This is one of the most bizzare things I have read in some time, and they say girls are not crazy! Women! Women! Damn You women!

From BBC

"Officials in the US state of Massachusetts are investigating how 17 teenage girls from the same school have become pregnant. The number is four times as high as the year before at Gloucester High School. There are reports that some of the girls - none of whom is older than 16 - entered into a pact to have their babies together.

The girls and their families have so far made no comment. Officials are also investigating the ages of the fathers. Some are believed to be in their twenties and could face the possibility of being charged with having sex with minors. When students at Gloucester High School broke up for the summer, officials, parents and the whole community had to face up to a shocking statistic. Seventeen teenage pupils had walked out of the school gates pregnant. More disturbing is that some of the school's own staff believe that this was no accident.

Local officials say that nearly half of the girls had entered into a bizarre pact to have their babies together. The school principal says that several students returned multiple times to take pregnancy tests and some appeared upset when they found out they were not pregnant. The school - which has 1,200 students - carried out 150 pregnancy tests in the past year alone. "

What is wrong with you women! Go get a Cabbage Patch Kid!

From BBC Website:

"Single workers at one of Iran's major state-owned companies have been told to marry by September or face being fired, Iranian newspapers have reported. The Pars Special Economic Energy Zone Company employs thousands of people, mostly young men, on Iran's Gulf coast. Being married is a job requirement, a directive from the company is reported as saying.

Correspondents say the ruling appears to be an attempt to reduce the number of prostitutes working in the area..The company controls Iran's large network of gas and petrochemical facilities around the coastal city of Assalouyeh on the Gulf coast.

Its directive, according to the Etemad newspaper, says that despite requests "some of our colleagues did not fulfil their commitments and are still single". It continues: "As being married is one of the criteria of employment, we are announcing for the last time that all the female and male colleagues have until September 21 to go ahead with this important and moral religious duty."

In the same vein, the governor of the eastern province of North Khorasan ruled recently that only married people would be hired for official posts in the region. Economic difficulties in Iran have led many people to postpone getting married, despite sexual relations being illegal outside marriage."

OK, why would hookers gather around that area in particular or do employees of the company moonlight as hookers?

Clinton will quit and back Obama.Hillary Clinton has seen her opponent maintain his lead. Hillary Clinton will withdraw from the race to become the Democratic candidate for the US presidency, and back her rival Barack Obama, her campaign says. On Tuesday, Mr Obama gained enough delegates to win the nomination, after the final votes of the primary season. Mrs Clinton has still not admitted in public that she lost the contest, but on Saturday she will do so "and express her support for Senator Obama".

Now the real battle starts, well not really a battle, McCain will win.
