I've been almost a month without a home computer. I'm going insane. My mother's still deliberating about what color to paint the bloody living room, where the computer's going to be.
This is quite possibly the funniest article I've ever read.
Reno, Nevada (AP)- The major of Las Vegas has suggested that people who deface freeways with graffiti should have their thumbs cut off on television.
"In the old days in France, they had beheadings of people who commit heinous crimes," Mayor Oscar Goodman said Wednesday on the TV show "Nevada Newsmakers."
Goodman said the city has a beeautiful highway landsacping project and "these punks come along and deface it. I'm saying maybe you put them on TV and cut off a thumb," the major said. "That may be the right thing to do."
Goodman also suggested whippings be brought back for children who get into trouble.
Another panelist on the show, state university system regent Howard Rosenberg, said cutting off the thumbs of taggers won't solve the problem and Goodman should "use his head for something other than a hat rack."
