Sounds more like the title to a bad movie, or something rather than a real headline, but there it is in Philly:

Catholic High School Girls Pummel Man Who Flashed Them and then of course the same story from the Philly Inquirer

A Poetry by Nichita Stanescu
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another Kind of Mathematics

We know that one times one is one,
but an unicorn times a pear
have no idea what it is.
We know that five minus four is one
but a cloud minus a sailboat
have no idea what it is.
We know that eight
divided by eight is one,
but a mountain divided by a goat
have no idea what it is.
We know that one plus one is two,
but me and you, oh,
we have no idea what it is.

Oh, but a comforter
times a rabbit
is a red-headed one of course,
a cabbage divided by a flag
is a pig,
a horse minus a street-car
is an angel,
a cauliflower plus an egg
is an astragalus.

Only you and me
multiplied and divided
added and substracted
remain the same...

Vanish from my mind!
Come back in my heart!


english translation by George Mustea.
For those of you who like creepy stories about people from long long ago . . .

Vlad the Impaler, the Romanian Prince also known as Dracula
And if that doesn't slake your thirst, here's even more on Vlad Tsepesh

Finally, the accounts of blood baths taken by Elizabeth Bathory are thought to account for part of Bram Stoker's tales of horror. This lady was pretty gakked up . . .
