Heroin: How-To Handbook Not A Hit

2010-01-05T09:02:00.001-05:00

(NYCNBC.com)

It's dope for dummies.

A New York City-funded guidebook for heroin users is offering information on how to prepare drugs carefully and how to care for veins to avoid infection.

But the state's top official with the Drug Enforcement Administration called it a "step-by-step instruction on how to inject a poison."

DEA Special Agent-In-Charge John Gilbride says the handout is "very disturbing."

The 16-page pamphlet features helpful tips for dopeheads like: "Warm your body (jump up and down) to show your veins," and "find your vein before you try to inject."

Other tips include: "Only 'boot' once or twice in one shot."

The city's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene printed about 70,000 copies of the handout, which reportedly cost $32,000.

A health official says the goal is to promote health and save lives.

Assistant Commissioner Daliah Heller says instructions on how to perform injections were included because there is "a less harmful way to inject."

The illustrated guidebook also offers information on HIV testing and warnings on the dangers of sharing needles.

Here are some pages from the booklet...

"SHOPPING RAGE"

Police in Athens, Georgia, are looking for a woman who destroyed more than $1,000 worth of perfume at a store after being told she couldn't return items without a receipt.

The woman pushed over a display stand holding several hundred sample-size bottles of perfume, which cost $3.50 each.

A clerk at Joy Joy Beauty said the woman then stormed out of the store and drove away in a green van.

"HOOTERS FIELD TRIP"

(Originally reported by the Arizona Republic)

A Phoenix, Arizona, high school music teacher has been put on administrative leave after he took 40 of his students on a fieldtrip to a local Hooters.

Mary Segall and the students were heading toward a performance in downtown Phoenix when they stopped off at the adult themed restaurant for lunch.

Segall claimed that the restaurant was the only place that could accommodate a group of that size. The teacher had already made plans to retire in January.

"SANDWICH DISCOUNT"

(Originally reported by the AP)

A Lakewood, Ohio, restaurant is offering a lifetime discount for any customers who will get a tattoo of a grilled cheese sandwich.

The Melt Bar & Grille will give anyone with the cheesy ink 25% off of any meal.

The promotion involves a local tattoo parlor, which itself is offering a discount for the grilled cheese tat.

Chastity Belt for Dogs??

2009-12-15T14:59:00.001-05:00

(Asylum.com)

Isn't there something that can be done about dogs who awkwardly hump everything in sight? The answer is yes, thanks to PABS -- the Pet Anti-Breeding System which is essentially a chastity belt for your dog. No, for real.

The idea came to PABS inventor Dexter Blanch after he was shot by his dog. Literally, his dog shot him with a gun and he almost lost his arm.

Naturally, his mind turned to preventing unplanned canine romances,
and he invented PABS -- a belt and sanitary pad system that straps onto the lower half of your dog to keep him from procreating, while not interfering with any bodily functions thus ensuring comfort, safety and peace of mind for all.

Keep reading to watch a promotional video and please explain to us if this is legitimate or the best-executed joke we've ever seen.

Axl vs. Everyone: Part 210

2009-12-14T08:24:00.000-05:00

Axl Rose's reps have issued a statement about the scuffle that took place between the Guns n' Roses singer and a photographer at Los Angeles International Airport on Thursday night. The statement reads, "Mr. Rose, who was about to enter a security checkpoint when the altercation took place, was approached by a group of unchecked and unruly photographers who became aggressive with the singer and female members of the traveling group. [He] was not injured during the unprovoked attack and was able to board his flight without further incident."

A witness captured the scene on a video that seems to contradict that description. It shows a cursing Rose running over to confront a photographer, then landing a solid punch to the shutterbug's head.

You Need NEW Roomates When...

2009-12-11T08:38:00.001-05:00

(Mirror.co.uk)

A Chinese student appears to have been the butt of a somewhat strange prank following a nasty incident with a remote control.

Nineteen-year-old Huang Chen mystified medics when he turned up drunk at Hunan Hangtian Hospital in Changsha, complaining of unexplained pain from his rear end.

While being examined, the tipsy student turned over in bed, and inadvertently changed channel on the ward's telly.

Astonishing X-rays later revealed that the teenager had a TV remote control lodged up his backside.

Police say it was a part of a prank played by flatmates on Chen when he collapsed after a boozy night out.

"We didn't know what it was to start with. There was a little bit of blood but he didn't say anything about a remote control. We couldn't quite believe it when we saw the X-ray," said medic Dr Wei Lung Zhi.

"He will be fine in time but the remote was a write off," he added.

Wedding & Porn

2009-12-04T17:34:00.000-05:00

(The Sun/Asylum)

Lisa Brand and Tommy Barnes are a British couple (how can you tell?) who say they'll do just about anything to finance their "fairy-tale wedding." Yep, even porn.

The pair, who already have four children together, have raised about $2,400 toward their Cancun wedding by starring in four adult films. That works out to less than $400 per person per flick, which seems a little low to us, but the again, they probably don't have agents.

36-year-old Barnes says, "It's our five minutes of fame -- something to look back on when we're older. It has brought us closer together." Yes, that's about how long most people could stand to watch these lookers pouring hot wax on each other and getting spanked, two of the plot points in the porn movies in which they've already appeared.

Although we secretly admire the lovebirds' moxie, is it too much to ask that they spend some of their earnings on dental work?

Video Games Are GOOD For You!

2009-12-04T10:11:00.002-05:00

Playing video games certainly won't cure solve all of the world's problems, but those games are a much more positive force that they're given credit for.

Numerous scientific studies have shown that there are some real benefits to just plugging into a game and tuning out.

Here are some ways video games can improve your life:

1. Social Life -- Researchers who studied the players of the interactive game Counter-Strike found that complex group interactions were required to pull off winning moves. The researchers found "productive and healthy social behaviors" in this arena.

2. Eyes -- Staring at a screen all day doesn't necessarily kill your vision completely. In fact, researchers at the University of Rochester found that games (especially shoot-em-up games) can actually improve your ability to pick up on detail between 43 and 58 percent.

3. Heart -- Dance Dance Revolution kicked everything off by getting people moving. Now there's a Fitness Gaming genre that systems like the Wii have brought home.

4. Memory -- A study from the University of Illinois of people over the age of 60 found that gaming actually improves memory in older adults.

Thank you, but I won't make any attempt to dance, I have no coordination. I'd hate to look like a fool!

Gas Leak?

2009-12-01T09:28:00.001-05:00

"Pig farts spark Australia gas scare"

SYDNEY (AFP) – A flatulent pig sparked a gas emergency in southern Australia when a farmer mistook its odours for a leaking pipe, according to officials.

Fifteen firefighters and two trucks were called to a property at Axedale in central Victoria state after reports of a gas leak, the Country Fire Service said.

"When we got there, as we drove up the driveway, there was this huge sow, about a 120-odd kilo (265-pound) sow, and it was very obvious where the gas was coming from," said fire captain Peter Harkins.

"We could not only smell it, but we heard it and it was quite funny."

Harkins said the pig's owner was "a little bit embarrassed to say the least," and it took fire crews a little while to compose themselves.

"It was fairly obvious what it was. I think we dealt with it fairly professionally and had a bit of a giggle when we got back to the station," he told public broadcaster ABC.

WTF PETA?!?!?

2009-11-25T09:44:00.000-05:00

(If you are viewing this in Facebook, please go to WesStyles.Blospot.com to view the video)

Thanksgiving is more than just a day for turkey-lovers to stuff their faces with the delicious bird. It's also a day for animal-rights activists to convince turkey-lovers not to eat the bird. That's exactly what PETA is doing with their new ad, which N-B-C has refused to air during their broadcast of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Mouse vs. Duck

2009-11-23T09:05:00.000-05:00

(Asylum.com)

In a sign of just how stimulating it must be to work in the legal system down in Florida, some anonymous prankster has actually filed a lawsuit by Mickey Mouse against Donald Duck.

The real lawsuit against Mr. Duck was filed in Southern District Court at some point on November 18 for trademark infringement. While Mickey is being represented by Juan Abagado (you know, of Abagado & Abagado down on Candy Cane Lane), Donald chose to trust in an old friend by having Pluto serve as counsel.

The deputy clerk, Goofy, issued a summons and with any luck this whole issue will be settled out of court as it's likely going to go poorly for Donald if he shows up before the judge with no pants on again.

It's unknown who filed the case but with the attention they're now getting it seems likely this will inspire some additional creative litigation. Hopefully tomorrow we can let you know if Casper the ghost's family are filing a wrongful death suit against anyone.

Below is a copy of the paperwork:

With the economy still in the gutter, small businesses are turning to cheap, easy-to-produce cable-television ads to get their messages out. These local ads are becoming a growing trend and are almost always hysterical. None more than this ad for Jones' Big Ass Truck Rental and Storage.

Obnoxious Movie Goers

2009-11-20T08:28:00.001-05:00

It's Friday -- which means new movies are opening. And if you're someone who likes to go the movies often, you know that despite the huge screen and astonishing surround sound, the theater can be one of the most annoying places to be for two hours -- thanks to the nine most obnoxious moviegoers ...

9. The frequent urinator who sits in the middle of the row and gets up 10 times during the movie.

8. The seven-foot giant or big-haired Bertha. Yep, they will choose the seat right in front of you.

7. The lovebirds making out behind you -- making the kissing noises and kicking the back of your seat.

6. The loud laugher. Whether he/she laughs at the appropriate time -- or an inappropriate time -- their laugh is loud and annoying.

5. The loud eaters shoveling handfuls of popcorn into their mouths, crinkling bags, chomping on candy, and sucking loudly on straws.

4. The critic, who instead of just sitting and watching the movie, has to get all Roger Ebert on everyone.

3. The echo guy -- he feels compelled to repeat every line spoken in the film.

2. The terrible toddler. Whose bright idea was it to bring the kid to the non-G-rated movie?

1. Cell phone girl. She apparently missed the announcement asking that phones be turned off and was absent the day they taught manners, so little miss chatty chatterbox talks through the whole movie.

New Sex Tape Hotness

2009-11-18T13:58:00.002-05:00

Two former Miss Universe contestants have outdone the former Miss California with a sex tape of their own -- and they don't go it alone like the "biblically correct" beauty queen. In the vid making the Internet rounds, Miss Japan 2008 Hiroko Mima and Miss Trinidad and Tobago 2008 Anya Ayoung-Chee have a three-way with a professional photographer.

A rep from the Miss Universe pageant tells T-M-Z, "This was apparently eight months after the pageant and neither were the reigning titleholder. The photographer is NOT a Miss Universe staffer so we have nothing to say or any involvement ... thank goodness."

Now, I can't show the pictures or video on this site. I am sure that if you look on the net hard enough, you will find! Either way... at least check out the girls!

*They are the girls on the right and that's the luck SOB photographer*

Dumbest of the Dumb

2009-11-17T08:05:00.001-05:00

9. Earlier this month Andrew Burwitz from Appleton, Wisconsin was charged with reckless endangerment and endangering safety by reckless use of a firearm after attempting a drive-by shooting at the home of his ex-girlfriend's family. Only he forgot to wind down the window of his car first. The idiot.

8. In October this year, two bumbling burglars were arrested after drawing 'masks' on their faces with magic marker pens as a cunning disguise.

7. Another pair of not-quite-with-it thieves made off with computer equipment following a robbery in Rhode Island, only one of the teenage miscreants left his homework at the scene of the crime. It’s safe to say he got more than detention when the police caught up with him.

6. As well as your homework, another thing you don’t want to leave behind at the scene of a crime in a body part. Clearly no-one told this to the Alabama burglar who left part of his nose in a victim’s house after it was bitten off during a struggle with the homeowner. Police found the nose at the scene and soon sniffed out the culprit.

5. Not all stupid criminals are American. Honest. A Cambridge man was arrested in September after falling asleep on the job. The burglar stuffed items into a pillow case before deciding to neck a bottle of wine and have a nap on the sofa. He was found some time later by the homeowner who promptly called the cops. “After trying to rouse him we charged him with attempted burglary,” said the police.

4. Another Brit who made a schoolboy error while trying to get his hands on some spoils was Scarborough man, who tried to hold up a shop while wearing a motorcycle helmet as a disguise. The only problem was that across the front of his helmet his name was printed in large letters.

3. Cutlery isn’t the obvious choice of weapon when you’re planning a hold-up, as a Polish robber discovered last week. Bank staff in Poland burst out laughing when a would-be robber threatened them with a spoon, causing him to leave empty-handed.

2. A break-in suspect was arrested after falling through the ceiling of a London sandwich shop. The robber, who must have been really hungry, was found by police after the alarm went off and was charged with two counts of breaking and entering as he fell through the roof of a neighbouring shop too.

1. Back in 1989 a pair of teenage criminals from California were caught red-handed while trying to break into a parked car. While being pursued by police they decided to climb over a fence to escape, only the fence they scaled was that of the San Quentin prison. “Nothing like this has ever happened here before,” said Lieutenant Cal White. “People just don’t break in to prison every day.”

Dumb@$$ Warnings

2009-11-13T08:49:00.001-05:00

When manufacturers of certain products need to pass specifications to get their products on the market, one of the requirements is to put a warning label on the package.

These companies are trying to protect themselves from getting sued by trying to protect idiots from hurting themselves.

Here are some ridiculous warning labels that go way overboard:

• Chainsaw -- Warning: Do not hold the wrong end of a chainsaw.

• Skateboard -- Warning: This product moves when used.

• Washing Machine -- Warning: Do not put any person in this washer.

• Lawn Mower -- Warning: Never use a lit match or open flame to check fuel level.

• iPod -- Warning: Do not eat iPod Shuffle.

Put Put Bra

The green corset-style garment can be removed and unrolled to create a 1.5-meter-long putting mat. When the user sinks a putt into one of the cups, a built-in speaker pumps out a congratulatory “Nice shot!”

The bra also features pockets for extra golf balls and tees, and a detachable flag pin that serves as a score pencil. The bra set comes with a skirt with the words “Be Quiet” printed on the rear, which doubles up as a flag for use on the course.

RED FLAGS ABOUT WOMEN

2009-11-09T08:54:00.001-05:00

There's a great blog out there called the Big Red Flags Blog, where users post "red flags" about their boyfriends and girlfriends that they spotted but chose to ignore.

According to the creators of the blog, here are some of the worst red flags about women to be on the lookout for:

1. Her body issues exceed normal limits -- If your girlfriend can't eat a meal without calculating calories, you're in for years of stress and very little fun.

2. She's obsessed with marriage -- All women think about marriage. Just watch out for the ones who think about it (and badger you) 24/7.

3. She thinks her dog is your child -- If you end up constantly taking care of her yippy dog, she's using you, man.

4. She has a record of dating jerks -- Girls with sketchy dating histories, especially a pattern of bad guys, have serious problems. You're not going to save her. She'll just end up dumping you for the next bad guy.

Things You Should Never Ask Your Girlfriend

2009-11-06T08:50:00.000-05:00

(Premiere Prep)

Women are sensitive. There's nothing guys can do about this fact but live with it and try to keep women calm.

One way of not getting women all riled up is to avoid those "dangerous" questions that, at best, put her on the defensive and, at worst, cause her to lunge at you with a machete.

According to AskMen.com, here are some terrible questions to avoid asking your girlfriend or wife at all costs ...

1. What's for dinner? Instead of uttering those words, suggest something -- and pray that she actually goes into the kitchen and makes it.

2. Can I borrow some money? Women want to feel secure, which means they want guys to PROVIDE, not take.

3. How many guys have you slept with? You're neither going to be happy with the answer nor believe the answer anyway, so just keep that question to yourself.

4. Are you wearing that? Even if she looks like a hideous beast, just bite your tongue and tell her she looks great.

5. Don't you ever just want to start over somewhere new? Even though it might be a dream of yours to get in a pick-up truck and take off for a new life in Mexico, saying it leaves her feeling hurt and replaceable. Keep it to yourself. (And, if you do leave for a new life in Mexico, just leave in the middle of the night ...)

6. Do you want to have a threesome? For the rest of your relationship, she'll self-consciously wonder why she isn't enough to satisfy you. She knows you want one. Who doesn't? You're just going to have to wait for HER to ask. (Don't hold your breath.)

7. Why don't you join the gym? When she's complaining about how out of shape she is, you're not supposed to offer advice. Instead, she's asking you to lie to her face, tell her how wrong she is and offer only words of encouragement. (Repeat after me: "You're not fat, honey ... I love you just the way you are ...")

8. Are you PMS-ing? Asking this will only make her mood worse. A lot worse.

WHAT YOUR BEER SAYS ABOUT YOU

2009-11-04T09:33:00.000-05:00

According to data put together by the magazine Advertising Age, your choice of beer says a lot about you.

Here's what they found:

Budweiser -- Bud drinkers are sensible, grounded and practical. They also don't like authority and are 42 percent more likely to drive a truck than the average person.

Bud Light -- Very different from regular Bud drinkers, people who buy Bud Light are careless, with frat boy personalities, and are 48 percent more likely than the average person to play the lottery every day.

Michelob Ultra -- Michelob Ultra drinkers think highly of themselves and can be conceited. They care what other people think about them and want to appear perfect.

Blue Moon -- They are socially liberal, hate moral authorities and can also be sarcastic and snide in order to get a point across. They are also 105 percent more likely than the average person to drive hybrid cars.

When Nature Is Badass...

(Asylum)

Well, almost. Straight out of Australia, the land so crazy it produced koala bears and Crocodile Dundee, comes this footage of a shark that had been caught on a drum line and what happens when a much bigger, angrier, hungrier shark sees it caught on a drum line.

Sadly, no footage of the actual attack, but judging from the size of the chunk taken out of the caught shark, the attacker was as much as 6 meters long, or about 18 feet. (And yes, the mauled shark's face is registering the exact amount of surprise you'd expect to see from someone who almost got bit in half.)

"Woman Flashes $27,000 At Bar, Gets Robbed"

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. -- Massachusetts police say they are searching for two men suspected of robbing a woman of $27,000 after she flashed the cash in a Springfield bar.

Sgt. John Delaney said on Friday that the 22-year-old woman was robbed Monday night by two men wearing dark clothing and bandanas, one armed with what appeared to be a semi-automatic handgun.

According to police, the woman bragged in the bar of receiving the $27,000 from an insurance claim. Police say she was later robbed after she left the bar with a male friend.

Delaney said the woman should have put her cash settlement in a bank.

A North Carolina woman sees Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in this pork chop.
It might not be worth as much as a grilled cheese sandwich said to bear the image of the Virgin Mary, but a North Carolina woman believes she's found a well-known Christmas character in her pork chop.

Sue Church stopped by the FOX8 studios on Tuesday morning to show us a pork chop that resembles Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

Some have suggested the meat actually resembles the antler-wearing dog in How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

The aforementioned grilled cheese sandwich fetched $28,000 in an eBay auction in 2004, a decade after it was discovered.

WORLAND, Wyo. (AP) - A northwestern Wyoming man received a citation for letting his horse wander in Worland, but not before he complained to town law enforcement officials about the absence of a hitching post in front of the local saloon. William Schellinger was cited by Washakie County law enforcement officers for allowing his horse to run at large in this city along the Big Horn River.
Schellinger was apparently in a bar early Sunday when his horse wandered away, prompting police to follow it to make sure it didn't cause an accident with a car.

After being confronted by officers, Schellinger contended the city didn't have any hitching posts and told them they should spend their time arresting real criminals, not bothering cowboys with wayward horses.

A Harvard Medical School study puts America at the top of the list of depressed (or otherwise mentally disordered) countries. Polls show that Americans are really only happy when they're away from work.

• Americans put in more hours at work than any other nation, with nine more weeks of labor per year than their working counterparts in Western Europe, who get at least 20 paid days of vacation each year.

• Most Western European countries give workers six weeks of vacation. Finland tops the list with an added 14 paid national holidays, bringing personal time to about nine weeks a year.

• Canada and Japan are near the bottom of that list, with a legal minimum of ten vacation days.

• The United States is the only industrialized nation that does not have a mandatory minimum of vacation time.

Quote of the day comes from the responding military police: "With the unpacking of the sandwiches ... it transpired that they were not fit for consumption." Unless you plan on going to a rave.

But it doesn't sound like it's all about doing what's best for the people in his district, but seeking vengeance on the Department of Justice.

Traficant, a Democrat who served in Congress for 17 years, told C-N-N yesterday, "The only way I can get back at the Justice Department is probably to go back to Congress. Both parties would not want to see me in Washington, believe me." The bigger question is whether voters in Youngstown, Ohio would want to see him back in Congress.

Traficant was one of the more off-beat members of Congress. Traficant wore one of the most bizarre hairpieces in...well...America. He also frequently used a Star Trek reference as a statement of affirmation -- "Beam me up."

Woman quits smoking after 95 years
(Ananova)

A woman who has smoked for 95 years has finally decided to kick the habit.

Winnie Langley says she has decided to quit because she "didn't fancy it any more".

Mrs Langley claims she has prevented getting cancer because she does not inhale.

Winnie, who lives in Croydon, South London, told the Daily Mail: "Everyone used to smoke in those days, you did it to cope. We didn't know about the health problems. I just don't fancy it any more.

"My eyesight is failing so in a few years' time I might not be able to see the pack."

Since her first puff in 1914, Winnie has smoked on average five cigarettes a day, giving a total of more than 170,000.

Mrs Langley's step-grandson Clive said: "Her doctors have told her there's not much point stopping now. If she's got to 102 without getting cancer I don't think she ever will."

Hot for Teacher

The new school year is either underway -- or about to start. Either way, it's not too late to start working toward getting your hot teacher in the sack.

Here are the foolproof steps you'll need to follow in order to score:

1. Act Like You've Been There -- While any teacher who's willing to get carnal with a student is obviously not looking for a mature man, she's also most likely not interested in having sex with a kid. Be mature and confident.

2. Study Hard -- You're going to need to be able to talk to her, and to do that, you'll probably need to know about what the subject matter she spends 50% of her waking hours dealing with.

3. Talk About Sex -- Don't talk about having sex with her, but do talk about sexual things with her. This shows her that you're a sexual person and you are comfortable around her.

4. Make Contact -- Obvious first steps include a hand on her shoulder as you lean over to read something together or a hand on her waist as you lead her through a door you've opened.

5. Close The Deal -- If she's talking about sex with you in private, you need to assure her that you can keep a secret. And then, offer up something like, "I really should get going, but I don't want to." You'll never know her answer unless you offer the suggestion.

"Virgin Mary art stolen to finance abortion? "

The Associated Press

OMAHA, Neb. - A Nebraska man who stole a painting of the Virgin Mary to finance an abortion for a teen he was accused of raping has been convicted of first-degree sexual assault and felony theft.

Aurelio Vallerillo-Sanchez, 39, of Omaha pleaded no contest to the charges Friday and faces up to 70 years in prison when sentenced in October, Douglas County prosecutor Brenda Beadle said Saturday.

A call to the county public defender representing Vallerillo-Sanchez wasn't answered Saturday.

Beadle said Vallerillo-Sanchez fled to Mexico with the 300-year-old painting worth $100,000 and the pregnant teen in March 2007.

"The plan was that when they got to Mexico, she was to undergo an abortion," she said.

When an abortion wasn't possible, Vallerillo-Sanchez pushed to have the baby given up for adoption, Beadle said: "He wanted to do everything he could to get rid of this baby 'cause it was evidence against him."

The teen returned to Nebraska after giving birth, the prosecutor said.

Vallerillo-Sanchez was arrested in February after DNA linked him to the September 2006 assault of the then-14-year-old girl.

His children gave police information about the theft during the investigation into the sexual assault. His son told police he served as a lookout as his father stole the painting from St. Cecilia Cathedral in Omaha. Vallerillo-Sanchez sold the painting for $3,000 in Mexico, his daughter told police.

Vallerillo-Sanchez has been linked to at least four other thefts in the Omaha area, but charges were not filed as part of a plea deal, Beadle said.

No injuries were reported but traffic was briefly shut down after a camper in the bed of a pickup truck hit a downtown underpass this afternoon.

Shortly before 2 p.m., Leo Cummings, 58, was driving a 1999 Ford pickup northbound on North 21st Street when he attempted to drive through a railroad underpass between Montana and Minnesota avenues, Billings Police Sgt. Neil Lawrence said.

A camper in the bed of the pickup was too tall and struck the bottom of the underpass, shearing it from the truck as it passed through. The underpass has an 8-foot clearance.

Cummings, from Newtown, N.D., was not issued any citations in the crash, Lawrence said.

The underpass was not damaged and traffic was flowing smoothly again by 3 p.m.

Nearly 20 years ago, a guy from Costa Rica named Chito found a crocodile, named Pocho, which had been shot in the eye and was dying on the bank of a river. So Chito took Pocho home and nursed him back to health.

Now, Pocho is nearly 17-feet long and weighs almost 1,000 pounds. But that doesn't stop 52-year-old Chito from SWIMMING with, and even HAND-FEEDING, his pet crocodile.

Chito says, quote, "When I found [Pocho] in the river, he was dying. So I put him in my boat and I brought him into my house.

"After ten years I started to work with him. At first it was slow. I started to play with him, touching him a little bit and then slowly doing more. Then I found that when I called his name he would come over to me . . .

"I just wanted him to feel that someone loved him, that not all humans are bad. I love all animals, especially ones that have suffered. It meant a lot of sacrifice. I had to be there every day."

"Sorry My Love"

2009-08-18T08:17:00.001-04:00

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - An American widow is selling her husband's burial spot directly above film legend Marilyn Monroe so that she can pay off her mortgage.
Elsie Poncher has put an advert on eBay to auction off the tomb in Westwood Village Memorial Park, Los Angeles.

"Here is a once in a lifetime and into eternity opportunity to spend your eternal days directly above Marilyn Monroe," says the advertisement.

"In fact the person occupying the address right now is looking face down on her."

The burial plot is currently occupied by the late Richard Poncher, described by his widow as an entrepreneur who bought two tombs from baseball player Joe DiMaggio, Monroe's ex-husband, as the pair were divorcing in 1954.

Monroe died at the age of 36 in 1962. Poncher died at the age of 81 in 1986.

Elsie Poncher said she would move her husband's remains over one spot into a crypt intended as her final resting place if the sale was successful and she would be cremated instead when the time came.

Bidding for the plot opened at $500,000 and had reached $2.5 million by Sunday. No one from eBay was immediately available to comment on the bidding process or to give more details.

Poncher told the Los Angeles Times that she hoped to raise enough money to pay off the $1.6 million mortgage on her Beverly Hills home.

"I can't be more honest than that," she told the newspaper. "I want to leave it free and clear for my kids."

The Westwood Village Memorial Park is home to many celebrities, including Dean Martin, James Coburn, Roy Orbison, Truman Capote, Natalie Wood, and, from this year, Farrah Fawcett.

Playboy's Hugh Hefner bought the crypt beside Monroe in 1992.

There's an awesome new game out there for the Xbox that really captures the essence of weekend well spent. That game is called Barf and Beer.

Developed by the company Highbrow Games, Barf and Beer is pretty much what it sounds like. Players compete in a beer-chugging race, burping occasionally to release pressure.

If they don't burp, they're slowed down as they stop to puke.

Players are also allowed to punch one another while burping, which also forces each other to hurl.

In case you were wondering, there are five difficulty levels: Teetotaler, Frat Boy, Alcoholic, Rager and Immortal.

When Nagging Goes Too Far...

Husband jumps in river to escape nagging

(Ananova)

A Chinese lorry driver jumped into a fast-flowing river because he couldn't take his wife's nagging anymore.

Zhou and his wife were on a ferry on the Yangtze River when it all became too much for him, reports the Chongqing Evening Post.

Members of the ship's crew saw the man suddenly run out of his cabin with his hands covering his ears, and shouting: "I can't stand it any longer."

They initially thought he was suffering from an ear injury and went to help him but found he was unhurt.

"While we were still puzzling over the this, his wife ran up and continued nagging him," said one crewmate.

"The husband covered his ears again and said: 'I need a break' before jumping over the side into the rushing river.

"We immediately found lamps to light up the water but found nobody. The possibility of survival can be zero."

However, later that night, police found the man who had managed to swim more than a mile across across the broad river.

"I felt I was dying, but even that's better than my wife's nagging," he reportedly told the police.

The couple were reunited the following morning at the local police station where Zhou's wife promised to give up her habit of nagging him.

On Sunday, 25-year-old George Vera of Houston, Texas, was arrested for selling bootleg CDs. He spent an entire day in city jail, before being transferred to county lockup for another 14 hours.

But after nearly two days in jail, George admitted to the police that even though they'd searched him as many as FIVE TIMES, he'd still managed to sneak a nine-millimeter HANDGUN into the jail. So how did he do it? Apparently, George weighs nearly 600 pounds and he hid the gun from the police by tucking it underneath his ROLLS OF BACK FAT. (!!!)

According to a police spokesman, quote, "If a person has a weapon, narcotics, anything of danger, it should have been found before he winds up in the county jail. Obviously the system broke down." George was charged with gun possession and has been released on $10,000 bond.

Pranksters took their revenge on couch potato Gerle

They wheeled still-sleeping Gerle, 25, and the sofa more than a mile to the local railway station and put him on a train after buying a single ticket for him and a bike ticket for the settee.

He woke up on a platform four miles down the line in Warngau, Germany, still stretched out on his couch being quizzed by police.

"I always sleep like a baby so I didn't notice anything until the cops shook me awake and demanded my ID. I thought I was in the middle of a bad movie," said Gerle.

A second rude awakening came when he realised he had no cash and his mobile battery was flat.

"I ran four miles home and went straight back to bed," he said.

Learning About Your Girl

(Premiere Prep)

When guys start dating women, there's a slow unveiling of the truth. Smart women try to play up their positive attributes -- and hide their flaws.

This can go on for months, with guys never really knowing the full truth. In fact, guys can marry their girlfriend and then, finally, learn the truth -- only by then it's too late.

One thing that can shake things up and speed up the learning process is vacationing together.

In strange lands, under pressure and always around, women are more likely to let their guard down. Guys can get a real sense of who their girlfriend REALLY is when they're traveling together.

It's actually not a bad idea to take a trip with your girlfriend before you move in with her -- and certainly before you marry her ...

Nun sues over naked Facebook photos

(Ananova)

A novice nun is suing her ex-boyfriend in Italy after he uploaded pictures of her naked on Facebook.

The 31-year-old woman who lives in Turin said she was devastated when she saw the pictures, taken in summer 2006 during a holiday in Sicily, on the social networking site.

The man who said he wanted to stop her becoming a nun has refused to remove the pictures despite the woman's requests.

Now lawyer Anna Orecchioni has taken action and said: "My client doesn't want money, she only wants that he respects her decision to become a nun."

Large numbers of Italians meanwhile have logged on to see the pictures leaving comments like: "If all the nuns are like that, I want to become a priest."

"Man 'broke into house and had sex with dog"

(Metro UK)

A man in the US has been arrested for allegedly breaking into a house to have sex with a dog.

Christopher Bagwell, 26, is accused of entering a home in Farmington, West Virginia while the owner was at work.

A friend of the person who owned the house had stopped by to leave off some possessions when she said she caught Bagwell having sex with the owner's dog, a male Australian shepherd, border collie mix.

She said: "His pants were down around his ankles and the dog was making an awful sound."

At the time, she called Bagwell a "sick bastard" and he let go of the dog.

"The dog jumped down off the chair and ran over towards the love seat. At that time Chris started towards her, pulling his pants up," the police report said.

Bagwell has been charged with burglary and animal cruelty.

"Drunken flight lands jockeys in hot water"

(ABC AU)

Three jockeys have been fined and banned from racing for a month after taking beers onto a commercial flight as they returned from a responsible drinking seminar.

Thoroughbred Racing South Australia's stewards yesterday found jockeys Garry Hoobin, Paul Marks and Sean Harrison guilty of prejudicing the sport.

The incident happened on a Regional Express flight from Adelaide to Mount Gambier.

The men were said to have taken 12 beers onto the one-hour flight and were drinking them, despite warnings from the flight attendant not to open them.

The Australian Federal Police were called to investigate the incident.

The jockeys had been in Adelaide for the day attending a racing industry-funded seminar on the responsible consumption of alcohol.

They have been fined $500 and received a year's ban on all Regional Express flights.

Marks is still under investigation from the Civil Aviation Authority for allegedly failing to put on his seat belt.

Bra for guys?!?!

Bra for men

(Ananova)

A bra made especially for men is taking Japan by storm.

Mail order company Wishroom started selling the unusual underwear last year.
Unsure of its reception, at first they only produced 160 bras as the start. These sold out immediately, prompting the company to order 5,000 more.

Wishroom president Masayuki Tsuchiya says demand from customers prompted the company to create the male bra.

In Japan, men who wear bras are known as "Bra-o", which means "Bra men".

Wishroom's bras are available in a choice of white, pink and black and retail for around £20. They are all A cup size with chest size ranging from 32ins to 38ins.
According to Mr Tsuchiya, office workers in their 30s and 40s are Wishroom's main clients.

"Japanese salary men have a lot of stress, and the bras seem to relieve that," he said.

Another, more surprising, market has proven to be in their 50s and 60s who, it turns out, also partial to the calming effects of a bra.

"They were the generation we had been told were manly - they led Japan in the post-war period," explains Tsuchiya, speculating they may now be reacting against this stereotype.

A Russian woman has set a new world record in the competitive world of vagina lifting by raising 14kg using her ... hmmm ... well you know.

Tatiata Kozhevnikova of Novosibirsk, aged 42, has been in training for 15 years and has finally won the bragging rights after lifting a 14kg glass ball.

This topic is quite frankly too weird and not “radio friendly”.

She says she exercises her vagina 5 minutes a day.

Scarecrow Arrested

Police scarecrow arrested

(Ananova)

A joke scarecrow dressed as a policeman with a fake speed radar gun was arrested by a real officer.

The 7ft tall scarecrow was put on the roadside to promote a village scarecrow festival while also encouraging motorists to slow down, reports the Daily Telegraph.

However, a passing policewoman thought it "inappropriate" and took it away in her patrol car within four hours of it being put up in Brancaster, Norfolk.

The scarecrow was reported stolen by festival organiser Miranda Skillings, 56, who had got permission from police to put up the fake traffic officer.

After three hours Norfolk Police located the scarecrow and an officer was sent to replace it - without the fake speed gun.

Mrs Skillings said: "We always put up a couple of scarecrows early to encourage people to take part and this year we decided to make a policeman with a speed gun.

"I thought it would have the added benefit of slowing down motorists who come speeding through the village."

Insp Dave Buckley said: "We gave permission for the organisers to create a scarecrow of a police officer - but the owner of the scarecrow used a plastic drinks bottle to symbolise a speed radar gun.

"As a result an officer removed the scarecrow as it portrayed an incorrect and inappropriate message to passing motorists.

"Speed radars are used to prevent casualties on our roads and to address the irresponsible actions of motorists. They should not be re-created by the roadside in jest."

Marcus Bailey, 25, is accused of foolishly stepping out mid-haircut to conduct a drug deal. His giant afro was being turned into braids meaning he looked likes someone had taken a shearer through a third of his hair.

But cops were waiting for him to make the deal and pounced, refusing to allow him to clear up his hair for prison.

Women sue over 'watermelon advert'

A group of Bulgarian women are suing a drinks firm over an ad which shows a woman in a bikini under the slogan: 'the watermelon season is here'.

The ad, featuring a model in a melon-coloured bikini, has infuriated women's groups who say the country's men are already bad enough without any encouragement.

Now a group of 13 women are suing manufacturers Peshtera.

"You can't walk down the street now without some a**hole shouting, 'Hey - nice watermelons' and trying to see if they are ripe," a spokeswoman said.

"The advert encourages sexism and is causing women real harm and humiliation," said one woman.

The claim has already been filed with local justice authorities.

"This advert deeply and permanently discriminates against us as women, illegally infringes our personal lives, and violates European law on equal treatment of sexes in the provision of services," it states.

Honest for a Moment

2009-06-22T08:17:00.000-04:00

As a radio DJ, I enjoy interacting with almost everyone (if you are an a-hole - then I don't enjoy it), but I want to be honest for a minute about request...

We here at radio can tell when a band informs their "street team" or fanbase when to hit up a station and request the crap out of a song... and I'll be honest, when this happens I start to refuse to play it. Not because it's a bad song or that "I don't want to give the people what they want"... I just know that when a load of request come in for some random song that is not being played on our station that the "street team" is on the move.

Please understand where I am coming from on this... it's nothing against the band, but it's annoying when everyone and their mother are "on point" making request because their new favorite band told them to...

56 Stars or Scares

Teen wakes up seeing stars

A Belgian teenager is suing a tattooist for £10,000 after claiming she woke up with 56 stars on her face.

Kimberley Vlaminck, 18, claims Rouslan Toumaniantz spoke such bad English and French that he misunderstood her at the Tattoo Boy studio in Courtrai, Belgium.

She claims she fell asleep while the tattooist went to work and woke up to find 56 stars on her face.

"It is horrible," sobbed Kimberley. "He has turned me into a freak. I can't go out on the street now without people looking at me."

However, Mr Toumaniantz insists she "got what she wanted" - and only complained when her dad got angry and her boyfriend dumped her.

Miss Vlaminch wants compensation to undergo laser treatment to remove the tattoos, but even after the treatment - that will cost upwards of 10,000 Euros, she is likely to be left with scars for life.
