In England and Wales, hundreds of Pagans serving prison sentences will be free of their duties during their "holiday" this Tuesday.
Prison Service bosses have instructed their staff to grant the convicts, who include Devil worshippers and Satanists, special privileges during Halloween.
The prisons, which grant these same privileges for all other religions as well, will allow the 282 incarcerated Pagans in England and Wales to use certain religious artifacts like rune stones, flexible twigs and hoodless robes within their cells or communal worship.
Though prisons are allowing inmates to observe their religious holidays in order to avoid being sued by prisoners, some others are outraged at the idea of inmates, much less Pagan ones, being given permission to celebrate.

Secret UFO Bases
The Overlooked News
With the media filled with news with war, politics, and Paris Hilton, it is refreshing when something of note is reported.
Secret UFO Bases Along The Interface Of The Seven Large Tectonic Plates
From the India Daily Technology Team
UFO bases need to be deep under the ground because the UFO crafts need to be close to the mantle of the earth. Servicing of these crafts can be done in that electromagnetic environment only.

Every 10-year-old kid knows that...
JOHANNESBURG - It's a "factual reality" that beans make you break wind, says South Africa's advertising watchdog.
A TV advert for sweet onions showed a rugby player eating beans that made him smell "stinky." The advert claims that "with sweet onions there are no tears, no burn and definitely no stink."
The country's Dry Bean Producers Organization complained about the advert on the basis that the "stinky" charge was untrue but the Advertising Standards Authority threw out the charge and said it was widely known that beans produce gas.
"It plays on an objectively determinable factual reality which cannot be denied..." the ASA said on its Web site.

Meet Chechnya's Psycho Zookeeper
Did Ramzan assassinate his harshest critic?
Contributed by a Misc-Reports Reader
Prime suspect in the murder of Russian journalis Anna Politkoskaya, other than scary Russian President Putin, is the even scarier Chechnyan
prime minister Ramzan Kadyrov.
Ramzan inherited the position on the death of his father and has
only just turned 30. He manages to combine the
life of a Scorsese gangster with an LA trust fund celebutante - in Grozny.
Little Known Ramzan Facts
* Is best friends with Mike Tyson, now called
Malik Abdul Aziz. Tyson has come to fight at
Ramzan's Grozny boxing club, "Ramzan".
Grozny is covered in posters showing Tyson
and Ramzan together.
* Bought a Siberian tiger cub, because Tyson
used to own one. He also has a lion, a wolf,
a bear and fighting dogs in his private zoo.
* Before cuddling any of his animals, spits
in their faces. To stop them giving him the
evil eye, of course.
* Hung the head of a prominent guerrilla from
a gas pipe, as a warning to would-be rebels.
* Human rights groups say his private army,
The Kadyrovtsky, is responsible for 70% of
all torture, rape, murder and kidnapping.
* Anna Politkovskaya recently claimed she
had video footage of a man identical in
appearance to Ramzan ordering murders and
kidnapping. His army have begun using their
picture phones to record videos of themselves
torturing Chechens.

Fortune Cookie Fortune
Numbers recommended by a fortune cookie resulted in a lottery win.
When the results began coming in from the 30 March 2005 Powerball drawing, lottery officials suspected fraud was underway.
While there had been only one winner of the $13.8 million jackpot, a record 110 players were claiming second prizes of either $100,000 or $500,000 (depending on whether they'd paid an extra dollar for the Power Play option that multiplies a win) for having matched the first five of the six numbers drawn.
Normally the lottery, which is held across 29 states, pays out only about four or five second-place prizes.
Having 110 claimants of second-place money appeared highly suspect. Yet it turned out there had been no chicanery afoot — the unexpected result had been just the way the cookie crumbled.
The roughly one-in-three-million combination of 22, 28, 32, 33, and 39 had been selected by so many hopeful lotto players because it had been the "lucky numbers" given to them in their fortune cookies.

Strange Backwoods Medic
In September, after law enforcement officers in North
Carolina spotted a reportedly stolen ambulance and
chased it through three counties until forcing it into
a ditch north of Greensboro.
Inside, they found the driver to
be mohawk-hairstyled Leon Hollimon Jr., 37, who is not
a medical professional but was wearing a stethoscope
and with latex gloves in his pocket.
Strapped to a gurney in the back was a dead six-point deer, and
according to witnesses an intravenous line was
attached to it and a defibrillator had been used.

Misirlou,' From the Del Tones to Pulp Fiction
The tune "Misirlou" has traveled quite a path, from klezmer music to 1950s exotica acts and finally to surf guitar and an appearance in the 1994 film Pulp Fiction.
Surf guitar legend Dick Dale & His Del-Tones turned the song into a surf guitar hit in 1962.

Penis-Melting Zionist Robot Combs
The phrase 'penis-melting Zionist robot combs,' while not widely known, does seem to be growing in popularity.
The phrase refers to a mass panic that swept through Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, in September 2003. The people of Khartoum feared that a Satanic foreigner was going around shaking hands with Sudanese men and thereby causing their penises to melt upwards inside their body.
In one case a man reported that he was approached by a stranger at the market. The stranger handed him a comb and asked him to comb his hair. "When he did so, within seconds... he felt a strange sensation and discovered that he had lost his penis."

Diebold Voting Machines Opened With Hotel Minibar Key
Vote Smirnoff
Contributed by a Misc-Reports reader
The key that controls access to a standard Diebold voting machine is a common key that can be ordered from the Internet, also used to open hotel minibars.
The access panel door on a Diebold AccuVote-TS voting machine — the door that protects the memory card that stores the votes, and is the main barrier to the injection of a virus — can be opened with a standard key that is widely available on the Internet...
Using such a standard key doesn’t provide much security, but it does allow Diebold to assert that their design uses a lock and key. Experts will recognize the same problem in Diebold’s use of encryption — they can say they use encryption, but they use it in a way that neutralizes its security benefits.
The bad guys don’t care whether you use encryption; they care whether they can read and modify your data. They don’t care whether your door has a lock on it; they care whether they can get it open. The checkbox approach to security works in press releases, but it doesn’t work in the field.

Meat Cake at SupersizedMeals.com
Overeating and then feeling remorseful about it is one thing. Overeating, taking photographs of the evidence, and then posting them online is something else.
Such ill-advised hubris is on display at SuperSizedMeals.com. The site encourages visitors to forgo baby steps and instead take a running leap toward obesity by gorging themselves on Bunyanesque burgers, burritos, pizza and “Meat Cake”.
While many of the submissions come from folks who found their glutton's paradise at restaurants, an alarming number are from people who cooked up their own gargantuan meals.

THE DUMBEST GUY ON EARTH!
This picture is real - not doctored in any way. It was taken by a Transportation Supervisor for a company that delivers building materials for 84 Lumber.
When he saw it in the parking lot of IHOP, he ran to buy a camera to take pictures.
The car is still running, as can be witnessed by the exhaust.
A woman is either asleep or otherwise out of it in the front seat passenger side. The driver was jogging up and down on Rt. 925.(in the background) The driver finally came back after the police were called, and they found him crouched behind the rear of the car, attempting to cut the twine around the load.
Luckily, the police stopped him and had the load removed.
The materials were loaded at Home Depot. Their store manager said they made the customer sign a waiver.
While the plywood and 2X4's are fairly obvious, what you can't see is the back seat, which contains 10 bags of concrete @ 80 lbs. each.
Both back tires had exploded, the wheels were bent and the back shocks had been driven through the floorboard.
The car, with FLA plates, was headed for Clanton, AL where the couple planned to build a new house.

British Prostitute Takes Client To Court After He Refuses To Pay
Wins Case And Still Loses
LONDON — A British prostitute took a client to court after he admitted he could not afford to pay her after sex, the Liverpool Echo newspaper reported.
Tracy Harper complained to police after unemployed Matthew Bushell, 33, told her he could not afford the $1,400 he owed her for their six-hour liaison, the northwest England regional daily said.
Bushell from Southport, near Liverpool, was bankrupt and owed $29,000 from using phone sex lines and escort girls, the evening newspaper added in its court report from the town.
He pleaded guilty to dishonestly obtaining sexual services and was made subject to a two-year supervision order. Magistrates also ordered him to pay $124 in court costs at a hearing on Monday.
No compensation order was made for Harper, from Bradford, in northern England.
