Will a new cigarette-smoking ban spell the end of Amsterdam’s world famous ‘coffee shops’, where pot is the attraction and the coffee is just something to drink while you’re smoking your joint?

Shop owner Michael Veiling says he believes the coffee shop clientele are flexible enough to find a way around the ban.

HP Felzer, a Belgian auto parts supplier, has forbidden their workers to speak any language other than Dutch. Employees will be fired if they disobey the rule, and that even goes for their lunch breaks.

Geert Vermote, the human resources manager for HP Felzer, says they have employees from many different countries, and the new rule is to stop cliques from forming.

Considering that half of Belgium speaks French, this strikes me as rather odd. It would be like people that live in the northern part of the U.S. speaking English and people in the south only speaking Spanish. Can you imagine going into a Target or Home Depot some day and seeing bilingual signs?

Oh, wait. That’s already the way it is.

A woman in Israel accidentally bit off her boyfriend’s tongue, during a heated French kiss, on Thursday. Luckily, physicians were able to reattach the tongue. The man has been advised to sip cold drinks and “avoid wet kisses”.

Show of hands. How many of you believe that she ‘accidentally’ bit it off? Okay, you in the back with your hand up. You hear that horn honking? It’s the short bus waiting for you outside.
