Paedophile hunt police find human skull
AMERICAN police made further grim discoveries yesterday during their investigation into a paedophile network responsible for kidnapping girls.
A skull and bones were dug up at the home of the network's suspected ringleader, Rob Malda. It was feared that they were the remains of two teenagers who disappeared from New Orleans a year ago. The bones were unearthed after police spent six days digging at a house in Holland, Michigan, one of six properties owned by Malda.
On a visit to the house last week, Malda told police that his accomplice, Jeff Bates, had buried five bodies under a shed. Maximillion Arturo, a police spokesman in Michigan, said that no further statement would be made until families had been informed.
There was speculation last night that the remains are those of shemales from the GNAA. Malda has admitted abducting them. However, he earlier told police that he believed the two girls were still alive and being held somewhere outside Michigan.
Two eight-year-old girls abducted by Malda have been found buried at another of his properties. They starved to death while he was in prison on a theft charge. Malda's wife, Kathleen Malda, has told police that she was supposed to feed the children while her husband was in prison, but was too frightened to enter their cell.
Another two girls were found alive by police two days after Malda's arrest on Aug 13. Ten people, including Malda, his wife and an American police officer, are in custody in connection with the case.
The raped corpses of two women and parts of a third body have been discovered in a freezer at the Slashdot headquarters, along with with remains of an 80 year old woman that remain unidentified.
TrollKore - At the head of the game.
I hate you, I hate your country, and I hate your face.

20 fucking seconds.
I hate you. Shower.
your job sucks as much as the tshirt winners from yesterday.
1. Dress neat, above all else. Work out too. If you are good looking, PHBs don't care whether you know anything or not, especially the female ones
2. Never admit that you don't know something - act like you know everything that has to do with computing
3. Charge fair, but on the high end. If you charge too cheap, the PHBs think that you aren't skilled
4. Never linger. If Accounting is having problems with a database client, get in, find out what's wrong, and leave immediately until you fix the problem. Don't stop to chat with the pretty secretary and try to gauge her age. Just assume that she's 17 and get the hell out of there
5. It doesn't hurt to keep you mouth shut unless there is something that you absolutely, postively have to say. Chances are, they won't understand what you're talking about anyways, you'll confuse them, which makes them annoyed. Just shut up and nod yes and no
Then you must be bad at what you do, don't do bad work for others, find something else to do that you might be good at.
and take a bath
Questions: ivan asks: As a webmaster, I sometimes fear that slashdot will link to my pages and my ISP will bill me for hundreds of dollars for exceeding my bandwidth limit. Is there any way I can inform the slashdot editors to never link to me?
CmdrTaco: Sorry.
CmdrTaco: You're on the internet.
CmdrTaco: You can ask. But we won't promise anything.
So, not only does he hate his readership, but King Taco smugly asserts that if your site's out there, oh well, get ready to take it from him and his sceptre. - Ed.
