      Moderators, did you even check the link?
      It has nothing to do with this story (it's about a woman stuck on a airplane-toilet)

  2. fp - Penis bird hunt by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I am a hapless traveler that hath heard
    stories afield that talketh of the existence
    of the lesser crested penis bird which doth
    abound in this forsaken domain. Forsoth I
    hath not cast mine eyes on one of these
    merry beasts.

    I pray that one of ye kind trolls that doth
    inhabit this dark domain shall showest me
    the rare penis bird in all its mighty glory?

    I bid you well kind trolls.

    Remember, the War was won so you too could work part time.

    H.G. Wells once wrote a story about a heartless, commercial society where all art was crass commercialism and the foulest entertainment of the lowest common denominator variety. Set in a future 1963, his publisher refused to print it saying:"No one will believe it".
