"I think Gordon Brown should launch an investigation into just what is happening here. If the source of the soul can be found, and some souls are discovered to be superior to others, then this could be another source of revenue for the Government. After all, they (over) tax everything else!"

In one celebrated case uncovered by Professor Schwartz's team, an 18-year-old boy who wrote poetry, played music and composed songs was killed in a car crash. A year after he died, his parents came across a tape of a song he had written, entitled, Danny, My Heart Is Yours.
In his haunting lyrics, the boy sang about how he felt destined to die and donate his heart. After his death, his heart was transplanted into an 18-year-old girl - named Danielle.
When the boy's parents met Danielle, they played some of his music and she, despite never having heard the song before, knew the words and was able to complete the lyrics.
fwd this to everyone you know!!!!

It has already been proved that hearts have their own residual brain, that is why people often take on the idiosyncrasies of the donor.

Maybe Lydon used one on him; that would explain his inability to distinguish between John Lydon and three of his associates.

Labour MP for Perry Barr in Birmingham, Khalid Mahmood, said: "Weapons like this are absolutely disgraceful and there is no reason at all why people should be walking around the streets with them.
"There should be high-profile operations and high-profile arrests against anybody caught with them. The way to tackle the wider issue of knife crime is with effective community policing, which the West Midlands force does very well.
"The Met could pick up on the lessons from West Midlands Police in its excellent community work in places like Handsworth, Aston and Lozells."

The WASP Injector Knife is ideally used as a: - Diving Knife - Hunting Knife - Tactical Knife
What is a tactical knife, he asks, fearing he already knows the answer.
― Ned Trifle II, Monday, 21 July 2008 16:37 (fifteen years ago) link
omfg...
It is silent when used and highly effective in close quarters urban combat. The WASP is ideally suited for:
* Special Ops Troops (Land or Sea) * Downed Pilots Stranded In Open Water or Remote Forests * Military Survival Kits * S.W.A.T. and Special Police * Security Guards
SECURITY GUARDS!

And in other news, why I hate the DM distilled into one comment...
Under the headline 'English in Portimao to Protect Secrecy', the newspaper Correio da Manha claimed two Leicestershire officers tried to stop information - including results of a DNA test on a sample from the McCanns' Renault Scenic hire car - from being made public. ------------------- If this is true there is something very dark going on, let's hope the real truth emerges soon. Chris - I SO agree with your statement. If these DNA results are so unimportant, why the need to try and prevent the public from ever seeing this? I pray Madeleine will be found safe, but my fear has always been she died that night - if she did, she is safe now in the loving arms of God.

Bodies of the dead not being buried in echo of Winter of Discontent as effects of credit crunch spread across Britain
Apart from the fact that people receive the money after the burial and therefore bodies of the dead are being buried this story is completely true.
