 Posted Jun 18, 2009 by Clive the flying ostrich: Thingite Warlord Emeritus. A man is beaten to death in a busy market square in Nigeria. Of what crime was he accused?
No googling, Wikipedia etc. There are klaxons, naturally: so be bold; preferably interesting; never obvious.

 Posted Jun 18, 2009 by Clive the flying ostrich: Thingite Warlord Emeritus. Why are people usually beaten to death ... or is that a little too much like klaxon-baiting?
Perhaps I should have asked why are people unusually beaten to death?

 Posted Jun 18, 2009 by Milla [Love your enemies. It will drive them crazy] AWESOME site this... Flattening iron on the laptop keyboard is a bad idea, trust me. He neglected to haggle with the vendor, thus insulting traditions and also ruining the price levels for the local buyers.
