For those unaware of what this is, Pre-Christian Alpine traditions are the traditions of the peoples who inhabited the central and eastern Alps. Some of these traditions still exist today, especially in Austria, where during the Christmas [...]

Scotland Chainsaw Massacre
The world is more horrific than the movies. A 50-year old Hampshire man who was about the be evicted decided that cutting off his own head with a chainsaw was a more appropriate form of protest than, say, a tersely worded letter.
