An Australian Education

People
Here's a message that the Queensland, Australia Maroochydore High School staff voted unanimously to record on their school telephone answering machine. This is the actual answering machine message for the school. This came about because they implemented a policy requiring students and parents to be responsible for their children's absences and missing homework. The school and teachers are being sued by parents who want their children's failing grades changed to passing grades - even though those children were absent 15-30 times during the semester and did not complete enough school work to pass their classes. Which makes me wonder why Canadian schools can't have the same attitude. Click the play button below to listen Maroochydore High School Message

There's an entertaining web site available for your perusal called People Of Walmart which invites Walmart shoppers to submit pictures of other Walmart shoppers at their worst.

This site proves that Walmart has a well deserved reputation for classy people wearing classy clothes. Enjoy.

I can only imagine the embarassment caused by the morons that thought it was hilarious (although I'll admit, I laughed when I first saw the image) and I'm unsure if the dating site was found responsible but it's a good example of how vulnerable we can be on the Internet.

Don’t read this one

People
The following story is not for the weak of heart. You've been warned. The one comes from news.cincinnati.com: James Orr put an immediate halt to his criminal trial Wednesday when he squeezed the contents of his colostomy bag onto the table in front of him and ate it. "There was what appeared to be feces on the table and on the floor," assistant Hamilton County prosecutor David Prem said. Prem was prosecuting Orr, 66, for robbery and kidnapping. The trial, without a jury before Common Pleas Court Jud More..ge Ethna Cooper, began last week but continued today. A witness had just taken the stand in the case Wednesday when Norm Aubin, Orr's attorney, said Orr leaned into him and asked if Aubin had anything to eat. A shocked Aubin said…
