I'll Text Your Head Off
click to enlarge
KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - A Malaysian man slapped his wife
on their wedding night and stormed out of their home after she
received a text message from an unknown admirer who
professed his undying love for her.
"Though you are married, I still love you," was the message that
flashed on the screen of the 19-year-old woman's mobile phone
just as the couple were about to enter their room at 2 a.m. on
Sunday, official news agency Bernama reported.
Her husband, 25, refused to believe the woman's statement that
she did not know who the sender was, hit her, tossed away the
phone and walked out of the house, the agency said on Monday,
quoting the Borneo Post newspaper.
Police on the rugged eastern island have arrested a man and
are investigating after the woman and her family complained
about the incident in a case that one official called unique in
his 33-year career.**
**Why is this unique ?
The couple are members of the Iban, a tribe of former
headhunters that lives in communal longhouses and makes up
about a third of the population of Borneo.

Brothers against Da Code
A Roman Catholic activist, Joseph Dias, began
a hunger strike on Tuesday which he said would be
continued until the film is banned.
"The Holy Koran recognises Jesus as a prophet. What the book says
is an insult to both Christians and Muslims," Maulana Mansoor Ali Khan,
general secretary of the All-India Sunni Jamiyat-ul-Ulema, told the
Reuters news agency.
"Muslims in India will help their Christian brothers protest this attack on
our common religious belief," he said.
His stance was supported by Syed Noori, president of Mumbai-based
Raza Academy, a Muslim cultural organisation that organises protests on
issues concerning Islam.
"If the government doesn't do anything, we will try our own ways of
stopping the film from being shown," he said. "We are prepared for violent
protests in India if needed."

Wonderboy halted
A four-year-old Indian child who last week ran 65 kilometres
(40.3 miles) in seven hours, has been banned by worried
welfare officials from running marathons.
The child welfare department of the eastern state of Orissa
announced the ban following a medical report that Budhia Singh
was "undernourished, anaemic and under cardiological stress".
"He will not be allowed to run long distance till all tests are
completed," child welfare officer R.S. Mishra told reporters in the
state capital of Bhubaneswar.

Nepal
Normally I would have given this article a cursory glance and moved
on, but recently Salona, a Nepali co-worker here in Houston headed
home to Nepal on a vacation - just as the bloody revolution started.
Then this bit in the middle caught my eye :
"Every successful revolution, from Castro in Cuba to Mandela in South Africa,
has had to face symbolising the struggle - someone willing to give their life
for the revolution, someone the people on the streets will die for.
But members of the opposition leadership in Nepal are so old they can barely
walk let alone lead a revolution.
Ever since 1990, when the people of Nepal first won their democratic rights,
the same politicians time and time again have, in the eyes of many Nepalis,
let them down."
