I am bC, and here is the day’s news…

Two vehicles were involved in a frightening head-on collision on Trafalgar Road in New Kingston on Thursday morning. Eyewitnesses report that at about 7:45 a.m., a black vehicle, which was in the possession of a construction worker, was heading towards Knutsford Boulevard, when a red vehicle sped onto Trafalgar from Haughton Terrace and caused a head-on crash. An argument ensued between the two men, which ended when one of the men sped off. Neither man was injured, but both bicycles suffered minor damages.

One Beijing man refused to allow anything to prevent him from watching the World Cup. As was the case last Monday, ‘anything’ turned out to be his burning home. A fire broke out in a hutong in the center of the Chinese capital at 3am local time Wednesday – the kickoff time for the match between Spain and France, and a match which France ultimately won 3-1. The man’s wife reports that she threw on her nightclothes and rushed out of their home carrying their young child. The man, however, grabbed his television and rushed outside to find the nearest socket. When asked during the game about the state of his wife and child, the man replied, “Well they’re behind by two goals, but there’s still time left!”

Russian president Vladimir Putin's decision to stop a small boy as he walked through the Kremlin and kiss his stomach was prompted by a desire to "touch him like a kitten," the Russian president said on Thursday. Putin had gone to speak with a group of graduates from various military academies. After the talk, he proceeded to meet and greet persons in the Kremlin’s courtyard, which was filled with tourists. Putin eventually came across 5-year-old Nikita. “What is your name?” the president asked, as he knelt in front of the boy. The president then lifted the boy's shirt and kissed him of the stomach. Finally, he stood up, removed a pair of white gloves from his pocket, and whispered, “Who’s bad?” in Nikita’s ear.

Putin's lucky he's President of Russia and not USA nor Ja. He'd be arrested for child sexual abuse in USA and plenty 'Fya Bun' would rain on him in Ja.

I'd lock my husband away too if he kept interrupting my viewing of the game :)

LOLOL!
Ok in the man's defence, he was probably asked how is family was doing, so he answered truthfully.

In Putin's defence: CNN = LIE...but that's as far as that defence goes. Otherwise he just might be a bit deranged :S
