  4. In Warsaw, Poland, a mother is suspected of having killed three of her children and putting them in the family freezer. The police were tipped off by a neighbor who claimed she saw no results of a woman who has been identified as "Lucyna D.'s" recent pregnancy. The woman has confessed to the murders, and says she hid them in the freezer because she "could not part with the bodies." Which is retarded, since she flipping murdered them. Some people are normal, but others, like this chick, are SICKOS!!!!!!!

  5. Polish government sighned a preliminary agreement in febuary.

Most of this would go to the Roman Catholic Church. Currently 21.3 million euros will be cut from state funding 80 percent of funding already comes from followers.

  10. Poland has one more freaking months worth supply of kosher meat. This ritual was banned by the Union of Jewish Religious Communities because they believe the kosher cows should not go through "unnecessary suffering." This was taken into action in January but talked about back in November.

  17. a doctor removes a screwdriver from a mans forehead---

    Dr Jan Kochanowic said the man fell and lost consciousness, but could not remember it. When he regained consciousness he said he had a pain in only his hand, before realizing his head hurt as well. He walked to his car and looked in the mirror and noticed a screwdriver in his forehead just above his right eye.
    The screwdriver was stuck about two inches inside the man's forehead. Dr Kochanowicz said the man smoked a cigarette before calling a neighbor who took him to a hospital. The screwdriver, luckily, did not damage the his eyes or brain.
