Metro-sexual

Hail fair brethren! What? A blog so soon? Yes, your eyes do not decieve you fair children! 'twill be a short'un but nevertheless, a blog to make up for my absences!

First up, a few select cuttings from that wholesome publication The Metro, the LPBS croo paper of choice.
"'Beast' revealed to be a mountain lion"
Well I can't say I'm totally shocked. Aardvarks are hardly violent animals, so the agents would of course be ferocious creatures. Yes, that would be it!
Next, a short article, but one that should get you computer savvy people watering from the organs of love:
"Wanted: Terrorist website designer
AN IRAQI terrorist group has launched a competition to design its website and is offering the winner a chance to fire missles at a US army base. Sunni Muslim group Jaish Al-Taifa Al-Mansura posted the message promising the winner the chance to launch three long-range weapons from their home computer"
Now that's a prize! Better than a cut-crystal decanter and glass set any day.
Finally, a jovial one from days gone by about a snowy day in Germany:
"It's snow use trying to hide
A THIEF who slid under a parked car to siphon its petrol was run over when the driver returned and mistook him for a pile of snow. Gunther Harthof, 35, lay trapped as the owner drove backwards and forwards in a bid to free his car. The thief was rescued by a fire crew and taken to hospital in Munich"
Right. Fun?

The metro! Ah, I haven't read it all week. There are some brilliant stories, and the pictures. Did anyone read the one about the dog and his little friend the owl? Aw, it was SO CUTE!

The Metro also had a small story (with a picture) about a horse stuck in a well.
