I Slay: Prince’s Passport Photo Is Flyer Than Yours

Prince Shares Epic Passport Photo It’s a rare occasion that any of us take an id photo that we’re actually proud of. But not Prince . In fact, the R&B legend’s ID photo game is so flawless — in all it’s perfectly eye-lined and lip-glossed glory — that he decided to flaunt his flyness to his millions of Twitter followers late last week. It follows all the same guidelines that passport photos outline…but simultaneously tells the agent checking it to bow down. Via Time : While most people have to learn to live with passport photos that make them look like deer caught in the headlights, Prince is not most people. The Purple One recently posted a picture on Twitter that he claimed is the current snapshot for his international travel permit, and it’s pretty flawless to say the least. While Prince presumably had to get his passport updated in order to travel for his upcoming “Piano & A Microphone” tour in Australia and New Zealand, there’s no reason he had to make the rest of us look so bad. In fact, the 57-year-old singer isn’t even adhering to the State Department’s criteria for a neutral facial expression, as he is clearly giving his best Blue Steel. Now that we know that’s allowed, our next passport pics are sure to come out exactly like this. Maybe we’ll go get professional headshots for our next passport pics as well…and serve a face.

Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard Return to Central America For Missionary Work

Well, this is unexpected. Just a few days ago,  Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard refunded money to fans who felt that they’d been scammed out of donations that were meant to fund the couple’s non-existent missionary work. Then, last night, the Dillards took to their personal blog to refute claims that they’ve permanently returned to Arkansas: Yes,  Jill and Derick announced that they’re headed to El Salvador (Again!) with the above photo and the following statement: “We had a great visit recently to the States and as always it was a little hard to say goodbye! We are headed back to Central America. In the weeks ahead language school will become much more intense as we work to become fluent in Spanish. “It will be many months before we are able to make a short visit back to the States again. Here’s a few pics as we left this weekend. Please keep praying for us—we are praying for you!” Jill and Derick’s last “short visit” home went on for so long that it was rumored they’d been deemed unsuitable for missionary work . It’s worth noting that they still have yet to deny that rumor, which means it’s likely that Jill and Derick  were  turned down by the International Mission Board , and decided to simply fund the trip themselves. The Dillards still have yet to complete any of the educational coursework that was required of them (language school is not on the list), so it’s unlikely that the IMB and the Southern Baptist Convention simply had changes of heart. In any event, we’ll see how long Jill and Derick last in Central America this time around. View Slideshow: Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard Photos

Bird Behavior: Carrier Pigeon Caught Smuggling These Illegal Narcotics Into Costa Rican Prison

Carrier Pigeon Caught Trying To Smuggle Drugs Into Prison Prison guards in Costa Rica caught a pigeon with a bag of drugs attached to its chest in a bizarre attempt to smuggle drugs to inmates. Via Boston News Times : Officers at La Reforma prison captured it with 14g of cocaine and 14g of cannabis stuffed into a black pouch which camouflaged against its dark feathers. They have previously caught other animals such as cats and iguanas trying to transport drugs into the prison in San Rafael de Alajuela, local websites have reported. The guards spotted the bird on Tuesday afternoon as it flew towards an open area of the medium security La Reforma prison, Teletica reported. Prison director Paul Bertozzi said: ‘They observed the bulge on the animal so they captured it and confirmed that it carried a bag with zipper – and the drugs were inside… It seems the dove was trained for it.’ The pigeon was examined by experts at the ZooAve Animal Rescue Centre who said the bag it was carrying caused some damage to its digestive system. Reports from Costa Rica suggest it will be kept in quarantine for at least 40 days because they believe it will return to where it came from if they release it. The head of the centre was ‘stunned’ by the incident and said it would be well looked after at the centre. The prison is now investigating who was responsible for the drug-smuggling attempt. Paul Bertozzi added: ‘We have a warning that this method can be used again as it is not the first time in the history of La Reforma that a pigeon was detected with drugs.’ Move that dope by any means necessary!

Fair Or Too Foul?? This Airline Will Begin Weighing Passengers For ‘Flight Safety’ Before Take Off

Uzbekistan Airlines Will Begin Weighing Passengers For Flight Safety How would you feel if you were asked to be weighed before boarding your next flight?? Via TIME Magazine : Uzbekistan Airlines announced a new policy that involves weighing passengers shortly before take off. A statement by the airline announced a decision to install a “special weighing machine” at departure gates, where passengers would be weighed along with their luggage. “According to the rules of International Air Transport Association, airlines are obliged to carry out the regular procedures of preflight control passengers weighing with hand baggage to observe requirements for ensuring flight safety,” read a statement posted to the airline’s webpage. A spokesperson for the International Air Transport Association denied any knowledge of a regulation that would require passengers to stand on a scale, adding in a statement to CNN that airlines normally calculate passenger loads as a mathematical average, rather than a precise, personal measurement. It’s bad enough that airlines are putting on extra fees for just breathing on a plane but now this?!? Continue reading
