We still kill!
Saudi judge condemns 'immoral TV'
The most senior judge in Saudi Arabia has said it is permissible to kill the owners of satellite TV channels which broadcast immoral programmes.
Sheikh Salih Ibn al-Luhaydan said some "evil" entertainment programmes aired by the channels promoted debauchery.
Dozens of satellite television channels broadcast across the Middle East, where they are watched by millions of Arabs every day.
The judge made the comments on a state radio programme.

Bill Gates!
There will be tears, smiles and even the odd grimace as Bill Gates relinguishes his full time position at Microsoft,the good and not so good times will be remembered.
We are talking about a man who is only a gazillionaire.
17 July 1995 Forbes magazine named him the richest person on the earth,with a net worth just shy of 6.5bn pounds.
His wealth snowballed from then.
He finally graduated at Havard on the 7 June 2007.
Who said being at a learning institution makes life worthwhile.
This is only the start of a wonderful story.

Une petite mystery n'est pas!
Bush saying 'au revoir' in Paris
Was he ever gaffe prone!!! Bon chance!
George W Bush is not popular with the French people
US President George W Bush and France's Nicolas Sarkozy have emphasised the strength of relations between the two countries after talks in Paris.
The pair discussed a range of issues including Iran's nuclear ambitions and co-operation over Afghanistan.
But correspondents say the mood of the meeting was dominated by the extent to which France and the US see eye-to-eye.
Mr Bush is in Paris on the latest leg of his European tour, expected to be his last before leaving office.
The visit is seen as a sign of further reconciliation between the US and France, after tensions over Iraq.
On Friday, Mr Bush spoke with affection of the deep historic link between France and the US.
On Sunday morning he will travel on to the UK, where he is expected to meet Queen Elizabeth II and hold talks with Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
Not popular with French
Since taking office a year ago, Mr Sarkozy has made great efforts to build relations with Washington, which went into deep-freeze under his predecessor Jacques Chirac.

Flower Power
Its more than 40 years since Beatnik poet Allen Ginsberg coined the phrase Flower Power but florals have made a come back once again.
Labels like Balenciaga and Prada have snuffed out all hopes of floral being mumsy and have had them reworked into dramatic silhouettes and graphic prints in tiered chiffon.
Not in my entire life have i delighted in florals,don't own any biggie best curtains,don't intend to,let alone drape myself in them,strictly reserved for upholstery .

Peril that lurks on keyboards!
Computors could be dirtier than the average toilet seat.New research shows that keyboards are home to millions of bacteria which can lead to diarrhoea and sickness.Am i
shocked and horrified???
Dirty qwertys were found to be hosting bugs including e.coli, which can cause food poisoning,and staphylococcus aureus,cause of skin infections.
Microbiologists found the bugs after swabbing 33 boards, along with a toilet seat and toilet door handle.
