My question is why do these two have a show??

btw


I love the comments from 'Jersey' in that article :


And there was a point to this article that the general public was beating down the door to get to? Sometimes a little too much information is definitely a bad thing. Don't think many of the readers had a grand desire to share this touching moment between the twins.....and, sorry to say, but it is disgusting and should have been left untold.
 
Yeah, I guess it's worthy of being a story because they were once slightly famous. They were in a sitcom called Sister Sister.
 
...I imagine that they may have done it so as to get enough publicity from it to raise them from the 'D List' and to send them upwards to the 'A List' so that they can mingle with the likes of the Kardasians and Paris Hilton and the rest of those no talented no hoper tossers that the people in the USA seem to revere as superstars... they're a strange bunch at times... cheers.

15,000 crocs escape from South African farm

SOUTH Africa's army and police have been called in to rescue residents from thousands of crocodiles that escaped from a farm where the floodgates were opened due to torrential rains.

About 15,000 predators sprung from the Rakwena Crocodile Farm in the far north of the country when owners were forced to open the gates to prevent a storm surge, local newspaper Beeld reported.

A number have since been recaptured, but at least half remain on the loose, scattered far and wide.

Some turned up on a school rugby pitch 120 kilometres away.

The surrounding province of Limpopo has been hit by serious floods that have killed 10 people and made many more homeless.

"Before, there were only a few crocodiles in the Limpopo River. Now there are plenty," said Zane Langman, the son-in-law of Rakwena's owner.

"We go catch them when farmers phone us and say crocs are around."

Mr Langman earlier used a motor boat to rescue some local residents who had climbed onto the roof of a garage to escape the rising floods.

"When we arrived there, the crocodiles were circling them," he said.

The army has been called in to help track down the reptiles, according to police spokesman Hangwani Mulaudzi.

"Police, the army, and people from the community are assisting," he said.

No incidents involving crocodile attacks have been reported, he said.

Hundreds of kilometres downstream the Limpopo River floods have also savaged neighbouring Mozambique, where tens of thousands of people were being evacuated from their homes.

Look who's wearing the pants now

IT is now impossible for women wearing pants in Paris to be arrested.

That's right, previously if you strutted the streets of the French capital in pants you were risking the possibility of walking right into trouble, and into a jail cell.

Under the 200-year-old law, which has finally been revoked, women had to ask police for special permission to "dress as men" in Paris, the UK's Telegraph reported.

Those who didn't risked being taken into custody.

That is, unless "the woman was holding a bicycle handlebar or the reins of a horse" - according to amendments made to the law in 1892 and 1909.

There had been repeated attempts to repeal the law over the years, and it was officially overturned on January 31 by Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, France's minister of women's rights.

It took so long to get rid of the law as it "wasn't a priority".

However, when a member of the conservative UMP party protested on the basis the law "could injure our modern sensibilities", action was finally taken.

"This ordinance is incompatible with the principles of equality between women and men, which are listed in the Constitution, and in France's European commitments," Ms Vallaud-Belkacem said when repealing the law.

"From that incompatibility follows the implicit abrogation of the ordinance."

A seven-year-old US boy has been suspended from school after throwing an imaginary grenade in a make-believe game.

Alex Watkins was playing a game called "rescue the world" during recess last Friday at Mary Blair Elementary in Loveland, Colorado, when he threw an imaginary grenade into a box he pretended had evil forces inside, KDVR reports.
The young student said he was playing the role of a heroic soldier and was "trying to save people" by throwing the imaginary explosive.
But school administrators saw it differently, and reportedly suspended the boy for breaking one of the school's "absolutes", which include "absolutely no fighting, real or imaginary; no weapons, real or imaginary."
Alex, who was playing alone, said he was baffled by the suspension.
"I just can't believe I got dispended," he said, mispronouncing the word "suspended".
Alex’s mother Mandie Watkins said her son did not deserve to be punished.
"I think that when a child's trying to save the world, I don't think he should be punished for it," she said.
