I guess in France people are used to it and consider this a normal way of celebration for the Algerians.

http://www.demotix.com/news/5111111/clashes-between-algeria-football-supporters-and-riot-police-lyon The thing is that French Algerians have a better chance to play in the Algerian team than in the French team, unless like Zidane they are really really good.

So in France people of Algerian origin have been celebrating the fact that their country is through by torching other people's cars and motorcycles. Yep, given the choice I think I prefer U.S. football fans.

I haven't seen any Algerian women among the fans either. Then again, that might be because I am watching the South-Korea - Belgium game. South-Korea should really work on getting a better keeper. This one's dreadful.

I am not sure who to support here. On the one hand eleven hardworking, passionate, plucky representatives of a nation that is in every respect a dwarf among football giants and who try to make up for their lack of individual talent by giving it their very best, and on the other hand there's South-Korea. Just kidding, neighbours! Your team is actually quite decent. On paper.

Can't imagine many clubs having an interest in buying him from Liverpool anymore now. Then again, you never know.

Ah, he is also suspended from all football activities for four months. That's more like it.

Het got off light, if you ask me.

Stray cat befriends lynx after sneaking into its zoo enclosure http://metro.co.uk/2014/06/18/stray-cat-befriends-lynx-after-sneaking-into-its-zoo-enclosure-4766873/

I think we should send Cesar Milan to have a look at him...

Its good that you moved so swiftly to prevent said murder, what would happen later when kitty gets older and reflects on its life. Imagine the guilt Cats hunt - its what they do. They're obligate carnivores and as they can't produce etinol, taurine, and arachidonic acid IIRC and they have to get it from the flesh, organs and/or bones or prey. Or cat food. But while you can take the animal hunting out of the cat food, you can't take the animal hunting instinct out of the cat. But murder is murder, and what about the long term psychological consequences when Kitty realizes all the lives that he/she has ended? Just because Kitty is an animal this needs to be considered...don't you think? So you're suggesting that cats abstain from hunting... ...and thus go blind and die because they can't synthesize proteins they need from eating plants? And what about plant murder? Why is that bird okay to save, but not the grass. WON'T ANYONE THINK OF THE GRASS? I am quite sure Bruce was joking. I certainly hope so!

Jadedmeister, I can't comment on the Netherlands but in South Africa we Pet Psychics and Pet Behavioral experts ( Pet Psychologists ) who do claim to understand what is going on in the mind of pets. So don't dismiss the fact that pets have feellings and thoughts too that correlate at times with ours I don't discounts that they have feelings and thoughts at all. I do very much doubt our cat will ever feel guilty about chasing birds though!

Just because Kitty is an animal this needs to be considered...don't you think? Don't worry Bruce, we can't afford a cat therapist but we are going to try to council her ourselves with the help of some self-help literature. She's going through a rough patch, but we are going to make sure she gets through it. In all seriousness, the bird must've had a death wish because it came back later that day. I was looking for the cat since it was her feeding time and saw her having a go on the same bird. It looked quite rough and I was quite sure the bird was dead but as it turned out she was only playing with the silly bird. I wonder if she even had her claws out, because when we the birdie hopped into our neighbours garden, who stuffs animals for a living and as such has a good idea of their anatomy, he gave the bird a good checkup and said that the bird was just fine. Weird, but our kitty has brought live animals into our garden before so it seems it's just play to her.

Off-topic: I once met a fellow who claimed to practise the sword stroke of the assistant in this rather quaint ceremony every morning. He said whenever he did he imagined that he was cutting off the head of his best friend. So... I asked him who his best friend was - he answered his girlfriend was his best friend. I then asked him what his girlfriend thought of that. I don't remember what he answered, but he completely failed to see the connection. In all fairness, the guy probably had a social disorder. Nonetheless, the bizarre obsession and reverence some people have for this weird suicide ritual never ceases to amaze me. On topic: And Greece is through. There is no God.

Goodbye Japan. You did your best, but sadly it wasn't good enough. Good luck next tournament. A shame, after the WC in Japan and S-Korea I had high hopes for both teams, but Japan hasn't improved at all and South-Korea has only gotten worse.

Interesting statistic: Suarez had never lost a match in which he bit someone.

Okay, that's it. Suarez needs to be muzzled. And so unnessecary when Uruguay scores a few minutes later. I imagine this was Suarez' last game this tounament. Great player but as a person... He has a few screws loose up there.

Just prevented my kitty from committing foul murder against a young bird that flew into our garden. Said birdie was mostly without tail feathers so couldn't fly very well and was helping itself to some of the berries in our garden when our kitty pounced. Luckily our kitty isn't very experienced yet with hunting so she only managed to get some feathers, and I quickly pushed the kitty back inside. The bird wasn't very smart either though because it didn't seem to even attempt to fly away much, even though I did see it fly. It was still sitting there in our garden afterwards, which kind of worried me. But when I took a small branch with some berries, offering it to the birdie, it did quickly fly away. Odd. The birdie probably though that since I was screaming bloody murder and chasing it earlier I must've been a bad sort. It can't have known I was in fact screaming bloody murder and chasing our cat instead.

Are you absolutely sure you posted this in the right thread? That's not a "what you did today", unless of course you were taking the pictures. Either that or this is a really, really crude way of announcing your new relationship status.
