Lilliput - sorta...
Dwarves found 'theme park' commune to escape bullying
A community of dwarves has set up its own village to escape discrimination from normal sized people. The group has turned itself into a tourist attraction by building mushroom houses
Everyone in the mountain commune in Kunming, southern China, must be under 4ft 3 ins tall and they run their own police force and fire brigade from their 120 residents.
Now the group has turned itself into a tourist attraction by building mushroom houses and living and dressing like fairy tale characters.
"As small people we are used to being pushed around and exploited by big people. But here there aren't any big people and everything we do is for us," said spokesman Fu Tien.
The idea of housing dwarves in special compounds would be anathema in the West, and the village has sparked fierce debates among expats living in China.
"When I first heard this I pictured myself obscure freak shows from a hundred years back," wrote one commenter on the GoKunming website. "Pay the entrance fee and you can watch these people perform."
But others said that it was the dwarves' best chance of employment given the surplus of labour in China.
"We might feel aghast at treating humans this way but this is the best way the Chinese government can deal with the situation right now," wrote Tonyaod.
"Go back a hundred years or so in our culture and we will see that we did the same thing à la the freakshows and the circus."


Does it get more magical? The answer is simply, "of course not. This is as wonderful as it gets."

Curious as to how long it took me to find this picture? It is the actual picture of the dwarves in their commune.

It's like Under the Rainbow meets Gulliver's Travels.

I watch you. Frequently.

Clue envelope reveals: Med Student in the garage with a sword

Baltimore-

Baltimore police say a Johns Hopkins University medical student armed with a samurai sword killed an intruder in his garage.
Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi says campus police and an off-duty city officer responding to a call for a suspicious person heard screams to call police around 1:20 a.m. Tuesday.
Guglielmi says the student told the man he found in his garage to leave and the man accosted him. That's when Guglielmi says the student defended himself, cutting off the man's hand and causing a severe laceration to his upper body.
He says the man died at the scene, but police are not yet releasing his name.
Police are interviewing the student and others and are talking to prosecutors about whether to file charges.

So...nobody administers first aid to the nub? It wasn't like he cut his head off. This guy sucks at robbing people. But this med student sucks at saving lives. Maybe he hasn't taken the hippocratic oath yet...I wouldn't know.

One thing I do know. This med student is a level 4 Warlock with mean intentions and +8 attack.

Mustache Monday

There couldn't have been "Private Eyes" without Oates. And 80's fashion sense couldn't have been more regrettable without mustaches.

What a tosser...

Madeira Beach- A 41-year-old man who witnesses said had been drinking since 9 a.m. was arrested Monday afternoon after authorities say he created a disturbance by pretending to drown and throw jellyfish on teenagers.
Keith Edward Marriott, of 100 154th Ave. in Madeira Beach, faces charges of disorderly intoxication and carrying a concealed weapon after a pocketknife was found in his shorts, Pinellas County sheriff's deputies said. Marriott repeatedly submerged himself and floated to the surface, "causing concern for his safety," and was "loud and disruptive," according to a sheriff's report.
Then he started throwing sea creatures.
Marriott, who is listed on arrest reports as working for a brokerage company, was being held at Pinellas County Jail in lieu of $250 bail.


Try as you might...this may be one of the best stories I have read this year.
