Because the history of defenestration wasn't enough...

[elsajeni]

The Czech Republic's latest entrance into the consciousness of the rest of the world.

Actually, I think this is hilarious. And also, given Czechs, a damned good idea. But... hee!

And on an unrelated note, except in the sense that it's also from Yahoo!'s Oddly Enough page:
Man Shoots Wife, Mistakes Her for Monkey
Am I the only person who thinks the two parts of this headline are out of order? I assume it went roughly like this:

MAN: There's that damn monkey again! *shoots at it*
"MONKEY": *falls over*
MAN: *looks at "monkey"* Oh. Shit. *calls ambulance and hopes they don't ask him to explain*

But the headline makes it sound like:

MAN: Die, woman! *shoots at wife*
WIFE: *falls over*
MAN: *looks at wife* Dammit! I hit the monkey by mistake!

It's a sad story... but dammit, get the headline right!

Free beer for blood? ... What a great idea!

i think that the czech offer should also work conversely; ie. show up with two beers, you should be able to walk away with a couple pints of blood.

[i wonder what that would be in metric.]

I just burst out laughing, yet again, because of reading your post. I think my prof is getting annoyed at me because I keep giggling in the middle of his lecture.

It remains your fault, and I still love you so.

in addition to the tipsy feeling you get when go give blood, you get to throw back a couple of beers too? woo hoo! less blood, more alcohol... i need to go donate blood!
