Samoan clerics finger homosexuals over global warming

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/09/21/climate_change/

Clerics in the South Pacific have fingered the key cause of climate change - homosexuals.

The revelation came at a conference at the University of the South Pacific considering the implications of Climate Change and Creativity.

So they're saying it's getting all hot and steamy because one dude puts his wiener in another dudes butt...

[Whirlingdervish]

I wonder if the homosexuals like being fingered?

Surrey, England: Unholy cassette recordings on unspooled audio tapes inflict curse on motorway!

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/09/27/m25_curse/

A group of Christian evangelicals has declared junction 9 of the M25 "hexed" and is staging regular prayer meetings to cleanse the benighted interchange.

According to the Surrey Advertiser, Gerald Coates of the Pioneer Engage Church in Leatherhead has attributed a rash of accidents and footbridge suicides around the junction to someone "motivated by dark forces".

Coates believes the malefactor has been recording evil messages onto cassette tapes which are then unspooled to enclose and hence curse their target areas.

The abundance of unspooled tapes in the area were proof of the malevolent plan, he told the paper.

What's more ridiculous is that people in England are still listening to tapes.

Ever try to hex with a cd?  Can't be done.

[|iR|Focalor]

I know, if the CD gets scratched, the hex always skips.

And MP3's would just get passed around piratebay too much. That place is already plenty evil.

That's why I always hex with an LP. Vinyl warps and puts a nice bend on the invocation. Makes for spooky eFX. Nevermind all the wow and flutter of tape, pink noise doesn't look good beside fire and brimstone. Color clash is so gauche.

I'm with the Wabbit - with the exception of Edison's venture in 1878, vinyl makes the best backmasking available

Backmasking is so 1980's. These days we can come right out and say "Kill your parents" as long as there is a tacky parental advisory sticker slapped on it.
