Rated R for Murder

Dammit. New Orleans' violent crime caused me to go ahead and get tagged with an R rating:



Why, oh why?

This rating was determined based on the presence of the following words:
* dead (7x) * murder (5x) * bitch (1x)

Bitch? I don't remember... ohhh. My blogroll.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Day

My ignorance prevents me from knowing what to make of this:

The city of New Orleans has celebrated a day in honour of Indian spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, in recognition of his distinguished services to humanity.

The New Orleans city council declared April 3 as 'His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Day' and the Art of Living founder was presented with the 'key to the city' by Mayor Ray Nagin at a function in the city hall Wednesday, according to a press release.

Apparently, he has an extensive collection of days in his name.
