://news.yahoo.com/idaho-man-accused-using-gun-force-moonwalk-091155937.html

This is either entirely WTF, or a drastic misinterpretation of "walk right back outta here."

I mentioned in this thread a while back that I had a tiny muscle spasm on my face that lasted for over a week before it finally sort of faded away.  It still comes back occasionally, but not like it was.  It's been back super strong most of today.  My left eyelid feels like it's trying to fold over on top of itself.  Why?

Still have your wisdom teeth?

Had those taken out like 7 years ago.  The procedure was almost completely painless, also.  I ate buffalo wings that night.

Does it kind of feel like your pulse, but only in your eyelid?

Doesn't seem to be related at all.  What seems most likely to trigger it is doing anything else with my face, especially sniffing or swallowing, but it also happens completely at random on its own.  My left eyelid will sort of flutter for a split second and then contract really hard.

Could be stress, lack of sleep, excess energy/caffeine, or all of the above.

You could try exercising, since that'd help out with just about all those.

Could be a magnesium deficiency triggered by stress/lack of sleep.

I think it's an eyewig.

Well, by now it would have hatched eggs so make that several eyewigs.

I get that a lot. I think it's stress-related. Sometimes one eyelid will get completely spastic for half a minute at a time or more.

I doubt provisions will be made for it. I guess it's just some sort of fail safe in case of... grief induced temporary psychosis? 'Bout the only non-murder situation I can think of.

Excuse me while I apply brainbleach after getting that mental image.

Uhhhhh. What the fuck?

The controversy about a husband having sex with his dead wife came about after a Moroccan cleric spoke about the issue in May 2011.

Zamzami Abdul Bari said that marriage remains valid even after death adding that a woman also too had the same right to engage in sex with her dead husband.

Two years ago, Zamzami incited further controversy in Morocco when he said it was permissible for pregnant women to drink alcohol.

It's... weird.  The cleric who proposed this doesn't seem hardline or sexist or anything.  He just has some really, really weird ideas.  This doesn't seem like something that will pass anyway.

I can imagine a case where someone's wife died from a heart attack during sex; and with a strict interpretation of the necrophilia laws, the man was guilty of a crime.

This change prevents that situation from being prosecuted... although the laws should also be fair regarding any chosen sex partner.

But, if it was intended for that, it should be about 5 minutes. Not six hours. If you manage to have sex with a corpse for six hours with out noticing, your doing it wrong.

Ah, I've heard of her before, her nickname is Amatue. According to Mrs. Lukyanova herself, she was born on Venus (later changed to the Pleiades star cluster) and (apparently) was left stranded on Earth in a truly dreadful place - the continent of Ukraine. She waits for 21st of December 2012, the day when she will left Earth and the apocalypse will destroy mankind.

That's... pretty strange.

[Scelly9]

Not to you. I understand that perfectly. I was talking about that law.
