Man Pleads Guilty to Stealing Enigma Machine

Adler writes: "A man has pleaded guilty to to 'handling' the stolen Enigma machine in the UK. Its a short piece, but says that some vital parts of the machine are still missing. A longer BBC News piece is here." You may remember when this was first stolen, then held for ransom, then recovered -- this is the mopping up part.

    the mets fucking suck.

    they had a 5-1 lead, but since that would mean they might actually fucking win, naturally the fat tub of crap benitez comes through and gives up 8 runs in the 9th. That was close the mets almost won!

    Seriously they fucking try to lose.

      I think they did it just to hurt the phils - it's like the mets know they won't make it, so they'd rather let it to be to a team that beat them, and not to a team that they beat

    The best is to take a burrito shell and fill it with mayonaise and wrap it around your penor.

    Then when you'r done you can it the evidence.

    One day i was eating a nice burrito and i was like hmmm i could fit my penor in that.

    So i tried it. But first i used cold mayonnaise, it was to cold.

    I tried hot sauce, baaad idea.

    The best is mayonnaise but microwave it till it's reached pussy warmth level.

    Then after you bust a nut in it, gobble it down and go to sleep.

    If you find better edible lube please post it.

    Maybe something more tasty.
