A horse walks into a bar. The bartender comes up and says "Hey pal, what will it be?"
The horse orders a beer.
A few minutes later, John Kerry walks in and sits at the bar. The bartender walks up and says "Hey pal, cheer up. Why the long face?"
I'll stop if you guys will donate and get us over our fundraising goal

If she was trying to cast a spell whereby her house would burn down, she's a success!

It's when I read stuff like this that I understand why socialism is so strong. Ignorance is strength.

The ambulance service said she had told them she was trying to emulate the boy magician, hero of the books by J K Rowling that have been a sensation among adults and children alike.She's 21-freakin'-years-old! Not only was she stupid enough to try this stunt, she was too stupid to come up with a cover story that doesn't make her look like a complete moron. Unless, this is the cover story....

Hmmm... considering Harry's own attempts in Potions class, perhaps she imitated her hero a little too well...
Come on! 21 years old? This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of.

An 8 year old would be understandable but 21?
She needs therapy and to be kept away from Thomas Harris novels.
*shudder*
