It’s probably not a good idea to get a Japanese or Chinese character tattoo if you don’t speak the language, but something in English is safe, right? Well, perhaps not if you can’t spell: The L Magazine has a round up of the 10 greatest misspelled tattoos. My lack of spelling ability has always prevented me from getting a tattoo. That and general fear of pain.

I know, I know, people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. New Hampshire’s Valley News misspelled its own name!

Regret the Error, a blog dedicated to documenting this sort of mistakes, had already picked it for 2008 Typo of the Year: Link (The typo is still visible in the newspaper’s archive section)

Apparently, fish pedicures (having fish nibble dead skin off your feet) are all the rage in beauty treatment:

Customer Patsy Fisher, 42, of Crofton, Maryland, admitted she was nervous as she prepared for her first fish pedicure. But her apprehension dissolved into laughter after she put her feet in the tank and the fish swarmed to her toes.

"It’s a little ticklish, actually," she said.

Ho said the hot water in which the fish thrive doesn’t support much plant or aquatic life, so they learned to feed on whatever food sources were available — including dead, flaking skin. They leave live skin alone because, without teeth, they can’t bite it off.

Dan Glass, member of the Plane Stupid (an "action" group that wanted to end airport expansion) decided to take matters into his own hands when he met UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown: he decided to glue himself to the PM!

Speaking afterwards, Mr Glass said: "My left hand was covered in superglue and I stuck it to his sleeve. "I just glued myself to him and after 20 seconds he tore my hand off - it really hurt. He had to give it a couple of tugs before it came away. "He was just grinning about it. He didn’t seem to take me seriously."

After the incident Mr Glass was allowed to stay Number 10 for 40 minutes. When he left the building he tried to glue himself to the gates of Downing Street but was prevented from doing so by a police officer. "I didn’t have much glue left by that point," he said.

And how true are the things written on the protest flag that person is holding .... It so depicts not only the sentiments of every muslim who's been targetted for their racism, genocide, class of imperialism and brutality but also voices the millions of Americans, Panamanians, Rwandan, Venezveulans and every single soul who's been a victim of "treachery disguised in fake democracy", lies, misinformed and misguided reports. How the hell you can create peace out of bombardments, liberate through lies and your greed. bombing to save your own skin. Saying no we are not racists or whatever and doing everything exactly opposite. Just in few days time ... Afghanistan was destroyed... Iraq was destroyed ... lebanon was destroyed ... just to safeguard your own political and material interests ...

God help us... how can you expect people to love you when you are the very reason for the loss of mothers, fathers, siblings and even children... When you arm one military force only to support her to bomb and rock the civilians' places. Impossible...

You make reservations for restaurants and hotels, so why not heaven? Space is limited and Nate Davis and Edgar Kim of Seattle are selling reservations for the ever after on their website Reserve A Spot In Heaven:

"Why go to church when you can go to our Web site," Davis said. "Click, click, $12 and you’re going up (to heaven)," he said.

And those reservations come with a money back guarantee. "We’re men of our word," Davis said. "If you don’t get there, you’re going to get your money back," Kim added.

And just in case their website will cause them eternal damnation, Nate and Edgar got Reserve a Spot in Hell too.
