A constitutional battle is brewing over a holiday beer that state officials are trying to ban because they say its label might entice children to drink.

The state believes it would be really awful for kids to see the label on the British import Seriously Bad Elf.

It shows a mean-looking elf with a slingshot firing Christmas ornaments at Santa's sleigh as it flies overhead.

State liquor regulations bar alcohol advertising with images that might appeal to children. The regulations specifically mention Santa.

"There are certain symbols and images that appeal more strongly to children and this regulation includes the most obvious among them," Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said. "The state has wide discretion to regulate the sales of alcohol."

Occasionally getting drunk is a core part of national identity for most Australians, according to new research.

The National Drug and Alcohol Research Council study of 1,500 Australians found that some 58 percent of people agreed that sometimes having too much to drink was "simply part of the Australian way of life."

The survey found that about one in 10 people had a problem with alcohol at some point in their lives and that about 60 percent were close to someone who had experienced a drinking problem.

The study also found that 17 percent of those interviewed said that they sometimes felt pressure to drink alcohol while in a work situation.

The First Assembly of God Church has agreed to discontinue its practice of swallowing live goldfish as part of its Fear Factor ministry.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has asked for a ban on the practice. Youth minister Anthony Martin said earlier the goal of the exercise was to teach teens about fear.

"I do appreciate your concern and just wanted to let you know that this will never happen again," Pastor Greg Woodall replied to PETA in a letter. "My views are a reflection of yours. We love God's creatures and would never want to show them harm."

As part of the Fear Factor ministry at the church, teenage participants were asked to swallow live goldfish. No one reportedly became ill during the goldfish phase of the program.

French Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir once said: "The pain passes, but the beauty remains" and that is what Taiwan is hoping to prove with a contest for mortuary make-up artists.

Mortuary make-up artists, who can honestly claim to never receive complaints from their "clients", will get a rare chance to demonstrate their skills in helping the deceased look their best for their final journey, organisers said Thursday.

The unusual competition, involving real bodies, is part of a series of activities aimed at promoting exchanges among morticians and improving the quality of service of the funeral business, said a spokeswoman of the municipal Taipei Mortuary Services Office.

Canadian education officials are seeking to discipline a teacher for allegedly filling his high school classroom with a barrage of racist, sexist, and sexually charged comments. According to a remarkable complaint drafted by the Ontario College of Teachers, William Fabel made offensive comments about the Holocaust, Osama bin Laden, gays, and fellow educators (among others) while working at St. Anne High School near Windsor.

Oh, he even told one student that the boy's mother was a MILF. And then there was the time after the Columbine school shooting when Fabel entered class pretending to be a gunman and "had his students cower under their desks."

Charlotte Church has come along way from her classical roots and her foray into the pop world suggests, on her part at least, it has been a smooth transition.

While the British press have made a meal of her emergence as a supposed rebel wild child, the 19-year-old Welsh diva believes she is quite grounded. "I'm just a good girl," Church said.

Tissues and Issues is Church's new album and is a tongue-in-cheek look at growing up, with all the mood swings that entails.

In fact, one of the songs on the album is called Mood Swings. But it's the mix of Motown, ballads and pop anthems combined with Church's mature vocals that set this album apart from the also rans in the pop rack.

Crazy Chick is the first song from the album, which took Church two years to complete.

"I'm just a lazy cow, really," Church said of the songwriting process where she co-wrote seven of the 12 tracks.

Canada's welcome mat is still rolled out for foreign strippers and lap dancers who can get quick visas to fill a domestic "labour shortage."

Last December, the Liberal government announced it was cancelling a controversial program that allowed exotic dancers to gain temporary work permits based on a national labour market opinion.

But it was quietly replaced by a process that permits strip club owners to bring in foreign dancers just by filling out the proper paper work. NDP MP Pat Martin called the stripper visa policy "deplorable."

"The door is still wide open for the type of wholesale exploitation that existed with the eastern European dancers, and, in reality, the minister of immigration is still pimping for the underworld," he said.

This isn't a Halloween party, it's Margarita Rongen's year-round workshop and she is a witch - according to her tax return.

Dutch witches were guaranteed a financial treat when the Leeuwarden District Court reaffirmed their legal right to write off the costs of schooling - including in witchcraft - against their tax bills. Those costs run to thousands of dollars.

The court found on Sept. 23 that a witch can declare schooling costs if it increases the likelihood of employment and personal income.

B-list Hollywood celebrities from “it” girl Paris Hilton to actor Tom Sizemore are finding that, far from being a kiss of death, the release of their home-made sex videos can be a big career boost.

While “Baywatch” star Pamela Anderson and her rocker husband Tommy Lee fought tooth and nail to keep their sex romps private, they inadvertently launched a new trend that some lesser stars are now happy to feed as celebrity nookie becomes a growing niche in the X-rated movie industry. Blond bombshell Anderson and Motley Crue drummer Lee, who have since divorced, became cult porn stars when a cassette of their raunchy pursuits was stolen from a safe in 1997.

It is nice when your neighbour drops in for a cup for a tea. But not when they are naked – and they fall through the ceiling.

A shocked Russian couple had a narrow escape when a woman in a bath tub came crashing through the ceiling and into the middle of their living room.

Rozalia Valiakhmetova had been relaxing in the bath upstairs when the floor gave way, dropping her and the bath tub into the flat below. She said: "I had just dozed off and then I heard this huge crash and realised what had happened. The bathroom floor just collapsed under the bath and I came crashing through the ceiling of the people below me.

"They seemed as shocked as I was when they saw me lying there naked in the bath in the middle of their living room."

I am still not sure what to think of the combination of Paris Hilton and Halloween. Maybe they're both about scaring people and I think that was her intention when she attended a Hallowe’en bash in Beverly Hills

I think so, because she didn't have a problem when a photographer took pictures of her in a swimming pool.

Heartless doctors refused to let a little girl take her pulled teeth home for the tooth fairy - claiming they are now classed as body parts. Last night four-year-old Kimberley Cumming's mum hit out: "A stupid rule has basically killed the magic of the tooth fairy for my little girl.

I explained the tooth fairy story to KImberley in the hope that it might make her less nervous about going in.

"She even had a special box to put her first tooth in and she was very excited about it.

"When she was back in the recovery room, she was very upset and her only solace was the fact that she was going to get some pennies for her old tooth.

But apparently you cannot take bodyparts home....

Personnel files show that seven male firefighters were dismissed from the Summit Township Fire Department following claims that they had sex with women in two department firehouses.
The documents include termination notices and were obtained by The Jackson Citizen Patriot under the Freedom of Information Act. All seven firefighters deny the claims and plan to fight the dismissals.

The department - in Jackson County - cited policy that prohibits inappropriate conduct on the job as justification for the firings. One of the firefighters was dismissed in September; the others were fired last week.

Education officials visiting from China are conveying a simple message to Hawai'i's educators and parents: Have your kids learn Mandarin Chinese. It will do them good.

Hawai'i is uniquely positioned to benefit from China's expanding trade with the United States and the world, said Cen Jianjun, deputy director general for the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China.

Great opportunities should arise in the business, education and tourism fields for Americans, and Hawai'i residents in particular, who are fluent in Mandarin Chinese, said Cen.

Tokyo's "Electric Town" Akihabara, an area known throughout the world for electronics and anime-related products, has begun attracting families as well as computer geeks since a major electronics retailer opened a giant store there.

Yodobashi Camera Co. opened the "Multimedia Akiba" complex near JR Akihabara Station on Sept. 16, and more than a million shoppers flocked to the building in the first four days.

"People, people and people! We felt as if we could see only people, not our products," said Yasushi Kato, the deputy manager of the massive complex.

Yodobashi Camera had to summon employees from other outlets to handle the flood of customers.

In its first month, more than 3.5 million people visited Multimedia Akiba. Compare this to the monthly average of visitors to Tokyo Disney Resort in fiscal 2004 -- 2.09 million -- and the season total of fans that watched home games of pro baseball's Central League champion the Hanshin Tigers in 2005 -- 3.13 million.

Halloween is the time of the year when we're given permission to let our dark side come out and play. For one night, you can be whoever you want with no fear of judgment, because it's just a costume, right? And the crazier the better. So what does your costume tell the world about the secret desires you've been keeping pent up inside you all year? Or more important, what message is your date's costume sending?

Based on the premise that your Halloween costume reveals the parts of your personality you normally suppress, here's our analysis of some popular costume choices for both men and women and what they tell others about your inner self. Here's your guide to costume decoding.

The National Center for Virus Control has issued a Threat Level 5 warning about a new internet virus that can be transmitted from computers to humans, resulting in flu-like symptoms. Unlike traditional viruses that are spread by email or software downloads, this "CyberFlu" virus is transmitted to your PC when you browse a web page infected with the virus.

The good news is that the CyberFlu virus will not harm your computer and no data will be lost. Your PC just acts as a carrier. But, under certain circumstances, the virus can be transferred from your PC to your body through contact. At risk areas on your computer include disk drives, CDROM drives, USB ports (used by memory sticks, music players, etc.)

The Simpsons has established itself as an award-winning international pop culture phenomenon. It is the longest-running sitcom of all time and it is also one of the most literate television programs on the air, containing many references to subject matter and scholars from various academic fields, including mathematics. Since The Simpsons has been airing in prime-time for most of our students' lives, they likely are familiar with the program and its large cast of characters, including a resident mathematician.

The Simpsons also contains over a hundred instances of mathematics ranging from arithmetic to geometry to calculus, many designed to expose and poke fun at innumeracy. In fact, Al Jean, Executive Producer and head writer, has a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Harvard University. Several episodes of The Simpsons contain significant mathematics that relates to material we normally cover in our classes. For these reasons, this program is an ideal source of fun ways to introduce important concepts to students, and to reduce math anxiety and motivate students in courses for non-majors.

A Superior Court judge must decide whether to believe a 21-year-old accused who says he could not have committed a sexual assault because his penis is too big.

Mischa Beutling, a second-year engineering student at McMaster University in Hamilton, has pleaded not guilty to sexual assault on a friend who spent the night with him after partying at a Barrie bar during study week in February 2004.

Earlier in the trial, which has been in and out of court for months, a urologist testified that Beutling's penis is in the top 5% range for size in comparison to the doctor's other patients.

An exclusive California beach enclave has raised eyebrows by passing out tsunami safety brochures that warn residents, in capital letters, that they should never try to surf one.

The pamphlets, part of an emergency preparedness campaign, inform residents of Malibu that tsunamis often follow large earthquakes and advise: "NEVER GO TO THE BEACH TO WATCH FOR, OR SURF, A TSUNAMI WAVE!"

"I'm speechless," Malibu surfer Candace Brown told the Los Angeles Times. "I think the last thing people will think about when they feel an earthquake is surfing."

Malibu's emergency preparedness director said he thought it would be prudent to address all possibilities.

Pete Tidd, 33, who moonlighted as a pizza deliveryman, sued the Town of Cicero after he was injured in a manhole-cover accident. He was hoping to recover roughly $140,000 in medical expenses, but the Maybrook Courthouse jury decided he should get more because the accident limited his mobility to the point he couldn't perform karate kicks or other maneuvers needed for his act.

The award included $260,000 for lost wages, though Tidd's attorney, Greg A. Harris, said jurors did not specify how much of that amount related to his work as "Pete Elvis."

A teenager locked up for conning £45,000 out of eBay shoppers wants a job with the auction site as a security expert.

And eBay bosses say they are interested in hiring Phillip Shortman, 18, even though he is now awaiting sentence for a second online scam.

Shortman got 12 months' detention in May for offering £45,000 of goods for sale on eBay, pocketing the cash and failing to supply the goods.

Then, while out on licence, he was caught selling £8000 of bogus Welsh rugby tickets on the site. He is waiting to be sentenced for the tickets con.

Despite his latest conviction, Shortman, of Pontypool, Gwent, told Tonight with Trevor McDonald: "I've turned over a new leaf."

Pop beauty Jessica Simpson has beaten a long list of busty beauties to top a new Best Cleavage in Hollywood poll.

The world of sports has its share of scary figures. No, not scary in the sense that they are curly-haired freaks that dance to Jamiroquai and own pet alpacas named Tina.

They keep their competitors up at night, dreading the thought of a potential head-to-head showdown. In the spirit of Halloween, light the jack-o-lanterns; put the candy in the bowl, and buckle up.

The apparent suicide of a woman found hanging from a tree went unreported for hours because passers-by thought the body was a Halloween decoration, authorities said.

The 42-year-old woman used rope to hang herself across the street from some homes on a moderately busy road late Tuesday or early Wednesday, state police said.

The body, suspended about 15 feet above the ground, could be easily seen from passing vehicles.

State police spokesman Cpl. Jeff Oldham and neighbors said people noticed the body at breakfast time Wednesday but dismissed it as a holiday prank. Authorities were called to the scene more than three hours later.

The distributor of rap star 50 Cent's upcoming film said on Thursday it was taking down some movie billboards near Los Angeles-area schools after community leaders complained they glorify gangs and violence.

Posters for "Get Rich or Die Tryin"' show the chart-topping gangsta rapper stripped to the waist in a crucifixion-like pose with his tattooed, bullet-scarred back to the camera and arms outstretched, holding a microphone in one hand and a gun in the other.

Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael Antonovich sent a letter to distributor Paramount Pictures urging the billboards be yanked, starting with one outside a public school in Altadena, a suburb north of Los Angeles.

A man who drove up to a Tim Hortons drive-thru while stark naked and masturbating has pleaded guilty to committing an indecent act, saying "fantasy" got the best of him.

A female employee at the restaurant in nearby Thamesford took an order for a large coffee just past midnight on Oct. 3, prosecutor Michael Carnegie told court Tuesday.

When the car pulled up to the window, the employee noticed a man alone in the vehicle, completely nude and masturbating, Carnegie said.

A woman who took an unpaid leave of absence from work to see her husband off to war has been fired after failing to show up for her part-time receptionist job the day following his departure.

"It was a shock," said Suzette Boler, a 40-year-old mother of three and grandmother of three. "I was hurt. I felt abandoned by people I thought cared for me. I sat down on the floor and cried for probably two hours."

Officials at her former workplace, Benefit Management Administrators Inc., confirmed that Boler was dismissed when she didn't report to work the day after she said goodbye to her husband of 22 years.

"We gave her sufficient time to get back to work," Clark Galloway, vice president of operations for Benefit Management, told The Grand Rapids Press for a story published Wednesday.

Investigators said the badly-mauled body of a newborn infant was found Tuesday afternoon on the banks of the Ohio River. The next day, the baby's 21-year-old mother was arrested after admitting to a hidden pregnancy.

The mother told investigators that the baby was stillborn at home. She said she panicked and disposed of the baby boy a few miles from her home, WCMH-TV in Columbus reported.

The investigation began after authorities received a 911 call from a frantic mother.

A 59-year-old Bayonne man's luck apparently ran out last week, when he was mugged of a $5,000 scratch-off ticket and $300 in cash, police said.

The man, a resident of East 25th Street, went to the Big Apple Restaurant and Lounge on Broadway in Bayonne on Friday and told customers and employees he'd won the prize and had the scratch-off ticket with him.

"He was all excited and showing people the ticket," said the restaurant's owner, Vinny Bottino. "He's a nice guy and everybody was happy for him because he was someone who won money that we knew could use it."

Some people lose sleep worrying about having too little money, but an opposite reason has been keeping Curtis West awake. The college freshman has a good excuse for missing one of his midterm exams.

Although they haven't come forward, it appears West's parents are the winners of the $340 million Powerball jackpot.

West said he's been too excited to study or sleep after learning his father had last week's winning Powerball ticket. He said he even missed a midterm exam at Oregon State University because he wasn't able to sleep -- and when he finally snoozed he slept through the test.

Growing up, my mom and grandma always had a fondness for watching Indian movies.

I consider it to be the 2005, Indian version of "All Your Base" - with a dash of Office Space thrown in for good measure.

So yeah, carrots. He tells me that if someone eats a whole lot of carrots, they will turn orange for a while. I find it hard to believe, but he is always right about such things. It's also important to note that he doesn't actually specify how many carrots or for how long one would turn orange. For all I know at this point, it could be following the, "you are what you eat" principle and turning you into an actual carrot.

Vitaly Kaloyev said he never wanted to cause physical suffering to anybody and only sought an apology from the head of the air navigation service Skyguide, whom he called the "main culprit" in the July 1, 2002, air crash that killed his wife and children.

"After it (the crash), distress was my entire life," Kaloyev said as his trial opened Tuesday. "I'm still crying today over my children."

A fire broke out at a detention centre at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport today, killing at least 11 people who were awaiting expulsion from The Netherlands."The eleven who died were detainees," Schipol mayor Michel Bezuijen told a news conference. The airport lies around 10 kilometres from Amsterdam.

Police earlier said that around 15 people had been injured, including police and fire officers, and that the death toll could rise.

The cells at Schipol airport are mainly used to lock up people carrying drugs for traffickers and people who have been refused entry to The Netherlands. It's thought about 350 people were detained in the cells late on Wednesday when the fire broke out, including 43 in the part of the building affected.

Seven Michigan prisoners were let out of jail ahead of schedule because the system used by the Department of Corrections to determine release dates for some sentences wasn't programmed correctly, according to a report by Michigan's auditor general, Thomas McTavish

CK is not just an abbreviation for Calvin Klein, it can be used just as well for Crystal Klein.

We all send romantic, suggestive text messages to our partners, often deliberately to get them going. Imagine if these texts could touch the body as well as the mind. Thanks to new technology, now they can. Mental images and physical sensations are one with The Toy. Your text fantasies are no longer confined to the imagination. With The Toy you can unite, wherever you are...

The Toy is a hi-tech vibrating bullet. Connected to a mobile phone with Bluetooth it becomes an intimate, silent connection between two lovers, regardless of distance. Custom designed for your pleasure, it is intelligent, sophisticated and invented for bliss.

The Toy is worn internally, linked to a mobile phone and controlled by sms text messages sent to the phone. Once read, the message is transported automatically to The Toy, which turns it into vibrations - with a huge range of movements, depending on what you have written. Just say what you feel, The Toy will do the rest.

I am not sure if it's Jon Bon Jovi trying to get some media exposure, but he certainly had a point when he slammed Madonna. If you do not know what it's all about, read about Jon Bon Jovi vs. Madonna and take the poll.

At this moment the score is 68% in favor of Jon Bon Jovi and 32% in favor of Madonna.

Britain's Prince Harry was forced to drop his trousers during a military parade to prove he did not have his girlfriend's name tattooed on his royal rear, a British newspaper has said overnight.

The 21-year-old son of Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, is halfway through his British Army officer training course at the elite Sandhurst academy.

The Sun, Britain's biggest-selling daily, said Harry, third in line to the throne, was ordered to bare his bum after rumours spread he had blonde Zimbabwean-born girlfriend Chelsy Davy's name inked on.

During a parade, a colour sergeant yelled: "Cadet Wales, drop your pants and show me your backside!"

Harry, apparently oblivious to the rumour, replied: "Are you serious?" before being ordered: "Just get them off, I want to see if it's true", The Sun said.

The prince had his trousers around his knees before the grinning colour sergeant said: "It's OK, Wales, I'll take your word for it!"

There's a widespread notion that pornographers eagerly jump on new technology long before it goes mainstream, but with Apple Computer's new video-playing iPod, the adult industry is largely staying away.

With a couple of exceptions, porno producers are in no hurry to provide stag movies for the iPod, thanks to fears of a public outcry and a government crackdown.

We can't blindly walk into this," said L.R. Clinton Fayling, president of Brickhouse Mobile, a Denver company that is licensing adult material for mobile phones.

Someone in desperate need of a comeback? No, not really, but it's still Hammertime.

A Japanese artist has been paid £5000 ($11,800) of taxpayers' money to drink 48 bottles of beer and then fall off a wooden beam.

The "performance", which took place at an arts centre in Cardiff, has outraged members of the local council and caused bafflement among the public, many of whom do exactly that every Friday and Saturday night, without getting paid.

However, an arts centre spokesman said: "This wasn't just about a woman drinking a lot of beer. This was a powerful piece of art."

Tomoko Takahashi, 39, who performs under the name Anti-Cool, was once nominated for the Turner Prize for her installations of rubbish. She says her performance "comments on the availability and use of mass-produced products".

Paris Hilton had sex with her new boyfriend in a portable toilet, it has been claimed. The hotel heiress is alleged to have got hot and steamy with new lover Greek shipping tycoon Stavros Niarchos in the unlikely love den at an exclusive Hollywood party.

According to reports, the pair spent the evening kissing and groping each other before sneaking into one of the loos to get frisky.

Meanwhile, Paris was reportedly overheard fuming into her mobile phone "she's a jealous, ugly, anorexic idiot" - sparking rumours over which one of her celebrity enemies she was describing.

The sexy star, who recently split from fiancé Paris Latsis, was reportedly heard spouting the torrent of insults as she got out of a limousine in New York last week.

It seems she can't get enough of it. Just look what she did earlier on the beach.

We know how crowded the MP3 player market is. We have the king of MP3 players, the iPod from Apple and the "little" players like Sony, Creative, iRiver and many more. Although they offer pretty much the same features, there are always a couple of options that are exclusive to each player. These could range from pure looks to overall audio quality to a tweaked navigation system, but Douglas.J Music Group has pushed the limits of MP3 players, at least with glamour and pricing.

Douglas.J’s The Presidential MP3 player costs $45,000 per unit. According to the manufacturer, "The Presidential is the most expensive media player in the world, and it imposes a level of grandeur within a market that is saturated with flimsy plastic devices. When we first considered creating a luxury media player, we realized that it had to be more than just beautiful; we would need the finest components, and the most advanced technology. The final product was an instrument both advanced and breathtaking."

Bungling carjackers had to ask their victim to demonstrate how to put his luxury car into reverse before relying on him again for directions on how to open the garage door.

Police said the two balaclava-clad men ordered a 69-year-old man out of his $100,000 black 2001 Audi S4 sports car and told him to lie on the floor of his garage at 6.30pm on Tuesday. It is believed the two bandits, one possibly a P-plate driver, had waited outside his Military Rd, Watsons Bay, home in a white Commodore.

After threatening the man and demanding his keys, the bandits climbed into the car and, after one of the men's attempts to reverse the car failed, the second bandit moved from the passenger seat to the driver's seat.

The pair were unable to get the car into reverse and one demanded the car's owner get off the floor to help them. The victim said the bandits were "nervous" and "not professional at all".

USA Today pulled a photograph of Condoleezza Rice from its website after a weblog revealed it was manipulated, giving the secretary of state a menacing, demon-eyesing stare.

The remarkable changes were first noted by a weblog called The Pen, which cited an original version of the Associated Press photograph.

After a host of weblogs highlighted the photo, the nationwide newspaper removed it with this explanation:

Editor's note: The photo of Condoleezza Rice that originally accompanied this story was altered in a manner that did not meet USA TODAY's editorial standards. The photo has been replaced by a properly adjusted copy. Photos published online are routinely cropped for size and adjusted for brightness and sharpness to optimize their appearance. In this case, after sharpening the photo for clarity, the editor brightened a portion of Rice's face, giving her eyes an unnatural appearance. This resulted in a distortion of the original not in keeping with our editorial standards.

To whom it may concern.

I am deeply troubled over your gnomes. They are exposed without any protection at all. Anyone could feed them pieces of Snickers bars and they'll be so spoiled from eating pieces of Snickers bars that they'll no longer eat their regular gnome food. And they could die!

The last time I tried feeding them pieces of Snickers bars, they were lucky. Just as I was about to hand one of them, the cute one, a piece of Snickers bar, Xena the warrior princess jumped from the tree tops and scared me away. I sure learned my lesson! Maybe you could warn other people with a sign that says something like "Thank you for not feeding the gnomes pieces of Snickers bars," or "Please do not feed the gnomes." After all, we can't always rely on Xena the warrior princess to help the gnomes out.

Sincerely,

A concerned neighbor.

A Dallas cab driver is in big trouble for getting caught on tape sprinkling dried feces on pastries.

49-year-old Behrouz Nahidmobarekeh is on trial for allegedly throwing fecal matter on pastries at a Fiesta grocery store.

Police said they found a pile of human feces by his bed.

He would dry it, either by microwave or just letting it sit out and grate it up with a cheese grater and then sprinkle it at the store, officials said.

If you thought gas prices were high. Try to afford this bad ass Demon's Cycle South custom bike. This is my old used chopper. It’s used and abused but still rides great.

I'm in the process of building myself a new, younger and better 2006 model. (Still looking for parts......call me girls ! Must be young and hot)

But this old used chopper is still a cool, bad ass ride. You know the saying.... one mans’ junk is another mans’ treasure.

One languid, melodious Saturday afternoon, I had the best orgasm of my life. It was the sort of event that builds and builds like the pressure on a crumbling dam and explodes in an avalanche of bliss, a wave of delicious convulsions. My entire body tensed and shook and finally went involuntarily limp, and I literally passed out. It was the kind of orgasm that only a woman can give — to herself.

Remember Halle Berry coming out of the ocean in that James Bond movie? What did you look at? No, honest, what did you look at? I bet you too looked at her right foot! If not, let me tell you you could have spotted six toes on Halle Berry's foot.

As if sticking up a Vail, Colorado bank and fleeing via ski lift wasn't dopey enough, it turns out that a pair of young robbers made the mistake of photographing themselves with the pilfered loot. As you can see in the pictures on the left (which were released today by federal prosecutors in Denver), would-be bandits Anthony Prince, 20, and Luke Carroll, 19, sure looked pleased with themselves following the March robbery of WestStar Bank.

The men, both Australian residents who came to Vail to work during the ski season, pleaded guilty in June to the $130,000 heist, which they pulled off with the aid of unloaded BB guns. During today's hearing, Carroll (seen with a brick of bills in his right hand) was sentenced to five years in prison, while Prince (who posed holding two fans of twenties) was hit with a four-and-a-half-year term.

I sense the making of a movie about these guys within ten years. While they are in jail they will have all the time they need to try to write a decent movie script. And if they are smart enough, which I truely doubt, they manage to get good money for having their life on the silver screen. But that also depends on the director and the actors to play them.

The red and cuddly Sesame Street Muppet Elmo has learned a new lesson: 'H' is for handcuffs.

A man dressed as the character was one of three impersonators arrested last week for allegedly harassing tourists for tips after posing for photos on Hollywood Boulevard. Booked with him were people impersonating superhero Mr. Incredible and the dark-hooded character from the horror movie "Scream."

The impersonators said they were taken into custody at gunpoint, handcuffed and paraded on the Hollywood Walk of Fame before stunned tourists and other impersonators. They were charged with misdemeanor "aggressive begging," police said.

The National Archives of England, Wales and the United Kingdom has one of the largest archival collections in the world, spanning 1000 years of British history, from Domesday Book of 1086 to government papers recently released to the public.

The National Archives, which covers England, Wales and the United Kingdom, was formed in April 2003 by bringing together the Public Record Office and the Historical Manuscripts Commission. It is responsible for looking after the records of central government and the courts of law, and making sure everyone can look at them. The collection is one of the largest in the world and spans an unbroken period from the 11th century to the present day.

Think of it as the most sensational, inspirational, celebrational, Muppetational reality show around.

After plunking down a whopping $90 million last year for rights to Kermit and cohorts, Disney is hoping to relaunch the Muppets on a prime-time ABC series parodying such unscripted hits as American Idol and America's Next Top Model.

A network rep says the Muppet project is in the extremely early stages of development. But ABC has ordered a pilot script and five additional script outlines for America's Next Muppet, which will see Kermit's crew trying out would-be Muppets to join the pantheon of beloved Jim Henson creations like Fozzie Bear, Gonzo, the Swedish Chef, Scooter, Rowlf, Janice, Dr. Teeth, Animal, Dr. Bunson Honeydew, Beeker and a certain amphibian.

Surely this wasn't how the stickup was supposed to go down. After making off with some cash, the robber was struck five times by two vehicles - first by someone police think was the suspect's own getaway driver and four more times by another driver who appears to have been trying to intervene.

Toward the end of the strange scene, the beleaguered bandit accidentally shot himself in the leg - then got hit a fourth time by the second driver, a woman who apparently knew the victim.

Earlier this week Tom Sizemore revealed that he once bedded Paris Hilton and that they recorded it all on tape. But the hotel heiress who doesn't have one useful thing to do in life, denied it and said that she had never even met the actor.

Guess what: she lied!

It seems that Lindsay Lohan is getting back in shape. Maybe she ate some of the sammiches I posted earlier today. Her arms got bigger, her boobs are back to their original size, but now this: what happened to Lindsay Lohan's lips? Did she have a fight?

If you have a loved one stationed overseas in the Navy or with the Marines, you can forget about exchanging email with them if they use any of the commercial services such as Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL or Gmail. According to a report in Stars & Stripes, the Navy and Marine Corps have blocked all access to such services from overseas government computers, including those at libraries.

The reason, said Neal Miller, a manager with Naval Network Warfare Command, is that “access to such services leaves the unclassified government network too susceptible to hackers and computer viruses.”

“This concerns us,” said Ciro Giordano, supervisory librarian at Naval Support Activity Naples, Italy, “because so many of our patrons won’t be able to access their e-mail, and many come to the library to do just that.”

A German man killed two men and wounded two others with a pistol in a farming town in the northern Philippines before he was knocked unconscious with a soft drink bottle, police said Tuesday.

The trouble began when a 51-year-old German national who is married to a Filipino woman was summoned to the community hall to answer complaints from his neighbors accusing him of issuing threats Sunday.

During a heated argument with his four neighbors, the man pulled out a .45 caliber pistol and began shooting at people inside the hall, said Jefferson Soriano, chief of police in the northern Cagayan Valley region.

A Hong Kong man has been convicted of copyright infringement using the BitTorrent service, in what is believed to be the first case of its kind.

Chan Nai-Ming was found guilty of distributing three Hollywood films using BitTorrent's peer-to-peer file sharing technology, according to Taiwanese English-language newspaper The China Post.

The unemployed 38 year old used the software to distribute the copyrighted films — "Miss Congeniality", "Daredevil" and "Red Planet". He was arrested by customs officers in January 2005.

Rome has banned goldfish bowls, which animal rights activists said are cruel, and has made regular dog walking mandatory, the city council said.

Under a new by-law, round fish bowls were banned along with fish and other creatures being given away for fairground prizes.
The moves came after a national law was passed to allow jail sentences for people who abandon cats or dogs.

"It's good to do whatever we can for our animals who in exchange for a little love fill our existence with their attention," said Monica Cirinna, the councillor behind the by-law.

"The civilisation of a city can also be measured by this," she told Rome's Il Messaggero newspaper.

The newspaper reported round bowls caused fish to go blind. No one at Rome council was available to confirm this was why they were banned however, many experts said round bowls provided insufficient oxygen for fish.

Nottingham Forest manager Gary Megson came up with a novel way of punishing his under-performing players at the weekend when he made them face disgruntled fans in the changing rooms.

The former European champions, now languishing in the third tier of English football, were two goals down to Yeovil Town at halftime when a pair of fans aired their grievances to Megson.

Rather than ignore them, the manager invited them to get it off their chests with the players after the game.

Long-suffering fans John Emener and Andrew Peel thought he was joking, but Megson proved as good as his word following the 3-0 defeat.

Let's all sing together: we've got the whole world in our hands

If you want to come pay us a visit, I suggest you use public transportation to get to our neighborhood. Don't bring your own car or bike and don't think about walking. That would simply take you too long and there will be no beer left once you arrive. Like I said, use public transportation. And there is a very special bus that will deliver you right at our frontdoor.

Mariah Carey requires that hotel staff install "new toilet seats" and gold faucets for her hotel suite.

New toilet seat? Like a seat that hasn't had a single butt cheek on it? Yea, that is some type of luxury to have your very own toilet seat. ..

Let's get to the specifics according to an Austrian Hotel Guide on the Hotel Demands of Stars via Cindy Adams.

"Suites fitted out with gold faucets." Also, "new toilet seat must be installed before her arrival." Also, "her own bed linens are flown in advance." Also, "on the two obligatory DVD players, only her own videos may be played." Also, she and her dog both bathe "in expensive French mineral water."

Mediamarkt is a company that sells TV's, stereo systems, video cameras and CD's (Shooter told me yesterday they have the new Robbie Williams cd for only 10 euros, but you can get it on the internet for free).

But working at Mediamarkt is something else. It wouldn't surprise me if the female workers found a line in their contract which says that if a nudy magazine comes along, you have to take off your clothes for a pictorial or they will kick you out.

Earlier this year the German employees of Mediamarkt showed all for Playboy and this November the Playboy issue in the Netherlands will have the Dutch employees of Mediamarkt.

To the Microsoft suggestion box: Whenever an email user hits the Reply to All button, a dialogue box should pop up with the following question: "Are you sure you want to chap the hide of everyone at the company?" There could be only two choices: No or Cancel.

It might have come in handy with a blunder that, although it happened years ago, still stings colleagues Jackie Condie and Eric Starkman. It started when the receptionist at their former company composed an email to her doctor, grisly in its detail, that spoke at length of some gastrointestinal discomfort. This being the early days of email, she apparently hit Reply to All on a previously broadcast message instead of creating a fresh message page. Soon, the whole company was aware of her symptoms.

I think we all have story similar to that. I know I do (I didn't do it myself though)

A man who claimed he was Superman and could fly was hospitalized early Tuesday after leaping from a fourth-floor window, authorities said.

Paramedics rushed the 23-year-old man to a hospital in the city of Graz, about 120 miles south of Vienna, after he jumped from a window and suffered head and back injuries, police said.

They said the man — who apparently had drunk several bottles of red wine before attempting the jump — appeared at the window ledge at around 4 a.m. and shouted: "I am Superman! Nothing can happen to me!"

A Fond du Lac man is jailed after he was caught climbing up a TV antenna on the outside of a two-story house in North Fond du Lac. Police in North Fond du Lac say he may have been trying to take pictures of a woman inside the house.

The 57-year-old man was caught around 6 o'clock Monday morning. Police said the man told them he liked trains and was taking pictures of trains from atop the TV antenna. Police said his story just did not add up, given that the tracks are at least a football field's distance away.

Officers got a search warrant for his car, and found a video camera and videotapes of women. Officers say the video was obviously shot through a window.

It has taken less then a decade, but here we are: we are all members of the mobile generation.

A few years ago I had a custom-fitted body form made for myself, which totally changed the way I fit clothes and alter patterns. Ever since, I've been telling anyone who'll listen how useful it is to have a full-scale duplicate of your body on hand when making clothes for yourself. But the process I used (making a surgical-plaster body mold, then filling it with an industrial foam) must have seemed a bit too costly and/or demanding, since not many people appear to have followed my advice.

I've recently been investigating other form-making methods that are so simple, quick, and inexpensive that I've returned to my original evangelical enthusiasm, and am ready to start shouting out the message once again: every sewer needs a dress form!

Whether it's Mardi Gras, a rock concert or just a bunch of people getting drunk together, if there are people willing to show some stuff they normally cover with their clothes, they have to be aware of the fact that they can end up on the internet on the Happy Flasher site. That was is packed with flashers end maybe they now regret they ever did that.

O.K. Ive heard of mother of toilet seat guitars,so this must be the mother of all toilet seat guitars. This is an auction for a Royal Flush toilet seat guitar.I havent been able to find a lot of imfo on this. Appears to be built in the 70s.

British beauty Keira Knightley has revealed she wants to have a clause written into her movie contracts - to ensure she always gets a snog with her leading man.

The brunette babe is currently working on Pirates Of The Caribbean 2 & 3 alongside Johnny Depp – but is disappointed she doesn't get to share a kiss with the US hunk.

When asked if she considered demanding a snog Keira told Company magazine: "I wish I’d thought of that, but, sadly, no.

"In five years’ time I’ll be like, 'I’m sorry, I need to be guaranteed a snog with my leading man. Write it into my contract!'"

The lucky actress did get to smooch hunky co-star Orlando Bloom in the Pirates movies.

A Turkish court has fined 20 people for using the letters Q and W on placards at a Kurdish new year celebration, under a law that bans use of characters not in the Turkish alphabet, rights campaigners said.

The court in the southeastern city of Siirt fined each of the 20 people 100 new lira ($75.53) for holding up the placards, written in Kurdish, at the event last year. The letters Q and W do not exist in the Turkish alphabet.

Under pressure from the European Union, Turkey has improved language and human rights for its Kurdish minority, but the EU says implementation has been patchy and loopholes remain.

For the first time, a majority of Americans believe the Iraq war was the "wrong thing to do", according to a poll published in The Wall Street Journal.

Fifty-three percent of those asked in the Harris Interactive survey felt that "taking military action against Iraq was the... wrong thing to do", against 34 percent who thought it was correct, the newspaper said.

The percentage of people opposing the US-led invasion of the country in March 2003 was up from a figure of 49 percent in a parallel poll in September, rising above 50 percent for the first time since the surveys began.

Wilma is still a Category 3 storm with 115 mph winds, and is moving at a brisk 53 mph off the coast of North Carolina. It is expected to absorb Alpha (a tropical depression that has slammed the Dominican Republic and Haiti), and to eventually join with a nor'easter developing in the region. Moisture and energy will increase to build the superstorm.

The southeastern Massachusetts coast is expected to experience the fiercest winds; advisories are also in place for Rhode Island and central Masssachusetts.

In what is believed to be a first in Canadian courts, an Edmonton man has been convicted of importing Japanese magazines containing cartoon child pornography.

Gordon Tshun Chin, 26, pleaded guilty yesterday in provincial court to importing child porn and was given a one-year conditional sentence to be served in the community.

Judge David Tilley told the slight, bespectacled young man he would have put him behind bars, but for the fact the images were drawn and therefore did not involve the actual exploitation of real children.

Tilley was shown an exhibit containing some of the disturbing images and he ordered it forfeited to the Crown.

A Russian woman was sentenced to six years in jail for selling her daughter for $10,000 even after being warned that the child’s organs would be sold, Russian news agencies reported on Tuesday.

An official release posted on the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office web-site said that Olga Zelentsova had been found guilty of human trafficking of a minor committed with the intent of the victim’s exploitation or withdrawal of the victim’s organs or tissues.

The court has established that unemployed Zelentsova, who also suffered from alcoholism, had tried to sell her six-year-old daughter for just $10,000 during the course of an undercover investigation.

The policeman who acted as a potential customer told the woman her daughter would be sexually abused and most likely used as a donor for bodily organs. In response Zelentsova handed him the girl’s birth certificate.

New, agile software now lets people quickly check flight options, see stock prices fluctuate and better manage their online photos and e-mail.

Such tools make computing less of a chore because they sit on distant Web servers and run over standard browsers. Users thus don't have to worry about installing software or moving data when they switch computers.

The threat (to software vendors like Microsoft)comes in large part from Ajax, a set of Web development tools that speeds up Web applications by summoning snippets of data as needed instead of pulling entire Web pages over and over.

Ironically, Microsoft invented Ajax in the late 90s and has used it for years to power an online version of its popular Outlook e-mail program.

Ajax's resurgence in recent months is thanks partly to its innovative use by Google Inc. to fundamentally change online mapping. Before, maps were static: Click on a left arrow, wait a few seconds as the Web page reloads and see the map shift slightly to the left. Repeat. Repeat again.

Attu visitors are already familiar with this technology. One of my first posts earlier this year presented an online Dictionary that displayed definitions to words. As each letter is typed, the possibilities got narrowed down until your term is displayed and defined.

Billy was one of the first guys in his neighborhood who could afford a big chrome bull bar on the hood of his pick up truck. Being the first in his town, he attracted a lot of attention with it. Especially the girls liked him and his car and he really took advantage of that fact.

Of course, this wouldn't last all that long, because all the guys got jealous and within three months you couldn't even find a car without a bull bar. But Billy was full of wild ideas and he invented this new type of bull bar. He doesn't get all the girls in his car anymore, but all the guys in town are once again very jealous. They all want to know how he installed this very strange bull bar.

A man got a prison term longer than prosecutors and defense attorneys had agreed to — all because of Celtics great Larry Bird.

The lawyers reached a plea agreement Tuesday for a 30-year term for a man accused of shooting with an intent to kill and robbery. But Eric James Torpy wanted his prison term to match Bird's jersey number 33.

"He said if he was going to go down, he was going to go down in Larry Bird's jersey," Oklahoma County District Judge Ray Elliott said Wednesday. "We accommodated his request and he was just as happy as he could be.

I know, I know, I was way too drunk when I came home last night. But it wasn't my fault that I covered the whole bathroom in piss. No, I told the bartender to stop serving me beer at the moment I....wait a minute. Sorry honey, I never told him that. I told him to give me more and more.

You want me to do what now? Take pissing lessons? Don't be stupid! I will only take them if you join me with those pissing lessons.

Playboy TV is looking for a person experienced in viewing programmes for television broadcast for compliance with Ofcom regulations, ideally with an understanding of the rules applied to late-night erotica.

Thirteen-year-old twins Lamb and Lynx Gaede have one album out, another on the way, a music video, and lots of fans.

They may remind you another famous pair of singers, the Olsen Twins, and the girls say they like that. But unlike the Olsens, who built a media empire on their fun-loving, squeaky-clean image, Lamb and Lynx are cultivating a much darker personna. They are white nationalists and use their talents to preach a message of hate.

Known as "Prussian Blue" — a nod to their German heritage and bright blue eyes — the girls from Bakersfield, Calif., have been performing songs about white nationalism before all-white crowds since they were nine.

"We're proud of being white, we want to keep being white," said Lynx. "We want our people to stay white … we don't want to just be, you know, a big muddle. We just want to preserve our race."

Three Spokane County deputies accused of staging a phony high-speed chase as a prank were suspended without pay Monday, Sheriff Mark Sterk said.

The pursuit through downtown Oct. 3 involved a uniformed deputy in a marked sheriff's patrol car chasing two plainclothes deputies who were driving an unmarked Ford Mustang.

The pursuit ended when city police officers, who rushed to assist, disabled the Mustang with a spike strip on a downtown street.

The police officers were not aware that the chase was phony and have been cleared of any wrongdoing.

Not much to say about this. Carmen Electra will always attract photographers. I have no idea what kind of magazine this shoot was for. But do we really care?

Six people were stabbed early Sunday during a melee at a 1-year-old's birthday party, police said. It apparently started when a downstairs neighbor went upstairs to complain about the noise.

The injured were taken to Hartford and St. Francis hospitals, where they were treated for stab wounds to their faces and necks. All were later released.

Police said they received several 911 calls around 12:45 a.m. They arrived at a two-family home on Crosby Street to find dozens of people running around in a thunderstorm. Some were screaming and bleeding.

A "fresh scandal is threatening to engulf the superstar Jackson clan with reports youngest sister Janet has a secret teenage daughter called Renee.

The singer's former brother-in-law, Young DeBarge, whose brother James was married to Jackson from 1984 to 1985, claims Renee now 18 was sent away to live with the star's eldest sister Rebbie.
"James and the Jackson family kept everything real close, real tight," DeBarge said during an interview on Friday with New York City urban radio station Hot 97.

"No one really knew how it was working out until things kind of surfaced. I think there's a little despondency.

"She hasn't really revealed that, but I'm sure that there's some feelings there.

"It's only natural that you wonder about what is and how it's come to be that way."

""There's no telling what (Janet Jackson) is telling her."

Ben Okuly thought he was ready to propose to his girlfriend, but first he needed Paul McCartney's approval.

Okuly was attending one of the former Beatle's concerts in suburban Detroit when he held up a sign that caught the McCartney's eye: "CAN BEN ASK MELISSA TO MARRY HIM?"

During the concert last week, McCartney spotted it and read it out loud, The Detroit News reported Friday.

"Well, go on, get down on your knees and ask her, Ben!" Sir Paul ordered. Okuly did, and she said yes.

"Well, that's a first for me," McCartney quipped of the in-concert engagement. "And I hope it's a last for you, Ben."

It's the one and only thing she is after: attention. And Paris Hilton makes sure she draws attention to her. Day in, day out.

MIT released a paper today revealing that people who try to dress as vampires only look as cool as an extra from Buffy the Vampire Slayer "in very rare circumstances."

The report diagnosed several symptoms of gothic confusion - from the fact that the color black doesn't suit overweight people, to the seductiveness of a death-like pallor.

"Sure, I kinda dig on girls who look like they're passing through the early stages of rigor mortis," said one research subject, who didn't wish to be named. "I try to ignore the fact that my attraction to white porcelain beauties has any connection to the effect of gravity pulling blood to the bottom of a recently deceased corpse."

I think you all know Floz. He is famous, here on Attu Sees All, for making the strangest comments. And every now and then he surprises me even more. Today I received an e-mail with this picture. He said he just couldn't resist to send it to me. What could be the cause of that?

They don't look good, but that's not their purpose. They are designed to let women take in part in sports comfortably. But not every woman in the world has heard about this product called the sports bra.

An attorney appealing his second drunken driving conviction was jailed Monday after he came to court intoxicated, officials said. A Saline County Circuit Court judge ordered 59-year-old Jerry Stewart jailed for contempt of court.

He was ordered held without bail until Thursday, when he is scheduled in court for an unrelated case. It was not known whether Thursday's court appearance involved two pending drunken driving charges.

Stewart faces a total of six years in prison and could be disbarred if convicted of a fourth felony offense, prosecutor Robert Herzfeld said.

Why would anyone hire such an attorney?

To Kara Mann, part of the fun comes from shocking guys who don't understand why any woman would want to take part in strongman competitions.

"Then they see me flip like a 750-pound tire," Mann said. "I do lots of fun things - like where they're flipping the 350 tire, and I go over there and flip the 750-pound tire right next to them."

Certainly an eye-opener.

The 5-foot-6 woman with long brown hair may look like any other student on Vanderbilt's campus, but she definitely likes to be different. That's why she's majoring in chemical engineering and spending her free time competing as a strongman - both male-dominated fields.

And Mann would love to have more women follow her.

"I love the sport. It has become my thing, and I want to try to get more people into it. More women need to try it because, honestly, it's empowering," Mann said.

Despite three years of attention by lawmaking committees and a steadily increasing roster of laws protecting intellectual property, China is a shopper's paradise for all things pirated—handbags, jewelry, movie DVDs, and, of course, software.

Vendors pushing wheelbarrows piled with CDs offer Windows 98, 2000 and XP for as little as 4 yuan—just 50 cents. A slightly higher-quality product is available from tiny, hole-in-the wall storefronts. There, a copy of the software still in its original packaging—or what looks like original packaging – is available for 18 yuan, or $2.25. Still a bargain.

"I want more Chinese to use the software and to get to know the advanced technology of the United States," explained the salesman.

They offer a great service. You can take your pet to Iguana Art and have a photo taken of the two of you. Before you go there you can check other people who have done so before. And it's good to see not everybody brought their dog or their cat. The brought some freaky exotic animals as well.

Lawyers for 150 Floridians accused of drunk driving have asked a court to order the disclosure of the source code for software running in the breathalyzer machines used by police to analyze their blood alcohol level, according to a Tom Sanders story on vunet.

The defendants say they have the right to examine the machines that accused them, and that a meaningful examination requires access to the machines’ software. Prosecutors say the code is a trade secret.

Flowers and tributes were left in an alleyway where the body of a mystery dead baby was found - before police realised it was only a chicken foetus.

A member of the public discovered the remains in a back alley in the Anfield area of Liverpool.

Police cordoned off the scene but soon realised that it was not a human but a chicken foetus. Well-wishers had laid more than a dozen bunches of flowers at the scene, along with cards and teddy bears.

One of the cards read: "RIP Little Baby. Safe in the arms of Jesus. From someone who is a loving mother xxxx." Merseyside Police told the community on Monday to "stop grieving, it's only a chicken".

The annual worldwide press freedom index from Reporters Without Borders shows the United States, which is supposedly spreading freedom and liberty throughout the world, is in a fast decline regarding the freedom of its own press.

The report ranked the United States in 44th place, an atomic drop from a favorable position of 22nd held last year, and from a handsome 17th place in 2002.

The organization mentioned that several journalists were expelled from the country since the terrorist attacks of 2001.

European nations Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Iceland, the Netherlands, Norway and Switzerland tied for first. North Korea was ranked last out of 167 countries surveyed.

A Melbourne council has explained how one of its parking officers issued a fine to a man who had been dead in his parked car for several days.

Maroondah City Council parking officers stuck the fine on the windscreen of the man's car on Wednesday at the Croydon Market shopping centre in Melbourne's outer eastern suburbs.

A police spokeswoman confirmed that police discovered the deceased man, 71, yesterday and found a parking ticket on the windscreen of his car. He had been reported missing to police nine days ago and was known to be seriously ill.

Maroondah mayor Paul Denham said in a statement today that the parking officer had not noticed the man when he attached the parking fine to the windscreen.

A Chinese performance artist appeared in city court Monday for wading naked into the rapids above Niagara Falls as part of a stunt that went wrong.

He Yun Chang, 38, of Beijing was charged with disorderly conduct and exposing himself in public, both violations, after being arrested by Niagara Park Police Saturday afternoon.

He was ordered to return to court Nov. 4.

Police said the man stripped off his clothes and waded to within 40 to 50 yards of the brink of the falls. He tried anchoring himself with a rope to an unknown object, intending to stay in the water for 24 hours, but the knot came loose and so he began making his way back to shore.

Master of the 'teardown', Eric Pratt from iSuppli Corp. specializes in stripping down gadgets and finding out how much they're really worth. Eric brought three of our favorite gadgets to dissect: the Mac mini, the iPod Nano and the Game Boy Micro.

The Mac mini which retails for $499 is actually worth $283 in parts and labor. The 2 Gig iPod Nano retails for $199, but is actually worth $103 in parts and labor. The most expensive component is actually the iPod Nano's 2 Gigs of memory.

Eric finished up with a G4 exclusive teardown of the Game Boy Micro which retails for $100. The actual cost of the Micro is only $44. The screen on the GB Micro is actually the most expensive component.

A Hummer limo filled with people celebrating a birthday party turned into a wild ride early Sunday after a man attempted to steal it, San Antonio Police said. What the suspect did not realize was there were 15 people in the back of the limo.

Twenty-one-year-old Noe Ochoa was arrested, police said. He was held down by people in the limo until officers arrived.

Party-goers could not believe what was happening. “The Hummer starts to move and everybody's like, ‘What's going on?’” Kenneth Thornton said. His friends had rented the limo for Kenneth’s 28th birthday.

The limo driver was apparently in the back talking to one of the 15 the passengers when Ochoa jumped in to the Hummer, police said. Thorton crawled through the privacy window to stop the suspected carjacker.

“I flip the park on the Hummer, and it screeches us to a halt,” Thorton said. “Then, I put him in a choke hold until they can get out and pull him out.”

Ochoa appeared before a judge early Sunday with a black eye and several cuts. He was charged with stealing the limo. Ochoa told police his friends ditched him so he needed a ride.

Mexicans and stranded tourists, hungry and frustrated after a two-day beating by Hurricane Wilma, stood in line to buy supplies Sunday or simply raided grocery or furniture stores, dragging goods from shops ripped open by the storm.

The hurricane's steady march toward southern Florida meant an end here to two days of howling winds and torrential rains that shattered windows, peeled away roofing and sent the ocean crashing into hotel lobbies. The sun emerged over Mexico's sugar-white Caribbean beaches.

Will we get another photoshopping contest with a Mexican looter?

A camera lense that allows one to see through clothes and other hard surfaces has been introduced by a US Company.

The lense that could well result in it being banned because of its perve potential is called the "Infrared See-Through Filter PF". The PF is a special optical device that helps to visually penetrate an object's surface in order to view whatever lies below. The PF makes it possible for you to see images that are normally invisible to the human eye. It sounds like science-fiction but it isn't, this new product has been developed using newly developed advanced optical technology.

Kaya Special Optics have specialised in manufacturing special optical devices for the past 30 years and their new lense is set to be a big hit with perves and security companies. The 52mm Infra See through PF4 lense has to be fitted to either a digital still or video camera. The manufacturers claim that the Infrared See-Through Filter PF can't totally penetrate all surfaces but it can provide a high degree of "see-through".

Cancer experts have applauded Kylie Minogue's rejection of new-age treatments for her breast cancer.

The pop princess says she is sticking with traditional medicine, dismissing reports she has resorted to holistic healing methods to beat the disease. Minogue, 37, is undergoing chemotherapy in Paris after being diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer while in Australia in May.

Reports she was consulting London-based health guru Dr Nish Joshi and was obsessed with a fruit juice diet were scotched in a statement issued by her management at the weekend.

"Kylie has made it clear ... that she doesn't want fellow sufferers to be misguided by false stories regarding her condition and her choice of doctors," the statement said.

"Despite the wealth of rumours to the contrary, she is in good spirits and is as healthy as can be expected whilst undergoing her treatment regime in Paris."

The 1911 theft of the "Mona Lisa," when the self-styled Marques Eduardo de Valfierno paid three men to steal it from the Louvre in Paris, is usually seen as the first great art heist of the 20th century. Since that time, countless thousands of works of major and minor art have been stolen, whether by professional thieves or as the result of war. The extraordinary thing is not how many pieces have been stolen but how many have been recovered.


Sadly, though, while the following list of the world's greatest postwar art thefts reveals that most of the work stolen from museums, galleries and private collections has been returned, many are still missing.

An advertising boss left dinner guests gasping when he dismissed women workers as “wimps” and “crap”.

Motormouth Brummie Neil French said: “Women don’t make it to the top because they don’t deserve to — they’re crap.”

Mr French, 61, employed by the giant WPP Group, moaned that women didn’t stay in jobs — choosing to “wimp out and go suckle something”.

Nancy Vonk, a fellow WPP executive who was at the £70-a-head dinner in Toronto, Canada, reported Mr French’s comments in an internet article.

Pilots flying into and out of a small airport north of Anchorage, Alaska, no longer have to keep an eye out for stray moose on the runway.

The municipal airport at Wasilla, a town about 40 miles (65 km) north of Anchorage, has installed an electric anti-moose mat around the airfield.

The barrier, similar to grated cattle guards on ranches, aims to prevent collisions between aircraft and the area's large moose population.

"They'd feel a shock and they'd also hear a snap. Those two things would cause the moose to not go in there," said Archie Giddings, public works director for Wasilla.

Airfield workers regularly had to chase the large ungulates away and moose have proved adept at getting through the gates of the airport's conventional fence, Giddings said.

Tropical Storm Alpha set a record by becoming the 22nd named storm of the 2005 season. Alpha made landfall over Hispaniola Sunday morning. But as the storm traveled inland, it interacted with the mountains, causing the storm to weaken back into a tropical depression. The storm is back over the warm Atlantic waters, but is too weak to strengthen back into a tropical storm.....

Britney Spears threatened to take legal action Friday after pictures of her newborn son popped up on the Internet, apparently stolen from a private photo shoot.

At least two Web sites showed photos of Spears embracing her child, as well as a family portrait.

A statement released late Friday by Spears' record label, Jive Records, said the photos were swiped from a private photo session. Anyone who publishes, sells or otherwise exploits any of these images in any way will be subject to liability and damages for willful infringement of copyright, and will be liable for invasion of privacy," the statement read.

The pop star gave birth to her first child last month.

Spears and her husband, Kevin Federline, recently made their first public appearance since the infant was born, but there have been no clear images of the baby until now.

The main light source of the future will almost surely not be a bulb. It might be a table, a wall, or even a fork.

An accidental discovery announced this week has taken LED lighting to a new level, suggesting it could soon offer a cheaper, longer-lasting alternative to the traditional light bulb. The miniature breakthrough adds to a growing trend that is likely to eventually make Thomas Edison's bright invention obsolete.

LEDs are already used in traffic lights, flashlights, and architectural lighting. They are flexible and operate less expensively than traditional lighting.

A recent survey revealed:

More than 80 per cent admitted that they were aware of the 'Harry met Sally syndrome' and feared that having sex with a friend would ruin the friendship. But, of those who had close friends of the opposite sex, 56 per cent of women and 65 per cent of men said they had considered taking the friendship to another level. And of the seven in 10 people who did, only a third said sex had destroyed the friendship.

She tried her best baking a cake for that party, but it all went wrong. Ah wel...It was a nice cake.

A woman wore nothing but a red G-string when she attacked and killed her boyfriend's estranged wife who had just found them in bed together, a court was told yesterday.

Kathleen Schroeder, 43, appeared in the Brisbane Magistrate's Court charged with murdering Narelle Nix-Barclay, also 43, in February. That charge was dismissed after argument from defence counsel Peter Shields and she was committed to stand trial in the Supreme Court on the lesser count of manslaughter.

The committal hearing was told that Mrs Nix-Barclay discovered Schroeder and her estranged husband, Scott Nix-Barclay, in bed at his Wynnum West home and began lashing out and screaming abuse.

The two women began pulling each other's hair and then the dispute, also involving a naked Mr Nix-Barclay, moved out on to the front lawn of the home.

A teacher has been found guilty of "snogging" a 15-year-old pupil. Shelley White, 25, was convicted by a jury at Leeds Crown Court of kissing the teenager twice in a classroom and once in a store cupboard.

White, of High Green, Sheffield, had denied three counts of abuse of trust by sexual activity with a child.

The teacher, who is awaiting sentence, claimed the 6ft pupil had made advances towards her and physically assaulted her at the school in West Yorkshire.

The jury took just over 11 hours to reach a majority verdict on each count.

At the start of the case, prosecutor Richard Newbury told the jury: "This case is about a school teacher who, in the course of her employment, snogged - that's her word - a pupil three times in less than a week."

The teenager told the jury he had been alone with White when she first kissed him in June last year and they had talked about having sex.

So your girlfriend dreams of being the next Cindy Crawford. That isn't as hot as if she dreams of being the next Jenna Jameson (just for you), but at least she wants to look really, really good so she'll get the attention she craves. You turn into a drooling dog when you see a really hot girl walking down the street so you'll feel 10-feet-tall when you walk into a place with a hottie on your arm.

Share your honey with the rest of the world -- at least the looking part. Whether you want to enter your girlfriend or wife in the "Is She Hot?" contest or just want some nice pics for your private enjoyment, you can learn to shoot her like one of the pros. Well, sorta.

Somewhere between 7,000 to 4,000 B.C., in Mesopotamia, in the Kingdom of Sumeria, women invented beer. Early agriculture in the "fertile crescent" was centered around grains. Those grains, pregnant with possibility, became bread and, eventually, beer. Sumerian women were both the first brewers and the first gods of beer. By adding a trace amount of my vaginal yeast to regular brewer's yeast, my "Original Pussy Beer" pays homage to beer's ancient creators from "the cradle of civilization." Woman is literally reunited with the beer.

"Walid Elias Kai, a Ph.D. candidate in search engine marketing, is, it must be said, an avid fan of our company. Dr. Kai, who is Lebanese, and his Swedish wife Carol live in Kalmar, Sweden, where their son was born on September 12. His name? Oliver Google Kai.

About this choice, Dr. Kai writes, "When we first knew that my wife Carol is pregnant, I said, 'we will name our child Google.' Everyone laughed and did not take me seriously. My brother said, 'Yeah, name the next one yahoo fuji nikon." And then, says Dr. Kai, the day came to make the baby official in the Swedish Registry. "I was with my friend Magnus Foss and my wife Carol, and I said yes, GOOGLE KAI. Carol knew how serious I am – she knows how much I adore Google services."

Of course, there's a website devoted to young Mr. Kai. We wish him long life and good health, and hope his schoolmates aren't too hard on him."

Hundreds of people flocked to a village in central India Thursday to see if an astrologer who forecast his own death would indeed die as predicted. But the 75-year-old man survived the day.

Kunjilal Malviya, who lives south of the Madhya Pradesh state capital Bhopal, had been meditating in his house after announcing he would die Thursday between 3 p.m. and 5 p.m.

A police official confirmed the astrologer was fine and quoted his family members as saying the prediction failed because many of those gathered had prayed for him to live.

Awhile ago, my husband Brian said "wouldn't it be funny if you were sitting on the subway reading a book and on the front cover it said, How to Murder a Complete Stranger and Get Away with It? Imagine what people around you would think, especially when you finally finished the book".

Now, that in itself seems like a strange statement unless you know my husband. He's been saying, "wouldn't it be great if......" for as long as I've known him and after 15 years, I have perfected the "Brain Filter". Yes I said "Brain" not "Brian", a little nickname he picked up after years of listening to his many ideas!

So here we are, there are 23 covers to choose from. Some are a little racy like How to Make Your Mother A Porn Star and How to Overcome Nymphomania (put that one in your bathroom, with a bookmark and become a hero!). Come on in and take a look at all the covers.

Now I know why you have to be at least 21 years old to buy alcohol in the United States. It is not because the government thinks you get too drunk too soon. No, certainly not. It's because there are women who go to the liquor store and get wild just by the smell of booze. And the guys in the grey suits in Washington want to keep those women to themselves. Now is that fair or not?

A Michigan chiropractor has had his license suspended after state investigators charged that he fondled two teenagers after telling the girls that their breasts were "uneven" and in need of adjustment. In a complaint filed by the state's Department of Community Health, Robert Moore is accused of negligence and lack of moral character in connection with his care of the teens, both of whom worked for him at TLC Chiropractic.

The girls, aged 16 and 17 at the time of the 2003-2004 treatments, gave investigators detailed accounts of how Moore, 40, pawed them. Both noted that, as a condition of employment, Moore told them that they would have to submit to "spinal adjustments at the beginning and end of each work shift."

Michael Jackson has been summoned back to court -- as a juror. Jackson received a jury summons at his Neverland Valley Ranch, four months after he was acquitted of child molestation charges.

It's unlikely that Jackson will show up for jury selection. His lawyers have filed paperwork for a deferment based on the fact that he now lives in Bahrain. His former defense lawyer said Jackson is now "permanently living outside of the United States."

If CBS brings back its successful Rock Star: INXS for a second season, rumor has it the next band in line is California's Van Halen.

This summer's inaugural season was a ratings winner for CBS and a reputation enhancer for reality TV producer Mark Burnett -- and it gave INXS a new singer, a new hit single, an upcoming album and a world tour.

CBS has remained hush-hush on whether Rock Star will return next summer, but MTV reports if it does, look for Eddie and Alex Van Halen along with bassist Michael Anthony in the judges' chairs originally filed by INXS.

Manchester United footballer Cristiano Ronaldo's agent has strongly denied a claim that the player raped a woman in a London hotel.

The Portuguese international was released on Wednesday night after being questioned about a claim that a woman was sexually assaulted on 2 October.

Jorge Mendes said in a statement that the allegation was the "product of imagination and fantasy". Police confirmed a man in his 20s had been released pending more inquiries.

An ice cream vendor severely slashed a Bangkok dentist with a sword after accusing him of pulling the wrong tooth, police said Wednesday.

Somboon Saisida, 43, stormed Pornpoj Suriwong's clinic on Tuesday and assaulted him over allegations that he mistreated Somboon three years ago by leaving an infected tooth in his mouth and pulling a healthy one, police Lt. Prapas Yongsatar said.

Somboon claimed this error led to weakness in his left arm and leg, and eventually left him incapable of paddling his ice cream tricycle cart, forcing him to stop working.

A woman has been convicted of killing her husband by duct-taping him to an office chair, bludgeoning him in the head and stabbing him in the eye with scissors.

Immediately after the jury's verdict Tuesday, the judge sentenced Nancy Larios to life in prison without parole.

Larios, 56, could have been sentenced to death because jurors agreed she had killed high school teacher Luis Larios for financial gain. Prosecutors said she stood to receive more than $1 million, including a $425,000 life insurance policy taken out just before her husband's death in 2004.

Nancy Larios hit her 59-year-old husband in the head with what may have been an iron and jabbed scissors into his eye, prosecutors said. The blow and the stab wound were both fatal, the coroner said.

"There's not only confusion; there's fighting over it," says J. Dennis Fortenberry, a physician who specializes in adolescent medicine at the Indiana University School of Medicine. "People disagree fairly vehemently."

Indiana Pacers guard Stephen Jackson, contending that a new ban on chains worn over clothing is "a racist statement" from the league, wore every long, diamond-studded chain in his collection Tuesday night as a protest.

Jackson voiced no opposition to the bulk of the "business casual" demands in the NBA's new dress code, but he described the jewelry ban as "attacking young black males."

"I think it's a racist statement because a lot of the guys who are wearing chains are my age and are black," said Jackson, 27. "I wore all my jewelry today to let it be known that I'm upset with it.

A sacked insurance broker who repeatedly came to work drunk - and even urinated in a wastepaper bin - has been awarded $10,000 compensation after claiming discrimination against his attention deficit disorder.

Mr Ware worked in various roles for OAMPS Insurance Brokers. He admitted in court he had frequently returned late from long lunches - particularly on Fridays - when he consumed alcohol and had been warned not to come back to work inebriated.

He also admitted he had alcohol problems and was a binge drinker.

Adam Krawesky started photographing people on the streets of Toronto in the summer of 2002. At first, he was hesitant to approach strangers with a camera, so he instead approached them with a concession; he asked to photograph them with their hands covering their faces, to assuage his own fear of confrontation and the stranger's suspicion of the lens.

The result, in this brief but telling body of work, are portraits of people with hands that can't lie, of fashions and clothing that do not deceive, of hairstyles, hats and the ornamentation of jewelry, of surroundings and backgrounds that inform and color the character of their primary subjects. What I notice is the truth that comes through from the hands and the postures of the people behind them. The play-acting of hiding reveals more than a common portrait might ever reveal.

Anheuser-Busch will discontinue a national promotion called "Bud Pong," a drinking game the company says is supposed to be played with water.

However, participants in the game — played with a ping pong ball and plastic cups — often were drinking beer as they lost points, according to a front-page story Sunday in The New York Times.

The No. 1 U.S. brewer has been promoting Bud Pong competitions since July, supplying tables, balls and glasses to wholesalers across the United States.

Players on one team try to sink a ball into another team's liquid-filled cups. If successful, the opposing team must drink.

New York is the last remaining U.S. jurisdiction to require fault (or living apart pursuant to a legal agreement) as a predicate for divorce but being denied sex only once does not constitute grounds for divorce, no matter how bad the marriage, a Queens judge has ruled.

The argument for eating Aliens

• Aliens come here uninvited.


• They ate Elvis.


• They mutilate our cattle, and probe abductees by shoving probes in their rectum and performing other unspeakable acts upon unsuspecting victims.


• They are plentiful, more plentiful than the strained seas and land resources, and they seem to be coming in increasing numbers (if you beleive what some people are saying).


• They are Kosher meat.


• They taste good if prepared well.


• According to some,they mess around with the Space Shuttle, when astronauts launch sattelites.


• Their meat is safer than British Beef.

Actress/comedian Roseanne Barr, who claims to be a psychic (“I channel the higher mind, the higher universal mind”), used the made-up word “overcomeable” and employed teenage phrases such as “like” and “totally,” insisted on Monday night's Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC that she would win a battle of intelligence with President Bush.

Barr recounted how she's “going around telling jokes about our country and our people and the world and how screwed up everything is. And I just basically bitch.” She soon maintained about Bush: "I could totally win him in a mind contest."

Troubled movie star Tom Sizemore claims he bedded Paris Hilton when she was a teenager.

The Saving Private Ryan star, who has been in and out of court fighting drug and domestic abuse charges over the last two years, is the star of Vivid Entertainment's new sex tape The Tom Sizemore Sex Scandal.

The video features the self-proclaimed sex addict having "inexhaustible sex" with up to four young women at a time. But, even more shocking is what the 44-year-old actor says about an alleged one-night stand with socialite Paris Hilton in 2001 - when she was just 19.

He claims Hilton stayed behind after a party he threw and suggested quite explicitly that they have sex together. Sizemore alleges that the heiress showed him a very good time, adding, "She knew what she could do to people."

Okay, but there are two sides to this story, because Paris Hilton denies this ever happened.

So who are we going to believe: sex-addict Tom, or attention whore Paris?

Music may one day be very close to a woman's chest, with BT futurology which manufactures computer chips that store music, creating a MP3 player that can be implanted into a woman's breasts.

And while one breast could hold an MP3 player, the other the person's favourite music collection.

BT Laboratories' analyst Ian Pearson said flexible plastic electronics would sit inside the breast. A signal would be relayed to headphones, while the device would be controlled by Bluetooth using a panel on the wrist.

"It is now very hard for me to thing of breast implants as just decorative. If a woman has something implanted permanently, it might as well do something useful," The Sun quoted Ian Pearson as saying.

The company said it could be available within 15 years.

And that company seriously thinks that in 15 years people still know what an MP3 is? By that time it's replaced by something else, I am pretty sure about that.

Hurricane Katrina evacuees using federal assistance money are living the high life with alcohol and strippers in Massachusetts, the Boston Herald said Tuesday.

The newspaper's investigation recorded "a virtual parade of evacuees from a bus stop in the Wal-Mart parking lot in Falmouth to nearby liquor stores.

"Some emerged and openly swilled from brown-bagged containers, while others poured booze into jugs or plastic cups and casually sipped drinks at the Wal-Mart bus stop."

At a Mashpee strip club, a dancer named Angel told the newspaper she had done several lap dances for evacuees, who tipped her $5 each time.

There go your tax-dollars....

British tourists looking for a peaceful fortnight in the sun found themselves trapped in a sleazy resort surrounded by sex-crazed swingers. The group, including several pensioners, arrived at the 4-Star Blue Bay Getaway hotel in the Mexican resort of Cancun on a last-minute deal with Airtours.

But they had not bargained for round-the-clock nude romps in the pool, oral sex tequila games by the bar and lesbian shows.

When the couples complained on their first day, a tour rep said they would have to put up with the depravity unless they wanted to pay up to £600 to move to another 4-star hotel or have a free transfer to an inferior hotel with no discount.

After they returned to Britain, some received letters from Airtours but no compensation.

Engineers are testing a new kind of transparent armor -- stronger and lighter than traditional materials -- that could stop armor-piercing weapons from penetrating vehicle windows.

The Air Force Research Laboratory's materials and manufacturing directorate is testing aluminum oxynitride -- ALONtm -- as a replacement for the traditional multi-layered glass transparencies now used in existing ground and air armored vehicles.

The test is being done in conjunction with the Army Research Laboratory at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, Md., and University of Dayton Research Institute, Ohio.

ALONtm is a ceramic compound with a high compressive strength and durability. When polished, it is the premier transparent armor for use in armored vehicles, said. 1st Lt. Joseph La Monica, transparent armor sub-direction lead.

Welcome to the official site of the saddest caveman in the world:

A Michigan City man called police to report his car missing, but did not mention that his 4-month-old son had been left inside it, authorities said.

Porter County police officers found the car with the boy inside about 11 p.m. Sunday, parked in front of a home a few miles northwest of Valparaiso. They were called by the home's resident, who found the car with the driver's door open, the child inside, and no one else around.

Officers said the baby's father, William Kersey, 30, called two hours later to report the car missing.

A controversial London bombing scene in Hugo Weaving's new action film, V for Vendetta, will not be removed, the movie's Hollywood producer has confirmed.

Joel Silver said the scene in the film should not be compared to the July 7 terrorist bombings of London's transport network that killed 52 people.
"It has nothing to do with what happened," Silver, in LA promoting another film, his new comedy, Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang, said.

V for Vendetta, also starring Natalie Portman and directed by Australia's James McTeigue, is based on the popular DC comic of the same name.

Despite the comic and script being written years ahead of the July 7 bombings of London's Underground and a bus, there are hauntingly similar themes.

About 22 people have been arrested for apparently trying to stone a grieving father after his daughter's funeral on Saturday.

His daughter died when she drove into a tree, but the mob accused her father of using witchcraft to cause her death, said superintendent Ailwei Mushavhanamadi of Vhembe police in Limpopo on Monday.

The mob was part of the mourners who had attended the woman's funeral at NwaXinyama village near Makhado.

They even went to the dead woman's home for food afterwards, but then started gossiping about whether she'd been bewitched.

A Salt Lake County man died Saturday in a tragic fall while hiking with friends and their dogs in American Fork Canyon.

The accident happened in the Dry Creek area near Alpine when a 21-year-old man fell 100 feet to his death in an attempt to rescue a puppy, according to authorities.

Justin Cunningham was hiking the area with three other men and three dogs. At some point, Cunningham's puppy jumped into a stream and was swept away.

The man jumped in and tried to save the dog but police say he may have leapt before he looked.

Tropical Storm Wilma is likely to become a full-blown hurricane soon as it gathers strength in the Caribbean and aims at Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, Cuba and south Florida, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said on Tuesday.

In the most active storm season for decades, vicious hurricanes have already battered the U.S. Gulf coast, killing many and halting much of the United States' oil industry. In Guatemala and El Salvador, Hurricane Stan caused floods and landslides that killed more than 1,000 people.

"Wilma is expected to become an intense hurricane in the northwestern Caribbean Sea," National Hurricane Center said on its website. Wilma was almost a hurricane already with maximum sustained winds of near 70 miles per hour (110 kph), it added.

Oil markets have been watching Wilma's progress nervously, afraid it could strike Gulf of Mexico oil and gas facilities that are still reeling from Hurricanes Rita and Katrina. But the threat to energy interests appears to have eased as forecasters predict the storm will turn toward Florida.

An elderly man crashed his car into the Burger King in downtown Wausau on Friday morning.

The man smashed his car into the main entrance at about 9:30 a.m. He got out of the car, went inside and asked to be served breakfast. Burger King employees served the man, who was found inside eating his breakfast when police arrived.

The store's entrance sustained heavy damage, but employees continued to serve patrons who made their way into the restaurant.

Hopeful Microsoft applicant Egon Zigga stared blankly into the MS recruiter's cold glaring eyes. He felt an uneasy settling in his lower digestive tract coupled with an involuntary 'blurp!'

"Mr. Zigga, Mr. Zigga. Microsoft would love to continue the hiring process, but it seems a major snag has been brought to our attention by our Human Resource research staff. We Googled your name online, and it seems on May 3, 1999, your referred to Mr. Bill Gates as a 'Whiney effeminate golden retriever wuffling behind the wainscoting of an inferior operating system and handcuffing the world with a browser with more holes in it than genuine Emmenthaler Swiss Cheese.'

Unable to use their wireless phones to call for help in a conventional way, the pilot and passenger of a small plane that crashed in the rugged Ozark National Forest used text-messaging to contact their parents, who summoned help.

Adam Young, 22, and passenger Brittney Cozart, 19, had flown from Little Rock to a northern Arkansas resort for lunch Sunday and were returning when Young was forced to crash land the single-engine Cessna, Baxter County Sheriff John Montgomery said.

Cozart text-messaged her mother, who first contacted authorities, Montgomery said. About an hour later, Young was able to message his father with the downed plane's location.

A friend of mine works in law enforcement. The other day she and I were discussing the recent election, and I mentioned that I voted for a libertarian for the second time ever. From here we segued into a discussion of libertarianism in general and I mentioned that I thought all acts between consenting adults should be legal, including prostitution. "I mean, porn movies are legal," I said, "and that's practically the same thing"

"Wait a minute," I said, confused. "That's exactly the same thing. Are they all porn movies in Nevada or The Netherlands or something?"

"I think most of them are made in California," my friend said.

"How does that work?" said I. "I can't legally pay someone to have sex with me, but I can pay someone to have sex with someone else? And film it?"

"You can legally pay someone to have sex with you if you film it," my friend added. "Because, in that instance, you're not paying them for the sex, you're paying them for acting.'"

Some 20 years after public screenings of films were banned, the first cinema will open next month in ultraconservative Saudi Arabia, but showing only cartoons, a source from the firm handling the project said on Sunday.

The cinema will open for women and children at a Riyadh hotel at the Eid Al Fitr feast at the end of the Muslim holy fasting month of Ramadan on November 2 or 3, said the source who requested anonymity.

Only cartoons...well, what is your favorite cartoon ever?

Are you afraid of the number 666? If you were issued an automobile license plate or a telephone number that included a string of three sixes would you ask for a different number? Do you think the number 666 is inherently evil? Do you believe any number can in and of itself be evil?

The issue of Fate magazine that you are holding in your hands right at this moment is issue number 666. The 666th word in this article is "dead." Does this make you just a little bit nervous?

If it does, you are not alone. There is a name for your condition - "Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia" - the fear of the number 666.

For a lot of people the number 666 is particularly terrifying. After all, it's the devil's number, isn't it? For the better part of 2,000 years many in the Western world have certainly thought so. What is it about these three digits that makes so many of us uncomfortable.

Two children are in hospital after two petrol-pump attendants apparently threw brake fluid into their eyes and tried to make them drink bleach.

Inspector Anna-Mart April of the social-crime prevention unit said on Tuesday that two suspects had been arrested at 19:00 on Monday night when they came on duty.

They were to be charged with assault with the intent to do grievous bodily harm and child abuse.

What's up with Kate Moss? Nothing much, actually. She is just a girl who happens to make too much money for a girl her age and she can't live with that. Sex, drugs and rock 'n roll. Not too good for humans. Although.... A lot of you would like to live it as well.

Here's what's going on with Kate Moss at the Pirelli 2006 calendar shoot backstage. Not too shocking, maybe even a bit boring, if you ask me.

A mother-of-three who killed the family's cat by deliberately putting it in a washing machine has been jailed.
Fluffy the cat took up to 10 minutes to die after 34-year-old Holly Thacker put the animal in the machine at her home in Hellesdon, Norwich, a court heard.

Vets told the court that Fluffy was gripping to the washer's metal drum so tightly its claws broke off as it spun round. Eventually the cat drowned.

Thacker, who denied cruelty, was jailed for six weeks by Norwich magistrates. Magistrates heard that Thacker had told her ex-husband, Simon, she had put the cat in the washing machine because it had scratched her.

She allegedly bragged: "I put it on boil wash as well." She then showed Mr Thacker the cat's body in a plastic bag.

A chicken toy that squawks and flaps its wings when strangled is "grossly irresponsible" and sends the wrong message to young children, a spokesman for a leading animal welfare group said Tuesday.

The toy is manufactured by a Taiwanese company and is widely available in toy and electronics stores across Australia. It is marketed for children over 3.

A product description on the Web site of Jaycar Electronics, a major Australian importer of toy, says: "Grab him by the neck and he will squawk and cluck like mad, flapping his wings and feet wildly as if he is really being choked."

But Michael Beatty, a spokesman for the Queensland state branch of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said the toy was "grossly irresponsible" and sent the wrong message to young children.

Two neighbors were recovering Tuesday after getting into a fight over the color of a house. Michael Dudley's house in Oviedo is tan with black trim and his neighbor Sam Awhal painted his the same color.

The sheriff's report said Dudley was mad about this, went over, had a word with Awhal, and then hit him. The man who was painting Awhal's house jumped in the fight to help.

"He got very upset ... literally attacked ... 'cause of black paint," said painter Steve Yaworski.

A Brooklyn father getting a tattoo called "Last Rites" inked into his flesh passed out and crashed headfirst into a glass counter yesterday, killing himself, police and witnesses said.
Joaquin Laguer, 27, nearly was decapitated during the horrific accident inside Buzz Tattoo, an unlicensed parlor in East Williamsburg.

"There was nothing I could do," said shaken tattoo artist Julio Ramos, 36. "I was kneeling next to him, praying to God. My assistant said, 'He's gone.'"

Laguer, an aspiring model and rapper, felt faint soon after Ramos finished inking the outline of an abstract, wizardlike tattoo onto his right forearm.

Men who cannot have sex are as much at risk of having a heart attack as smokers and diabetics.

Erectile dysfunction may be a sign that coronary artery disease is developing, even in men without the typical risk factors.
Researchers said the findings were alarming because almost 70 per cent of men suffering problems with erections do not seek medical advice. They said erectile dysfunction should be added to the list of risk factors for heart disease alongside high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes and smoking.

"Erectile dysfunction should be part of a cardiovascular risk assessment," said Emilio Chiurlia, a researcher from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia in Modena, Italy, who conducted the study.

The researchers studied 70 men with erectile dysfunction and 73 control subjects who had similar coronary risk factors.

A West Sacramento man is facing charges that he solicited an undercover police officer to perform a sex act on his teenage foster son.

The man was arrested on suspicion of soliciting a prostitute and contributing to the delinquency of a minor, West Sacramento police Lt. Dave Farmer said.

The 16-year-old boy and five other foster children were immediately removed from the man's house, Farmer said. The man's name was not released to protect the identity of the foster children, who range in age from 4 to 16.

Police said the man, with the boy in the car, approached a female undercover officer and request a sex act for the 16-year-old.

A special panel will meet in Volusia County Monday to begin deliberations about a book assigned to students that at least one woman calls pornography.

In August, the mother of an 11th-grade student in Deland, Vikki Reed, said a 1992 novel, "Cracking India" by Bapsi Sihwal, given to her daughter to read by a Deland High School teacher is not suitable for students and should be banned.

The novel details historic events in India in the 1940s through the eyes of a young girl. However, Reed said it discusses oral sex and should not be assigned to students.

"The real issue is a 9-year-old girl having or being introduced to oral sex by her cousin who is going through puberty," Reed said. "To me, that is totally inappropriate. I don't know where learning about India would involve learning about oral sex."

Reed's complaint is based on four pages of the 289-page book.

The Goliath beetle, Goliathus goliatus, is among the largest and most spectacular of all African cetoniine scarabs. An inhabitant of tropical forests, it ranges across much of the continent's equatorial zone, and has the widest distribution of any species in its genus. In recent years, various Goliathus species (especially G. goliatus) have become more popular with beetle hobbyists as a better understanding of the particular needs of these beetles has been gained.

Although by no means one of the easier cetoniines to rear in captivity, with a bit of patience and effort, it is certainly possible to maintain Goliathus through multiple generations.

Although little appears to be known precisely about the biology of Goliathus in the wild, through considerable trial and error I have been able to formulate a captive rearing method for G. goliatus which has enabled me to keep the species in continuous culture since May of 1999, as well as produce adults which are of comparable size to many wild collected specimens.

A woman who hasn't paid a $1.16 income tax bill to this Cincinnati suburb faces a stiff penalty — up to 18 months in jail and $4,000 in fines.

City officials say Deborah Combs hasn't filed city income tax returns for five years. Combs says she has been mostly unemployed since 2000 and didn't realize she had to file the returns until the city notified her in February about the violation.

By that time, Combs owed $200 in late fees — $50 for each year she didn't file a return.

"I don't know how they could charge me the fees if I didn't owe anything," Combs said. Loveland officials say everyone is required to file an annual return, regardless of income level.

Daily newspaper Jyllands-Posten is facing accusations that it deliberately provoked and insulted Muslims by publishing twelve cartoons featuring the prophet Mohammed.

The newspaper urged cartoonists to send in drawings of the prophet, after an author complained that nobody dared to illustrate his book on Mohammed. The author claimed that illustrators feared that extremist Muslims would find it sacrilegious to break the Islamic ban on depicting Mohammed.

Someone at Florida's Monroe County Sheriff's Office was having some fun last Friday while compiling the daily online arrest registry. Along with mug shots and pedigree information on Florida Keys residents nabbed for such things as probation violations and cocaine sales, one "Juan Llama" appeared in connection with his misdemeanor arrest for "loitering-or prowling" at Key West High School. The occupation of the 19-year-old Llama, who looks younger in his booking photo, was listed as "stuffed llama."

Two Bulgarian border policemen caught red-handed after stealing a mobile telephone belonging to U.S. ambassador John Beyrle could face up to 10 years in prison, officials said on Monday.

The two took the expensive telephone after Beyrle left it by an X-ray machine at Varna airport, where they worked.

They denied having seen the phone when the ambassador called to enquire about it, but the hi-tech gadget's inbuilt tracking system led to its eventual location in one of the men's pockets.

The United States on Friday offered needy countries more than 330,000 packaged meals donated by Britain to feed Hurricane Katrina victims but rejected due to a U.S. ban on British beef.

State Department spokesman Adam Ereli said the "Meals Ready to Eat," or MREs, had been held in a warehouse in Little Rock, Arkansas, for more than a month after U.S. Agriculture Department officials said they could not be distributed in the United States because they contained British beef products.

If a guy plays off that insecurity and makes them believe that they are not quite good enough, it becomes pretty easy to seduce. The girl will turn landing you into a priority. I just gave you the trick to getting quality pussy.

Police say a Hampton man tricked acquaintances into driving him to rob a bank, came out with cash and a dye pack that exploded, and then ran off to pay his cell phone bill with dyed bills - in the same shopping center.

Then he got away.

Bank clerks in Moldova have been told not to make eye contact with customers after a string of robberies by a hypnotist.

The robber reportedly puts cashiers into a trance before making them hand over tens of thousands of pounds.

Local police said the criminal, who they believe is a trained hypnotist from Russia, begins talking to bank tellers and gradually hypnotises them.

He then gets them to give him money before bringing them back out of the trance and leaving them with no memory of handing over the cash, Russian media reported.

My neighbor walked in at the strangest time. She never comes over at 11 PM. But all I could mumble was "I was actually trying to find Armand Fister...you know, from high school."

After 7 months on the job, Dominoes Pizza delivery boy Chad Ruckner, 20, still hasn’t been seduced by a lonely housewife on a delivery run, sources reported Sunday. The report came in the wake of a recent torrent of doubt among Ruckner’s co-workers over his likelihood of ever being seduced in the classic “pizza boy” style.

Ruckner told reporters that the quest for seduction by a 30-to-40-something woman in a see-through nightie was not his primary reason for taking the job at the Junction Heights Dominoes restaurant. “I thought of it as an added plus,” Ruckner said during an interview yesterday. “But basically I just needed the money.”

“What lonely housewife wouldn’t want the opportunity to have some young meat?” Ruckner said. “I’ve seen pizza boys seduced in so many movies, it has to be based on some kind of reality.”

A Swedish man who donated sperm to a lesbian couple has been ordered to pay child support for their three children.

In the early 1990s the man, now 39, donated his sperm to a woman in a lesbian relationship. She had three sons, the oldest of whom is now 13 years old.

Although the man signed a document confirming he was the biological father of the children, he told the court the women agreed he would not be involved in their upbringing in any way.

But when the women separated, the biological mother of the three boys demanded child support payments from the man.

A Maine scientist is preparing to release details of a $1 million reward for a photograph that leads to the live capture of Bigfoot, the abominable snowman or the Loch Ness Monster.

Loren Coleman, a professor at the University of Southern Maine, said the bounty would be paid for by an unnamed company and that he will release more details at a cryptozoology symposium at Bates College over Halloween weekend. Cryptozoology is the scientific study of hidden, rumored or unknown animals.

"It's the time for something like this," Coleman said. "Back in the 1960s, hardly anybody was talking about this. Today, it's phenomenal."

A 48-year-old Frenchman who is accused of rape collected other men's sperm from used condoms and left traces at the crime scene in order to confuse police, justice officials said on Thursday.

Jean-Luc Cayez, who worked as doorman of an apartment block at Soisy-sur-Seine south of Paris, told police that he extracted the condoms from the building's rubbish bins and then froze the contents.

Cayez has confessed to the rape and murder of Audrey Jouannet (24), who was found dead in her apartment in the building last month, officials said.

There's funny money, and there's extremely funny money.

Police in Twin Falls, Idaho, have almost $1 billion in fake money locked up in their evidence room — but it's not taking up that much space because the face value of every bill is $1 million, according to The Times-News.

Baffled and bemused cops seized 999 bills — one short of $1 billion — after a man from Buhl attempted to deposit them at a bank as collateral for a loan.

Stunning Angelina Jolie is poised to star in the new James Bond movie — as a Pussy Galore-style temptress.

Now who do you feel could be the perfect Bond girl?

This is by far my biggest and tallest tower to date. This scale model of the Sears Tower is thirty feet tall, consist of over 15,000 Jenga blocks, and weighs over 300 pounds.

The tower was completed 27 June, 2005 at 12:30 PM with the assistance of Andrew Beaulieu, who constructed the blinking antennae and helped drop them into position on top of the structure. The battery pack which provides power to the antennae weighs roughly 7 pounds and was VERY difficult to place atop the tower as I'm used to handling mere wooden blocks that are a fraction of the weight. I was very jittery and it was the most difficult balancing act I have ever performed. The portable scaffolding didn't help matters much as it swayed a bit while I was shaking like a leaf hovering over the top of a very fragile structure. It would only take one falling Jenga block to fell this tower; creating a "domino effect". Once into position, the battery provided much needed stability for the antennae to be lowered into place and be connected. Andrew didn't realize just how fragile the structure is at the top without much weight to hold things in place. He had much more confidence than I, so it was he who connected up the wires making the tower LIVE.

A pensioner with more than 450 piercings has hit out at a St Albans accountant who refused to complete his tax returns.

Tattoo-covered 72-year-old John Lynch complained he was being unfairly discriminated against after Mr Raibeart MacDougall from Paylesstax, based in Hatfield Road, declined to take his business.

Mr McDougall said he would only see him again if he wore a box over his head.

Mr Lynch, a banker for 30 years before embarking on his body decoration hobby, said: "I went to see Mr MacDougall in April and I left my forms with him and a cheque for £115. Several days later he returned them in the post with a letter saying he could not complete the returns.

"The ironic thing is he did not have to see me again. All he had to do was post the returns back to me. I think it's disgraceful it's blatant prejudice."

Mr MacDougall wrote in his letter: "Call me an old fart but I felt very uncomfortable looking at your face with all those piercings."

Sometimes people in law enforcement will hear it whispered that I'm a former cop who favors decriminalization of marijuana laws, and they'll approach me the way they might a traitor or snitch. So let me set the record straight.

Yes, I was a cop for 34 years, the last six of which I spent as chief of Seattle's police department.

But no, I don't favor decriminalization. I favor legalization, and not just of pot but of all drugs, including heroin, cocaine, meth, psychotropics, mushrooms and LSD.

Decriminalization, as my colleagues in the drug reform movement hasten to inform me, takes the crime out of using drugs but continues to classify possession and use as a public offense, punishable by fines.

I've never understood why adults shouldn't enjoy the same right to use verboten drugs as they have to suck on a Marlboro or knock back a scotch and water.

Police say they caught a serial burglar in the act -- a sex act. Officers found Robert Calloway in the basement of an apartment building he had broken into, police said.

Authorities said Calloway was having sex with a woman. He was charged with Monday's break-in in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood, as well as in three others in recent weeks. The woman, Vera Morris, also was charged.

Calloway, 40, matches the description of a man caught on surveillance tape breaking into the basements of other apartment buildings, police said.

A school bus driver no longer has his job after he allegedly told a sick child to get off his bus. The diabetic child was left several blocks from his house the morning of Oct. 7, according to his mother, Leigh Nowning.

The 12-year-old used his cell phone to call her. She picked him up and later took him to a hospital emergency room.

"If my son had not had that cell phone, he'd be dead," Nowning said. The Salem-Keizer School District would not release the driver's name, citing privacy issues.

District officials declined to comment, and refused to say whether the driver quit or was fired. But school district officials confirmed the man no longer worked for the district as of Wednesday.

Nowning said she viewed a school district surveillance video from the bus Thursday. On the tape, she said she saw the bus stop as children told the driver her son was throwing up. Her son walked up the aisle to tell the driver he was ill.

"The guy just said 'Get off the bus, then,'" Nowning said.

"I learned last year that friend and fellow designer Peter Feigenbaum has an amazing train layout in his basement. He's drawn upon scenes of urban decay in the Boston, Philadelphia, and NYC metropolitan areas, and the result is a set of lovingly crafted but entirely seedy and run-down scenes.

John came up with the concept of caged confinement that can safely and efficiently teach your child discipline, but most importantly to keep them safe from what ever harms that may come their way. In this day and age of global terrorism, and dirty bombs, anything can happen. John locked himself in his workshop for three months, until he finally finished the first prototype of his creation. The project was made of hundreds of little metal bars in a cubical shape now known as the Baby Cage. He made seven for his grandchildren to test the usefullness in real world application. John's Children had enormous success using the cages.

A 6ft boa constrictor is on the loose in a Manchester suburb and residents have been warned to watch their lavatory seats.

The alarm was raised by a 19-year-old man who saw the snake curled up inside the bowl of the lavatory in a flat on Clyde Road, West Didsbury.

The man ran from the bathroom and into his garden, where he found a concrete block to place on top of the lavatory seat lid to stop the snake escaping.

Also called frankfurters, frank, weenie, wienie, wiener, dog, and red hot. A cooked sausage that consists of a combination of beef and pork or all beef, which is cured, smoked, and cooked. Seasonings may include coriander, garlic, ground mustard, nutmeg, salt, sugar, and white pepper. They are fully cooked but are usually served hot.

Sizes range from big dinner frankfurters to tiny cocktail size. Hot dogs are among America's favorite foods. Every year, Americans consume on average 60 hot dogs! Hot dogs are primarily regarded as a fun, summertime food, and most are eaten between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

Move over Garbage Pail Kids, there are a new breed of evil dolls in town called Krypt Kiddies and they are definitely cuter than old Chucky ever was! The clown one totally freaks me out.

There are basically two versions of these demon dolls available, the handmade collectible type and the off-the-shelf type available at Spencer Gifts. Be prepared to wait if you decide to get one handmade, there is quite a long waiting list.
