Phone-carrying pigeons discovered at prison

Two pigeons were found carrying a cell phone and a battery on their backs in a prison in the northwestern province of Bartýn on Saturday. Prison guards at Bartýn Prison discovered two pigeons in the prison courtyard with a cell phone and a battery taped to their backs. Prison officials said the pigeons were apparently too tired to fly any further with the items. The Bartýn Public Prosecutor´s Office has launched an investigation to find the would-be recipient of the cell phone. The pigeons are currently being kept at the prison.

I warned Lis that this would be too risky to send cell phones to her dudus like this.  Apparently, she didn´t listen...{#lang_emotions_rant}She can be quite persistent...

 lines of Thomas More 

More: And when we stand before God, and you are sent to paradise for doing according to your conscience, and I am damned for not doing according to mine, will you come with me, for fellowship?

Cranmer: So those of us whose names are there are damned, Sir Thomas?

More: I don´t know, your grace.

 I HAVE NO WINDOW TO LOOK INTO ANOTHER MAN´S CONSCIENCE.

 I condemn no one.

Cranmer: Then the matter is capable of question?

More: Certainly.

Cranmer: But that you owe obedience to your king is not capable of question. So weigh a doubt against a certainty — and sign.

More: Some men think the earth is round, other think it flat; it is a matter capable of question. But if it is flat, will the king´s command make it round? And if it is round, will the king´s command flatten it? No, I will not sign.

Where government is the big brother, privacy gives way to surveillance.

What caught my eye today are the river sof blood in the streets!(Not to mention the smell!)

Today we did the whole sacrifice thingy, w were supposed to yesterday but we said wed do it with our grandma, and our grandma was sacrificing a cow,a nd she got the cow from this place in the country side (where the cows are supposedly healthier)

so teh cow came today, it was sos ad!

]I cried and my cousin laughed at me!

You have no idea what they do!

 

First the tie the cows´ feet, front first then back, then if it doesnt fall tot he florr , (wish it does by the wya) the push it, and the poor thing knows its fate and keeps like moving and stuff, then they slit its neck,a nd this fountain of blood spurts out! and teh thing is moving at tehs ame time! And the blood just keeps on gushing and gushing! and then they start the cutting up process, after that we killed the sheep.

 

My cousin i s afreshman in medical school this year, he keeps showing off too, oh this is the blah blah blah and this si the blah blah, how he got into medical school i dont know! He didnt even study! He was out playing ball in the street the whole time!

He actually took the lungs of the sheep and (while they were all bloody and stuff) blew in them, and they inflated and omg theyre HUGE!!! but ti was soooo sickening his whole face was blood!

 

But thats him, he has  a picture of himself witha  corpse on his mobile, he wwas in a morgue, and hes holding the poor guys hands and his guts are all out!

 

Anyway, while they wre killing the sheep 9i man after) The guy blows between its skin and its

meat, so the whole thing was liek a balloon! Then he keeps hitting it and it amkes this rubbery sound! then he take sthe skin off.

 

Anyway, when you kill a sheep (or cow or whatever) youre supposed to give 1/3 away, a 1/3 to family and relatives and a 1/3 to yourself, if you only saw the amount of poor people on the street, tehy sit on the side walks and everything,a nd while youre butchering they come an dkeep begging, and its soo annoying becasue its like cant us ee its still being killed?

Anyway, you know if you touch the emat after it was cut its rally hot! From the animals body heat

If im goign to talk about this topica nd what happened today then ill never stop so what iw rote is already waaaaaaaay too much!

 It´s the prison clothes they made them wear femme - hard to escape unseen when you are dressed in bright yellow.

The subject was grusome (particularly as a vegetarian!), the grammar was appalling, the spelling terrible......but for some reason this post was sooooo entertaining!

 

Doudi it was a masterpiece!  You seem to manage to make me smile, even when you write about such a horrrible thing.  I adore the way you write in a conversational way as if you are gossiping to us!
