Mr Lalor, who also writes about beer for his newspaper, said: "To add insult to injury they charged a £1,000 transaction fee. Until the money comes back I won't rest easy."

Death by sex in the workplace:

The worker's health insurance fund (Cpam), a party in the case, particularly stressed the fact that sexual intercourse "relates to acts of everyday life like to take a shower or a meal."

Only in France.

I've traveled a lot on the company dime. I think there is a company responsibility for reasonable payments to return the body in a case like this but workplace compensation for a personal sex romp resulting in a death totally unrelated to contracted duties is a bit much.

Wildlife officials say feral hogs from Canada encroaching on Montana's northern border are a serious concern for farmers and others.

Daily Inter Lake reported Sunday that the U.S. agriculture department's Wildlife Services division says there have been multiple reports of feral hogs near the border.

An official says eight mature pigs were discovered in Canada directly above Montana's Lincoln County this summer.

We must stop this.

 

Most states have no season/no limit on feral hogs (or cattle). The Georgia Bulldog was a "catch-dog" used to round up livestock for ear-nocking before fence laws were enacted. Each county courthouse had a brand book listing the registered ear notches for cattle and hogs which were at that time allowed to roam freely. Hence now feral. I used to shoot several every year down in the swamps here. One old boy down here still uses catch dogs to capture hogs and sells them for big$$$$ to game ranches to allow "Dudes" to shoot them.

It's about the same here.

In 2001, state lawmakers reclassified the pigs from livestock to predatory animals, allowing them to be hunted without regulation. Eight years later, the Legislature passed a law requiring landowners to notify state wildlife officials if they see feral swine on their property.

Isn't that what was/is rumored to have started the Hatfield and McCoy feud?

 

That and some bad-ass Appalachian attitudes that were already PO'd. They didn't lynch people for it but I'm sure it started a lot of arguments that could be nasty. People out of town were generally pretty well spread apart so someone poaching on your land was not taken kindly to.

Research measuring if there is a difference in temperature between the left and right testicles is one of the winners of this year's spoof Nobel prizes. Fertility experts Roger Mieusset and Bourras Bengoudifa measured the temperature of French postmen's testicles, both naked and clothed. They found the left one is warmer, but only when a man has his clothes on.
