Weird News of the Day
RAVENNA, Ohio - A woman arrested for breast-feeding while driving is appealing to a higher authority. Catherine Nicole Donkers says she wants the Bible to be the law, when she goes on trial today. She was busted in May when a trucker called 911 to report a woman breast-feeding her baby while behind the wheel. Donkers doesn't deny she was nursing her baby on the Ohio Turnpike, but contends she was improperly charged. She and her common-law husband are members of the First Christian Fellowship for Eternal Sovereignty. They take a dim view of government authority and believe it's wrong to require people to have driver's licenses, Social Security numbers or marriage licenses.

Fact of the Day
Without any greenhouse effect, Earth would be cold and lifeless with an average temperature of 0.4 degrees Fahrenheit (-17.6C).

Edit: Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] ursamajor for pointing out the really stupid math error I made heh.

*snort* catherine nicole donkers is a bloody idiot - we have separation of the church and state for a reason. or, at least, we used to. with the panic over canadian gay marriage down here and the bible thumpers attempting to make it a question of morality, well :P

also, that fahrenheit/celcius calculation is just plain wrong - 0.4f is -17.55c; -31.8c is -25.24f :) </geek>

Heh, yeah. They also blame it on the growing 'in your face' of gay culture that is turning people off and more towards the bible.

Heh, you're right it is wrong. I messed it up. When you mentioned it I looked at it and wondered what the hell I was thinking hehe. I had reversed the formula in my head it seems. There's a reason you're supposed to check your work heh.
