Motorcycle Samurai Welcome in Portland, Mayor Says
The following was submitted to the mayor’s online “contact the mayor” system on Saturday just after 10pm:
Hi,
I saw a samurai on a motorcycle with a big sword. Is this something to be concerned about?
The mayor’s office’s response:
Dear sir: Thank you for emailing about the samurai you observed on a motorcycle. Mayor Potter has asked me to respond on his behalf. I can appreciate your concern. By all appearances, the samurai is not breaking any laws (including carrying a sword) and does not pose any immediate threat. Provided that the samurai does not engage in threatening behavior, the samurai is welcome in Portland.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Van Keuren, Public Advocate, Office of Mayor Tom Potter, Portland, Oregon

Grave Diggers Admit They Used Skull as Bong
Three Kingwood were arrested after admitting to Houston police they had dug up a child’s corpse, removing the skull and then turning it into a bong which they used to smoke marijuana.
“They cut the jaw off of it and wrapped it in electrical tape and used it to make a bong,” Officer Jim Adkins tells the local Fox affiliate.
Soldiers Say Porn Ban May Hurt Morale
The prospect of missing out on men’s magazines was not welcomed by soldiers at Grafenwöhr, Germany.
“We all read ‘em,” said Pfc. Paul Rubio, 31, of Bakersfield, Calif. “There are times we just read ‘em for the technological parts like the new gadgets that come out. They have good stories sometimes too.”
Sgt. Simon Brown, 34, of Daytona Beach, Fla., said men’s magazines build morale. “It’s not all about the pictures, although 80 percent of it is,” he said.
Yale art student claims to have induced and videotaped abortions
My dad and I were talking today about “artsy fartsy” liberal arts educations. He told me about this young lady’s senior art project at Yale. She claims to have artificially inseminated herself and induced abortions over a period of nine months. She intends to create and display a 4’x4’ cube wrapped in hundreds of feet of plastic sheeting, with blood collected from the miscarriages mixed with Vaseline, displayed between the sheets.
A school paper article on her project gathered national attention and sparked discussion and controversy on and off campus. The university claims that the student was never pregnant, and that she is engaged in a performance art piece. The whole series of articles from the school paper (google some combination of “yale senior art abortion” to find others) is pretty fascinating.

“The most unwanted music is over 25 minutes long, veers wildly between loud and quiet sections, between fast and slow tempos, and features timbres of extremely high and low pitch, with each dichotomy presented in abrupt transition…an operatic soprano raps and sings atonal music, advertising jingles, political slogans, and “elevator” music, and a children’s choir sings jingles and holiday songs. The most unwanted subjects for lyrics are cowboys and holidays.”
