Almost true

Arvon · 09-17-2004, 09:37 PM

All but one of the following are ture. They were taken from various news sources.

Almost All True
Three of these four things really happened, just recently. Are you cynical enough to figure out the made-up story? (Answer below.) (a) Identical male twins were revealed to be the registered owners of a Russian Web site devoted to nude photos of female Siamese twins. (b) A male nurse who had just pleaded guilty to lewd conduct with a handicapped boy was merely transferred by his employer (a California government agency) away from children, to work in its animal-care facility. (c) A distributor in Florida moved more than 10,000 units of a plastic toy premium (inside bags of candy) that depicts planes flying into the World Trade Center. (d) An Oregon couple pleaded guilty to several instances of punishing their two kids' bad behavior by allowing their pit-bull dog to attack them.

i think he meant "b." I can see how he was confused, as inside of b you see "(a California..."
Anyways, yeah, that's some messed up stuff. Who would punish their kids with a pit bull??

i said b,
strange that people would use pitbulls to punish their kids, why have children if they are going to do that?

That set of stories was found on 'The News of The Wierd' site. No I didn't check them out at their sources.
