[QUOTE=lalenin] Actually…, banana trees are used by farm boys in Cuba as a first sexual experience a lot. This was often joked about during school year, where farms boys were teased about it. As I understand it, and no I never tried it, you poke a hole more or less penis sized on the banana tree and go at it. Since the banana tree is more of a soft grass and very wet…, well you get the idea. [/QUOTE] Not that I am well versed in the arts of botanophillia, but I can imagine there have to be a hundred better fuck buddies in the produce section than a banana tree. ---

[QUOTE=Siam Sam] Hmmm. Four years for rape, but I just remembered that _lese majeste_ will get you something like 15 years. [/QUOTE] Yeah, that´s the first thing that popped in my mind; some fucked up priorities right there. Rape a woman: 4 years, criticize or insult the king: 15. :dubious: Sometimes I think about stuff like that and that my country doesn´t even have an embassy here and it gives me the hibbie-jibbies. ---

We get a lot of strange deaths, too. Here’s one from earlier this month that starts out: “A Roi Et man was yesterday found dead near his home wearing 15 brassieres and a short skirt that belonged to his estranged wife.” Story [here.](http://nationmultimedia.com/search/page.news.php?clid=3&id=30046009) ---
