Baby With 3 Arms


Doctors in Shanghai are considering surgery options for a two-month old boy born with an unusually well-formed third arm.

Neither of the boy's two left arms is fully functional and tests have so far been unable to determine which was more developed, said Dr. Chen Bochang, head of the orthopedics department at Shanghai Children's Medical Center.

Speeding Charge Dismissed


Trevor Faulkner was clocked doing 43mph in what police claimed was a 30mph zone, but the 64-year-old doctor of philosophy said the speed limit sign was illegal as it had yellow backgrounds instead of the normal white ones.

Retired computer engineer Mr Faulkner took pictures of signs along the road where he was stopped in Leeds to back his six-month fight. Magistrates dropped the case after police offered no evidence.

Mr Faulkner, from Cheshire, said: "They could not have made it stand up in court."

Police added: "The sign did not meet the requirements of an enforceable speed limit."

Carnival Cruise Lines said in a statement that its Carnival Legend vessel was on route from Tortola just after 1 a.m. Saturday when the passenger was seen jumping overboard.

The Coast Guard sent a C-130 airplane crew to help look for the man, Coast Guard spokesman Mike Lutz said Sunday.

But after 12 hours without finding him, the Coast Guard sent the cruise ship on its way to New York, where it docked Sunday night, Carnival said.

Walworth County Jail Training Sgt. Howard Sawyers didn't think he could, either, but he did. In doing so, he earned the title of world champion doughnut-eating cop.

"The secret for eating doughnuts is dunking them in water," said Sawyers, who finished third in the competition last year. "You do a semi-circle of water cups half to three-quarters full. You rip 'em, you dunk them and you shove. And you do that as fast as you can for three minutes."

Tiffany Marie Souers, 20, was killed about 1:30 a.m. Friday, Clemson police Capt. Robert Griffin said. Her body was found by her former roommate about 12 hours later in The Reserve at Clemson apartment complex, about five to 10 minutes from campus. Her apartment showed no signs of struggle or forced entry.

Pickens County Coroner Dr. James Mahanes on Tuesday told FOX News that Souers was found partially clothed in her bedroom and was strangled with a bikini top.



Concerned Christians in Jackson County, Indiana, are hoping to shut down a local porn shop by posting customers' photographs online. Meanwhile, some of these pro-family community activists are taking advantage of the chance to witness to the shop's clientele.

The Lion's Den is an adult bookstore that was opened in Uniontown, Indiana, just off Interstate 65 eight months ago. Ever since, protesters have been outside the store around the clock, taking pictures of customers and placing some of the photos on the Internet.

It's all part of an effort by a group called "War-Line," which runs the website. Rob Patterson, a member of the Christian activist group, says he and his fellow protesters have declared war on porn in their community.



From the first look at this photo, you probably wouldn't think of Miss Baywatch. But yes, this is Pamela Anderson. And all of a sudden she doesn't look old anymore... By the way, is 38 old? I don't think so.

Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.comFor those who missed it at the weekend - Britain is the world's fastest growing market for internet pornography. You should all be very ashamed.

British women are the fastest growing group of users with a 30 per cent increase on last year - up to 1.4m from just over one million last year. One in four men aged between 25 and 49 has visited an adult site in the last month - about 2.5m people.

The survey comes from Neilsen Netratings and was commissioned by the Independent on Sunday.



The Brits often assume that Germans have no sense of humour. In truth, writes comedian Stewart Lee, it's a language problem. The peculiarities of German sentence construction simply rule out the lazy set-ups that British comics rely on ...

A commonly held contemporary British view is that the Germans have no sense of humour. But can this be possible? Can there genuinely be a nation incapable of laughter, or is it just that the German language of laughter differs so greatly from our own, that it appears non-existent?

Just before 11 p.m. on Monday, at 224 Duval St., a bartender told police that she had seen a man, later identified as Jeffrey Clon Anderson, 55, dancing in the street showing tourists his genitals and asking people for money when they took his picture.

The bartender said that Anderson then approached her and said he was going to get rid of the local dirtbags. According to her report, he then lifted up his skirt and revealed the handle of a gun tucked near his crotch

Free Image Hosting at allyoucanupload.comIn a city still emerging from the floods of Hurricane Katrina, a ship has begun to rise from the ashes of the September 11 terrorist attacks.

Bringing together America’s two great calamities of the 21st century, the USS New York is being built in New Orleans with 24 tonnes of steel taken from the collapsed World Trade Centre.

There is no shortage of scrap metal in New Orleans these days, but the girders taken from Ground Zero have been treated with a reverence usually accorded to religious relics. After a brief ceremony in 2003, about seven tonnes of steel were melted down and poured into a cast to make the bow section of the ship’s hull.

Apparently not everything in the Harry Potter series is fantasy.

Researchers in England and the U.S. think they know how make an invisibility cloak just like the one Harry Potter got from his murdered father. They just need some help in coming up with the ingredients.

The special materials needed to make the magic frock would be man-made -- and unlike anything displayed at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.



A heart surgeon had to take a break from a mercy-mission operation in El Salvador so he could donate his own rare-type blood for his 8-year-old patient.

Dr. Samuel Weinstein said he had his blood drawn, ate a Pop-Tart, returned to the operating table and watched as his blood helped the boy survive the complex surgery.

"It was a little bit surreal," Weinstein said by phone from the Children's Hospital at Montefiore Medical Center in New York, where he is chief of pediatric cardio-thoracic surgery.



Of all the types of photography ever invented, I would claim that live concert photography is up there among the most difficult ones. You have five thousand fans behind you, and there is a band in front of you. Nobody stands still. In fact, even the notion of standing still ruins the idea of a good music photo. The bouncers hate you, because you are in their way. The crowd is jealous of you. Crowdsurfers will kick you in the head. The band thinks you’re annoying. The lighting is never bright enough, and changes so frequently that you’re screwed even in the few moments that it is.



An N.C. man was charged with assault and battery with intent to kill after a car plowed into a motorcyclist early Sunday and dragged his bike for several miles down U.S. 17 Business.

Larry Jacobs, of Sugar Grove, N.C., was arrested in Surfside Beach after witnesses saw a car hit 27-year-old Makino Robinson from behind, then continue driving at least four miles with the motorcycle pinned beneath his car.



Worried about the safety of her family during a stormy Memorial Day trip to the beach, Clara Jean Brown stood in her kitchen and prayed for their safe return as a strong thunderstorm rumbled through Baldwin County, Alabama.

But while she prayed, lightning suddenly exploded, blowing through the linoleum and leaving a blackened area on the concrete. Brown wound up on the floor, dazed and disoriented by the blast but otherwise uninjured.

She said 'Amen' and the room was engulfed in a huge ball of fire. The 65-year-old Brown said she is blessed to be alive.

A U.S. soldier and his girlfriend found a winning lottery ticket on the ground at a convenience store Monday and turned it in to police, who were able to find its owner -- a $2,500 winner with no idea her lucky ticket was missing.

"She was shocked," Groneman said. Doerrbecker met the couple at the Third Precinct and offered them a reward, which they declined.

"He said, 'Absolutely not,"' Groneman said.

Boniberger said he told Doerrbecker she should donate something to charity instead.

"There's people out there who need it a lot more than I do," he said.

Chilean women want to look good, but with plastic surgery costing thousands of dollars, many are turning to cheaper, more dangerous alternatives.

Recently, a woman fell into a coma and died after trying out a back street operation. Someone else who has also had it done is Rosa Conos - she paid $400 (£212) for a procedure to enlarge her breasts and lips.

"They use a thick needle which is normally used to inject horses. The silicon is liquid gel which is used to clean industrial machinery. They injected a litre of it into each of my breasts," Rosa, 48, says.



Last Monday the charges flew. They were called little stripper dolls that encourage children to engage in eroticized play.

By Wednesday, Hasbro's planned release of the Pussycat Dolls, a line of toys based on the all-female pop group of the same name, was canceled.

Hasbro Inc., famous for such innocuous toys as My Little Pony figurines, isn't saying much. In a statement, the Rhode Island company said the older age group targeted by the recording group meant that making a doll line was "inappropriate."

But for critics, the move is a major victory that could renew efforts by parents and other consumer advocates to challenge products they say devalue girls and women, even in the face of billion- dollar marketing machines.

Ronaldo's hotel room topped that of team mate Ronaldinho's in an online auction, fetching 1,010 Swiss francs ($825.8) for a one-night stay in the room of Brazil's leading striker after the team's stay in Switzerland.

"I was surprised that Ronaldo came out on top," said assistant manager Philipp Musshafen at the Park Hotel in Weggis, which launched the eBay auction.

The Brazilian team set up camp at the luxury hotel at the foot of the Swiss Alps last week to train for the World Cup in neighbouring Germany next month.

Ronaldinho's hotel room fetched 850 francs. In total the five rooms auctioned, including those of Kaka, Adriano and Roberto Carlos, reaped 3,200 francs.



This is a post that puts forth a way that Microsoft could decimate Google in an instant, with trivial cost to itself and without breaking any existing laws. Disclaimer: I do not WANT this to happen, I am not a Google-hater or Microsoft-lover per se. This is not meant to be construed as advice to Microsoft. It’s simply a bit of very scary idle speculation; the truth is that Google’s revenue model is something of a house of cards right now and I’m just entertaining one of the ways it could be brought down.

Let’s get down to it. Here’s a guided tour of what Microsoft could do, from a perspective of a Windows user.

A 13-month-old baby suffered horrific burns when she was put in a clothes dryer, police say.

The baby was left with her mother's boyfriend at a home in the Perth suburb of Warwick while the woman went to a gym for about an hour last Thursday, police said.

Police were told the baby had spilt liquid on herself and the man put her in the clothes dryer and turned it on.

"The person we allege has done the act has stated that he has put the child into a clothes tumble dryer, closed the door and turned it on for a couple of minutes,'' Senior Detective Deb Newman said.



The European Court of Justice has blocked an EU-US agreement that allows European airline passenger data to be transferred to the US authorities.

The Luxembourg court said there was no legal basis for the EU decision to declare US data protection "adequate".

European airlines have been obliged to give US authorities passengers' names, addresses and credit card details.

The measure - opposed by the European Parliament - was designed to help prevent acts of terrorism.

But she boycotted the premiere at the Cannes Film Festival after discovering the producers had added extra nude scenes without asking her permission, it was reported.



Fishing Capt. Bucky Dennis has been trying to catch a record hammerhead shark for 10 years. He may have finally succeeded.

On Tuesday, he reeled in a monstrous 1,280-pounder that ate a 25-pound stingray for bait at Boca Grande Pass near Fort Myers. That would beat by nearly 300 pounds the current all-tackle world record for a hammerhead shark.

Dennis, who was using 130-pound test line, and three friends fought the 14 1/2 foot shark for five hours and it dragged his boat about 12 miles offshore before they got it aboard.

"It's fun hooking them, but if you get too close, they will bite," Dennis said. "And whatever they bite, they will bite off."



Twenty-five people were injured today at an annual cheese-rolling competition in which daredevils chase giant cheese wheels down a steep slope in western England.

Dozens took part in the bizarre event at Cooper's Hill in Brockworth, Gloucestershire, before a crowd of about 3000 laughing and cheering spectators. They raced for 200m down the slope after the wheel-shaped Double Gloucester cheese, decorated in a blue and red ribbon.

Many slipped, somersaulted and tumbled their way to the bottom during five bone-crunching races over two hours.

And then there are the rest...the endless stream of poor lost souls who have this need to dump their stupid questions and comments to cocktail waitresses...sigh!



If you think keeping fit is merely mind over matter, Lester Clancy has an invention for you — a cordless jump-rope.

That's right, a jump-rope minus the rope. All that's left is two handles, so you jump over the pretend rope. Or if you are truly lazy, you can pretend to jump over the pretend rope.

What makes this invention work is the moving weights inside the handles. They simulate the feel of a rope moving, Clancy said. Well, it's only one handle so far because Clancy is waiting for financial backers before building its partner.

But why jump rope without a rope?



Shocked Paul Neal was chased through a train by a gay ticket inspector who dropped his trousers and begged him for a kiss.

Passengers watched stunned as the terrified teacher desperately tried to get away from the randy railman. Paul, 27, leapt off at the next stop only for the pervert to do the same — running after him and pleading for a sordid romp in a platform toilet.

Furious Paul said yesterday after the inspector was sacked: “It was like something from a Carry On film. I only asked for a single to Hastings — and I ended up with this.”

Nathan Bales represents a troubling trend for cellular phone carriers. The Kansas City-area countertop installer recently traded in a number of feature-laden phones for a stripped-down model. He said he didn't like using them to surf the internet, rarely took pictures with them and couldn't stand scrolling through seemingly endless menus to get the functions to work.

"I want a phone that is tough and easy to use," said Bales, 30. "I don't want to listen to music with it. I'm not a cyber-savvy guy."

But the wireless industry needs him to be comfortable with advanced features and actively use them. As the universe of people who want a cell phone and don't already have one gets smaller, wireless carriers are counting on advanced services to generate the bulk of new revenue in coming years.



A first-time skydiver slipped from her harness during a jump Saturday and fell to her death, authorities said.

The white ghost ship rolled in the Atlantic swell as the rescue boats approached it 70 nautical miles off Ragged Point, one of the most easterly places on the Caribbean island of Barbados.

The yacht was unmarked, 6 metres (20ft) long, and when Barbadian coastguard officers boarded it, they made a gruesome find. The boat's phantom crew was made up of the desiccated corpses of 11 young men, huddled in two separate piles in the small cabin. Dressed in shorts and colourful jerseys, they had been partially petrified by the salt water, sun and sea breezes of the Atlantic Ocean. They appeared to have come from far away.



During the private inaugural party at his ranch in Crawford, Texas, in 2000, President George W Bush glanced across the room and recognised a man who - by his own account - has urinated on a nun, soiled his trousers for a week in order to avoid the draft, and been detained on a charge of indecent exposure, after experiencing difficulties with his loincloth in Little Rock, Arkansas. The President confronted him as a matter of urgency.

"When he noticed me," Ted Nugent recalls, "he was surrounded by these huge bankrollers from his campaign. He literally swept past all of them and said: 'Laura! Look who's here! It's Ted!' Then he hugged me and took me by the shoulders. He said: 'Just keep doing what you're doing. Don't think that we don't know what you're up to out here. Stay on course. You're doing great.'"

He owns 350 guns, wants to nuke Iraq and makes his friend George W look like a liberal. Now 1970s heavy metal star Ted Nugent has his sights set on a new target: entering US politics.



It was just a movie set, but in a moment it showed Chris Gardner where he'd been -- and how far he'd come.

There with actor Will Smith -- who is playing Gardner, a former homeless man turned millionaire -- Gardner stood in what looked like the train station bathroom where he once slept a quarter century ago.

Suddenly he was overcome with memories of teaching his 2-year-old son to never, ever open the locked bathroom door, no matter how hard someone pounded on the other side. It didn't matter that he now had three homes -- one a condo in New York's Trump Tower -- or that he'd gone from selling his own blood to buying Michael Jordan's car.

I’m not too familiar with Joss Stone but I think she hit it big at 16 because her voice sounded like some other famous person’s voice but because she was so young they called her gifted. Personally, I think she looks good in a bikini. So she does have some talents.

Randy people have something in their genes that makes them sex-mad, scientists have found. Three out of 10 men and women find it harder to control their sexual urges because of the genetic fluke.

It's the first hard evidence linking desire to DNA. The Israeli research could give Casanovas Charlie Sheen, Michael Douglas, Rob Lowe and Warren Beatty the excuse they have longed for.

But the bad news for them is six out of 10 people's genes fight to stop them getting horny, according to the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.





Beijing police will be sent back to driving school in readiness for the Olympics and some will get hotted up cars and racing training, state media said on Monday.

By the end of next year, 10,000 police will be given driving safety training, with 1,500 to learn high-speed manoeuvres to complement their customised cars, the Beijing Times said.

"In accordance with Olympic security needs, some police cars will be customised -- especially those patrolling areas around Olympic venues," the Beijing Times quoted a police academy official as saying.



In January 1985, the secretary of the Communist party's youth wing in Ukraine sent out a secret list to its local committees, naming 38 "ideologically harmful" foreign groups. The information, he wrote, was provided "for the purpose of intensifying control over the activities of discotheques". The dangerous agents were, among others, Village People, Black Sabbath and Tina Turner.

Though the list described itself as "approximate", specific charges were levelled against each group. With the notable exception of Pink Floyd, few were accused of circulating anti-Soviet propaganda. Instead, Donna Summer and Tina Turner promoted "eroticism" and sex; Canned Heat homosexuality. The Village People were only charged with "violence", a label also imposed on the B-52s, Black Sabbath and the Clash. Black Sabbath was additionally dangerous for its "religious obscurantism".

Burgoon has been in the saddle and Western wear business for nearly 50 years, and while he has been robbed once before, said he has never seen anything like the robbery he suffered earlier this week.

Q: What is the original car that this Batmobile was made from?
A: A brought-back-from-the-dead 1978 Corvette (most likely the limited edition pace car model).

Q: Did you make this from a kit? Where can I get it?
A: No, this is not a kit car. This was handmade using high density foam, fiberglass and a variety of classified materials. A 1989 Kenner toy car was used as the base model for which the modifications were made.

Two men have been found guilty of a frenzied attack on a university student who was fatally stabbed in the heart as he waited for a lift home after a night out. Daniel Pollen, 20, died after receiving a two-inch stab wound. His friend Andrew Griffiths was repeatedly punched and stabbed in the assault, which was caught on CCTV.

The pair had been out celebrating Mr Griffiths' 20th birthday on July 8 last year.

The next time Dan McBride rents a car, he may want to inspect it not just for dings and dents but also for snakes.

The assistant athletic director at Eastern Kentucky University found a two-foot-long ball python in his rental car this week as he left the Ohio Valley Conference baseball tournament in Paducah.

McBride got into his car Wednesday night with a colleague and saw the snake draped across the console.

McBride said he thought it was a rubber snake someone put there as a joke. He even gave the snake a pat and put the car into drive.

A 19-year-old woman was in intensive care Wednesday after she suffered major head injuries in a Tuesday night collision on Harris Street. Her brother was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving.

Accident victim Jaime Lee was one of four people hospitalized after the crash. She remained in intensive care as of Wednesday evening.

Her brother, Jeremy Daniel Lee, 22, of Eureka, was driving when the car collided with one coming in the opposite direction, Eureka Police Officer Wayne Cox said. The collision was caused because of “Lee's intoxication,” Cox said Wednesday.

The car Jeremy Lee was driving had a bumper sticker that read: “I'm not an alcoholic, I'm a drunk. Alcoholics go to meetings.”



An extremely overweight dog is being rehabilitated after being fed a diet of beer and doughnuts.

When the Arizona Humane Society took in "Sessa," she weighed almost three times as much as she should have and couldn't even stand.

"This is quite unique to actually have a dog that cannot get up because she's so overweight," said Alexis Boyle of the Humane Society.

The scale-busting diet was not illegal in Arizona, reported NBC Phoenix station KPNX-TV. But now she's getting slimmer as a swimmer.





Beer companies are being urged to double the wages they pay Cambodian promotional women in an effort to curb a reliance on prostitution and a rising HIV rate.

In a campaign launched by Australian unions and the aid agency CARE, beer brands including Heineken, Stella Artois, Corona, Becks and Budweiser, are accused of exploiting the women, who unions say rely on prostitution to subsidise their wage.

Meter maid Jackie Fegan, 40, was arrested for refusing to void a ticket issued to Chicago, Illinois police officer Robert Reid on May 18. Reid had illegally parked his personal white minivan at 700 N. Michigan, claiming he was on "police business."

After seeing the ticket, Reid flagged down Fegan and insisted she tear up the ticket. Fegan refused. When she walked away across the street, she was arrested for jaywalking. She was handcuffed and taken into custody at the Near North District police station.

"They were hurting me. They wouldn't stop," Fegan told the Chicago Sun-Times. "It's unreal. One minute I'm working, and the next minute I'm being hauled off and hurt and thrown into a paddy wagon. He was very, very violent."



Meet Cody Patrick Allumbaugh. The 21-year-old Idaho man was arrested last night on a warrant charging him with failing to appear for a court hearing. Nothing unique there, of course.

But it was the pose young Mr. Allumbaugh struck when his mug shot was snapped by the Ada County Sheriff's Office that was special. The booking photo can be found on the left. Allumbaugh is the latest arrestee who has tried to spice up his police photo session.



There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven
And when she gets there she knows if the stores are closed
With a word she can get what she came for

Woe oh oh oh oh oh
And she's buying a stairway to heaven



A vacationing doctor tossed his 4- and 8-year-old sons off a 15th-floor balcony of their Miami Beach hotel Saturday morning and then leapt to his own death as his wife looked on.

Qinuo Van Dyk was startled by her son's scream about 8:30 a.m. Saturday and looked over to see Edward Van Dyk plunge to a 3rd-floor mezzanine, said Officer Bobby Hernandez, spokesman for the Miami Beach Police Department. She looked over the balcony and saw all three died in the fall.

"It's so horrific; it's almost unbelievable," Hernandez said.



A German sex shop chain has bowed to threats of legal action and withdrawn from sale vibrators named after two of the country's leading football stars.

The offending merchandise with "Ollie K" and "Michael B" stamped on them were taken off the market after the players concerned - keeper Oliver Kahn and captain Michael Ballack - said they were considering taking the company to court.

"It's a clear breach of the personal rights of Oliver Kahn," said the Bayern Munich star's agent Peter Ruppert.

The sex shop, Beate Uhse, denied any coinnection between the items and the players.



Former Playboy model Jaime Pressly feared she would have to star in a sex tape to break into Hollywood after a string of celebrities' raunchy videos catapulted them to stardom. Stars such as Paris Hilton, Fred Durst, Eve, Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee have been the subject of publicity - both positive and negative - when their private romps were released to the world.

The My Name Is Earl star admits she is shocked that people can go from the z-list to the a-list by just being taped having sex.

Pressly says, "No way would I ever do it. Not after what happened to everybody I know. And people I don't even know! Not a chance. Last year sex tapes were the in thing. It made me go, 'Jesus, all I had to do was have sex with somebody on a tape? I've been working for 11 years busting my a*s, and all I had to do was have sex on the internet?'"



The photo of the attractive brunette is strategically cropped, but the ad makes it clear she's wearing nothing but a smile. The pitch: she swims nude at Paradise Lakes Resort and so can you.

Lake Como, Paradise's across-the-lake neighbor, promises a more rustic family style retreat, including naked camping and karaoke on its 210-acre grounds.

Just up the road, brash newcomer Caliente Resort and Spa entices nudists with conspicuous consumerism - flashy facilities, lavish homes and a medical spa featuring laser hair removal.

Three of Pasco County's six nudist resorts are taking off the gloves and everything else as they attempt to attract more of the worldwide clothing-optional market, which has tripled in size since 1992.



Australian brothel owners want an exemption to anti-smoking laws for sex workers and their clients because, they say, one thing leads to another.

Newspapers reported on Sunday that the Australian Adult Entertainment Industry had written to Victoria state officials seeking an exemption to laws which ban smoking in workplaces for fear they will drive prostitutes back onto the street.

"People smoke when they drink, and people smoke when they fornicate," the industry group's William Albon was quoted as saying by Australian Associated Press.

Smoking is banned in most public buildings across Australia and will be outlawed in hotels and other licensed premises in Victoria in July.



Here is Torrie Wilson going wild. But believe me, she is not the only one losing it...



If there is a 'face of child obesity', it is six-year-old, 15-stone Dzhambulat Khatokhov. Sheer size has made this boy from a poor Russian family a hero in his home town and an object of fascination in the west. Nick Paton Walsh tracks him down.

Just sitting down in Dzhambulat Khatokhov's house sucks you straight into his empty world. "There is not a single piece of furniture that he has not broken," his mother, Nelya, laments as I perch on a stool barely held together by a quiver of nails.

Six-year-old Dzhambulat is 4ft 7in (1.4m) tall but weighs a staggering 95kg. Since he was three, he has been touted as the biggest child in the world. But the sparsely furnished flat in which Nelya, 38, lives with the boy-phenomenon known as "Dzhambik" and his superlative-free, skinny brother Mukha, 14, confirms that fame does not always go hand in hand with fortune.



Do you feel like you need plastic surgery? Would you increase your bust, get a new chin or nose or trim off your belly?

Our nation is obsessed with looking youthful and beautiful. We spend billions a year on getting more shapely, youthful and attractive (as such is defined by our societal norms today).

Well, rather than plastic surgery - which is basically going to go get something cut, crushed, sucked, threaded, sawed off, or pumped into your body - I thought of some products that can dramatically help you change your appearance without resorting to cosmetic surgery. I mean frankly, with all the options available to change the way you look, I don't know why people would have to resort to going under the knife.



A gardener had a revelation when he dug up his asparagus plant and saw the face of Jesus.

Martin Gregory was enjoying his Sunday morning gardening when he noticed something quite different about one of his asparagus ferns he removed from a pot.

As the 52-year-old laid the 30-inch plant on the grass the sun shone down on the roots and revealed the face of Jesus to him.

The part-time mosaic tutor said: "I thought, 'Good gracious! It's the face of Jesus.'

A U.S. Navy warship whose service stretched from the Korean to the Vietnam wars surrendered to the sea Wednesday after explosive charges sent the vessel to the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico.

Contrary to Navy engineers' predictions of a sinking lasting as long as five hours, the decommissioned aircraft carrier Oriskany went down in just 36 minutes.

The dramatic conclusion came less than 48 hours after the carrier was towed from its berth at Pensacola Naval Air Station and then anchored on the site with its bow facing due south.

Hundreds of veterans and onlookers watched the spectacle Wednesday morning from the decks of dozens of charter boats and pleasure craft that trekked to the site of the sinking, about 24 miles south of Pensacola and 212 feet deep.





A Nepalese sherpa stripped and stood naked on the summit of Everest in sub-zero temperatures for three minutes, sparking an immediate row today over defiling the sacred mountain.

The Nepal Mountaineering Association condemned the feat by Lakpa Tharke Sherpa, 25, on the world's highest mountain, which is known as Sagarmatha and like most Himalayan peaks has a religious significance to many Nepalese.

His team told expedition organisers of his world-topping strip on Wednesday by satellite telephone and said they had taken photographs of the shivering Sherpa.



When Tim Petsche talks with pride about his grizzly bear, he's not showing an alarming penchant for dangerous pets.

Petsche, a senior model designer in the Legoland California model shop here, is referring to the giant Lego grizzly bear (with a raccoon on its head) that he built during 700 hours of work over four months. It's one of his favorite creations from his seven-year tenure in the model shop.

Petsche and the model shop's four other builders and designers will soon be joined by a new shop mate. On Tuesday, Houston artist Jason Poland was named Legoland's newest master model builder after a three-month long national search that concluded a two-day audition process for 23 finalists.



General Motors Corp. is recalling more than 30,000 Chevrolet Corvettes because of a defect that causes detachable roofs to fly off while driving.

The recall issued this past week affects certain 2005-2006 models with painted roofs. The adhesive between the roof panel and magnesium frame may separate, GM spokesman Alan Adler told The Detroit News.

The Corvette's hard top weighs between five and 10 pounds. If there is a complete separation, the roof panel may detach from the vehicle and it could strike another vehicle.

"You do not want to hit a 10-pound object at 70 miles per hour," Adler said.

Ever since he crossed into Mexico, José Moisés has had nothing but trouble. Now the 30-year-old Honduran mechanic is hunkered down with other young illegal migrants in a rail yard just north of Mexico City, waiting for nightfall to hop a northbound freight. He displays a pale line encircling his finger. He used to have a ring there, he says—until Mexican cops slammed him against a squad car in the southern border state of Chiapas and grabbed it. "They took everything," says Moisés. "Here the Central American has no value."

As tough as the United States can be for workers who slip in from south of the border, Mexico is in a poor position to criticize. The problem goes far beyond the predatory gantlet of thugs and crooked cops facing defenseless transients like Moisés. There's ample precedent in Mexico for just about everything the United States is—or isn't—doing.



The notorious US detention camp in Guantanamo Bay has been hit by fresh allegations of human rights abuses, with claims that dozens of children were sent there - some as young as 14 years old.

Lawyers in London estimate that more than 60 detainees held at the terrorists' prison camp were boys under 18 when they were captured.

They include at least 10 detainees still held at the US base in Cuba who were 14 or 15 when they were seized - including child soldiers who were held in solitary confinement, repeatedly interrogated and allegedly tortured.



Remember the Spice Girls? Remember Mel B? Here she is at the beach.



German-born Pope Benedict, head of the world's largest church, asked on Sunday where God was when 1.5 million people, mostly Jews, died at the former Nazi death camp at Auschwitz.

Speaking at the Birkenau section of the camp, near where Jews were led from trains to be gassed and cremated, the head of the Roman Catholic Church said it was almost impossible to speak in "this place of horror," especially as a German Pope.

"In a place like this, words fail. In the end, there can only be a dread silence - a silence which is itself a heartfelt cry to God: Why, Lord, did you remain silent? How could you tolerate all this?" he said in a speech delivered in Italian.



Pop star-turned-doll maker Marie Osmond has launched a personal crusade to clean up the Internet after learning her two teenage daughters have been posting sexually explicit correspondence on their MySpace.com websites. The singer felt compelled to give a statement to US tabloid National Enquirer after the publication uncovered outrageous content on her daughters Jessica and Rachael's blogs.

On her site, 18-year-old Jessica, who was adopted by Osmond as an infant, claims she is a bi-sexual who craves sex "as many times as possible," while her 16-year-old sister describes herself as a "slut" and a "whore" in correspondence and opened up about her dreams of having sex with David Bowie. In her statement, shocked Marie, a devout Mormon, says, "I am saddened by some of the choices that two of our children have made. "The insidious potential for harm from adolescent Internet sites like MySpace.com only exacerbates these kinds of problems.

Sirens blaring, warning lights flashing, computer screens showing nuclear missiles on their way, one man in charge of a red button labeled “START” - that’s start a retaliatory strike — and a roomful of people at their terminals and switchboards waiting for him to push it. Sound like a typical Hollywood Cold War cliffhanger?

It was indeed just like in the movies, says the man who was poised over the red button over twenty years ago, except “in the movies, Hollywood specialists and directors can stretch a little situation into half an hour. In our case, from the time I made the decision to when it was all over, it was five minutes max.”

Lion Mutilates 42 Midgets in Cambodian Ring-Fight
Skulls of victims of the Khmer Rouge regime
An African Lion much like this is responsible for the death of 28 Cambodian Midgets
Spectators cheered as entire Cambodian Midget Fighting League squared off against African Lion

ickets had been sold-out three weeks before the much anticipated fight, which took place in the city of Kâmpóng Chhnãng.

The fight was slated when an angry fan contested Yang Sihamoni, President of the CMFL, claiming that one lion could defeat his entire league of 42 fighters.

Sihamoni takes great pride in the league he helped create, as was conveyed in his recent advertising campaign for the CMFL that stated his midgets will "... take on anything; man, beast, or machine."

On Sunday, May 21st, an adult male mallard was brought to the International Bird Rescue Research Center (IBRRC), with what appeared to be a broken wing. Since 1971, the IBRRC has been rescuing birds from the devastating effects of oil spills around the world. Marie Travers, assistant manager of the center, radiographed the mallard and was immediately shocked by what was revealed on the x-ray. A very clear image of what appeared to be the face, or head, of an extraterrestrial alien was in the bird’s stomach.

The IBRRC staff discussed if an alien life form was either consumed by or trying to communicate with the people of Earth through the duck, because the center is located in an area of California known for its mysterious crop circles.

I tried to ramp up for this list. Sadly, it wasn’t too much of a stretch. Most men might agree with me, but not out loud.

Women, God love ‘em, are the operative factor in continuing our species’ dominance of the planet. So we can’t get rid of them.

But the females in our lives manage to throw monkey wrenches in the spokes of our grandiose plans. Since recognizing a problem is the first step in fixing it, here’s a roadmap of the bumps ahead.

What if the Internet were like cable television, with Web sites grouped like channels into either basic or premium offerings? What if a few big companies decided which sites loaded quickly and which ones slowly, or not at all, on your computer?

Welcome to the brave new Web, brought to you by Verizon, Bell South, AT&T and the other telecommunications giants (including PopSci and CNN.com's parent company, Time Warner) that are now lobbying Congress to block laws that would prevent a two-tiered Internet, with a fast lane for Web sites able to afford it and a slow lane for everyone else.



Yesterday, Mark Inglis got some cred for at least speaking up in the hushed events surrounding the death of British climber David Sharp. "Mark Inglis was the only one among 40 climbers who spoke up; the rest - the ones with both legs intact - remain silent," wrote ExplorersWeb.

Today APP reports that Mark Inglis now wants to talk in private to Sir Edmund Hillary. Mark said he was disappointed by the debate that has been raging since it was revealed his party walked past David Sharp, who later died. Inglis blamed altitude, and said that people were judging without facts. "I would like to speak to Sir Ed personally, because I think that is better than it being played out in the public forum."



A Triad teacher has been charged with providing alcohol to minors at a fundraiser.

Authorities said the incident occurred Friday at Relay For Life.

Kimberly James, 24, is accused of serving wine to two students. Deputies said she concealed the wine by putting it in a container so the students wouldn't get caught.

When one of the students got sick from drinking too much, the wine discovery was made, authorities told WXII 12's Angela Pellerano.





James Hilton Bond, the Marion County, Texas, fugitive who escaped from officers in Texas and Mississippi, has been recaptured without incident in a farm field in Mississippi.

Bond, 46, was captured late Tuesday afternoon in Tallahatchie County, Miss., according to deputies in nearby Sunflower County. He was spotted walking across a soybean field and arrested without resistance, deputies said.

Bond was being returned to Marion County today.

Bond escaped in Mississippi late Monday night while being brought back to Texas for prosecution -- the latest in a string of incidents in which he managed to avoid his captors.



British Prime Minister Tony Blair and President Bush acknowledged that the war in Iraq hasn't gone as smoothly as they had hoped, and as Bush dodged questions about withdrawing troops Blair said it's "possible" they could be replaced with Iraqi security forces by the end of 2007.

Standing shoulder-to-shoulder as they have throughout the Iraq war, Bush and Blair hailed the formation of a new Iraqi government as a turning point.

Blair visited Baghdad earlier this week. He was expected to brief Bush on his summit with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki. They discussed a possible timetable for withdrawing multinational forces, comprising mostly U.S. and British troops.



A judge said a 5-foot-1 man convicted of sexually assaulting a child was too small to survive in prison, and gave him 10 years of probation instead.

His crimes deserved a long sentence, District Judge Kristine Cecava said, but she worried that Richard W. Thompson, 50, would be especially imperiled by prison dangers.

"You are a sex offender, and you did it to a child," she said. But, she said, "That doesn't make you a hunter. You do not fit in that category."

Supercritical Fluid


Scientists working in the southern Atlantic Ocean have found a 407 °C hydrothermal vent, the hottest yet known on an ocean floor. Although only 5 °C hotter than the previous deep-sea high of 402 °C, recorded in the Pacific Ocean, the new hotspot bumps seawater into the strange state of being a supercritical fluid.

Expedition leader Andrea Koschinsky of International University in Bremen, Germany, and her team found the hydrothermal vent, also known as a black smoker, just south of the Equator on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at a depth of 2,990 metres — or 299 bar pressure. At pressures and temperatures above 298 bar and 407 °C, seawater becomes something between a thin liquid and a dense vapour: a supercritical fluid.

Attu question: what program are you running at the moment?:

Last year a friend of mine upgraded from GirlFriend 6.0 to Wife 1.0 and found that it's a memory hog leaving very little system resources available for other applications. He is now noticing that Wife 1.0 is also spawning Child Processes which are further consuming valuable resources. No mention of this particular phenomena was included in the product brochure or the documentation, though other users have informed him that this is to be expected due to the nature of the application.

Not only that, Wife 1.0 installs itself such that it is always launched at system initialization, where it can monitor all other system activity. He's finding that some applications such as PokerNight 10.3, BeerBash 2.5, and PubNight 7.0 are no longer able to run in the system at all, crashing the system when selected (even though they always worked fine before). During installation, Wife 1.0 provides no option as to the installation of undesired Plug-Ins such as MotherInLaw 55.8 and BrotherInLaw Beta release. Also, system performance seems to diminish with each passing day.

Some features he'd like to see in the upcoming wife 2.0.

  1. a "Don't remind me again" button
  2. a Minimize button
  3. An install shield feature that allows Wife 2.0 be installed with the option to uninstall at any time without the loss of cache and other system resources
  4. An option to run the network driver in promiscuous mode which would allow the system's hardware probe feature to be much more useful.

I myself decided to avoid the headaches associated with Wife 1.0 by sticking with Girlfriend 7.0. Even here, however, I found many problems. Apparently you cannot install Girlfriend 7.0 on top of Girlfriend 6.0. You must uninstall Girlfriend 6.0 first. Other users say this is a long standing bug that I should have known about. Apparently the versions of Girlfriend have conficts over shared use of the I/O port. You think they would have fixed such a stupid bug by now. To make matters worse, The uninstall program for Girlfriend 6.0 doesn't work very well leaving undesirable traces of the application in the system. Another thing -- all versions of Girlfriend continually popup little annoying messages about the advantages of upgrading to Wife 1.0.


Bug Warning

Wife 1.0 has an undocumented bug. If you try to install Mistress 1.1 before uninstalling Wife 1.0, Wife 1.0 will delete MSMoney files before doing the uninstall itself. Then Mistress 1.1 will refuse to install, claiming insufficient resources.

Bug work-arounds: To avoid this bug, try installing Mistress 1.1 on a different system and never run any file transfer applications such as Laplink 6.0. Also, beware of similar shareware applications that have been known to carry viruses that may affect Wife 1.0. Another solution would be to run Mistress 1.1 via a UseNet provider under an anonymous name. Here again, beware of the viruses which can accidently be downloaded from the UseNet.

Tech Support Suggestions

These are very common problem men complain about, but is mostly due to a primary misconception. Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 6.0 to Wife 1.0 with the idea that Wife 1.0 is merely a Utilities & Entertainment program. Wife 1.0 is indeed an operating system and designed by its creator to run everything.

It is unlikely you would be able to purge Wife 1.0 and still convert back to Girlfriend 6.0. Hidden operating files within your system would cause Girlfriend 6.0 to emulate Wife 1.0 so nothing is gained. It is impossible to uninstall, delete, or purge the program files from the system once installed. You cannot go back to Girlfriend 6.0 because Wife 1.0 is not designed to do this.

Some have tried to install Girlfriend 7.0 or Wife 2.0 but end up with more problems than the original system. Look in your manual under "Warnings - Alimony/Child support". I recommend you keep Wife 1.0 and deal with the situation.

I suggest installing background application program C:\YES DEAR to alleviate software augmentation. Having installed Wife 1.0 myself, I might also suggest you read the entire section regarding General Partnership Faults (GPFs). You must assume all responsibility for faults and problems that might occur, regardless of their cause. The best course of action will be to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE. In any case avoid excessive use of C:\YES DEAR because ultimately you may have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the operating system will return to normal. The system will run smoothly as long as you take the blame for all the GPFs.

Wife 1.0 is a great program, but very high-maintenance. Consider buying additional software to improve the performance of Wife 1.0. I recommend Flowers 3.1 and Diamonds 2K. Do not, under any circumstances, install Secretary with Short Skirt 3.3. This is not a supported application for Wife 1.0 and is likely to cause irreversible damage to the operating system.

Best of Luck,
Tech Support

Amazingly, Americans (and people in other countries) actually drink a product that can rightfully be called Osteoporosis In a Can. And, it gets worse from there. Read on.

This poison goes by many brand names, such as Coca Cola and Pepsi. Generically, this poison is on the market in formulations known as soda, pop, and soft drinks. It includes all carbonated beverages--even carbonated plain water. The various substances in sodas compound the problem, especially the typical formulations with their carbonic acid or phosphoric acid.

Reading the rest of this article may be the best use you've ever made of 5 minutes. Yeah, we know Pepsi will never sponsor an ad on this site. But your health is more important to us.

What is Swarm?
The Basics:

Swarm shows you what websites people are visiting, right now.

Swarm is a graphical map of hundreds of websites, all connecting to each other. It updates itself every second with where people are going and coming from. As sites become more popular, they move towards the center of the swarm and grow larger. Conversely, sites that lose traffic move away from the center and grow smaller.

Website traffic is symbolized with thin lines. Each time you see a line appear, it means someone has moved from one site to the other. You can gauge how many people are swarming around based on the number of lines.

While waiting for his friend to be booked on a drunken driving charge, a man picked up a gumball machine in the police department's lobby and walked out the door with it, authorities said.

Adam Jewett, 21, was riding in Zachary Peek's vehicle when they were stopped by an officer early Friday morning, police said.

A dispatcher watching the surveillance system saw Jewett carry away the gumball machine and told the officer processing Peek.

Patrolman Stephen Dixon found Jewett in the parking lot with the gumball machine..



Fueled by several slices of pizza, a 7-year-old boy braved the chilly waters of San Francisco Bay on Monday and became one of the youngest swimmers to cross the channel from Alcatraz Island to the city.

Braxton Bilbrey, a second-grader from Glendale, Ariz., made the estimated 1.4-mile swim to Aquatic Park in 47 minutes, according to his coach.

No official records are kept for the feat, but Braxton could be the youngest ever to accomplish it.

"I think it's pretty cool," the wetsuit-clad boy said shortly after his father grabbed him under the arms and lifted him from the water estimated in the mid-50s.



Not everybody is treated equally by the press. Some people are more liked than others and then there are people who are treated like an augmented skankbot.



The aroma of a freshly baked pizza is arguably as universally recognizable as that of a newly mowed lawn or a fresh cup of coffee.

But a Lithuanian restaurant chain now wants the intellectual property rights for the scent in the small Baltic nation, saying it is closely associated with its pizza pies.

"Opinion polls show that many consumers in Lithuania identify the pleasure of eating pizza with our trademark," said Mindaugas Gumauskas, marketing director of the Cilija company. "This makes us believe that the scent of freshly baked pizza is a subject to our copyright."

Did you ever hear the warning, “be careful what you wish for, it might come true?” Well, because Microsoft is the company most people love to hate, I decided to ask a cross section of industry cognoscenti this simple question: What would happen if Microsoft and all of its technology disappeared tomorrow?

“Initially, panic in the streets,” says Tony Meadow, president of Bear River Associates, an ISV focusing on mobile applications. “[Microsoft] didn’t establish [its standards] in a nice sort of way, but they are the basis for a lot of things that we use and do with computers.”

Today you can send a Word document to anybody in the world and expect them to be able to open it. According to Meadow, it takes forever for people to agree to these kinds of standards.



Karma probably was not on the mind of thieves who stole a 600-pound gold concrete Buddha from a local restaurant.

The owners of Sakura Restaurant and Steak House of Japan said they don't know how the thieves made off with the weighty sculpture devoted to the Indian founder of Buddhism.

"It's definitely like a three-man work," owner Ado Tarallo said. "It's very heavy. It's not that easy to move."

The familiar bald statue had sat in the restaurant's rock garden on top of a large water fountain for 16 years. The 3-foot, 6-inch statue cost $1,500, Tarallo said.



The European Parliament should be located in Brussels

It costs European taxpayers approximately 200 million euros a year to move the Parliament between Brussels/Belgium and Strasbourg/France. As a citizen of the European Union, I want the European Parliament to be located only in Brussels.

So if you want to stop this useless waste of money, your money, take part in this citizens' initiative to collect a million signatures to put an end to this waste of taxpayers' money.



So we had a get together last night to celebrate four years of Attu Sees All. It started out as a regular night out, just drinking beer and smoking cigarettes, when suddenly something changed. Someone made an entrance, an entrance we will never forget. So now we do not only have an airplane, but our very own stripper as well. I can't wait for May 23rd 2007, I wonder what the 5th birthday will bring us...



A former world history teacher is out of jail after she was arrested on Monday for allegedly having sex with a 16-year-old male student last month during a field trip.

Janet Klatt, 44, was arrested and charged with sexual activity between a school personnel member and a student, a felony offense. Klatt, who was released on a $5,000 bond Monday afternoon, is not charged with statutory rape because the victim turned 16 in March.

Investigators said Klatt, a native of Zimbabwe who taught at a private school in Concord, N.C., called The Cannon School, was discovered having sex with the student at the Clarion Hotel on Hillsborough Street during the overnight trip on April 28-29.

Raleigh police said they had been investigating the allegation since school administrators reported it several weeks ago.

It seems that pretty soon every school in the U.S. will have its teacher/student story...

Furious market traders in High Wycombe have hit out at European plans that will stop them selling their produce in pounds and ounces or be slapped with a £5,000 fine.

Law makers in Brussels want to see imperial measurements banned from market stalls in Britain to come in line with the rest of Europe.

The move, which comes into effect in 2010, will see pounds replaced by kilograms on every sign selling bananas, potatoes and carrots.

Anyone caught even mentioning the price of their fruit or veg by the pound could be made to pay.



A city traffic agent has been charged with writing dozens of fraudulent parking tickets sometimes while sitting in her car miles away from the bogus violations she cited, prosecutors said Tuesday.

Nivea Cloud was accused of writing 27 tickets in three hours in seven locations on May 12, inventing infractions just one to four minutes apart in the same place, Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said.

She was seen sitting in her police car, parked in a handicapped spot, more than a mile away from where the vehicles cited on her tickets supposedly were illegally parked, Brown said.

A couple caught on video stealing marital aids from a local adult toy shop made a big mistake in returning to the store, Decatur police said Monday.

When Larry and Ashley Gargis of Hillsboro walked into Pleasures on Thursday, the clerk recognized them and called police, said Lt. Chris Mathews, a police spokesman.

The couple allegedly had visited the store May 8, stealing enhancement pills and a "king size" rubber sex toy resembling a part of the male anatomy, Mathews said.

In the Gargis' vehicle, in a leather bag next to the child seat carrying the couple's 3-year-old daughter, a detective said he found the lifelike, 9-inch toy stolen three weeks earlier.

Can you imagine seeing an airplane like this B25 flying over your heads covered with the Attu Sees All banner? No? Well, it's going to happen anyway. Yesterday I received an e-mail from a very loyal reader and he told me that he had a very special surprise for the 4th birthday of Attu Sees All. He wanted to give us our own airplane.

I am very thrilled with this present and I am going to pick it up tomorrow. Likely there will not be many posts from me on Thursday, but that's because we have to put together a few things before we can take our baby home.



It seems everyone is trying to cash in on the World Cup, including Germany's biggest erotic retailer Beate Uhse. The chain has brought out an assortment of sex toys including "sporty vibrators", a ball stuffed with lingerie in various team colors, and a sport-themed porno film.

Erotic retailer Beate Uhse, whose brand name is as well known in Germany as Mercedes or Volkswagen, hopes its new range of products will attract World Cup tourists for whom the very German sight of sex shops prominently located in city centers may be a novelty.



Three teenagers were burned Saturday, one critically, when an aerosol spray they were inhaling to become intoxicated burst into flame inside their car, authorities said.

Two boys, aged 16 and 15, and a 15-year-old girl were in a parked car "inhaling aerosol spray for the purpose of euphoria" when one of them began smoking, said Brian Humphrey of the Los Angeles Fire Department.

The flame ignited the aerosol, resulting in a "fireball" inside the car, he said.

Lithuanian police were so astonished by a breath test that registered 18 times the legal alcohol limit, they thought their device must be broken. It wasn't.

Police said Tuesday 41-year-old Vidmantas Sungaila registered 7.27 grams per liter of alcohol in his blood repeatedly on different devices after he was pulled over Saturday for driving his truck down the center of a two-lane highway 60 miles from the capital, Vilnius.

Lithuania's legal limit is 0.4 grams per liter.

"This guy should have been lying dead, but he was still driving. It must be an unofficial national record," Saulius Skvernelis, director of the national police traffic control service, told the AP. "He was of high spirits and grinning the whole time he was questioned."

Is there anything as gross as buying sexy panties for Michael Bolton?

Here is Nicolette Sheridan buying a pair of panties for Michael Bolton to take off, because they are a couple.

Now I hope there will never be pictures where he wears those that show up on the internet. Or maybe I hope they do show up. Now that would be a great big internet thing.

Police in Tulsa, Okla., are searching for a man who hid under a woman's car at a Wal-Mart parking lot and then licked her toes as she loaded groceries into the vehicle, according to a report.

The woman said she was at the Tulsa Wal-Mart located near 81st Street and Lewis when she felt her toes being licked.

She assumed it was a dog but when she looked down, she saw it was a man lying under her vehicle.

"I felt something lick my foot," the woman said. "I looked at him and I said, 'What in the hell are you doing?' And that's exactly what I said, 'What are you doing?'"



Hillary Clinton is the latest US politician to reveal her iPod playlist, calling it a "smorgasbord", with the Beatles and Rolling Stones featuring heavily.

The senator and former first lady is a big fan of U2's Beautiful Day, which she plays before delivering speeches, The New York Post reported.

Hey Jude is a favourite track on the digital music player - a white one - she got as a birthday present from husband Bill Clinton last October. Aretha Franklin's Respect heads the Democrat star's 1000-strong tracklist.

"I've got everything - a total smorgasbord," Senator Clinton said. "I'm a child of the 60s and 70s."



Osama bin Laden said Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person convicted in a U.S. court for the September 11 attacks, had nothing to do with the operations, according to a Web site audiotape released on Tuesday.

Bin Laden said he had personally assigned tasks to the 19 hijackers who staged the attacks on U.S. cities which killed about 3,000 people.

"The truth is that he has no connection whatsoever with the events of September 11. I am certain of what I say because I was responsible for entrusting the 19 brothers ... with the raids," said the speaker who sounded like the leader of Al Qaeda.



The U.S. military has given troops in Iraq a laser device to temporarily incapacitate drivers who ignore warnings at checkpoints, the Pentagon acknowledged Thursday.

Army Lt. Col. Barry Venable, a Pentagon spokesman, defended its use as legal and said the devices were intended to prevent civilians from being shot.

“There have been numerous incidents that tragically have resulted in civilian deaths” in which drivers approaching U.S. military checkpoints have failed to heed warnings from troops, who in some cases have opened fire, he said.

My neighbor accidentally put a .44 Magnum round though my wall. It missed my head by three inches. It started in his bathroom, went through the mirror, went through the closet on the other side, blew through that closet door, traveled across his hallway, blew through our common wall, richocheted upward off my computer desk, and lodged in the doorframe.

Today was my lucky day.

Spam filter gobbles up bid for schools


There it was in the e-mail spam filter, along with offers to invigorate both your bank account and your sex life: an offer to save the Cobb County schools $250,000. But this message was for real.

School officials are blaming an overeager junk-mail filter for capturing and killing a Kennesaw businessman's bid to provide telephone services to the system. It seems the part of the filter that watches for pornographic material was offended by the use of terms such as "long distance."

Not able to check for the missing e-mail, school officials figured the businessman never responded, so he was disqualified. BellSouth won the contract, worth about $670,000 a year, in late February.

Mike Russell, president of Elite Telecom Services, appealed the process through the school system, but on May 1, Superintendent Fred Sanderson denied the appeal and declared the matter closed.

Britain and France have experienced long periods of conflict and rivalry but now victory in one area can be claimed: Britons are more intelligent than the French.

A new European league of IQ scores has ranked the British in eighth place, well above the French, who were 19th. According to Richard Lynn of the University of Ulster, Britons have an average IQ of 100. The French scored 94. But it is not all good news. Top of the table were the Germans, with an IQ of 107. The British were also beaten by the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Italy, Austria and Switzerland.

To many he is the greatest scientist who ever lived, but a unique collection of Albert Einstein's letters and papers has revealed a history of struggle and failure made worse by an apparently shaky grasp of maths.

An archive that goes on sale in London next month with a price tag of £800,000 ($2 million) shows how after transforming physics and securing unprecedented celebrity status with his general theory of relativity in 1916, Einstein suffered years of frustration as he failed to top that with "a grand theory of everything". The 15 manuscripts and 33 letters written between 1933 and 1954 give a glimpse into a period in Einstein's life when he strayed away from mainstream physics and grappled with the most fundamental questions in the universe.



There's only one Vatican organist, but the threat of others looking to make a name by claiming papal endorsement has prompted an official warning against fakes, Italian media reported today.

"Any other person claiming the same title and the same merits is an impostor," wrote Cardinal Francesco Marchisano, archpriest of Saint Peter's Basilica, in a letter quoted by the ANSA news agency.

The official Vatican organist, the American James Edward Goettsche, has held the post since 1989, Cardinal Marchisano stated in a letter addressed to organ concert organisers across the world.

The warning was apparently aimed at a young Italian organist, Massimiliano Muzzi, who has billed himself "the organist of Pope Benedict XVI" ahead of a tour of the US, Germany and New Zealand.

Now that was important news, wasn't it?

Someone found the skull on the roof and police, after a preliminary investigation, have determined that it is human, said Lt. Bill VanInwegen.

Police believe the skull was brought or placed there, and that it is not new, VanInwegen said. He said further forensics examinations need to be done, but police believe it was the skull of a young adult.

One of my most vivid childhood memories is of standing, at 6 years old, in front of the family TV (miniature screen, huge clicky dials, fake wood paneling) and making myself an extremely solemn promise: No matter what happened in my life—no matter where I ended up or who I married or how my tastes changed—I would never stop watching He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. The show was my great healing myth. He-Man, a half-naked steroidal Aryan cartoon beefcake, strode into my life at a moment of intense crisis, just after my parents' divorce and months before we moved out of my home state forever. My lifelong commitment to him was a childish attempt to drop some kind of anchor in heavy existential seas.

Yellow mud is her favorite. Her eating habits have caused problems for the family's next-door neighbor, who has a mud roof.

A stuntman has revived his tradition of lighting himself on fire and diving into the Chagrin Falls in northeast Ohio.

Ted Batchelor took the flaming plunge Saturday, the 30th anniversary of his first jump. A crowd of about 1,000 cheered as he burned while wearing a flame-retardant suit for about a minute, then dove into the Chagrin River.

Some onlookers gasped as he leapt and held their breath for a moment before he surfaced. Batchelor performed the stunt annually for 10 years beginning in 1976 and often was arrested afterward.



Last Thursday, millions of The OC fans, thousands of Mischa Barton haters, hundreds of snarky entertainment blogs and a handful of Access Hollywood loyalists were stunned when the TV “newsmagazine” stupidly e-mailed out a press release mid-way through the day detailing the spoiler death of Mischa Barton’s insufferable Marissa Cooper on that evening’s season finale. Here’s what the e-mail subject line said:

The blogosphere couldn’t decide whom to hate more, Access Hollywood for blatantly ruining the big finale twist, or Mischa Barton for agreeing to dish the news. Even though she had been trying desperately to get canned from the show, no one could believe that she would actually stoop to the level of undercutting the show itself.

McCann then allegedly charged the officer, who sprayed him in the face with an irritant. Two officers tried unsuccessfully to handcuff him as McCann wildly swung his fists, the report says.

Autopsy results obtained by CNN show a mentally disabled man was shot in the back when he was killed by New Orleans police in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

This contradicts testimony by a police sergeant that the victim had turned toward officers and was reaching into his waistband when shot.

Tattoo blues


For Jacky Kirkpatrick, 24, preparing for work each day as a hospital secretary takes a little extra work. First, she has to take out her nose ring, then make sure all of her 16 tattoos are covered up.

Short-sleeved shirts are out, and skirts and pants must be long enough to cover the tattoos on her calves, feet and ankles. A chunky watch on her left wrist covers the lines of poetry tattooed there. Her long hair is left loose to cover the large Aries sign on her neck.

It's tricky in the summer heat, but Kirkpatrick is insistent: "I can't show any of them at work." Many young employees find themselves in the same boat.

It seemed like a great idea in college to get that tattoo of a giant tiger on the forearm or that silver barbell through the lip. But now that they're entering the "real world," potential employers aren't quite as enthusiastic about body modification.

Pages 188 and 189 of Lincoln Park Academy's 2006 yearbook have caused big controversy at the school.

On those pages, six baseball players displayed what some view as an obscene hand gesture known as the "shocker" in their team picture. School administrators discovered the problem after the yearbook's publication and distribution. As discipline, they banned the offending players from Lincoln Park's awards ceremony last Friday and stripped them of their varsity letters and post-season awards.

Some feel the punishment went too far while others think it failed to go far enough.



A seemingly unbelievable mess discovered last year in an Ogden townhouse has suddenly become an Internet legend.

According to a federal criminal complaint, a copy of which you can find below, Bonfiglio admitted to manufacturing and selling the Secret Service IDs and even showed agents the computer and printer he was using to produce the fakes. As noted in the complaint, the counterfeit credentials bore the name of a Secret Service agent involved in the first federal action filed against Bonfiglio.

Everyone knows that terrorists don't fight fair and, often, neither do the government forces who try to thwart them. But both sides in the war on terrorism are deploying strange tactics, methods that can only be described as really, truly dirty.

Porn, lingerie and, allegedly, lap dances have been employed of late as instruments of countersurveillance and coercion. What remains a very serious global struggle is, at times, fought in strangely sexual ways.

Consider the testimony in April of an al-Qaeda informant within the stuffy confines of London's Old Bailey court. "When we went on-line we would deliberately go onto chat rooms and pornography sites. There were probably times I enjoyed it," the admitted terrorist testified, speaking of a technique he and friends used to divert scrutiny.

The street entertainer dressed as the “Nightmare on Elm Street” character was arrested Saturday for allegedly stabbing a man with his knife-like fingernails in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre.

They're charged with misdemeanor trespassing, but they're being held without bond after a judge said she wanted more background information on them.

Investigators said the two boarded the school bus Friday, sat down and began speaking in Arabic. Their behavior concerned the driver, who alerted the school district.

A sheriff's spokesman said the men gave different answers when they were asked why they boarded the bus.



Princess Juliana Airport on the Carribean island Sint Maarten is one of the best spots for people who like to take pictures of incoming airplanes. I am not sure if it's so great for people who like to spend a cozy day at the beach.



A sex toy ban has already happened in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, and Texas. South Carolina could be next on that list.

For 27 years Pat Irons has made a living selling "creams and lotions, massaging oils" and other things we won't repeat.

In Irons' opinion, "We don't consider it an X-rated book store." But what she does at Sugar and Spice in West Columbia could become a felony. Irons says, "I think it would hurt a lot of marriages."

A bill by Upstate Representative Ralph Davenport would make it illegal to sell devices used for sexual stimulation.



When it comes to teaching high school students to avoid risky sexual behavior, a Mexican study appears to support what U.S. studies have already suggested — no current approach works.

Students here who took a 15-week HIV-prevention course that promoted condom use were no more likely to report using a condom during sex a year later than were students who took the standard sex-education course, said Juan Pablo Gutierrez, B.Sc., and colleagues, at the National Institute of Public Health here.

The study, reported online in the BMJ, involved nearly 11,000 first-year students at 40 public high schools in the state of Morelos.



The more we study life on Earth, the more we learn how amazingly resilient it is. Virtually everywhere we look, even in places previously thought to be completely inhospitable to life, we find creatures not just surviving, but thriving.

We find organisms evolved to take advantage of nearly every form of energy and to exploit every available resource. As our knowledge about life has grown in recent decades, so has the idea that Earth might not be the only place that life could survive.

A new Academy exhibit, “Xtreme Life,” examines some of these Earthly extreme environments and the amazing life forms that inhabit them, and explores the possibilities for life elsewhere in the Universe.

A surgeon bypassed official channels to purchase essential medical equipment from the internet auction site eBay, a hospital said yesterday.

General surgeon Kevin Murray had already ordered £45,000 of equipment to set up his new operating theatre at James Paget Hospital, Gorleston, Norfolk.

But he forgot to order a surgical retractor, an essential item which holds wounds open while operations take place.

To save time he bypassed official channels - and bought the retractor off eBay, a hospital spokesman said.



One Arizona high school has added another item to its list of banned substances: bottled ketchup.

One student at Basha High School in Chandler was disciplined after being caught with a ketchup bottle two days in a row. And the principal says the school called the parents of several others found with the contraband.

The smuggling began after the school cafeteria limited students to three packets of ketchup per hamburger. You can get extra packets, but they cost 25 cents each.



We have seen a couple of women on the Howard Stern show before when they rode the Sybian. Maybe they got tired of the same old device, so the network got themselves a new toy to play around. It is called to RoboSpanker and this needs to be tested of course. One of the women they invited is Buffy Tyler and here you can see how she got spanked by the RoboSpanker.



I have been to Iraq nine times since the American invasion three years ago, for a total of about 10 solid months. (My wife is counting.) During that time, I have seen bombs and blood, I have seen rebuilding and restructuring, and I have seen death and democracy. So what have I heard? That's easy: Lionel Richie.

Grown Iraqi men get misty-eyed by the mere mention of his name. "I love Lionel Richie," they say. Iraqis who do not understand a word of English can sing an entire Lionel Richie song.

This is the same Lionel Richie who wrote "Say You, Say Me." This is the same Lionel Richie who is the father of some young woman named Nicole. Yes, that Lionel Richie. Could he really be an Iraqi icon?



The current migration of Mexicans and Central Americans to the United States is one of the largest diasporas in modern history, experts say.

Roughly 10 percent of Mexico's population of about 107 million is now living in the United States, estimates show. About 15 percent of Mexico's labor force is working in the United States. One in every 7 Mexican workers migrates to the United States.

Mass migration from Mexico began more than a century ago. It is deeply embedded in the history, culture and economies of both nations. The current wave began with Mexico's economic crisis in 1982, accelerated sharply in the 1990s with the U.S. economic boom, and today has reached record dimensions.



This project was a collaboration with Angelo, an incarcerated artist. He illustrated many incredible inventions made by prisoners to fill needs that the restrictive environment of the prison tries to supress. The inventions cover everything from homemade sex dolls, condoms, salt and peper shakers to chess sets. We collaborated on this project with Angelo for over two years. We had many additional collaborators who made a book, exhibition of re-created inventions and a prison cell possible. This page offers an overview of the project thus far.



Evel Knievel has trouble now just walking from his condo to the pool.

The '70s cultural icon and poster boy for fast living and derring-do is 67, his body broken by years of spectacular crashes and ravaged by a multitude of serious ailments. The king of the daredevils can hardly get out of bed most days, let alone straddle a Harley.

On bad days, Knievel wishes he had gone into another line of work. On better days, he doesn't regret a minute. Lung disease sometimes makes it hard for him to talk, but his stories still drip with swagger. He can be kind and gracious one minute, irascible and profane the next.



The French were voted the world's most unfriendly nation by a landslide in a British poll published on Saturday. They were also voted the most boring and most ungenerous.

A decisive 46% of the 6 000 people surveyed by travellers' website Where Are You Now (Wayn) said the French were the most unfriendly nation people on the planet, British newspapers reported.

The Germans have no to reason to celebrate the damning verdict.

They came second on all three counts.

A 20-year-old man angry about breaking up with his son's mother threw the baby out a car window early Thursday, smashed the 9-month-old's head on the car's hood and then tossed him into a canal to die, police said.

Charles Edward Tyson reportedly returned to where he had left the infant's mother, Shermaka Mosley, 17, and said: "You better go get your baby before the alligators get him."

Tyson took Mosley back to the canal where he had discarded Charles Edward Tyson Jr., police said. Then he walked home.

When police got to his house on Southwest Second Street around 3:20 a.m., Tyson calmly walked outside, put his hands on a patrol car and said, "Take me to jail."

In photos splashed across the front page and inside the New York Post on Friday, the 24-year-old pop star is shown exiting The Ritz-Carlton hotel with Sean Preston in one hand and a glass in the other.

As her bodyguards walked Spears to her car, she stumbled -- her long pants apparently getting tangled in her open-toed shoes -- and bent low as Sean Preston's head flung backward, knocking off his orange hat.

When it comes to wooing women, men aren't perfect. But perhaps guys are more selfless than their rep suggests. Men's Health asked readers from all 35 international editions -- our largest global survey ever -- what sexual skills they'd most like to improve. The most common answers: seducing a woman more effectively and bringing her to orgasm every time. Of course, there's another way to read this.

It could be that men from Argentina to Ukraine simply realize that our pleasure rises and falls with hers -- that by stoking her fires, they'll have hotter sex more often. To that end, we interviewed hundreds of women and sex experts from around the globe. The result is what follows: an expert lesson in the universal language of lust.



China raised the death toll from Tropical Storm Chanchu to 21 on Friday as the killer winds and rain swept into the East China Sea.

China's official Xinhua News Agency said 13 people died from flooding and landslides in the southeastern province of Fujian. Eight more perished in neighboring Guangdong province, it said.

Chanchu, downgraded early Thursday from a typhoon, has killed at least 60 people in Asia, including 37 last weekend in the Philippines, where it destroyed thousands of homes.



Zita Görög (born September 27, 1979 in Pásztó, Hungary) is a Hungarian actress and model, often credited as Zita Gorog.

Zita specialized in drama at the Bródy Imre Grammar School in Budapest. She started modelling when she was 18. Her first job was the Agnes B. fashion-show in Paris with Laetitia Casta. She worked in 24 countries as a model, among them one year in the USA, one year in Italy and a half year in France. As a model, Zita participated in campaigns of Mont Blanc, Benetton, Vodafone, Nivea, Coppertone and Nissan. She was featured in magazines as Playboy, Cosmopolitan, Perfect 10, Elle, FHM, Anna, Brigitte, Glamour, and Vogue. That was all from Wikipedia.

A show based on the life of Elvis Presley is to be produced by renowned theatre company Cirque du Soleil.

The company will also help design "interactive, multimedia museums," said a spokesman for CKX, the firm which owns Elvis Presley Enterprises.

The shows, which will feature the music of the legendary singer, are expected to tour Europe and Asia in 2008.

The museums will be called Elvis Experiences, but it is not yet known where they will be based.



A shoal of piranha fish on show at a British aquatic centre have had to be put on a diet after putting on weight in captivity, officials said today.

Regular mealtimes mean the razor-toothed predators have become a bit podgy in the past month so they are now only being fed half-portions in a bid to shift the excess, Lynsey Thompson, from Birmingham's Sea Life Centre said.

Piranha, which are normally found in the River Amazon in South America, are capable of stripping a whole dead pig to the bone within minutes and can literally eat themselves to death, she explained.

"Each mealtime has turned into a frantic feeding frenzy as they fight for meaty chunks of trout, prawns and mussels," she added.





Police say they nabbed a speeding BMW on Interstate 84 near Troutdale Thursday after the car posted an eye-popping 146 mph on their speed detection equipment.

Travis J. Olsen, 31, of Portland, was behind the wheel of the high-performance BMW 540 that is now in a police impound facility.

Olsen claims he was late for a meeting and was trying to make up for lost time.

Police say Olsen claimed he thought he might get a speeding ticket, but did not know that more than doubling up the legal limit - 65 mph in this case - actually earned you a trip to jail and the loss of your car.



A New Jersey drug company says an inhaler it’s working on could be the long-sought female version of Viagra.

The company’s director of preclinical development says it may help women who lack desire and have trouble getting aroused.

People tend to know in simplistic terms why both World War I and World War II started, but often they do not seem to realise just how complex the situations were at those times.

In the case of World War I most people know that assassination of Franz Ferdinand set of the war, but they don't realise all the factors that surround this.

Prior to the war the countries of Europe were arrayed in sophisticated systems of alliance. These systems were so closely balanced that the weakening of one country fatally weakened the entire alliance. This meant that if even once country was attacked then the two alliances effectively had to declare war on one another.

The guys at car company Fiat apparently got tired of hearing that joke about how their brand name is an acronym for “Fix It Again, Tony” so they decided to branch out into other products such as jackets, shoes and skiwear.

Their next trick is to start selling cellphones sporting the Fiat logo, combining the brand’s dark blue colors with shiny aluminum.



Brazilian archaeologists have found an ancient stone structure in a remote corner of the Amazon that may cast new light on the region's past.

The site, thought to be an observatory or place of worship, pre-dates European colonisation and is said to suggest a sophisticated knowledge of astronomy.

Its appearance is being compared to the English site of Stonehenge. It was traditionally thought that before European colonisation, the Amazon had no advanced societies.



A driver of a sport utility vehicle that flipped nearly 12 times on Interstate 4 was cut in half after he was launched into the air and landed in the windshield of a moving SUV, according to Local 6 News.

Witnesses said the driver somehow lost control of his SUV on I-4, swerved and then caused a five-car crash in Lake Mary on Thursday night.

The driver was thrown high into the air and into oncoming traffic. He crashed through the windshield of a moving vehicle.

"It was the worst thing I have ever seen in my life," witness Gary Salvatore said. "They guy flew over the guardrail. He got ejected out of the truck like a missile. All I saw was arms flaring in the air and he just hit the ground. To see that poor guy flying in the air like that, it was a nightmare."



Earlier this week I had this post about teacher Erica Lee. She is a teacher who had sexy photos of her on the internet and once some parents found out about that they could do nothing else but complain about that.

Luckily she won't be disciplined for that. The pictures may be embarrassing for the school and district, but they aren't against policy, spokesman Nat Harrington said.

But we don't want to know what a spokesman has to say about it. We want to know what Erica has to say about this. And that's where the 2Dorks come in. They wanted to talk to her and they did. (click on Listen to a highlight from the show on the top of the page)

What was that… thing on Tom’s head? That couldn’t be his hair, right? I don’t believe he’d have such a catastrophic lapse in judgment. But I was wrong. We all were. He was going to play Robert Langdon with the long, ugly, unruly hair, and we would all just have to accept it (but also make fun of it).

The internet was abuzz with Tom Hanks Hair jokes. It’s gotten so bad that Tom has spent most of the press junket for the film defending his hair choice instead of talking about the religious implications of the novel or the plagiarism case. Tom claimed that he hired a hairdresser who tells “stories” with hair. Ok Tom, but that doesn’t explain why you have oily doll hair that makes you look like the old guy still trying to pick up freshman at a Frat party. The fact is, the hair is bad, I know it, Tom knows it, we all know it. Excuses are great and all, but in the end, the hair is just bad looking. It’s Snakes on a Plane-goofy.

Generations of children have played the game of tag on playgrounds, but one middle school student got in trouble with police for playing a variation of the game.

Police in Golden booked Cole Sharpe, 14, from Bell Middle School after a girl accused him of touching her breasts during a game called "boob tag".

"It's just like tag except you, like, poke the breast area," Sharpe said. The teenager was later released while police investigate him on a possible charge of unlawful sexual contact.

"I have no tolerance for sex offenses but I don't feel that this is one of them," said Lynn Sharpe, Cole's mother. "I'm fearful that this is going to reflect on him and maybe tag him for the rest of his life."

Two women have been fired for watching porn films starring men with huge manhoods — on computers at a sausage roll factory.

Eight other staff have been suspended after a probe by meaty snack firm Palethorpes into material downloaded off the internet.

A worker at the plant — which also makes pork pies and pasties for chains such as Asda — said: “Bosses are furious.

“The place is full of jokes about sausage rolls and pork swords. It’s very embarrassing for a well-known company.”

Britain's "naked rambler," who has had numerous brushes with the law for nudity on land, was arrested Thursday after shedding his clothes aboard an aircraft.

Stephen Gough, 47, was on his way to Edinburgh for a hearing at the Appeal Court, where he was challenging four contempt of court citations for nudity in Scotland.

Police arrested the former marine at Edinburgh Airport. At the Appeal Court, three justices decided that Gough's case merited a full hearing, on a date to be set. Lord Johnston urged Gough's lawyers to persuade their client that he was "doing himself no good" by continuing to go naked.



Patrons at a bar in Sydney have foiled masked robbers by throwing stools at them. Three men wearing hooded jackets and with their faces disguised, entered the hotel in Abercrombie Street, Chippendale, just after 9pm yesterday, police said.

One of them was armed with a large knife and threatened a female worker, demanding cash while his companions guarded the bar.

But a patron confronted the man and a struggle ensued, during which other drinkers began throwing bar stools at the men.

All three offenders fled empty-handed and were last seen running down Eveleigh Street.

Sex on a first date? No way!

Or so say relationship experts, and most singles.

Okay, let's be truthful. There's a heck of a lot of single men who hope for that lucky strike, especially if the guy's done nothing but sit holding a remote for the past six months. But most women determine to stick by the general dating rule -- if you have sex on the first date, there probably won't be another date.

Almost five years after being thrown out of power as a result of the U.S. military intervention in Afghanistan, the Taliban has gained sufficient strength in some remote parts of the country to resume public executions of people convicted of murder by pro-Taliban Islamic courts.

In the first week of May, the Taliban claimed that Badshah Khan, a convict, was executed in the presence of a large number of people in central Urozgan Province.

Badshah Khan was tried by a Taliban-appointed Shariah (Islamic) court and found guilty of murdering one Fateh Khan, according to Taliban spokesman Qari Yousaf Ahmadi. Speaking on satellite phone from an undisclosed location in Afghanistan, Ahmadi said the court included Ulema (religious scholars), who sentenced Badshah Khan to death after trying him under Islamic law.



Back in 1872, it was easy to go around the world. When Phileas Fogg, the hero of Jules Verne's novel "Around the World in 80 Days," wanted to do it, he simply left his London club, went home to collect a few shirts and his servant, and caught the 8:45 p.m. express train to Dover. He was on his way.

Over the last month, as I prepared for my own summer trip around the word in 90 days — a journey I'll write about here every Wednesday until the deed is done — I often wished it were still the late 19th century, when gleaming new railroads and steamers carried one across the plains and oceans of a world that had, almost overnight, grown smaller.

A curvaceous body is becoming the benchmark for beauty in China and many women are paying big bucks to attain that dream figure.

But up to 300,000 may have paid too high a price. The dream of beauty is in ruins; and worse, their health might have been irreparably damaged.

The women went through a popular operation to inject a colloidal liquid named Ao Mei Ding which translates as "man-made fat" into their breasts for enhancement.

Many are in such agony that they can hardly sleep; and some have had the harrowing experience of having their breasts removed to save their lives.



An immigration minister has said it could take 10 years to deport all the illegal immigrants living in the UK.

Tony McNulty, speaking on BBC Two's Newsnight, said 310,000 to 570,000 was "roughly in the ball park" of how many illegal immigrants were in the country.

He said it would take a decade to remove them, on the basis that only so many could be deported each year.

Earlier Tony Blair had come under fire after saying there were no official figure estimates of illegal immigrants.

Robertson said the revelations about this year's weather came to him during his annual personal prayer retreat in January.

Zoe Ball had been due to strut her stuff in Strictly Pole Dancing for the Sport Relief charity event in July.
