[size=18]Dear customer: you owe us $211 trillion[/size]

Most of us know what it's like to receive one of those "your account is £X overdrawn and unless we get the cash by noon tomorrow we're going to sell your kids for scientific experiments and break your mother's arms and legs" letters, so spare a thought for Joe Martins of Cobb County, Georgia, who was rather surprised to learn that he owed Wachovia Bank a cool $211 trillion - 70 times the entire US federal budget.

Martins had apparently closed an account with Wachovia and "made good on an outstanding check", as Atlanta's WSBTV explains. However, a swift letter from the bank insisted the closing balance was $211,010,028,257,303 in the red - with "no cents", as Wachovia kindly pointed out.

Martins reasonably explained: "I open up the letter and I look at it and I'm like, 'No, you've got to be kidding me'."

Wachovia also informed Martins that it was reporting him to an "agency that rates risky bank customers". He noted: "I don't own $211 trillion but because it is automated and reported to check systems, I assume it will be reported to my credit at some point."

Happily not, because Wachovia assured Martin last week it hadn't reported him for his reckless spending, and blamed the cock-up on a "word processing error".

The bank's vice president David Oliver said: "We can certainly understand how our recent correspondence with Mr Martins about his account would be cause for great concern. I can confirm that there will be no adverse effect on Mr Martins' credit report related to the letter he received. Also, I can confirm that this was an isolated error specifically related to his account."

A British hospital has agreed to turn seriously ill Muslim patients' beds to face Mecca, as part of efforts to improve services for the Islamic community, a spokeswoman said Tuesday.

But if you don't like Muslims then all nurses up and down the country have been ordered to turn the beds of all Muslim patients to face Mecca five times a day:

The lengthy procedure, which also includes providing fresh bathing water, is creating turmoil among overstretched staff on bustling NHS wards.

An American man's attempts to cure an irritating skin condition backfired when his face turned blue.

Fair-skinned Paul Karason developed dermatitis as a result of stress 14 years ago and decided to treat it using silver extract.

The substance is usually consumed orally but Mr Karason also decided to rub it into his peeling skin to accelerate the effects.

According to the 57-year-old, the effect began so gradually that neither he nor he friends noticed the change at first.

He told US television that he is now so embarrassed about his condition that he has moved states and seeks to avoid public places.

Proponents say that colloidal silver, the substance Mr Karason says is responsible for his changing hue, can help boost the immune system and help prevent diseases. It has even been touted as a treatment for AIDS and cancer.

However, the US Food and Drug Administration has [url=http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/ANSWERS/ANS00971.html]rejected most of these claims[/url].

The FDA notes that use of colloidial silver can cause a condition known as argyria, an irreversible discolouration of the skin.

Looks pretty cool. I would have no problem looking like that. That colour anyway. ("Is it because I is silver?")

[size=18]Malaysia bans non-Muslims using the word 'Allah' [/size]

Muslims take part in Friday prayer at the National Mosque in Kuala Lumpur
Religious freedom is guaranteed under Malaysian law
A church and Christian newspaper in Malaysia are suing the government after it decreed that the word "Allah" can only be used by Muslims.

In the Malay language "Allah" is used to mean any god, and Christians say they have used the term for centuries.

Opponents of the ban say it is unconstitutional and unreasonable.

It is the latest in a series of religious rows in largely Muslim Malaysia, where minority groups claim their rights are being eroded.

A spokesman for the Herald, the newspaper of the Catholic Church in Malaysia, said a legal suit was filed after they received repeated official warnings that the newspaper could have its licence revoked if it continued to use the word.

"We are of the view that we have the right to use the word 'Allah'," said editor Rev Lawrence Andrew.

'Unlawful'

The Sabah Evangelical Church of Borneo has also taken legal action after a government ministry moved to ban the import of religious children's books containing the word.

In a statement given to Reuters news agency, the church said the translation of the bible in which the word Allah appears has been used by Christians since the earliest days of the church.

There has been no official government comment but parliamentary opposition leader Lim Kit Siang said the decision to ban the word for non-Muslims on security grounds was "unlawful".

"The term 'Allah' was used to refer to God by Arabic-speaking Christians before Arabic-speaking Muslims existed," he said.

Religious issues are highly sensitive in Malaysia, which has a 60% Muslim population.

Religious freedom is guaranteed in the law but minority groups have accused the Muslim Malay majority of trying to increase the role of Islam in the country.

Interesting comment on it here:

[size=18]Malaysia reverses Allah paper ban[/size]

The Malaysian government has reversed a decision to ban a Christian newspaper using the word Allah to refer to God.

The government had threatened to refuse to give the Weekly Herald a publishing permit if it continued to use the word.

In a fax to the Herald's editor, the government says it will get its 2008 permit, with no conditions attached.

Motorist banned for 10mph motorway crawl

Quote:

A motorist who crawled along a motorway in her car at less than 10mph was banned from driving today.

Stephanie Cole, 57, from Bristol, repeatedly slammed on her brakes as she straddled the hard shoulder of the M32.

On the back of her car she had affixed a sign saying: "I do not drive fast, please overtake."

When officers stopped Cole she told them she had "no confidence" on the motorway.

She was banned from driving for a week and told she must retake her test. She was also given a three-month conditional discharge and ordered to pay court costs of £35.
________________________________________
Cole, who had pleaded guilty to driving without reasonable consideration, told North Avon magistrates court that her GP had been treating her for "fear of driving" for the past three-and-a-half years.

She was travelling from her home to a Staples stationery store when police arrested her on August 30.

The officer had followed her as she drove between the hard shoulder and the motorway at speeds of less than 10mph (16km/h)

Dawn Killick, chairwoman of the bench, said the ban was imposed because they had serious concerns about her driving ability, for her own safety and for the safety of others.

Before sentencing Cole said losing her driving licence would mean she would have "no life".

She told the Bristol Evening Post that she had suffered from multiple sclerosis since she was 25 and relied on her driving licence to get around.
"I cannot walk any distance at all and rely on my wheelchair and my car," she said.
"I am too disabled to stand at a bus stop and cannot afford taxis on income support, so I have no alternative."

Its intresting to note how difficult it is to economically cater for the needs of both muslim and non muslim kids...

well I don't see why it should be...non-Muslims shouldn't have anything against eating halal meat (unless they're vegetarian but then they'd be against ALL meat); they don't give 2 craps about the treatment of their animals: just look at the chicken documentary last night..

the only people who could possibly object to having halal meat are doing so purely because it is 'Muslim' and they are Islamophobic people, there is no other logical reason.
