OTTAWA (Reuters) - Immigrants wishing to live in the small Canadian town of Herouxville, Quebec, must not stone women to death in public, burn them alive or throw acid on them, according to an extraordinary set of rules released by the local council.

The declaration, published on the town’s Web site, has deepened tensions in the predominantly French-speaking province over how tolerant Quebecers should be toward the customs and traditions of immigrants.

Boy, I’m glad they cleared THAT up!

The pic is the only one from the movie I found that doesn’t have a young and curvy Jane Fonda showing off her pornalicious figure.

I don’t know if Global Warming could be cured if John Travolta gave up tooling around town in his 707 jet, but I have a feeling his planes pollute the sky more than a Humvee.

“He uses the 707 as the family van,” says Jumbolair developer Terri Jones. “The Gulfstream is his sports car.”

Why don’t we ban all private jets?

Link to blog and more pics on John’s planes.

Me, I think Global Warming is great, so I’m for keeping all private jets.

And finally, getting rescued from the seas of Antarctica:

OSLO (AP) — Nearly 300 passengers, including 119 Americans, were awaiting rescue Wednesday from a Norwegian cruise ship that ran aground off a remote Antarctic island, damaging its hull.

The M/S Nordkapp got off the rocks under its own steam and sought shelter in a nearby harbor, where it was awaiting the arrival later Wednesday of another Norwegian Coastal Voyage ship, the M/S Nordnorge, the cruise operator said.

The company said no one was hurt in Tuesday’s mishap in the Southern Ocean and the Nordkapp was not in danger.

Deception Island is a volcanic caldera open to the sea, located between the pointy end of Antarctica and the pointy end of South America, closer to Antarctica. The volcano is still active from time to time, and the sands of the beach are warm enough to take a warm bath, should you dig a hole in beach near the shore and let the cold sea water rush in and warm up by the geothermal heat. Neat, huh? Unfortunately, the passengers are too far away from the island to do anything but get ferried across to the twin vessel you see in the picture.

How would you like to be in a boat that got stuck on a submerged rock in the middle of the ass end of the world?
