It takes true courage to be a dove, but no honor accrues to being an ostrich

A man has claimed that killing his pregnant teenage sister was an honor crime (murdering a woman that shamed her family).

Later, LBCI television reported that the investigation revealed that he had raped his sister, which lead to her pregnancy.

“He confessed to raping his sister,” LBCI said, apparently Jihad was drunk when the incident happened.

He had recently found out that she was pregnant and asked her to have an abortion - refused.

I suppose there are also, what, vampires…

“Don't stop there. I suppose there are also, what, vampires and werewolves and zombies?"
"Of course there are. Although you mostly find zombies farther south, where the voudun priests are."
"What about mummies? Do they only hang around Egypt?"
"Don't be ridiculous. No one believes in mummies.”

You know that old saying. Once you go dead, no one's better in bed.

Get your garlic, crosses and stakes ready: a bloodsucking vampire is on the loose.

Or so say villagers in the tiny western Serbian hamlet of Zarozje, nestled between lush green mountain slopes and spooky thick forests. They say rumors that a legendary vampire ghost has awakened are spreading fear - and a potential tourist opportunity - through the remote village.

A local council warned villagers to put garlic in their pockets and place wooden crosses in their rooms to ward off vampires, although it appeared designed more to attract visitors to the impoverished region bordering Bosnia.

You must excuse me, but I have already dined. And I never drink wine.
Gary Oldman - Bram Stoker's Dracula

Mama, Mama, help me get home
I'm out in the woods, I am out on my own.
I found me a werewolf, a nasty old mutt
It showed me its teeth and went straight for my gut.

Mama, Mama, help me get home
I'm out in the woods, I am out on my own.
I was stopped by a vampire, a rotting old wreck
It showed me its teeth and went straight for my neck.

Mama, Mama, put me to bed
I won't make it home, I'm already half-dead.
I met an Invalid, and fell for his art
He showed me his smile, and went straight for my heart.

From A Child's Walk Home," Nursery Rhymes and Folk Tales (Lauren Oliver)

If only we could find a way of telling the truth without anyone knowing what actually happened.
