“U.N. Disarmament Body Taps Iran as Vice Chairman”
From Newsmax: This week, the U.N. Disarmament Commission re-elected Iran as its vice-chair, reports the U.S. Senate’s Subcommittee on Federal Financial Management, Government Information, and International Security on its official web site. A majority of U.N. member states decided to allow Iran to remain in this position despite the fact the U.N.

a post that hopes to capitalize simultaneously on a host of urban legends (from the protein wisdom conceptual series)
So I’m filling up at a gas station out by the hospital for the criminally insane, eating a Halloween apple, when I suddenly slice my tongue near in half on a razor blade some asshole neighbor’d tucked inside the thing.
