06/25/2004: Stuff That Does't Suck Stuff That Doesn't Suck

Death curse for Tanzania ministers
from The BBC

A Tanzanian member of parliament has threatened to place a death curse on all ministers if the government does not do more to fight corruption.

Masoud Haroub Saidi said he was sickened by government corruption, which is said to be increasing and all other methods had failed.

He told parliament that he would use a Koranic verse to make ministers "drop dead" like locusts.

However, parliamentary officials would not let him carry out his threat.

Amen brother Saidi! Wish we had more men like you.
