WTF Stories of the Week - Page 250

A girl violates the prom dress code because her dress is too short and shows too much cleavage.

Not unheard of right? They don't get into their senior prom and that's that?

How about they get paddled as punishment? Or get suspended for 3 days... and oddly enough 17 out of 18 chose to be paddled. High school seniors! (Alabama)

The prom dress is a bit on the short side and does show cleavage - but paddling the students because they broke the dress code? Really?

And it strikes me as odd that the article headline is about the girl that was suspended and not at all about the paddlings which I find more suprising.

That dress showed too much? When's the barn raising?

I would have ASKED for the paddling, regardless of what I was wearing

But that's me...

The videos are blocked so I can't see if it is already on the page. But if not, search YouTube for more of him and you can find an amusing video from an early minor league game a couple years ago when nobody really knew what to do and so he and the switch-hitter just kept switching sides.

Nope, it's real. I remember seeing an ad for the "E 60" piece a while ago.

I looked up rules on switch hitting. The only rule is that once you're in the batter's box and the pitcher is on the rubber, you can't change sides of the plate for that pitch.

Yep, that's the video that's on there.

Under cover of darkness, in the dead of night a small band of Somali pirates attack a ship west of the Seychelles.

Perhaps it would have been better had they waited for a bit of light.

The Ship was a Navy frigate. The USS Nicholas.

Doh!

Scratch one pirate boat and it's mother ship as well.

The story made me laugh

Some of the comments below the story made me want to cry. I really should stop reading comments from blithering idiots on blogs.

Adoption has a "no returns" policy. Okay, not really, but what was this woman thinking just putting the kid on a plane back to Russia without contacting the agency?
