April 27, 201213 yr For the slightly eye-blink at some world news.. http://www.ynetnews....4221310,00.html Women in Egypt are fighting proposed laws that would permit men to have sex with their wives up to six hours after death. On Monday, Egypt's National Council for Women sent a letter to Egyptian People's Assembly Speaker Dr. Saad al-Katatni, asking parliament not to approve the controversial laws, the Egyptian newspaper Al Ahram reported. The council argued the new marriage rules, lowering the legal age to 14, and the "farewell sex" legislation are similar to traditions that have prevented women from working or being educated. The idea that marriage remains valid, even after death, came from Moroccan cleric Zamzami Abdul Bari, who spoke about it in May 2011. He also said women have the same right to have sex with their dead husbands. "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."

April 27, 201213 yr Can we also marry posthumously? I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
April 28, 201213 yr I was about to say that it's not really equal rights, since men can't get it up when they are dead, but then I guess that's what rigor mortis is for.
April 28, 201213 yr To be fair those corpses are probably more lively in the sack than me ex wife. Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot!
April 28, 201213 yr Er... what the unholy **** is going on? "Give us democracy! Then give us death!" "Surely you mean 'or give us death'?" "I know what I mean." EDIT: The CSM reckons it's total proverbial. Edited April 28, 201213 yr by Walsingham "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
April 28, 201213 yr The CSM reckons it's total proverbial. Cheers. It's a shame the media companies people actually pay attention to aren't as professional as CSM. I mean, a lot of the most **** things about Murdoch's dirty News Corp empire would be resolved if they actually bothered to check their facts instead of printing lies. And most of the remaining problems could then be solved by them being ethical (like the CSM so consistently is) instead of deliberately and wilfully biasing their stories to push a political agenda. Oh, and in case people don't click Wals's link: the story appears to have been utterly fabricated by a member of Mubarak's dictatorship, then picked up by lots of news outlets world-wide that are happy to believe everything bad they read about Muslims.
April 28, 201213 yr Author EDIT: The CSM reckons it's total proverbial. Tsk , it's one of those ones where you first see it and think it must be something screwy, then you find mention of it in a bunch of seperate news areas and you guess it must have some value of journalism.. Ah well. I guess that's becoming part of the joys of modern journalism and media in the internet age... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
April 28, 201213 yr Can we also marry posthumously? I know it's happened in France, at least. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
April 28, 201213 yr Coworker theorized this was to reduce the illegality of 'accidents'. Upon further discussion, that was a very bad idea to talk about at work Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein

When death does not part This was recently used in the case of one of the paratroopers or cops who was murdered by the islamist psycho. I wouldn't classify it as "dumb", per se.

April 28, 201213 yr So they have to fill the preliminary form? Guess that's a no on me marrying some famous dead actress. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
