Sure we can.

To claim the record the amateur stuntman wore eight layers of protective clothing, including four layers of fireproof undergarments, a Formula One fireproof jacket and three overalls.

He also wore three fire hoods and a helmet and coated himself in special protective "stunt gel" so he would not be harmed by the flames

I hadn't read the article yet but I'm disappointed to see that he didn't break the record accidentally. :sadpanda:

In other OTHER news:  POOL'S CLOSED

Preemptive Thad Edit: The article reports a Pennsylvania day camp for children that rents a pool from a private club.  Several black children were not allowed to swim in the same pool.  Racist comments were overheard.  Storms were shat.

I hope setting your self on fire isn't a standard custom for Scottish nurses, seeing as I may be one at some point in the not too distant future.

It's the last thing you do before you get your license.  Mom told me, and she's a nurse. :advice:

I think this is my cue to step up my search for a spit-take icon.

You're going to become Scottish? I didn't know you could do that.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

Ireland criminalizes blasphemy, potential fine of €25,000.

And here I thought Ireland was renowned for its religious tolerance.

Well god damn.

It's hard to get good information on this but it seems like the word "blasphemy" has a different connotation up there than it does :america:.  Here's the straightest definition I could get:

If the new law prohibiting publishing or uttering blasphemous matter becomes law, as proposed yesterday by Minister for Justice Dermot Ahern, they could face fines of up to €100,000 (maximum fine was dropped since this article was published - br) and have their homes raided by members of the Garda Síochána in order to seize the offending material.

For that to happen, a court will have to be satisfied the matter published is “grossly abusive or insulting in relation to matters held sacred by any religion, thereby causing outrage among a substantial number of the adherents of that religion”, and that the outrage was intentional.

Yes, the wording can be twisted such that the most excellent Richard Dawkins!!! could be sued for agitating the fundies (though if you poke around more you'll find there's a caveat for "works of artistic merit" or something of the sort, so probably not) but the intent of the bill overall seems to be an anti-Hate Speech sort of thing.  Nothing at all to get up in arms about, but I can see a bunch of Yanks ending up looking like wankers over it before all this tripe's been sorted out.

Then why didn't the articles just read "Ireland Criminalizes Religious hate speech"?!

Blasphemy is badmouthing anything holy, but they're just outlawing trolling based on religious beliefs.

And trolling on a large scale about anything should hold some sort of fine.

No, it's just reknowned for a shortage of Evangelicals. Ireland's big on Catholicism. Its primary television channel pauses at 6pm to remind viewers to pray the Rosary. Religious education is standard in schools. A priest or bishop is called out to bless new Aer Lingus passenger jets. Abortion is illegal.

Ireland's always been reasonable with Christianity, though. Schools still teach evolution, without protest from the religious folk.

The catholic church believes in evolution though, so I'm not really sure teaching evolutions is a great example.

Hahaha what? No, religion should never ever be covered under anything resembling hate speech laws. It is a choice, unlike race. It'd be like banning the trolling of liberals or something. This is stupid and probably violates some EU human rights law.

Slight development with the Valley Swim Club. The president of the club now blames safety and a poor choice of words.

Personally, I'm left to wonder why he didn't just say "That's too many kids" instead of that "Change the complexion" stuff, especially when they were supposed to have arranged this months in advance.
