So I read in the paper recently that people have been calling for a pit bull ban lately because a boy was bit in the face recently when leaning over a picnic table at a family friends pit bull. This boy is actually a cousin of a friend of a friend of mine. I did have another thread about that story. But I am absolutely appalled by the ignorance of the people in my province wanting to ban a breed, If anything there should be a law to have in mandatory to spay and neuter all pit bulls unless they are being used for showing and/or working purposes only. Maybe a mandatory leash law but banning a breed is just...stupid it makes us look like uneducated idiots, its disgraceful. …

I was driving near the Davenport Airport, where the Quad Cities Air Show was going on. About an hour after I was in the area, a pilot in formation nose dived into the ground. Here's a video I found on YouTube. Poor pilot did not have a chance.

I'm not fond of the title of the article it makes me feel like they are trying to say pitbulls in general are dangerous because it was a pitbull. Anyways this is a friend of a friend of mines cousin who got bit. I wonder if he was maybe staring the dog down or something? Its sad either way poor lil guy got bit and the dog had to be put down. http://www.castanet.net/edition/news-story-79772-1-.htm#79772 In reality more people are bit by small dogs then big dogs its just never reported because they aren't seen as threatening

[h=1]Essex Police investigate 'lion' sighting near St Osyth[/h]Police in Essex are investigating reports that a lion has been spotted in a field near St Osyth. Residents have been advised to stay indoors after the sighting in fields off Earls Hall Drive at 19:00 BST. Essex police are working with experts from Colchester Zoo who believe the reports to be genuine after being shown a photograph by a member of the public. Local resident Che Kevlin told the BBC: "I heard a loud roar at 10pm. It sounded like the roar of a lion." Armed police have been drafted into the area and two police helicopters are searching the area where it was spotted. Essex police say about 2…

"Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, has died at the age of 82, after suffering complications from heart surgery, NBC News is reporting. Earlier this month, the former NASA astronaut had undergone heart surgery. He famously uttered the quote moments after setting foot on the lunar surface: ‘That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.’ As commander of the Apollo 11 mission, Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the moon on July 20, 1969."

Not a fan of TMZ but.... http://www.tmz.com/2012/08/21/prince-harry-naked-photos-nude-vegas-hotel-party/ This honestly makes me sad to see this. But I guess it as time for somebody in the family to mess up. I have a feeling that his mother would do some serious butt kicking if she was around still. And I also have a feeling that who ever took and released these pictures is not going to be having a nice life after this. If I had pictures like this of Harry nobody would ever see them...Why would you want to share such pictures when you could just keep them all to your self:P I know I would
