Well I’m glad to see the United States isn’t the only non-Muslim country with a jittery religious kook bin.  They’ve got it bad in Norway too, of all places.  First it was the zoo.  No…not the kook zoo…the one in Oslo…<\/p>\n

‘Gay Animals’ Exhibit Angers Conservative Christians<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

(Oslo) Oslo’s internationally acclaimed Natural History Museum is being assailed by Norwegian church groups over an exhibit called "Against Nature" which shows same-sex animal pairs.<\/p>\n

The exhibit documents homosexuality among penguins, parrots, giraffes, whales and other animals and insects. A translation from Norwegian into English of a statement at the exhibit says   <\/p>\n

"We may have opinions on a lot of things, but one thing is clear — homosexuality is found throughout the animal kingdom, it is not against nature."<\/p>\n

The exhibit opened Thursday features a photograph that attracted considerable attention of two sexually aroused whales rubbing together. Another shows two male giraffe’s engaged in sex.<\/p>\n

"The sexual urge is strong in all animals. … It’s a part of life, it’s fun to have sex," exhibit organizer Geir Soeli told the Reuters news agency.<\/p>\n

But conservative Christian groups are accusing the museum of displaying pornography.  One evangelical pastor said museum directors should burn in hell.<\/p>\n

The exhibit was partially funded by the government and church groups are demanding an investigation into how the grant was made.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Next thing you know they’ll be picketing the natural history museums that dare to tell their visitors that the earth isn’t really flat…right?  <\/p>\n

Wrong…<\/p>\n

Aimless youth embroiled in lav affair<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

NORWAY has become embroiled in a dispute over toilets and the nature of masculinity.<\/p>\n

The matter blew up because a primary school headmistress tried to ban boys from urinating while standing up.<\/p>\n

Anne Lise Gjul, the head of a mixed primary school in the southern Norwegian city of Kristiansand, wanted to introduce the ban after complaints from cleaners that many boys could not aim properly.<\/p>\n

The measure has upset right-wing Norwegian politicians, however, who say it blurs a God-given distinction between the sexes.<\/p>\n

"If boys are not allowed to pee in the natural way that they have done for generations, then it amounts to an assault on God’s creations," thundered Vidar Kleppe, the head of Norway’s Justice and Order party.\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Happy Monday.  There isn’t a crazier thing you’ll see all week then a bunch of Norwegians thumping the bible for the god given right to pee standing up.  And you thought they were bad here in America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
