    This article. It's about 5 really weird crimes that are total mysteries, and haven't been solved. The first one is my favourite.

    Surgery. I know it's waaaaaay creepy... my friends accept it but they certainly don't share it

    The more bones they have to crush to get at something the better. Pituitary tumour removal = :)

    The Limerick database.
    Lots of limericks, a lot of them are pretty nerdy but that seems to just be how it happened, doesn't appear to be any rules on content.

    A few selected from the top scorers.
    There once was a buggy AI
    Who decided her subject should die.
    When the plot was uncovered,
    The subjected discovered
    That sadly the cake was a lie.
    if(computer.fail==true){
    background.setColor(blue);
    user.frown();
    sys.shutdown();
    user.scream("OH, **** YOU");}
    A UNIX saleslady, Lenore,
    Enjoys work, but she likes the beach more.
    She found a good way
    To combine work and play:
    She sells C shells by the seashore.
    A dying mosquito exclaimed,
    "A chemist has poisoned my brain!"
    The cause of his sorrow
    Was para-dichloro-
    Diphenyl-trichloroethane

    I could go on but since you're alll going to go there right now anyway and read them all I should stop

    The seminary provides food and accommodation and covers the academic costs. Each student receives an allowance to cover personal expenses such as books and clothes.

    If students have cars they are welcome to bring them to the seminary. There are also vehicles available to enable students to get to them to go to class, household shopping and pastoral activities.

    EDIT: Nope, I continued reading.
    Parish Priests are given a cash stipend of €00.000 per year and Assistant Priests are paid €00.000. This may seem like a small amount

    I normally hate fanfiction type stuff but I happened across this a few days ago on one of my favourite websites; Letters to an absent father. It's nice and touching for a comic.

    Half the credit has to go to the people who composed those originally. They're just so epic. They don't make 'em like that anymore :(

    10 or so anti-meth ads in this clip - they're really well done, should be shown in schools and stuff here imo.

    *Has never heard of Meth being used in Ireland*

    Now it would be naive to deny that there has ever been any usage, but I really have never heard of Irish meth usage........

    Oh I know that meth use is not as common here as other drug usage but that's not to say it doesn't happen - I've seen it.

    Meth is a HUGE problem in America at the moment aswell as in Asian countries, especially Thailand (it goes under the name of Yaba there).

    What's to say it won't ever become more of a problem here? If the public are clued up on meth, then there's a higher probability that it won't become a problem. It shouldn't be a case of waiting for the worst to happen before we start anti-drug campaigns. Also, people emigrate - perhaps to countries with more widespread meth usage where they will be more likely to come into contact with it.

    Anyway, I deviate. Basically it's an interesting video and a very effective ad campaign :p

    I've read the wiki article too....... >_>

    I dunno, I just kinda doubt it'll ever become a massive problem here considering how long it's been around and it still hasn't made much of an impact.......

    Still not attempting to say it cant/ definitely wont make an impact
