An Afghan ayatollah made it official: A wife can indeed say 'no' to her husband's sexual demands, but on the other hand, since she has a 'duty' to him, he can retaliate by cutting back on his duty . . to feed her. Reuters
Turns out America's premier all-time mobster Al Capone was a sentimental music composer, and the sheet music for his Italian love song (from Alcatraz) is on sale for $65k ("Madonna mia / You're the bloom of the roses / You're the charm that reposes" and "With your true love to guide me / Let whatever betide me")/ Associated Press via The Pantagraph (Bloomington, Ill.) /// Lyrics

Comments
Plastic Surgery Art - There's only images of the nose jobs?? I demand to see the before and after pictures of the horrific birth defects. How else can I judge if it should be classified as art?
Wife - Go ahead and say No. He'll give in long before you starve. He's male, he can't help it.
Al Capone - That's the song that should be playing in the background when he's bashing that guy's head in with the baseball bat, in The Untouchables.
Violence - The only thing that surprises me about this article is that it happened in British Columbia.
Jury Duty - Get that man to a taxidermist! I could use a "bear" skin rug in front of the fire place.

@Tony: I agree, that's a criminally bad George "The Animal" Steele impression. Guilty.

Guilty: of falling asleep on the floor of a barber shop.

I could be wrong, but I thought breast milk did not have enough fat in it to curdle for cheese? He probably mixed it with something, in which case it would be cow milk with a hint of Alejandra.
