A flurry of stories spotted while flying around this morning's reading. Discriminating: The Trinity Cross of the Order of Trinity, a cross-shaped medal of honor established by Queen Elizabeth, has been ruled unlawful because it "discriminates against non-Christians".
"A review of the British honours system by the Commons Public Administration Select Committee in 2004 recommended reducing the number of decorations from twelve to four, with the new proposed titles having no reference to the Cross or Christian saints."
Asked what he would do with the giant spider he caught this week, Mr Geiszler said: “I think I’m going to mount this one in acrylic to show people how big it is. It’ll make a great paperweight.”
Stultifying: CPSIA update: Despite earlier assurances to the contrary, it seems garage sales do officially fall under the over-reaching Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act. You are a retailer as far as the US Consumer Product Safety Commission is concerned.
"Maybe you didn’t really care about the law before because it was only putting small retailers and work at home moms out of business. Hopefully you will care about it now that you can be slapped with a $100,000 fine for selling your kids’ old books at a yard sale."
Clarifying: Dozens of funny signs from around the world. It's hard to pick a favorite, but this one's regrettably missing punctuation kept me chuckling for a while (with this one a strong runner-up):

I knew an unhappy man who thought he is Rev. John Ritter. I asked him why he's unhappy, and he said it's because he mounted a giant spider and rode it to church every week in Acrylic.
