DETROIT, Nov. 7 (UPI) -- A married Detroit man says he can't be accused of bigamy because he didn't say "I do" in a marriage ceremony to a second woman.  Eugene Pallisco, 44, testified Friday in Oakland County Circuit Court that his marriage to Lesley Keith, 38, was a sham and Keith knew it.  Keith, who now lives in Las Vegas, is suing Pallisco for damages in excess of $25,000 for emotional distress, the Detroit Free Press reported Saturday.

Witnesses contradict his "no I do" claim.  You see, you have to record everything these days.

From The Times of India:   LONDON: Believe it or not, one in 20 schoolchildren in Britain thinks that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler was Germany’s football team coach.  Not only this, a survey has also revealed that one in six youngsters believes Auschwitz is a World War II theme park while one in 20 thinks that the Holocaust was a celebration at the end of the war, the British media reported.  Twelve per cent of the children even believe Mc Donald’s Golden Arches are a symbol of Remembrance Day and 40% don’t know it falls on November 11, according to the survey.

The survey was conducted by a British war veterans' charity.  Gives us confidence in the British educational system, doesn't it?  But I'll bet those kids know that the 9-11 attacks were the result of legitimate grievances by oppressed people.
