#1 Hé hé, nice pic. Anyway, at least they're not 13th, I mean, that would have been bad luck, wouldn't it?

#5 That would explain why the Pakistani police are rioting against each other link

Hundreds of police from Pakistan's Punjab province went on a rampage against their Islamabad counterparts Tuesday to protest the death of a fellow officer.

About 1,000 Punjabis had been brought to the capital last week as reinforcements for a crackdown on radical militant clerics demanding the imposition of Islamic Sharia law and their madrassa school students. During the operations, a Punjabi officer was injured and later died, and his fellow officers claim the Islamabad police force did nothing to help him.

Several hundred of the 1,000 visiting officers went on a rampage, throwing stones and burning tires, and some chanted slogans from the madrassas they had come to raid. Several Islamabad police officers were also beaten in the protest.

The situation was brought under control when a senior police official from neighboring Rawalpindi arrived and calmed the Punjabi officers.
