Pakistan gun attack 'injures six'

Unidentified gunmen have attacked Shia Muslim mourners in the south-western Pakistani city of Quetta.

At least six people were wounded in the attack, which was followed by two explosions, authorities say.

One report says that at least two people have been killed and several others injured.

The attacks come as Shia Muslims hold the traditional Muharram procession to mark the slaying of Hussein, grandson of the Prophet Mohammad.

2. I was just checking in before I went to bed

And I happened to come in on the exact minute that the other thread was posted. I don't know if I have insomnia, but I'm sure as hell glad that I have literally no work to do today.

5. Infighting.

Why are we hanging out where the national sport is killing each other?

They've been doing it for thousands of years (between very strict dictators) and it's always the choice they make.

Please, Daddy, can we go home now?
