Crazy Tool: “Peter Addison was here,” left written at crime scene.

 

The Crazy News has decided to bring back an old segment.

The Crazy News Tool of the Week!

In this case, it’s the crazy news tool of the month, since it’s been at least 30 days since our last tool awarding.

This time, our tool, comes from lovely Cheshire, England.

Along with the apparently fun act of robbery and vandalism, an 18-year-old burglar thought it would be a fantastic idea to write “Peter Addison was here” on a wall.

And yep, our young friend Peter, actually his real name, was soon nabbed by police.

But it does not end there.

Police who arrived to investigate the incident were stunned to find Addison’s calling card plus other messages saying: “Thanks for the Stay,” according the London’s, The Daily Mail.

They checked his details on a computer system and when they caught up with him, he was also found to be wearing a T shirt stolen during the burglary.

Police were also able to aprehend a number of other offenders with Peter at the time.

Gareth Woods from the local Cheshire Police said: “This crime is up there were the dumbest of all in the criminal league table.

“There are some pretty stupid criminals around but to leave your own name at the scene of the crime takes the biscuit. The dafetness of this lad certainly made our job a lot easier.”

It doesn’t just take the biscuit.

It takes The Crazy News Tool of the Week/Month award too!

Enjoy it Peter, enjoy….

Ladies Man: At 90, World’s Oldest New Dad Still Has It.

 Believe it or not?

First it was Emirati Abdul Rahman whose aim it was to father 100 children by the time he was 68, but today it’s Indian Nanu Ram Jogi whose aim it is to be fathering at the age of 100.

Oh, yeah..He’s still got it. Nanu and the new addition, baby Girija Rajkumari.

Yes, 90-year-old Nanu is apparently the worlds oldest living new father and his fourth wife just gave birth to what he thinks is his 9th daughter. He also has 12 sons and 20 grandchildren.

And old Nanu, a farmer from remote Rajasthan, is not exactly modest with his years of luck with the ladies.

“Women love me,” Mr Jogi yelps. “I want to have more children. I can survive another few decades and want to have children till I am 100 – then maybe I will stop.”

You pimp daddy Nanu!

Oh, what a life!

Nanu claims to have had his first child way back in 1943. His latest wife 50-year-old Saguri, who has given him seven children, was first married to his eldest son Shiv Lal but he died 10 years ago. Go figure.

“At first I didn’t want to stay here after my husband died. But Nanu promised to look after me and now we have seven children,” Saguri said.

Must be quite a smooth talker, yeah, yeah…

“I have a perfect life – with so many children and grandchildren all around me, it keeps me young.”

The ladies man attributed his long and happy life to long walks, and a good diet of meat of all kinds and a daily dose of camel milk.

“I eat all kinds of meat – rabbits, lamb, chicken and wild animals.”

None of that processed stuff…

But, can we trust the wife?

Well just before we crack open the champagne and light those cigars, some authorities in India are suggesting a paternity test to confirm the news.

“It is rare for someone to have a child at 90. If it is true, it is a matter for detailed study. We should conduct a medical test to determine the paternity,” said a local medical practitioner.

I believe you Nanu! Who would ever doubt your extremely old, yet obviously healthy sperm?

Mover and shaker….

31-year-old woman refuses to give up the teen love she met playing World of Warcraft.

As The Crazy News reported a few months back….

They fell for each other playing online role-playing game World of Warcraft, but society was not ready for their woman on teen love, now the 31-year-old Aussie once caught trying to ‘abduct’ her young lover, says her desire for a 17-year-old boy from North Carolina is undying.

Tamara Broome (pictured below) was arrested for child abduction when she arrived in the United States to wisk the boy, who wanted to escape pressure to join the military, back to Australia. She has spoken publicly for the first time about her ordeal. 

Freed, after a plea bargain with US Federal authorities , she says that she would “be crazy” to let her teen lover go and that their online relationship “was so much more than just infatuation.”

The University student and part time supermarket worker from Adelaide, South Australia, spoke to Australia’s Nine Television Network, Australian news media reported:

The pair tried many times to break off the internet relationship, Broome said, but their bond was too strong.

“It was so much more than just infatuation,” she said.

“I do love him dearly.”

During their online affair the pair discussed the possibility of a sexual relationship, as well as the prospect of marriage.

“We did talk about all the legal ramifications of him coming over here and what I’d heard, what was legal here and what was legal there etcetera etcetera, so yeah, it was brought up.”

Broome was freed after she agreed to plead guilty to a lesser charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

She is forbidden from contacting the victim in any way until he turns 18 on June 9, 2008.

“I’m going to miss him dreadfully over the next couple of months,” Broome said.

She also indicated the pair may seek to restore the relationship once they are allowed.

“I think I’d be crazy to let him go,” she said.

Down Under weirdo…

Meanwhile, all you World of Warcraft fans should be getting excited. The World of Warcraft movie is set to hit cinemas in the near future, and is rumored to have a Water World style budget of around US $100 million.

The film will be set approximately a year before the start of World of Warcraft, and interweaves the story of various races, lands and a new hero into a two and a half hour feature told from the Alliance perspective, says The Hollywood News.

Hello Kitty! Thai police chiefs come up with embarrassing way to punish rouge officers.

 

Hello Coppy!

Bad cops, bad cops, what are we gonna do with you…..

Police chiefs in Bangkok, Thailand have come up with a harmless, yet extremly embarrassing punishment for officers who “break the rules”.

Officers who are late, park in the wrong place or commit other minor transgressions will have to wear a large armband that is bright pink and has a Hello Kitty motif with two hearts embroidered on it.

“This is to help build discipline. We should not let small offences go unnoticed,” Police Colonel Pongpat Chayapan told Reuters news agency.

“Guilty officers will be made to wear the armbands in the office for a few days, with instructions not to disclose their offences. Let people guess what they have done,” he said.

The Hello Kitty brand is mainly marketed toward the pre-adolescent female market and the ploy by the Bangkok police department will no doubt smash any notions of masculinity in a force comprised mostly of male police officers.  

Yep, doesn’t get much girlier and pink than Hello Kitty, who, according to her website, has a twin sister called Mimmy and loves eating “yummy cookies” and making new friends.

Bananas! Man swallows necklace, police make him eat, eat and eat.

 

Bananas!

A man who swallowed a necklace that he stole from a woman when he was caught by police has been forced to eat at least 50 bananas.

A 35-year-old Indian man was nabbed by local residence in Kolkata. He initially denied having swallowed the 45,000 rupee necklace, but x-rays showed it was indeed in his stomach.

Police threatened to put Sheikh Mohsin under the knife if he didn’t go along with his new banana diet.

“Mohsin was initially reluctant to eat the bananas, but we told him that doctors would cut him open to recover the chain. He immediately wolfed down the bananas at one go,” said the deputy commissioner of police.

However, the bananas did not work. So police then decided they would cook up a feast for Mohsin, feeding him rice, chicken and bread.

After a long wait, the necklace was finally retrieved.

Hilarious!

Meanwhile, in other crime and banana related news….

Authorities in California, USA, are on the hunt for a bank robber nicknamed The Banana Bandit.

The man has been hitting a number of banks since May, and robbed his tenth on Friday. He earned the name from media because he was casually eating a banana when robbing a bank May 16; he has also been seen eating potato chips in another robbery.

And now, for the crazy adventures of 80’s British cartoon superhero…Banana Man!

Is too much sex bad for the economy?

Let’s talk about sex!

 

A study released this week by a German researcher, interviewing 32,000 men and women, has come to two basic conclusions.

“The less sex you have, the more work you seek”, and those who are not getting any action “often take on more commitments and work.”

Or in the words of the studies author, Ragnar Beer of the University of Göttingen:

“Sexual frustration prevents you from being able to reduce your stress”

“One commonly takes on obligations out of sexual frustration that aren’t easy to let go of, like leadership positions in a club, for instance. That takes away from the time spent on the relationship, which again negatively contributes to sexual satisfaction. Unobserved, the frustration often becomes deeply ingrained.”

Beer’s team found that 36 percent of men and 35 percent of women who have sex only once a week take on extra work to compensate for their wanting sex life. It’s even worse for the hapless couples who have altogether lost their eye for one another. Forty-five percent of men and 46 percent of women who no longer have sex with their partner seek out other activities to salve their wanting libidos.

So, you could conclude that the more active participants in an economy getting no or little sex, the more productive that nation’s economy would be.

How could economic policy makers use this information to their advantage?

I blog, you decide.

Meanwhile….

In other studies of sex related news…

A world-wide study on women’s sexual satisfaction has found that Saudi Arabian women were the most sexually fulfilled, followed by Mexican, Spanish, Italian and Venezuelan women.

The survey of more than 14,000 women from 14 countries showed 76 per cent of women overall valued sex, while 89 per cent of men rated it important or very important.

How nice.

It’s a fake!: ‘Van Gogh’ Painting connected to Rupert Murdoch proven near worthless.

Ouch!

  How embarrasing!

Like something out of a classic Hollywood thriller…

A self portait painting supposedly created in 1886 by legendary artist Vincent van Gogh, purported to be worth Australian $25 million (US $21.5 million), has been proven to be a fake.

The painting called ‘Head of a man’ was bought to Australia by the father of media billionare Rupert Murdoch, Sir Keith Murdoch, and has been with the National Gallery of Victoria collection since just before World War 2.

But when the painting went on a tour to Europe, experts in Amsterdam tested the painting regarded as “offbeat” and an “oddity”, by Van Gogh specialists.

Last year The Sunday Times in London published claims by Van Gogh specialists that the work had been incorrectly attributed.

And today, it was announced that those claims have proven accurate.

The gallery said there would be a “downwards adjustment” in the painting’s value when the Victorian state gallery revalues its collection next year.
 

Downward adjustment indeed!

Amazing! Scientists awake patient from 6 years in coma like state.

In what could be a major breakthrough, scientists from the United States have been able to wake a man from a near vegetative state, and he can now talk to his family, watch TV and chew.

The 38-year-old from Ohio had been in a coma like state for 6 years, after being mugged and bashed, but when neuroscientists from New York and News Jersey used a pacemaker and two electrodes to send impulses into a part of the brain regulating consciousness, the mans quality of life was dramatically improved.

Media reports:

Unable to chew or swallow, the Cleveland patient, who has been identified only as an artist with two brothers, was fed by tube and could communicate solely through slight movements of his eyes and fingers.

Although he still does not initiate conversation, the surgery has allowed him to respond to questions with answers of up to three words. Several weeks ago, he recited the first half of the U.S. oath of allegiance without help.

The patient has also regained some movement in his limbs.

Electrodes were inserted into his thalamus, the region believed to be key in consciousness, to boost its speech and movement signals.

His mother said: “My son, as well as the entire family, had little hope of further recovery. Now he can eat, express himself and let us know if he is in pain.

“He can cry and he can laugh and, most importantly, he can say, ‘Mommy’ and ‘Pop’ and he can say, ‘I love you Mommy’. I still cry every time I see my son but it is tears of joy.”

The story is detailed HERE in the journal of Nature.

The meaning of sex: It’s lust stupid! Or is it?

 

You’re all crazy!

Ask yourself this highly philosophical question…

Why do we have sex?

Is it for the procreation of the species? Is it because everyone else is doing it?

Or is it because ‘it feels goooood?

Well someone has taken the time to get to the bottom of this; researchers from the University of Texas and elsewhere in the US have had sex on the brain for quite some time now.

Teams of Psychologists have come up with some new studies on sexual behaviour, finding that the ‘hormone pumping’ young get their freak on for all the same reasons… “I was attracted to the person, ” But when it came to the older demorgaphics they do it ”for all sorts of reasons”.

In a compilation from 237 reasons for sex, answers ranged from “The person smelled nice” to “I wanted to burn calories”, “I wanted to get out of doing something, and “‘I wanted to give someone else an STD”.

How can a woman get a man to take off his clothes? Ask him.

In all the list compiled from questions asked of hundreds of people, which was then given to college aged students, and that study concluded that ’20 of the top 25 reasons given for having sex were the same for men and women.’

Wacky reasons young people had sex included, “someone offered me money to do it,” “I felt sorry for the person,” “I wanted to punish myself” and, “Because of a bet.”

The findings can be found in the August issue of Archives of Sexual Behavior, published by the International Academy of Sex Research.

More interesting reading on this crazy topic from the New York Times.

And won’t someone feel sorry for me….?

Other hilarious reasons for having sex include;

13. I wanted to improve my sexual skills. 34. I was curious about my sexual abilities.  41. The person was a good dancer. . 65. I wanted to relieve ‘‘blue balls.’’ 90. I wanted to gain access to that person’s friend. 110. The person had too much to drink and I was able to take advantage of them. 119. The person was famous and I wanted to be able to say I had sex with him/her. 181. I felt like it was my duty. 7. I was ‘‘horny.’’

Boss kills employees because they ‘asked for a pay rise.’

 

Smirk of a killer- Lithuanian native Rolandas Milinavicius dosn’t seem to like pesky employees much at all.

 Asking your boss for a pay rise can be a daunting task at best, and it seems especially so for those working in the car dealership industry.

So if you thought your boss was a bit of a psycho, spare a thought for Inga Contreras and Martynas Simokaitis.

Police in Georgia, USA, have charged Rolandas Milinavicius with the murder of his two employees after they questioned him over not being happy about the pay.

He has confessed to shooting the pair.

Local media reports:

Milinavicius, who was having financial problems, told police he shot the two Thursday after they kept asking for more pay.

“As I understand, the employees were not really happy about the pay, and they had questioned him about it over the course of time,” a police spokesman said. “That morning he said he just snapped.”

Contreras and Simokaitis were cremated and an informal memorial service was held at Simokaitis’ cousin’s apartment over the weekend. The remains were to be flown to Lithuania on Tuesday.

“It doesn’t make any sense,” the cousin, Jaunius Simokaitis, of Fayetteville, said Monday. “If he was having money problems, these two would have been the ones to help him get out of debt. They would have helped him make that money.”

He was denied bail by a judge.

Video story from local Atlanta News..

Let this be a lesson to us all….

Never work in a car dealership.

Better yet, join a union before you ask for a pay rise.

Even better yet, don’t ask for a payrise at all.

Who needs money right?

Better yet, take some good advice on how to handle workplace politics from our friends at CNN Living: Four co-workers you should befriend.

Off to driving school for acting like a Formula One driver.

      Back to school! back to school!

Sounds like somebody still thinks he’s on the racing circuit!

Brazilian Nelson Piquet Snr., famous for his F1 Championship wins in the 1980’s has been forced to go to a driver education course after receiving too many speeding and parking tickets.

“I think we have to pay for our mistakes,” Piquet, 54, told local news agency G1. “It’s not even just a speeding problem. I got tickets for all kinds of reasons, for things like parking where I shouldn’t.”

The man with an addiction to speed has apparently been seen racing round the streets of Brasilia behind the wheel of a number of high-performance machines, including a BMW convertible and a customised roadster fitted out with a Porsche engine.

Piquet will have to spend 30 hours at driving school and pass a written test in order to get his licence back.

“Vegansexual”: No sex for meat eaters!

 

 

Sex?
‘Yes please! But not with you carnivores’

Talk about taking the term ‘you are what you eat’ a little too far.

A new phenomenon among vegetarians in New Zealand takes a very extreme stance on that concept, because apparently an exchange of body fluids with meat eaters would violate the philosophies of Veganism.

Annie Potts from Canterbury University in New Zealand has coined the term “Vegansexual” to describe people, “who do not eat any meat or animal products, and who choose not to be sexually intimate with non-vegan partners whose bodies, they say, are made up of dead animals.”

In her research she quizzed 157 Kiwis on issues ranging from battery chickens to sexual preferences.

New Zealand media reports:

Many female respondents described being attracted to people who ate meat, but said they did not want to have sex with meat-eaters because their bodies were made up of animal carcasses.

“It’s a whole new thing – I have not come across it before,” said Potts.

One vegan respondent from Christchurch said: “I believe we are what we consume, so I really struggle with bodily fluids, especially sexually.”

Another Christchurch vegan said she found non-vegans attractive, but would not want to be physically close to them.

“I would not want to be intimate with someone whose body is literally made up from the bodies of others who have died for their sustenance,” she said.

Christchurch vegan Nichola Kriek has been married to her vegan husband, Hans, for nine years.

She would not describe herself as vegansexual, but said it would definitely be a preference.

She could understand people not wanting to get too close to non-vegan or non-vegetarians.

“When you are vegan or vegetarian, you are very aware that when people eat a meaty diet, they are kind of a graveyard for animals,” she said.

New sex toy set to revolutionise society?

 

Yeah baby, that’ll hit the spot! 

Taking its name from the iPod craze that’s been sweeping the world for the past few years, the ‘gPod’ has the potential to revolutionise society in unimaginable ways.

The gPod is a phallic-shaped vibrator that consists of a handset that can connect to a music player (like your iPod), television or mobile phone and vibrates to the sounds it picks up.

How groovy.

Media Reports:

Ichiro Kameda is the brain behind the invention which was showcased at Japans first ever sex toy expo in suburban Tokyo.

“You can use it in many ways, for example hooking it up to your mobile phone… so one of the ideas is that you can use it here in Tokyo when your boyfriend in New York is talking to you on the phone,” Kameda told media.

Kameda said he had spent four years trying to design a product when he hit upon the concept.

When asked on how he came about the idea, Kameda declined an answer.

Nearly 160 companies or groups were exhibiting products and services during the weekend Adult Treasure Expo 2007, including sex toys, sex machines, costumes and videos.

The sex toy is set to retail at ¥25,000 or about US$200 and is marketed by Japanese sex toy company Joymind.

There are some mourmours that Apple may want to legally take on Joymind in court over trademarks to the naughty device.

No word yet as to when it will be avaliable for order. But if I were to take a guess, I’de say it’s going to be the top gift for Christmas 2008.

You think I’m joking?

Think again. Female sex toys are more popular than ever, and growing at a huge rate.

Money, money, money: Japan’s mystery money giveaway!

 

All right, besides high tech vibrators revolutionising the world, what the hell is going on in Japan?!

Someone, or some people, are getting way too happy and or way too crazy!

A few weeks after we reported the mysterious appearance of envelopes containing hundreds of dollars in men’s toilets across Japan, more startling news has reached us about Japan’s weird money mystery.

Media reports:

On Saturday residents in an apartment building in Tokyo have received a total of 1.81 million yen or $US15,210, with unmarked enveloped delivered to 18 letterboxes.

On Wednesday an envelope with one million yen was left in the mailbox of a 31-year-old woman in the western city of Kobe, and that same day, bills worth 960,000 yen were inexplicably seen “falling” in front of a convenience store.

So what the hell is going on in Japan?

Is one sole person responsible for these weird and random acts of ‘charity’?

Or are there various copy cat money givers?

And how do I get free money?

What the hell is going on?

So many questions, so few answers.

The Face of Death: Oscar the Cat Predicts the End.

 

The Grim Reaper looks nothing like what we we’re lead to believe.

The Grim Reaper looks like this.

The face of death?

Media reports:

A 2-year-old cat called Oscar has become a medical celebrity after being identifed as a furry harbinger of death.
The cat lives in a third-floor dementia unit in a nursing home in Rhode Island,USA and has displayed an uncanny knack for predicting when patients are going to die by curling up next to them in their final hours.

So far, according to an article in today’s New England Journal of Medicine, he has presided over the deaths of 25 patients at the Steere House Nursing and Rehabilitation Centre.

“His mere presence at the bedside is viewed by physicians and nursing home staff as an almost absolute indicator of impending death, allowing staff members to adquately notify families,” the Journal reported.

From the New England Journal of Medicine.

Oscar arrives at Room 313. The door is open, and he proceeds inside.

Mrs. K. is resting peacefully in her bed, her breathing steady but shallow. She is surrounded by photographs of her grandchildren and one from her wedding day.

Despite these keepsakes, she is alone. Oscar jumps onto her bed and again sniffs the air. He pauses to consider the situation, and then turns around twice before curling up beside Mrs. K.

One hour passes. Oscar waits. A nurse walks into the room to check on her patient. She pauses to note Oscar’s presence. Concerned, she hurriedly leaves the room and returns to her desk. She grabs Mrs. K.’s chart off the medical-records rack and begins to make phone calls.

Within a half hour the family starts to arrive. Chairs are brought into the room, where the relatives begin their vigil

UK UFO sightings video: It “reminded me of a scene from Independence Day.”

 I sure hope they come in peace!

For about half an hour on Saturday night a very strange sight occurred in the skies over the English town of Stratford-Upon-Avon, the birth place of William Shakespeare.

People poured onto the streets from pubs, restaurants and houses. Cars driving through the streets pulled over or slowed to a snail pace, as hundreds looked up into the starless night to witness what some observers said was the most extraordinary thing they had ever seen.

What the? The scene from southern England.

 The Daily Mail reports:

Hotel Chef Kern Griffiths, 26, said: “I saw five lights, we all thought they were hot air balloons at first because the glowing spheres looked like a burst of flames. But I couldn’t see any outline of the balloon itself and they were travelling far too fast.

“Suddenly someone shouted ‘look’ and there were these bright dots fizzing across the sky.

“It was weird, they way they moved did look alien. Some people reckon they’re fireworks but they were lit up in the sky for far too long, the local rugby club say they were lanterns that blew loose over the weekend but these objects were far too fast and too high up.

“They were unlike any aircraft I’ve seen. It’s a mystery.”

The British paper quoted a UK military spokesperson who said the phenomena had nothing to do with government activity and that it was not the Ministry of Defence’s role to investigate the sightings.

  “The MoD does not have any expertise or role in respect of UFOs or flying saucer matters or to the question of the existence of extra terrestrial life forms, about which we remain totally open minded.”

Meanwhile Chinese newspaper The Shainghai Daily reported that a audio tape recording of a civilian pilot witnessing a UFO in 1991 had been released.

The recording has been kept by Wu Jialu, former senior engineer with the Shanghai Aircraft Design and Research Institute. He said equipment needed to analyze the report wasn’t available until now.

The following is a transcript of the conversation.

Airport dispatcher (A): 3603, what did you see?

3603: I took off, flying about seven sea miles (13 kilometers) at the Course 28 degrees. I found an unidentified flying object right at my front. It was three meters to five meters in length. It’s red and it looks like it is spraying fire. It’s flying to the northeast. I turned slightly to the north and the object was farther and farther from my plane. It’s moving fast and suddenly it turned around.

I flew about 20 sea miles (37 kilometers). It is moving southeast. It’s flying lower and lower. I turned a little to the west. It turned around suddenly to the north again. It turned black.

It separated into two, one ball on the upper side and one cube below it. The two objects flew northeast for a while and then they turned to the northwest. They climbed up and disappeared. They came out, and disappeared again.

A: I got it.

The truth is out there people!

Hot Shot: Naked blonde stuns shoppers in Germany, as Europe heats up.

The Crazy News: Shot of the Week

Yeah baby, she’s got it!

Well, well, well…What’s all this then?

German media are reporting on some very unusual activity occurring in the German town of Doemitz.

A 30-something naked blonde woman, as pictured above, was snapped on a digital camera by a stunned local as she left a petrol station convenience store wearing nothing but golden stilettos and a bracelet.

Nothing else….

And as you can see, she appears to be tattooed. Do tattoos count as clothing?

NO!

Or is she wearing some kind of body paint/body stocking? Either way, she’s looking mighty hot, on what was a mighty hot day in continental Europe.

The mystery blonde bought 6 packets of cigarettes from petrol station employee Ines Swoboda late on the sweltering Sunday afternoon and then returned to a waiting Ferrari F430, before zooming off.

“I wasn’t surprised because she’s come in naked before — she’s a very nice woman,” Swoboda said, adding none of the other customers were bothered.

Although some of the males in the store at the time were seen mysteriously despairing into the toilets afterwards, must have drunk too much beer on Saturday night…

Whatever the case, this naked blonde sure likes showing off her skin and those lovely tattoos, or whatever that is (help me out here).

Whatever the facts, it sure does look like she might have gained a hell of a lot more attention than she bargained for.

The Crazy News will keep you updated on any further naked developments…

Hot in Europe! Literally…

Meanwhile in Serbia, three tourists were arrested for cycling in the nude in a bid to beat the sweltering and deadly heat wave sweeping parts of the European continent.

Surprise, surprise one of the three nudes was a German, the other two Austrian.

All three men were fined 250 Euros each for disrupting public peace.

They must have thought the World Naked Bike Ride was on. One month too late fellas.

It’s War, Trade War That Is! As China arrests reporter for ‘fake’ cardboard food story

 

It was a story that made for very interesting headlines around the world (The Crazy News didn’t report it, it sounded a little suss at the time).

A Chinese TV current affairs program ran a story last week that claimed an unlicensed food vendor in Beijing had been selling stuffed dumplings, using not fresh pork like usual but old cardboard with pork flavouring, and selling the food to unsuspecting locals.

But today authorities in the Chinese capitol have detained the China Central TV reporter behind the story, claiming that the journalist story was a fabrication aimed at securing “higher audience ratings”.

The detention of the reporter comes as China experiences a small trading war with countries like the United States, Canada, Japan, Singapore, Panama and Australia.

 A series of tainted food and drug scandals that included poison dog food, toothpaste and drugs that resulted in dead pets and humans in the case of Panama.

China even took the shocking step of executing the former head of the countries food and drug regulator after “taking bribes to approve untested medicine”, a very sick stunt by the Chinese government to say the least.

Then again, you can get executed for pretty much anything in China, undertaking more court-ordered executions than the rest of the world combined.

The detention of the reporter really makes you wonder if the fake story about cardboard in food was actually real, or if the detention was just another stunt to assure us that the slogan ‘made in China’ means quality, yeah right.

In any case we’ll probably never know.

Being fat will soon be ‘normal’ in America, study.

Fat the new skinny?

Fashion USA 2015?

 

Forget your worries about Global Warming, Al Qaeda, Bird Flu, hurricanes, earthquakes and stupid Presidents…

Apparently, America is eating itself to death. Yep, that fat epidemic we all keep hearing about is set to define our era like the plague defined the middle ages.

And just when you thought it was safe to take that next trip to McDonalds, they come out with this!

Scientists and researchers from the Johns Hopkins University have concluded that if Americans keep stacking the pounds on at the current rate of pace, 75% of people in the good old US of A will be overweight in just 8 years time.

That compares to 66% of US adults considered overweight in 2004, says The Daily Mail:

“Obesity is a public health crisis. If the rate of obesity and overweight continues at this pace, by 2015, 75 per cent of adults and nearly 24 per cent of U.S. children and adolescents will be overweight or obese,” Dr. Youfa Wang, who led the study, said in a statement.

 They defined adult overweight and obesity using a standard medical definition called body mass index. People with a BMI of 25 or above are considered overweight, while those with BMIs of 30 or above are obese and at serious risk of heart disease, diabetes and some cancers.

The report comes as 11 of America’s largest food and beverage companies agreed to take the token step of ‘limiting’ junk food advertising during children’s TV shows.
Meanwhile, in other fat news, Mexican Manuel Uribe Garza, otherwise known as the fattest man in the world, will undergo surgery in Italy, according to ABCnews.com:

Italian surgeon Giancarlo DeBernardinis told Agence France-Presse, “We will hold a meeting in the coming days to work out the details of the hospitalization and to prepare the operating theater and the appropriate surgical tools.”
Uribe drew worldwide attention when he appeared on the Televisa television network in January.

For the past five years, Uribe has been bedridden. He keeps a television and a computer he uses to update his Web site near his iron bed.

“People think that I can eat a whole cow, but it’s not just overeating, it’s also a hormonal problem,” Uribe said

Manuel has reportedly weighed in at 1,235 pounds, that’s about 560 kilograms for metric lovers like me.

Good luck to him, I say!

And good eating to you all.

World’s fattest man,

Family throws out grandmother with the garbage.

As in most cultures, families in India are very important part of life.

So when I found this article, I thought it was a rather bizarre moment in family disunity.

A family squabble over who should look after an ill relative has left a grandmother dumped in a rotting heap of garbage, The Hindustan Times of India reports:

A local couple, Periaswamy and Mohanasundari, found the semi-paralyzed Chinnammal Palaniappan. She told them she had been living with the family of the youngest of her three daughters, who would quarrel incessantly over who should take care of their infirm mother.

On Saturday night, Sarasa, the daughter, allegedly told her two sons to take their grandmother to a spot from where she could never return. The boys bundled Chinnammal into an autorickshaw and threw her on the dump.

Crazy Solution:

Perhaps someone could invent some sort of Futurama style old people facility.

Just a thought….

Jail mysteries: French criminal escapes prison with chopper, while military sky dives into Colorado big house.

Off target

Irony, a word derived from the French language, a word that popped into my head when reading about what happened at a prison in south-east France.

A daring, and arrogant, flying escape from a very tenacious French crook.

The Australian Broadcasting Corp reports:

French criminal jailed for having organised a helicopter-assisted prison break has again escaped from a French prison using a helicopter.

Pascal Payet, 43, escaped from Grasse prison, in south-east France, after a helicopter hijacked by four masked men landed on the roof of the prison, said a source close to the investigation.

The helicopter landed some time later at Brignoles, 38 kilometres north-east of Toulon, on the Mediterranean coast.

Those French dudes sure know how to escaping prison in style.

More detail from expatica.com

Now, just a thought, could it be possibly that Pascal Payet and his gang got the idea from an unlikely source…?

This is a clip from an old Australian TV soap called Prisoner, aired from 1979-1986.

You might want to skip to about half way through, otherwise you’ll have to sit through some really horrible Australian accents the generation of Aussies up from me seems to have acquired.

As you’ll see its really lame stuff, but could this story be a case of art imitating life?

Fun times for all.

And since we’re speaking of prisons and air travel…

It’s been reported that in Colorado, USA, a squad of 25 military paratroopers mistakenly landed inside the perimeter of a state prison in the early hours of the morning.

Prison guards quickly escorted the clearly disorientated troopers off the grounds “without violence”, glad to know.

Apparently the US Air Force is keeping a lid on it, officially saying that they are unaware of any such incident.

Update: The US military finally commented today, CNN reported, but were not generous with the details.

“Those were Special Operations Command forces conducting routine training,” Army Col. Hans Bush, a spokesman for the command at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, said Monday. He declined to identify the units that landed at Fremont Correctional Facility but said the target was Fremont County Airport.

Driver to woman: You’re “too sexy for my bus!”, So GET OFF!

 Too dam sexy for the bus!

Oh, she’ll stop traffic….

A 20-year-old German woman was threatened to be thrown off the bus she was riding because she was too dam hot.

In particular her cleavage was apparently too much to handle for the distracted driver, who was clearly having a bad day.  Poor bloke.

The woman named Debora C told German tabloid Bild that without warning the driver stopped the bus, opened the door, and started shouting at her.

Reuters reports:

“He opened the door and shouted at me ‘Your cleavage is distracting me every time I look into my mirror and I can’t concentrate on the traffic. If you don’t sit somewhere else, I’m going to have to throw you off the bus.”‘

The German beauty said that she moved to another seat but was left humiliated by the bus driver.

A spokesman for the bus company defended the driver.

“The bus driver is allowed to do that and he did the right thing,” the spokesman said. “A bus driver cannot be distracted because it’s a danger to the safety of all the passengers.”

Here’s the storty: From Bild online. (you need to know German to read it)

Oh, and her is her photo.

  Debora C, too sexy for that bus!

I really was expecting something a little skanky. You know, sort of like 2002 Christina Aguilera skanky.

I think that bus driver was just having a really bad day. A really, really bad day. 

Hey Mr Bus driver, here’s something that might cheer you up, which ever way you might swing….

Update: Pizza with a side of porn, big hit with the ladies.

 ”Hungry for more than just pizza?”

 

Sex sells, it’s the old cliché, but its true.

Some smart entrepreneurial moves in western Canada sees every box of pizza coming with a free erotic picture “that would make Larry Flynt blush”.

Porno Pizza in Winnipeg has been doing brisk business since opening last week, titillating the hungry with racy pictures at the bottom of every pizza box.

“They range from softly-lit, lube-on-the-lens pictures like in Playboy, to raunchy, hardcore photos,” owner Corey Wildeman said.

“The image is revealed as you eat the pizza.”

The “ultra erotic” marketing gimmick has attracted “scowls” from some observers, “hooting and hollering” from others and at least one “drive-by flashing” of breasts, he said.

“We live in a society that is so steeped in porn that people have it delivered to the dinner table,” Roz Prober of child advocacy group Beyond Borders lamented in the Winnipeg Free Press.

Indeed, Mr Wildeman, 30, is already in talks with potential partners to open franchises across Canada after selling hundreds of pizzas in one week.

“You’ll never go broke appealing to the lowest common denominator,” he explained.

“Everyone knows – sex sells.”

Wildeman said he came up with the idea for the naughty pizzeria while talking with friends about classic porn flicks in which “pizza delivery guys meet lonely ladies and deliver more than just pizza”.

Unexpectedly, more than 75 per cent of his customers turned out to be women.

Pizza Porn, coming to a pizza box near you. Yum, yum!

Update: I’ve just discovered the web site of this fantastic concept!

Pizzaporno.ca

Combos include: ‘Missionary Position’ (sounds boring), ‘Mr. Big’ (obviously named after me), and ‘Climax’, which includes every topping.

If your in Canada you have to try it and tell me all about it!

I would if I could!

Yuck! Live rats a culinary delight after plague in China.

 

Yummy rat!

A few days back I wrote about the estimated 2 billion rats that have been plaguing a rural are of China after flooding of the giant Dongting Lake (includes Reuters video).

The unbelievable scene of rats pilled on top of each other and havoc local farmers had many crops ruined.

Well, now it turns out, in the true spirit of China’s new found capitalism that some people have been cashing in on the misfortune.

Live rats are being captured by locals, and trucked into the counties south, where fresh rat seems to be a culinary delight for thousands of wealthy restaurant goers.

Yes, with the new found wealth of many Chinese, it is customary to eat “exotic things” as a way of showing off your riches. And the consumption of rat is the latest in an extravagant eating trend, which also sees the consumption of other interesting creatures such as snakes and owls.

News Reports:

“Recently there have been a lot of rats … Guangzhou people are rich and like to eat exotic things, so business is very good,” the China News Service quoted a vendor as saying.

Some vendors had asked people from a village in Hunan province, near Dongting Lake, to sell them live rats, the Beijing News said today.

“The buyers offered 6 yuan (9c) for a kilo, but as to where they will sell the rats, they would not say,” the newspaper quoted a local resident as saying, adding that villagers had to catch the rats live.

“If we want to do that, there is no problem. We could catch 150 kilos of rats in one night .. .but we will not do this against our conscience,” the villager was quoted as saying.

Some Guangdong restaurants were promoting “rat banquets”, charging 136 yuan ($20.70) for one kg of rat meat, the newspaper said.

Chinese media reported last week that some internet users from Guangdong had offered rat recipes as a way to deal with the problem.

Scientists have also blamed China’s massive Three Gorges Dam project and climate change for the Hunan rodents’ flight to dry land.

So, just for a laugh I thought I would organise some info on the sorts of nasty things rats are known to carry.

Eat up!

Swedish design chain Ikea wants you to sleep in-store over night!

Consumerism gone crazy?

Haven’t yet finished the shopping you wanted at Ikea, and the store looks like it’s about to close. Oh no! Guess you better head for the exits…Or do you?

No need to worry folks, you can stay in the store overnight, not a problem.

The Guardian reports:

“It will be like an alternative hostel,” said Frode Ullebust, a company spokesman. “There will be the regular dormitory with lots of beds stacked up together. We will also have a bridal suite, with a round bed and a hanging chandelier, and the luxury suite, where customers can enjoy breakfast in bed.”.

Every night the 30 customers permitted to sleep over will be able to stock up on meatballs, Norwegian salmon and cranberry mousse as Ikea is offering free dinner and breakfast. “The shop opens at 10am so if they are lazy, people might get woken up by shoppers testing out their mattresses,” Ullebust said.

Customers will also be able to take their bedsheets home. “It’s a nice souvenir,” he added. “We will also give them bathrobes with the Ikea Hostel logo on, and some slippers, so they won’t get cold at night.”

Now that’s just plain awesome. How much for the luxury suite I should wonder? Sounds like one hell of an idea for a honeymoon.

The crazy new idea will be tested in two Oslo, Norway warehouses. No word yet on the concept catching on in other parts of the world.

Sure hope it does!

It all begs the question, where did this sleep over Ikea idea come from?

Well, I’ve got a sneaking suspicion it must have been from this recent Aussie comedy sketch…

Shock & Horror: Beauty pageant winner stripped of title for “fake braids”

The Calgary Sun reports:

A newly crowned Bolivian beauty queen was stripped of her title after judges discovered she had worn fake braids during a pageant celebrating Aymara Indian fashions.

Mariela Mollinedo was chosen from 14 contestants Friday night for the title of Cholita Pacena 2007, an annual event that features the elaborate style favoured by La Paz’s Aymara women, known as “cholitas.”

But after the contest ended, judges discovered Mollinedo’s long black braids — an essential part of the cholita look — were extensions.

An absolutely disgraceful act on the behalf of Mariela, totally deserved to be stripped of her title. I mean, how dare she wear hair extensions?! A truly abhorrent act.

“Oh, by the way, I was being sarcastic”

Meanwhile, in the home of the modern day beauty pagent

It was announced that Miss New Jersey was allowed to keep her title, despite photos arising that show her acting “not in a ladylike manner.” Oh dear!

See photo’s here! (you’ve likely seen worse)

Sweetheart Amy Polumbo said that she wanted “to thank God for getting me through this.”

Sigh…Life’s tough being beautiful.

Video: War zone in Sydney as man goes on rampage with tank!

A man went on a crazy rampage though suburbs of Australia’s largest city, Sydney, in the early hours of the morning local time, taking out infastructure and sending police on a wild chase.

John Robert Patterson, 45, allegedly led officers on a 90-minute chase through six suburbs in Sydney’s west as he crashed the privately-owned APC through fences, mobile phone towers, telecommunication relay sheds and an electrical substation.

The man from Dharruk, in Sydney’s west, was arrested after the APC stalled on its way to damaging a seventh property, police said.

He was refused bail in court.

Defence lawyer Ivan Bertoia told the court that Patterson claimed “that certainly he had authority to behave in such a manner”.

In refusing bail, the magistrate recommended that Patterson, who had facial lacerations and a swollen left eye, receive medical and psychiatric attention.

The hearing was adjourned to local court on July 16.

Mobile phone services where the chase occurred were disrupted while technicians waited to gain entry to the crime scenes, police said.

Police on patrol had noticed the APC allegedly being used to destroy an electricity substation and followed the carrier through the suburbs of Mt Druitt, Dharruk, Emerton, Glendenning and Plumpton.

The pursuit ended in Dean Park when the vehicle stalled as it was being driven towards another mobile phone tower, police said.

Police arrested Patterson and charged him with numerous offences including malicious damage, break, enter and steal, predatory driving, possession of a prohibited drug, use of a weapon to avoid apprehension and driving in a dangerous manner.

Bizarre: Gunman demands dinner guest’s money, leaves with good wine, cheese and a lot of love.

 

The Crazy News blog- Random Event of the Week.

So, here’s the scene.

A group of friends and family in Washington D.C, USA, are just finishing a meal consisting of marinated steaks and prawns (shrimp), as we call them Down Under.

The group are now sitting on a back patio discussing life and the universe and such, sipping on fine red wine, making the most of a warm summer’s eve.

Suddenly, out of the darkness, a hooded man bursts in through an open gate and puts the barrel of a handgun to the head of a 14-year-old guest.

What happens next is weird at best…..

Masked Gunman: “Give me your money, or I’ll start shooting”

Dinner Guest: Well “we were just finishing dinner, why don’t you have a glass of wine with us?”

(Now, unmasked gunman takes sip of wine)

Masked Gunman: “Damn, that’s good wine.”

(Masked Gunman looks around at the faces of the group, then takes a bite of Camembert cheese, and another sip of wine)

Masked Gunman continues: “I’m sorry… I think I may have come to the wrong house, can I get a hug?”

One dinner guest, a children’s school worker takes the initiative, giving the now relaxed gunman a nice big warm hug.

Four other guests take their turns at a hug.

Masked Gunman: “That’s really good wine,” taking another sip. “Can we have a group hug?”

The man then walked out, with the crystal wine glass in hand offcourse, filled with Chateau Malescot.

He is yet to be caught.

It really is nice to know that deep down in side, most criminals just want to be loved.

So next time your dinner party is interrupted by a masked gunman looking for quick cash, offer him some wine and a good hug and maybe everything will turn out all right…. after all, all you need is love

Video: Most violent day yet in Pamplona Running of the Bulls, tourists hospitalised.

 A number of people from around the world have been seriously injured in Day 6 of the annual running of the bulls festival.

Report from San Jose Mercury News:

The pack of six 1,300-pound bulls and six steers—meant to keep the bulls running in a single pack—disintegrated shortly after the animals set off on the dash through the cobblestone streets of Pamplona in the sixth of eight planned runs.

One stray bull turned around and ran the wrong way. Herders with long sticks smacked it in the rump to get the animal pointed in the right direction.

The loose bull charged and tossed several runners—some of them clad in the traditional red-and-white garb of San Fermin—on its way to the bullring.

Several runners were trampled and seven runners were injured by bulls’ horns. One 48-year-old man from Pamplona was gored in the chest and was reported to be in very serious condition. A 23-year-old Mexican was gored in the stomach and was also reported as very serious.

The other runners who were gored were from Poland, Norway, Spain and the United States, with ages ranging from 23 to 50, officials said. They were all reported to be in serious condition.

Colourful wedding ceremony- Boa is nicknamed Xi Shun or “The Mast”

He had been searching for love for about a decade when he came across sales clerk Xia Shujun, the two had only spent one month together before they decided to get hitched.

Bao Xishu, a herdsman, is a huge celebrity in China, and has travelled to various parts of the world to be greeted with rock-star like crowds. But he isn’t just famous for his height.

Last year authorities in his homeland called him up to achieve something only a superhero could do, using his 1.06 meter long arms to reach into the stomachs of two dolphins who were dieing after they swallowed plastic.

The wedding was attended by hundreds of people and sponsored by more than a dozen companies hoping to cash in on the attention. Those new found capitalist Chinese sure know how to get in on the act.

At 29 Bao’s new wife stands at 1.68 meters (5ft 6) and at 29 is half her husbands age.

Xia said she was madly in love.

“You need to have feelings for someone to be in love. Even if he is a big shot, you can’t love him without feelings,” Xia said.

Mnaaa, makes you all warm and fuzzy inside….

A man has faked his own kidnapping in a truly bizarre attempt to avoid going to work.

The 22-year-old Japanese navy officer was found on Tuesday with his mouth gagged and hands tied in the bushes off a road in Kanagawa prefecture near Tokyo, police said.

He initially said he was assaulted and kidnapped by a robber.

But questioned further by police, who found his story suspicious, he admitted to have made it up, a spokesman said.

The man apparently thought that if he feigned being the victim of a robbery, he could avoid work, where he was having trouble with co-workers. “He said he was getting tired of work as he was caught between his superiors and subordinates,” the police spokesman said.

Revealed: Gays’ not allowed to join Facebook.

 

Apparenlty you’re allowed to be Hitler, but don’t even try being Gay on social networking site Facebook.

SMH.com.au reports:

It’s been revealed that the popular website – which boasts it has over 30 million members from around the world – does not allow people with the common Anglo Saxon surname Gay to join, assuming it is not a legitimate name.

After a story in New Zealand’s Dominion Post about 30-year-old Rowena Gay, who was denied entry to site because of her last name, smh.com.au undertook a test and found a person with the last name Gay was indeed not allowed to join.

“Please enter a legitimate name,” the website stated during our attempt. And while the website refused Gay, it had no problem allowing us to join with the last name Hitler.

What are you doing Facebook!? I can be Hitler but not Gay? Shame on you Facebook, shame!

Generosity gets weird in Japanese money mystery

 

What’s going on in Japan?

A mysterious and generous individual has been leaving gifts of 10,000 yen ($US 80) in male toilets across Japan, urging them to “do good deeds and not think of evil”.

So far there are estimates that up to 400 of the gifts have been left across Japan since September.

Each of the gifts is wrapped in a traditional Japanese envelope with a note in traditional calligraphy telling the recipient to use the money for personal development and to only take one envelope.

The generosity came to light because many of the Japanese who have found the envelopes have handed them over to authorities as lost property.

“It’s a strange thing to find,” a security guard said. “I’m surprised it’s not a isolated case.”

A handwriting expert, Hideho Kindaichi, said the money might have been left by a person familiar with Buddhism.

“It might be a bit of an exaggeration but it might be this person is thinking people are having a hard time one way or another.

“Therefore he’s offering this money to help people in this very uncaring society.”

Video: Billions of rats infest rural China.

 

Rats! Wheres’ that dam Pied Piper when you need him!

An estimated 2 billion rats have infested farm crops and villages after flooding in China’s east.

Farmers armed with ferrets and shovels had killed 90 tonnes of rats in the country’s eastern province of Hunan, where 1.6 million hectares (6,200 sq miles) of cropland have been laid to waste by rats fleeing rising flood waters in the giant Dongting Lake.

The rodents, whose island habitats in the lake were submerged by the rising tide from heavy summer rains, migrated in huge numbers to dry land, leaving a trail of destruction in about 20 counties, local farmers and officials told Wednesday’s China Daily.

“It’s like the mopping up by enemy troops in wars. We have nothing left,” 65-year-old farmer Yin Xinjin said.

Hustler nails juicy sex scandal!, Flynt on the hunt for more?

 

In June we reported that Hustle Magazine publisher Larry Flynt was on the hunt for a new Washington political sex scandal.

An advertisement in the Washington Post from Flynt was seeking individuals who have had “a sexual encounter with a current member of the United States Congress or a high-ranking government official”.

And now it appears that Flynt, a Democratic Party sympathiser, has got his meat.

Earlier in the week a Republican US Senator from the state of Louisiana, David Vitter contacted media and apologized for what he said was “a very serious sin” and that he had “asked for and received forgiveness from God and from my wife in confession and marriage counseling.”

 Senator Vitter

This was apparently tied to the so called DC Madam scandal that has been rocking the US Capital for some months now, leaving resignations from various US government officials in it’s wake.

 DC Madam

Now, Hustler is claiming credit for the outing, saying Vitter confessed after one of it’s journalist reported finding the senator’s number in the escort service’s phone records.

“Larry Flynt’s ongoing investigation into the dirty secrets of prominent elected officials has exposed another hypocrite,” Hustler said.

Some questions remain; will there be more political sex scandals to come? And, was someone payed the US $1million to uncover this latest sex scandal?

CNN has more goss on the juicy political scandal.

Scientists figure out why we hate/love Barbra Streisand.

 

Love it?

Or

Hate it?

An Australian researcher claims to have discovered why singers like Barbra Streisand and Barry Manilow; make people (like me) feel either angry and irritated, or happy and uplifted, Australian Broadcasting Corp reports.

Dr Emery Schubert says he had a gut instinct aboeut why some people found some songs schmalzy, while others found the tunes uplifting and inspiring.

But he decided to find out for sure by studying people’s reactions to songs.

“We know, psychologically, that one of the things that makes people like music is simply familiarity,” Dr Schubert said.

“So if you know a piece of music well enough you will start to like it.

“You may well attribute it to the features of the music – something about the melody and the harmony and so forth, but we also do note there’s a psychological effect.

“The other issue that [I was] interested in [was] the emotional effect.

“The new research that’s just come out is identifying a new measure, a new feature. Basically it comes down to this – if you can measure the emotion that a piece of music is trying to convey, and if you rate that by the particular listener, you [can] also measure the emotion that the listener is experiencing as a result of listening, and you take the difference of those two you get what’s called the ‘Differential Affect Gap’.

“The bigger that gap is – so, for example, if the piece of music expresses a lot of emotion but you are left unmoved by it, it’s a big Differential Affect Gap.

“What seems to happen is that when that’s big, people don’t like the music as much. When the two measures are connected, if they’re congruent between the expressed emotion and the felt emotion, people tend to like the piece more.”

Man arrives for wedding 1 year too early, travels 5600kms before realising.

 The Crazy News Tool of the Week

Talk about unfashionably early.

An expat Welshman flew across the Atlantic from Canada, expecting to attend a wedding, only to find out when he arrived that it wasn’t to occur in 2007 but in 2008, British media reports.

David Best sent friend David Barclay an email at the start of 2007 which mentioned his wedding date of July 6.

Despite receiving no invitation, and thinking it was a bit odd to have a wedding on a Friday, expat teacher Barclay nonetheless booked his flights and jetted the 5600km from Toronto to Cardiff, in Wales.

“I booked my ticket, paid $1175 to fly into Cardiff, got the old suit cleaned, the goatee trimmed, the head shaved – I was going to be the belle of the ball,” Mr Barclay told BBC Radio.

“I called his mum to find his number and then I called him up and I said, ‘When and where is this wedding? It’s in a couple of days and I’d just like to know where I’m going.’

“He said to me, ‘Mate, it’s not this year, it’s next year. 2008 not 2007.”

Only then did a whole list of other strange occurrences start to make any sense.

“I called his mum up and she didn’t mention it at all. I didn’t get an invitation, it was just on an email and I mentioned it to a friend we’re both friends with and he didn’t know what I was talking about,” Mr Barclay said.

“All these things came together and I thought, ‘Oh no, you berk.’ I’m a year early and my mates are loving it, aren’t they?

“At least it has assured me a mention in the speech next year, I reckon. Same time next year – I’ll be there.”

Juror: I’m a liar, homophobe & racist. Judge: Arrest that man!

 

I’ve never had to endure jury duty before and I’ve always thought to myself what I could do to get myself out of it if and when the call ever comes (touch wood it doesn’t).

A friend of mine once suggested that if the call up does come, I tell the judge in the case that I have certain anti-social attributes that might allow an excuse to go home. Well, before I got my chance to try someone in the United States had a go, and boy did it backfire!

A man called up for jury duty in Cape Code, Massachusetts, who claimed he was homophobic, racist and a habitual liar to avoid jury duty earned an angry rebuke from a judge; CNN reports the hilarious exchange between citizen and the state.

“In 32 years of service in courtrooms, as a prosecutor, as a defense attorney and now as a judge, I have quite frankly never confronted such a brazen situation of an individual attempting to avoid juror service,” Barnstable Superior Court Judge Gary Nickerson told Daniel Ellis, according to a preliminary court transcript of the exchange.

Ellis, of Falmouth, had been called to court with about 60 other potential jurors for possible service on a 23-member grand jury.

On a questionnaire that all potential jurors fill out, Ellis wrote that he didn’t like homosexuals and blacks. He then echoed those sentiments in an interview with Nickerson.

“You say on your form that you’re not a fan of homosexuals,” Nickerson said.

“That I’m a racist,” Ellis interrupted.

“I’m frequently found to be a liar, too. I can’t really help it,” Ellis added.

“I’m sorry?” Nickerson said.

“I said I’m frequently found to be a liar,” Ellis replied.

“So, are you lying to me now?” Nickerson asked.

“Well, I don’t know. I might be,” was the response.

Ellis then admitted he really didn’t want to serve on a jury.

“I have the distinct impression that you’re intentionally trying to avoid jury service,” Nickerson said.

“That’s true,” Ellis answered.

Nickerson ordered Ellis taken into custody. He was released later Monday morning.

Ellis could face perjury and other charges.

More muscle = More sex from women, study.

 

When is comes to a woman’s preference for a male partner, most studies have concluded that desirability was influenced by commitment and offcourse earnings potential, but a new study says physical characteristics matter more.

“Women are predisposed to prefer muscularity in men,” said study author David Frederick of UCLA.

The study was published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, and suggests muscles in men are akin to elaborate tail feathers in male peacocks: They attract females looking for a virile mate.

Women were more physically attracted to brawny men, especially for a fling. But when it comes to finding a long-term partner, they tend to pick a regular man over a mate with huge biceps.

“On the one hand, it makes them more sexy to women. On the other hand, it makes women more suspicious about their romantic intentions,” Frederick said.

So, want more one night stands men? Then get into that gym and those protein bars.

Or, if you’re looking for a more long term thing, then the gym can wait, too much muscle and those jealous women might think you’re going to betray them.

Spanish women demand equal rights with Bulls.

 

As you may know, the Spanish town of Pamplona is in the middle of it’s world famous running of the bulls festival— a nine day celebration that honors the city’s patron saint, San Fermín.

A few days before the annual festival started a semi-naked ”running of the nudes” protest took place by PETA, demanding an end to the event. 

And now a group of feminists are demanding, not the end of the bull running events, but a running of the cows to make the festival more gender equal.

The women are demanding that they get thier own version of the festival made world famous by Ernest Hemingway’s 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises.

A local student web site, www.estudiln.net, is demanding “equality for men and women”, arguing that its only logical that women should have their own bull run, despite the fact that women have been allowed to participate in the death defying race for many years.

 ”Cows, as well as bulls, have four legs and a natural instinct to run,” says their manifesto. “An encierro for cows, would put Pamplona at the vanguard of traditional fiestas with equality for men and women.”

Organizers of the festival, which runs from July 7-14, have not responded to the suggestion.

But, do cows have massive horns on their heads which can be used to spear the flesh of an adrenalin pumped human?

Not that I know of.

But perhaps a running of the cows would result in much less death and injury than a running with the bulls, but less fun offcourse.

Bull Running 2007- Yeeha!

China to blast rockets for rain free games.

 

They really are going all out to impress to world. A little too far perhaps.

Authorities in China have reavealed plans to fire rockets into the atmosphere to seed clouds and create a rain free 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

Local scientists have come up with an ambitious plan to force the heavens to open by firing dozens of chemical-infused rockets at threatening storm clouds, forcing them to let the water pour before the set-piece spectacle gets underway.

“We will use catalytic agents to force the rain clouds over the National Stadium to fall down prior to the opening ceremony,” Zhang Qiang told the state-run China Daily.

However, the plan depends on accurate weather forecasts or spectators in the spectacular – but uncovered – National Stadium may get wet on August 8 next year after all.

“We are still in the experimental stage,” Zhang said.

“The lack of rain so far this summer is making it difficult to conduct more experiments and collect enough data. We need more rain.”

Wang Yubin, a Beijing meteorologist, said the weather bureau would use “catalytic agents to force rain clouds to burst, should there be any, hours before the (opening) ceremony”, to ensure good weather.

But he added: “The forecast will have to be fairly accurate or we will not be able to fulfil our mission … Cloud dispersal is more difficult than seeding, and we are working on it,” the paper quoted Wang as saying.

A more pressing problem facing the authorities is the poor air quality in Beijing and the smog which often blankets the rapidly-growing city.

Beijing has plans to shut down its factories and prohibit traffic during the Olympics in a bid to keep the air clean.

Looking foward to it.

Wanted: Condom Testers. Best job in the world?

    G’day baby!

Sick of the usual 9-5 working day?

How about a job as a condom tester?

And the only catch is that you need to have regual sex. That couldn’t be so hard, could it?

The Australian arm of British condom company Durex is on the prowl for males to help them test their new range of protection.

Local marketing manager Sam White said any Australian over the age of 18 could apply for one of 200 positions as a condom tester.

Unfortunately the position is not paid, but successful applicants will receive a free $60 selection of Durex products and will be required to provide the company with honest feedback about the products’ performance.

One of the lucky 200 testers will win a $1000 bonus.

Applicants must explain why they would make an expert condom tester, Mr White said.

“With this job on your CV, it really will be a chance to brag to your mates about the special skills you possess, not to mention that your new role will work wonders with the opposite sex,” he said.

“Who wouldn’t want to have a chance with an actual authorised professional?”

“We see this tester position as a great opportunity to get deeper, more penetrating feedback from our customers.”

Anyone interested in the offer can apply online by visiting the Durex Australia website.

This gets me thinking…

 I’m an Australian! Maybe I should apply, although I am in need of a sex partner, due to recent lady troubles. (You don’t believe me do you?)

Any takers?

 

Video: Sex & orgasms turns EU politics wild.

 

Sex controversy has exploded at the European commision after a video designed to promote the European cinema industry drew criticism from the media.

The EU executive’s usually boring news conference sprung to life with questions over whether a 44-second clip of 18 couples achieving ecstasy in a mulitple positions and venues was the best way to show uses of taxpayers’ money.

“Let us for once also have a good sense of humor and let us not start the old wars of the fifties about what is sex, what is pornography and what is simply normal to watch on television,” spokesman Martin Selmayr appealed.

The raunchy clip is made up of snippets from various general release films that have been funded by the EU, including “Amelie” and “Good Bye Lenin!.”

Some reporters also took a swipe at the title of the sequence, asking whether “Let’s Come Together” was acceptable innuendo — and if it was, whether the pun worked in the 27-member Union’s other official languages.

See what all the fuss is about.

There really is something for everyone!

Women’s clothing the best cover.

Wearing a burqa as a clever undercover disguise is the new in thing these days, with the head to toe Islamic garment used as a convenient cover by everyone from European bank robbers to Indian pop stars.

On Tuesday it was reported that a group of armed men in Bosnia stormed into a Sarajevobank bank branch, ordering customers to hand over belongings and emptied out the day’s takings, getting away with around US $40,000.

Last week Indian composer and music star Himesh Reshammiya created an uproar after he visited a 13th century Islamic shrine in the traditional women’s clothing to avoid thongs of fans mobbing him.

Himesh likes it under-cover.

And today it was reported that a radical Islamic Pakistani cleric tried to give security forces the slip after a mosque siege in Islamabad.

Stinking rich Arab businessman shouts everyone a wedding!

   Everyone loves a mass wedding!

A wealthy Arab businessman has treated 13 couples from the tiny African nation of Djibouti to a free wedding. Why not!?

The couples were chosen from hundreds who replied to an advert seen on TV, radio and in print, offering the all expenses payed mass ceremony.

In order to qulify couples had to ”be Djiboutian, be a love match, one of them had to have a job, and had to demonstrate they had enough money to bring up a young family.”

“I am very excited, and I hope to have sons and daughters from my marriage,” Amina Omar Aden, one of the 30 brides all dressed in white gowns, said.

“I am very happy, because it is the 30th anniversary of our country and we are marrying. Ibrahim Loita has helped us so much,” Ibrahim Dhaban Hufane a bridegroom from the Arte region told the BBC.

Dubai businessman Sheikh Ibrahim Said Ahmed Loita paid for clothes, hotel party and accommodation and the dowry of $400 given to each bride and an undisclosed amount to her family.

The mass wedding was even attended by the nations (dictator) President and First Lady.

The former French colony is celebrating 30 years of independence this year.

Djibouti is one of the poorest nations in the world.

Adulterous sex to bring down Chinese Communist Party?

 

In a hardening of previous policy, the Chinese government are set to crack down on government officials who have been found to have “kept and supported” mistresses, in a move aimed at ‘raising social morals’.

Mistresses and “second wives” are common among government officials and businessmen in China.

Corrupt officials are a major cause of public outrage in China, and the country’s Communist rulers have warned that if graft is not checked it could threaten the party’s grip on power.

Chinese policy makers found it ”necessary to make a clarification and emphasis” on the punishment for officials who supported mistresses.

“The morality of government officials shown in their management or power operation… directly affects the moral level of the whole society.”

“Therefore, officials should set up good examples, and abide by social morality rules.”

Last year, a Chinese vice admiral was jailed for life on embezzlement charges after one of his many mistresses blew the whistle on him when he refused to give in to her demand for money.

Sex in the office, Australia says YES! YES! YES!.

 

A survey on the work habits of Australian adults has found that 1 in 5 people claim to have had a sexual encounter in the office.

A survey by online job search website linkme.com.au said that about 20% of Aussies have not only been getting intimate at the office but also admit to doing ‘it’ during work hours.

The findings hinted at several possible reasons for Aussies getting so up close and personal with work colleagues, which also found that almost one in four Aussies had met their long term partner at work. 

Possible causes of widespread intimacy may stem from people spending more time in the office than ever before, leading to close freindships and socialising.

And colleagues who work in a similar field are likely to share interests and this is an element many people look for in a partner.

The survey found only 13 per cent of Aussies saw romantic relations in the office as unethical and a mere four percent of workers had a no fraternising clause in their contract.

The Crazy News- Tool of the Week

Some people have all the time in the world.

Regular Homer Simpson, Greg Packer, is claiming his 15 minutes of fame for the second time in New York this week. Or is it the 3rd or 4th or 5th time?

The 43-year-old retired highway maintenance worker (retired? how much do they get paid) started lining up to be the first to purchase the new iPhone from Apple’s flagship store in Manhattan, 101 hours before it goes on sale 6pm Friday US eastern time.

  Apple Man

Packer has since been joined by about more than a dozen other iPhone fans and opportunists, who have also chosen to join in on the sit in, braving the concrete enhanced heat of the other famous Big Apple.

Packer says he is relying on food donations and the bathroom facilities at the Apple Store, which is open 24-hours a day.

 Sitting is fun.

This isn’t the first time our good friend has made headlines waiting for fancy new products to come on sale; he was one of the first to buy a Playstation 3 when that went on sale last November. Indeed, he even has his own wikipedia page, which says he has appeared in mainstrem media more than 100 times, quoted by various media organisations since the mid 1990’s infact.

And according to US TV news host Keith Olberman, this guy is a bit of a pest. The Associated Press even put out a memo to it’s journalists, warning them not to “indulge him”.

The iphone retails between $US499 for a 4GB memory and $US599 for one with 8.

And guess what! Our iPhone friend even has his own wordpress blog!

He’s looking for someone to donate him a comfy chair for all that sitting he’s been doing. It just goes to show, you don’t need to have much talent to be famous in America, just ask Paris Hitlon.

You also have to wonder, could this be a smart marketing stunt from the Jobs’ Apple team? Maybe you should ask..maybe I should ask. Naaa…

Update: Interview with iPhone Greg and fellow lineruperer David.

It’s a circus out there!

Meanwhile, on Friday, just hours before the iPhone went on sale in New York City, a camera crew doing a live interview had a number of those gathered in and near the line taunting and swearing at them. A bloke even tired to grab the reporter’s microphone, before being hammered to the ground by security/teamsters.

 

Politician puts dog on roof for 12 hour car trip, back in the 80’s

 

In American politics, if your running for office, particularly the Presidency, it appears anything you may or may not have done in the past is fare game. No matter how trivial or serious.

Mitt Romney is a former US State Governor and is now currently seeking the nomination for President from the Republican Party (the one George W. Bush belongs to).

About 25 years ago, on one of his many family road trip holidays, Romney decided it was a good idea to strap the family pet,  Seamus, to the car roof for a 12 hour journey from Massachusetts to Canada.

And now, a quater of a century later, animal rights activists are outraged.

Time Magazine reports:

Seamus protested in a scatological way, going to the bathroom on the roof of the car.

Animal rights activists said the tale seems a little cruel.

“It is commonsense that any dog who’s under extreme stress might show that stress by losing control of his bowels: that alone should have been sufficient indication that the dog was, basically, being tortured,” Time quoted Ingrid Newkirk, president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals as saying.

Newkirk said it was “a lesson in cruelty that was … wrong for [his children] to witness.”

So, next time you strap your pet dog to the roof of your car for the 12 hour trip, make sure youre not running for President 25 years later, otherwise you might get yourself into trouble.

Lesson learned.

Speaking of PETA.

Spice Girls Back!, be afraid, be very afraid.

 

A few years ago all the rage in fashion was 70’s and then 80’s inspired looks, and now after more than 9 years since splitting, the quintessential 90’s pop band, The Spice Girls are back. Oh shit!

Yes, Scary, Baby, Ginger, Posh and Sporty are set to make a comeback and introduce themselves to a new generation of uber cool 00’s kids, after a press conference in London.

Video from press conference.

 The ladies will play 11 live shows in 8 countries around the world to support a greatest hits album which comes out later this year.

The tour dates are as follows:

2007

December 7 – Los Angeles

December 8 – Las Vegas

December 11 – New York City

December 15 – London

December 20 – Cologne

December 23 – Madrid

2008

January 10 – Beijing

January 12 – Hong Kong

January 17 – Sydney

January 20 – Cape Town

January 24 – Buenos Aires

The girls promised to perform all their classic hits during the show.

But they refused a challenge to sing live at the press conference in response to a report that their voices will be digitally enhanced on the tour.

“We don’t need to prove anything,” Mel C said.

The tour will be supported by a documentary which claims it will show the definitive story of the Spice Girls.

Halliwell said: “It’s going to be the most honest story that you’ve ever heard. You get to see the dark side of the Spice Girls, the gritty side, the tears.”

“I like to think our songs are universal and they are timeless. Hopefully, the young’uns will like it too,”Geri Halliwell,the oldest of the group gushed.

They sold more than 55 million records around the world, and even starred in a film, Spice World, after forming in 1994.

In the drink. The one about the golfer and the gator.

 

A 50 year old amature golfer had a fun old time when his ball landed in a water hazord.

Bruce Burger was trying to retrieve his ball from a pond on the 6th when an one eyed alligotor came out of the water, grabbing Burgers tasty right arm and pulled him in.

The man used his free arm to beat the reptile in the head and was eventually freed. He was taken to hospital with minor wounds.

 “I saw him reach down to get his ball and he yelled” for help, said Janet Pallo, who was playing the fifth hole and ran over to drive the man to the clubhouse.

The pond at the sixth hole has a “Beware of Alligator” sign.

“Unfortunately, that’s part of Florida,” course general manager Rod Parry said. “There’s wildlife in these ponds.”

Talk about your water hazard.

Does this remind you of a certain one eyed alligator in the film Happy Gilmore?

Ouch!, man gets testie ripped off by crazed woman…

   Testicle for dinner anyone?

What a nut case!

A woman has been jailed after she ripped off her former boyfriend’s testicle with her bare hands. The woman apparently went into a frenzied rage after her ex rejected her advances at the end of a house party in Liverpool, England.

24 year old Amanda Monti pulled off 37 year old Geoffrey Jones’ left testicle and then tried to swallow it, not a misprint. After deciding not to devour the fresh man sack, she spat it out. Then amazingly a friend handed it back to Mr Jones saying: “That’s yours.”

  Jailed.

Amanda Monti admitted wounding and was jailed for two-and-a-half years by Judge Charles James.

The court heard that Mr Jones had ended his long-term but “open relationship” with Monti towards the end of May 2007.

The pair remained freinds and on 30 May this year she picked him up from a party where they went back to the man’s house for drinks with other friends.

An argument ensued and Mr Jones said there was a struggle between them.

In his statement, Mr Jones said Ms. Monti grabbed his genitals and “pulled hard”.

“That caused my underpants to come off and I found I was completely naked and in excruciating pain.”

The court heard that a friend saw Monti put Mr Jones’s testicle into her mouth and try to swallow it.

She choked and spat it back into her hand before the friend grabbed it and gave it back to Mr Jones. Doctors were unable to re-attach the organ.

In a letter to the court, Monti said she was sorry for what she had done.

She said: “It was never my intention to cause harm to Geoff and the fact that I have caused him injury will live with me forever. I am in no way a violent person.”

The letter added: “I have challenged myself to explain what has happened but still I just cannot remember. This has caused much anguish to me and will do for the rest of my life.”

Very, very disturbing stuff..

Chancellor shows us her tits, via photoshop.

Got milk?

A conservative Polish news magazine Wpropst (you need to know Polish if you click that), has gone soft-core porn and stirred up a fuss ,which as you can see, is a little bit of an eye catcher.

The politics and society magazine chose to take the visual dig at the Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel, and Poland’s ruling twins Jaroslaw and Lech Kaczynski, after complex pole-itical (yes I know, lame) agreements were made between the countries at a European summit recently.

“Germany used to be Poland’s principal partner in the West,” it said. “Now it has become our prosecutor-in-chief,” the mag wrote.

London newspapers reported that the article argued:

 Germany was treating its eastern neighbour neo-colonially and refusing to accept it as a European partner and accused Dr Merkel of humiliating Poland at the summit because she was full of complexes.

 A Polish media watchdog said the publication “overstepped the limits of good taste”.
 

“Dont mention the war!”

During the same summit that prompted the magazine cover, the Polish Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski said that Polands’ population would be a lot larger if so many had not been killed by the Nazis in World War 2.

Errr, awkward.

How do twins become President and Prime Minister of a country anyway?

Speaking of awkward….

Marijuana good to eat, says politician.

In a nation renowned for its extremely harsh punishment for drug crimes, Indonesia’s Vice President said it was just fine and dandy for Marijuana to be included in everyday cooking

“It’s alright to use it as a food seasoning,” VP Jusuf Kalla was quoted as saying by the Jakarta Post daily.

 The comments come after two Indonesian agencies recommended the government review policy outlawing marijuana for recreational purposes.

One official even reckons national policy should follow counties like the Netherlands, and legalise modest use of the wacky weed.

   Indo VP High as a kite?

Local Indonesian dishes like mutton and beef curry are said to be laced with marijuana seeds to give them a distinctive local flavour.

Indonesia imposes very harsh penalties including death for drug offences, with 6 Australians, 5 Chinese, a Dutchman and a Frenchman all on death row for recent offences

King of talk meets Queen of Celeb on CNN.

The Paris Hilton media circus was in full swing, with serious and soft journalists from around the world descending on Hollywood just to see one woman get out of jail.

Hundreds of photographers, camera and sound operators, reporters, bloggers and general losers bombarded her with questions, camera flashes, and general screaming as she walked a media gauntlet to greet her family in a large SUV outside the jailhouse where she spent the last few weeks.

Hilton stepped to freedom just after 12am local time.

Hilton left the media madness with a major convoy in toe, and TV networks across America went live with an OJ Simpson style news chopper chase as the Hiltons spent about 45 minutes on the road travelling to the Hollywood hills for a stay at the heavily fortified mansion of the Hilton grandparents.

Hilton’s stay cost taxpayers US$1,109.78 a day, more than 10 times the cost of housing inmates in the general population.

Paris will chat to TV talk show host Larry King in an interview sure to be one of CNN’s best rated in history.

Hold ‘em player wins free sex.

 

A strip bar in Victoria state in Australia has awarded the winner of a Texas hold ‘em poker tournament  with a voucher to a brothel.

“Some venues offer a drink card or a chicken parma – ours is a free half-hour session at the local bordello,” said the bar owner.

The tournaments are linked to the National Poker League competition. 

The prize has outraged local family groups. The President of the Australian Family Association said she was dissapointed.

“We are seriously disappointed that a local business thinks that a brothel voucher is an appropriate prize to hand out in a public venue,”Angela Conway said.

Some have all the luck.

Give me jail! Women’s undergarment robber demands of Judge.

The Crazy News- Tool of the Week 

A judge in Colorado, USA, granted a defendent his wish to go to jail after he confesed to breaking into womens homes’ and stealing their underwear.

Prosocuters had recommended that 40 year old Steven Quatkemeyer be put under probation, as several misdemeanors and six other felony counts were dropped in exchange for a guilty plea from the thief. But probation was not enough for the drug addict, so he demanded he be put in the big house.

“I apologize to the families affected from the bottom of my heart,” a weeping Quatkemeyer told the court. “After a couple of weeks of incarceration, I realized what I had done was very wrong.”

After pleading with the Judge to be locked away, Quatkemeyer was then given a sentence of 4 years.

Defense attorney Mark Rue said Quatkemeyer felt he needed the treatment programs offered by the state prison system.

Police arrested Quatkemeyer for stealing hundreds of pairs of lingerie and panties after a victim who had been subjected to repeated break-ins installed video surveillance equipment.

Quatkemeyer said a methamphetamine addiction led him to his clandestine life of stealing, then wearing, women’s underwear.

Police found night vision goggles when they arrested him.

Thats right, he could have got off with probation, but instead he insisted he go in the big house. He got himslef 4 long years in the slamma. If this isn’t the definition of tool, I dont know what is. I trust you enjoyed the pictures.

Man fails exams for 38th time, says he will try again.

 

A 73 year old Indian man has failed to get though his high school exam for the 38th time. Every year since 1969 Shiv Charan Yadav has attempted to pass a test normally given to 15 year olds.

The farmer has vowed not to get married untill he can pass the exam seems like he is running out of time.

“Once I pass I want to get married to a girl who’s under 30,” he told media.

Mr Yadav, who lives alone in Kohari village in the western desert state of Rajasthan, was in his 30s when he first decided to better himself through education.

In this years test, he failed everything except Sanskrit, scoring only 103 points out of a possible 600.

He said he found mathematics especially hard, blaming the subject for dragging down his score.

He is now revising for his 39th attempt next year.

6 months jail for baggy pants.

Delcambre town council, in Louisiana, USA, has ordained penalties of up to six months in jail and a $US500 fine for people who wear low-hanging pants, exposing their underwear and body parts to the world.

In ordering the penalties, the mayor, Carol Broussard, described the saggy-pants situation in Delcambre as “way out of hand”.

Albert Roy, the councillor who introduced the ordinance, agreed the fine was steep but said he still favoured the measure. “I don’t know if it will do any good, but it won’t hurt,” he said.

Broussard’s advice for people who like their pants on the low side of decency? “Just wear it properly. Cover your vital parts. I mean, if you expose your private parts, you’ll get a fine. If you walk up and your pants drop, you get a fine. They’re better off taking the pants off and just wearing a dress.”

Sexy Paris Spoof..Hilton the Fake?..And how she’s finally back to real prison..

 

Paris Hilton has been transferred out of a medical ward at a Los Angeles County jail and returned to the all-women’s facility where she began her sentence for a probation violation more than a week ago, a sheriff’s official said Thursday.

After her brief release last week after just three days behind bars caused an uproar, a judge sent Hilton, 26, back into the jail system, starting at a downtown correctional treatment center where she was to undergo medical and psychiatric exams to determine where she should be held.

The official would not elaborate on where in that facility the heiress was housed. When she began her 45-day sentence on June 3, she was confined to a solitary cell in a special needs unit away from other inmates.

 Paris Hilton’s new home from now till the end of her jail term.

Paris was moved around 11 p.m. Wednesday, to the Century Regional Detention Center in Lynwood, the women’s prison where she had started out.

    Americas’ sweethearts….

Meanwhile,

According to OK! maganzine, the Paris Hitlon about face we all heard about from Barbara Walters earlier in the week, has got more to do with her finances than any real remorce.

“Paris finally saw that her spoiled brat behavior and repeated attempts to escape her sentence would turn fans against her, ruining lucrative endorsement deals,” OK! reckons.

A source tells OK!: “It’s going to be hard to find an organization that actually wants her.”

And to cap off this Paris bulletin, I only do it because my traffic goes through the roof…the Paris Hitlon Music Video Jail Spoof……

In Worlds fastest ageing nation, even pet dogs get nursing home.

 

Japan is about to have its first aged care facility for mans best friend, the dog.

20 dogs nearing the end of thier lives will be pampered and cared for at a facility set up by Saradi Corporation, cashing in on a demand for dog carers, as many people become too old to care for their own pets.

The facility, located in the resort area of Nasu north of Tokyo, will have a veterinarian on standby 24 hours a day and the dogs will be able to exercise regualarly, eat natural foods and mix with younger dogs to maintain their vitality.

“We see a strong demand for these services, partly because owners are ageing alongside their dogs and also because many women work nowadays, leaving them no time to care for their dogs,” the companies chief executive Nana Uchida says.

Japan is the world’s fastest-ageing nation, with 40 per cent of the population expected to be over 65 in the next 50 years. The average lifespan of Japan’s 13 million dogs has also extended from five years or less in the 1980s, to 15 years or more recently, thanks to improved diet and medical care.

Women dream about sex just as much as men.

 

A new Canadian study on what we dream about when we sleep says that men and women dream about sex on an equal level.

The study was based on interviews with 109 women and 64 men who logged their dreams over a period of two to four weeks. The volunteers racked up some 3500 dreams, with 8 per cent of those being of an erotic nature.

It found that women think about doing it with movie and rock stars and politicians or lovers of past, while men dream about making love to multiple partners in public or unknown settings.

The women who took part in the study were twice as likely to have dream scenarios featuring celebrities such as actors Brad Pitt or George Clooney, or Irish rocker Bono, as their male counterparts.

Men, on the other hand, reported dreams featuring multiple sex partners twice as often as the women.

Men almost never had to put their ego on the line and come on to a woman. In about 90 per cent of the erotic dreams males logged, the women made the first move.

“The men had women coming on to them – at least in their dreams,” said author Antonio Zadra, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Montreal in Canada.

The pattern may reflect a certain amount of wishful thinking given the usual social norms that apply in the dating and courtship world, Professor Zadra said.

And finally, when it came to erotic dreams that dealt with sexual disappointments, the genders had very different tales to tell.

The women recounted scenarios where they were turned off by something that happened or the pace of proceedings. For the men, it was more often a case of their virtual partners refusing to engage in certain activities, or their sexcapade plans falling through for some reason.

“Maybe their demands were unrealistic even for their dream characters,” Prof Zadra said.

All the participants in the study were heterosexuals.

One old whale, 1880’s weapon fragment found in huge mammal caught off Alaska.

 

Fragments of a weapon used by whale hunters off Alaska in the 1800’s has been found lodged in a Bowhead whale, caught by the indigenous Inupiat people recently.

The fragment shows that the whale could be nearly 130 years old, said Craig George, a wildlife biologist with the borough’s Department of Wildlife Management.

“It was probably at least a yearling when it was struck, because the whalemen never took calves”

  

The Beautiful Bowhead whale in icy Alaskan waters.

The fragment of bomb lace was given to scientists by the Inupiat whalers, who are allowed to catch up to 50 of the speices a year in Alaskan waters.  The hunt is managed by the Alaska Eskimo Whaling Commission. There is a population of around 8,000 Bowheads in Alaskan waters.

The Inupiat have long said that bowhead whales live for the equivalent of two human lifetimes, and the find suggest that knowledge is indeed right.

Commercial whaling is banned worldwide, althought the Japanese would like that to change. Native tribes from Alaska, Greenland and parts of Russia are allowed to hunt whales under a non-commercial agreement.

 In Alaska, meat from hunted whales is distributed to all residents of the hunters’ villages.

Inupiat in Alaska divide up whale meat.

Japan declares ‘War on Animals’

 

Post World War 2 Japan has had a strict self- defence only policy, but the Land of the Rising Sun is about to declare war on our friends in the animal kingdom

Having debated since March on how to deal with wild animals such as boars, bears and monkeys who attack crops and enter populated areas, a group of Japanese ruling party politicians has agreed to call on the military for help.

   Japanese Macaque monkeys, probably the coolest monkeys in the world, besides us ofcourse.

Under the plan, subject to approval from party executives, local leaders will be able to request help from the country’s Self Defence Forces to build fences and set traps. Some in the party are also calling for troops to use guns.

But the defence ministry is cautious on the use of weapons as Japan’s military activities are strictly curtailed by its pacifist constitution.

Oh deer….

  Hanging out with Japanese deer

Meanwhile, the ruling parties plans’ seem to be falling on deaf ears. Nearly half of Japanese voters want the ruling coalition to lose its upper house majority in July elections, a Kyodo news agency poll showed on Sunday.

The poll of 1,858 voters found 46.9 percent hoped Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s Centrist Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and its junior coalition partner New Komeito would lose, compared with 43.6 percent who wanted the ruling bloc to maintain its majority.

Shinzo Abe, lucky wild animals can’t vote.

Rats attack at McDonalds.

 

A woman in China has been compensated $290 US (2,200 yuan) by McDonalds Corporation after a rat climbed up her leg and bit her thight while she was eating a meal. 

The student had made a claim of 20,000 yuan to cover medical and other fees, as well as psycological truama she claimed the incident had caused.

The court ruled that McDonald’s was responsible for maintaining proper hygiene at its restaurants, in line with relevant hygiene standards of China, and should compensate the woman for failing to protect customer safety. The court did not rule on a particular monetray payment sum for the woman.

The unidentified woman said the incident caused her to become frightened by white mice and rabbits.

I wonder how much she would have been awarded if the incedent took place in a county like the United States or the UK?. A lot more I’de say.

Nude cycling the new in-thing.

Last week in Amsterdam it was cycling nude for art, this week in cities across Europe and North America they were doing it in the name of the environment, or something.

Under the slogan “As Bare As You Dare,” protesters felt the wind in their hair — and everywhere else — as they pedalled along demonstrating the risks they face on the roads and the impact that cars have on the environment.

Authorities generally turned a blind eye to one of the world’s more outlandish environmental protests, apart from in Paris where five of the unabashed riders were arrested for so-called “sexual exhibition.”

Most of the 400 people, including 160 on bikes, gathered for the Paris event decided that discretion was the better part of valour and fearing arrest redonned clothes and dispersed.

Many had turned their bodies into human placards, writing slogans or humorous messages across their stomachs or on their backs. “Warning: fragile!”, one said, “Warning: flesh!” another.

In London, 700 cyclists in various states of undress were reported to have gambolled through central London in another leg of the World Naked Bike Ride, while similar events happened in Manchester, Southampton and York.

The nude cyclists — and others with strategically-placed body paint, sticky tape or bum bags — began their ride at Hyde Park and finished in Wellington Arch, a route of about six miles (10 kilometres).

“We are seeing an increasing number of stories of melting ice caps and Antarctica crumbling away and no government is doing anything serious about this,” said Martin Ireland, one of the riders.

“They are paying lip service to the problem so people have been taking to their bikes, unclothed, to express their feelings about it.”

The very odd couple, 53 years of marriage and nothing but hate.

 

A Chinese couple now in their 80’s have such a bad relationship they can only communicate with terse notes, despite the fact that they still live in the same house as one another.

Mr Toa and Mrs Yang married back in 1954 after falling in love, but soon Mrs Yang said she discovered that Mr Yang had  ”too many faults”, and as time went on their relationship deterorated signifantly.

Her husband, Mr Tao, said things got particularly bad in 1989, a time when the couple would start arguing after just a few words with each other.

The old couple have now taken themselves to court, with Mrs Yang demanding that her husband give her an allowance so she can enjoy greater independence from him. Mrs Yang, 80, has never worked and so has no income of her own.

She told the court that if she wants something she leaves her husband a note saying such things as “no toothpaste”, which he then buys.

Mrs Yang, who arrived at court separately from her husband, is demanding he give her a 450 yuan ($59) monthly allowance out of his 1,000 ($130) pension.

The court, in Beijing’s Chaoyang District, is due to make a ruling next week.

 Not Mr Tao and Mrs Yang.

The Yangs have never divorced due to the notion being socially unacceptable and taboo among the older Chinese generation.

Whos top of the food chain? Lion joins in with Tiger in deadly attack on man.

 

A 56 year old man in Mexico City has lost his life after a lion and tiger kept as exotic pets on the roof of a Mexican meat processing plant attacked while being fed.

Caretaker Angel Aguilar was feeding chicken to the cats when the lion swiped through the bars of a steel cage used to keep the animals, pulling him inside. The tiger then joined in the attack.

The man was still alive when paramedics arrived on scene in the neighborhood of Iztapalapa, but they could not get past the animals to treat him.

The two big cats, which had separate living quarters but came together to eat, were  kept by the plant’s owner as pets and were in good health.

After the attack, which left scraps of bloodstained clothing on the floor of the cage, the animals were sedated and the tiger’s jaws tied around a chunk of wood.

The tiger later died, apparently of suffocation, after being transported by animal protection authorities to a nearby zoo in a small container. The lion survived the journey.

Loch Ness Monster bounty, $2million could be yours. Rock on!

 

 As The Crazy News reported a few days ago, new video evidence caught by an Englishman has stirred renewed interest in the existence of the fabled Loch Ness monster.

 Something in the water….

And now some in the UK are cashing in on Nessie fever, offering a 1 million pound reward to anyone who can prove the actual existence of the monster.

Bookmakers William Hill are supplying up to 50,000 instant cameras to fans attending a Loch Ness pop festival in Scotland next weekend.

“We are hoping the one million pound bounty will help to solve one of the great enigmas of modern times,” William Hill spokesman Rupert Adams said.

The winner will have to offer proof that satisfies experts at London’s Natural History Museum.

The bookmakers are confident the bounty will not be claimed at the Rock Ness music festival on June 9 and 10 — they are offering odds of 250-1 about it happening in 2007

Caught fingerless, German man learns painful way , crime “doesn’t pay”.

  The finger

A breakin at Berlins Technical Museum left a burgular one finger short on Tuesday night.

A 35 year old man set off an alarm at the museum and soon found himself being chased by two securtity guards. He somehow escaped, climbed a 3 meter fence, which snagged a ring on his right hand.

The man managed to free himself — but only after tearing off the finger. The security guards arrested him when he went back to recover the severed digit and ask for medical aid.
“His comment afterwards was: ‘Breaking and entering doesn’t pay,’” said a spokeswoman for local police. Doctors were unable to reattach the man’s finger.

Jericho; TV fans go nuts after cancellation, literally.

  Not crazy, its f*#king nuts!

Passionate fans of TV show Jericho have launched, and may be winning, a campaign to have the show put back on the air by sending millions of nuts to CBS TV executives across the United States.

In May, when CBS Television cancelled the show about life in a small rural town after a nuclear holocaust, legions of fans were incenced, and plans were soon hatched to have the show re-instated. The idea to send nuts was soon chosen, and with a little help of some smart marketing from nutsonline.com, the campaign took off, and now some rumours say the show may get 8 more episodes. 

Quoting an anonymous source, The Associated Press Tuesday said CBS is reconsidering its decision to cancel the show. A decision on whether to bring the show back, probably for a mid-season run, is imminent. Is this a PR stunt to stem the flow of nuts, or is it genuine? Only time will tell Jericho fans.

Jericho cast and babes…

Why nuts?

In the final episode of “Jericho,” the town is under siege from a neighboring community.  When asked to surrender, lead character Jake Green, played by Skeet Ulrich, has a one-word response: “Nuts.”

The response is a reference to Gen. Anthony McAuliffe, a U.S. Army general who in World War II was surrounded by Germans demanding his surrender. His response: “Nuts.”

All I have to say is, what a waste of food.

See what all the fuss is about, 2006 Jericho promo. 

“Watch Out!” Iron Mike goes Bollywood, and he’s got a “Licence to Kill”.

  

Former heavyweight boxing champion and ear eating extodanare Mike Tyson is to star in an action thriller which would see the U.S. boxer imitate real life, India’s Mumbai Mirror said.

The former heavyweight champion featured in a promotional music video of newly released Bollywood film “Fool and Final”, but the cameo received such a positive response from viewers that the director  even incorporated the number in the film.

“I had decided to make a film with him later but after the promos featuring him received a great response, I decided to start the film sooner,” said producer Firoz Nadiadwala, who produced “Fool and Final”.

The daily said Tyson is getting a “huge price” for the new film — which will feature three top actors and be directed by a renowned filmmaker — but did not give any figure.

Tyson will play the role of a boxer, in a film expected to have a mix of drama and song and dance you would expect of your usual Bollywood film. The movie will be titled “Licence to Kill”. How original.

    “Fool and Final” babes.

 See the Tyson Bollywood promo, in all its lispy glory….

And for the “Fool and Final” theatrical trailer…it looks pretty exciting.

On the hunt for political sex scandal: Larry Flynt (Hustler), bidding at $1million.

 

“Have you had a sexual encounter with a current member of the United States Congress or a high-ranking government official?”

That was what readers of the Washington Post were confronted with Sunday, as Hustler magazine launches a bid to uncover any Washington sex scandal it can get its dirty hands on. A toll free number and email address was provided for anyone willing to come forward with documented evidence of illicit intimate relations with a congressman, senator or other prominent officeholder.

The last time Flynt made such an offer was in October 1998 during the drive to impeach President Bill Clinton over the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

In the following months, the pornographic publishing mogul threatened to expose one or two members of the Republican Congress pushing for the impeachment, according to media reports at the time.

Anyone who comes forward with a compelling story will receive a cool US 1million dollars. So any one out there got the goods? Is it you? I sure hope so.

Ashera: At $20,000, the worlds rarest and most intelligent cat could be all yours.

Mix the African Serval  

                  

& The Asian Leopard Cat

     

With your regular domestic cat.

& you’ve got yourself…

“The Cat of the Century”

The ultra-exotic  “Ashera” cat.

 

At a cool $20,ooo plus US dollars, the uber trendy Ashera cat is said to be the largest, rarest and most intelligent domestic cat. US based company  Lifestyle Pets Inc. has already sold two of the felines to an unknown Beverly Hills family, as well as a Russian mogul in Moscow.

A proprietary blend of the exotic bloodlines of the African Serval and
the Asian Leopard Cat and subsequently crossing with a domestic cat,
the Ashera is unique in that genetic monitoring is used to standardize breeding and ensure that the defining features and size of the Ashera remain exceptionally consistent.

Fully socialized, the Ashera gets along well with children and other
pets, acting and playing like a regular domestic cat. Unusually for cats,
the Ashera takes well to being walked on a leash (cat walk). The Ashera will be limited to less than 100 per year.

So all you need is just a spare 20,ooo US bucks and you’ll be all set. I think I’ll pass thanks, I’m more of a dog person anyway.

Speaking of Meowing, I thought I might just throw this one in for a cheap feline based laugh.

Prime Minister goes naked.

  ‘Iraq Triptych’

A 71 year old artist and sculptor protested his countries involvement in the war in Iraq by creating a drawing depicting British Prime Minister Tony Blair and his wife Cherie naked.

“I suddenly felt overcome with anger at the way Blair has messed up,”Artist Michael Sandle said. 

“There he was, elected by a huge majority, and he has allowed his vanity to destroy it all.”

The work, in charcoal and chalk, is based on medieval paintings of Adam and Eve being banished from the Garden of Eden. The centre of the drawing shows Tony and Cherie blair on the steps of their residence, 10 Downing Street, and side panels show Iraqi civilians being abused by British troops.

The art work is the centrepiece of the Royal
Academy’s Summer Exhibition.

Xiang Xiang the Chinese Panda dies. Was he murdered?

RIP Xiangxiang

According to CNN the first ever panda to be bred in captivity and  released into the wild was killed after falling from a tree, and may have died after being chased by wild pandas. The body of Xiang Xiang, a male panda, was found February 9 this year.

Researchers from the Wolong Giant Panda Research Center in Sichuan told CNN that Xiang Xiang had serious internal injuries on his left side and that scratches and other minor marks on the mammals exterior had shown wild pandas previously attacked the 73 kilogram Xiang Xiang, whose name means auspicious.

The news of Xiang Xiangs death was only realesed today by the Chinese authorities who attributed the late notice to a need to fully investigate what happened. Authorites said that the Xiang Xiang case showed that groups of wild pandas were reluctant to accept male outsiders and that the next panda to be released would be female.

There are about 1,600 wild pandas in the mountainous forest areas of China, but the population is heavily threatened by the massive rise of the Chinese economy, adding strain to the natural environment.

 This was not XiangXiangs first run in with wild pandas. He was injured back in late 2006, but was again released into the wild. He is seen here in a Chinese language news report

Jokes’ on Hilton, in jail life.

US socialite Paris Hilton began serving her Los Angeles jail sentence for violating probation Sunday night, her lawyer says.

Hilton turned herself in at the Men’s Central Jail in downtown Los Angeles just after 10:30 p.m., then was escorted to the all women’s facility in Lynwood, where she was booked, fingerprinted, photographed, medically screened and issued an orange top and pants

Earlier Sunday evening, Hilton attended the MTV Movie Awards near Hollywood, where she was the butt of comedians’ jokes, including a few jabs from Sarah Silverman (video) , which made Paris visibly unnerved, and left Jack Nicholson cracking up.

Hilton’s booking photo showed the heiress wearing what appeared to be a V-neck shirt, eye makeup and lip gloss that highlighted a slight smile. Her long blond hair was draped over one shoulder.

  The photo you will see on the front cover of  Tuesdays paper.

Paris will take her meals in her cell and will be allowed outside the 12-by-8-foot space for at least an hour each day to shower, watch TV in the day room, participate in outdoor recreation or talk on the telephone. No cell phones or BlackBerrys are permitted in the facility, even for visitors.

The jail, a two-story concrete building next to train tracks and beneath a bustling freeway, has been an all-female facility since March 2006. It’s located in an industrial area about 12 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles.

“I did have a choice to go to a pay jail,” Hilton said Sunday, without giving details. “But I declined because I feel like the media portrays me in a way that I’m not and that’s why I wanted to go to county, to show that I can do it and I’m going to be treated like everyone else. I’m going to do the time, I’m going to do it the right way.” Vote: Will Paris survive her 23 day stay in jail?

Dead man rides through the night.

A Croatian man rode on a tram for nearly 6 hours before the driver discovered he had died. The 61-year-old man boarded the vehicle around midnight Friday night, and soon fell asleep.

The tram went on picking up and dropping off passengers throughout the night, a Croatian daily newspaper reported.

The driver, separated by a glass partition from the rest of the tram, tried to wake him up at the end of his shift and realized he was dead.

The police put the death down to natural causes but are still awaiting post-mortem results of the man identified as Tomislav K.

Hot dog! Cracking the old Chestnut.

 

A California man has smashed the world record for hot-dog eating, gobbling up more than 59 franks in 12 minutes. Joey Chestnut surpassed the record of 53 3/4 hot dogs — held for six years by Takeru Kobayashi of Japan.

The 22-year-old set the record Saturday in Arizona in a regional qualifier for Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July International Hot Dog Eating Contest at Coney Island, N.Y. Chestnut will now be able to face off against Kobayashi at the July 4 championship.”These guys’ numbers have just been going up at a tremendous clip,” said contest spokesman Ryan Nerz.

 ”I always thought there was a limit — a limit to the human stomach and a limit to human willpower.

Chestnut admits he will have to strain his body to win at the New York title event. “I’m going to keep pushing my body and maybe I can beat him (Kobayashi),” Chestnut said

 

Chestnut ready to blow in a previous hot dog eating comp…”Bbbluu..”

Judging by the way Kobayashi slams down those dogs, the strain is going to have to be severe.

Knoxville gets sued for genitals in a mousetrap prank.

 

Actor Perry Caravello is suing Jackass star Johnny Knoxville, TV host Jimmy Kimmel and radio personality Adam Corolla for US$10 million. Caravello alledges he was promised money and promotion of a movie if he carried out a stunt that involved putting his genitals in a mousetrap.

The stunt was intended as a promotion for the DVD release of Windy City Heat, in which Carolla, Caravello and Kimmel all appeared.

But the stunt went wrong and Caravello “was severely injured when the trap literally went on his manhood”, according to papers filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court.

“Cameras both hidden and exposed capture the fun and pain when Caravello is inexplicably cast as the star of a supposed film called Windy City Heat, in which he portrays a character named Stone Fury, a hard-boiled Chicago ’sports private eye.’

“It’s all just a complete goof, of course. But the real Caravello doesn’t know that,” said the paper in its October 2003 review of the telemovie.

Caravello is claiming US$10 million over the stunt, plus an extra US$500,000 for humiliation after the stunt-gone-wrong was distributed on the internet.

                                               You’ve gotta ask, is this for real, or just a really tame stunt to boost DVD sales of the movie Windy City Heat? (which was a flop)

Robot to guard school from ‘outsider seduction’

 A robot is to be deployed as a security guard at a South Korean school in what its creators claim is a world first.  

The robot, dubbed OFRO, will be posted at a Seoul middle school to test its potential before going on sale.Makers DU Robo said it could be used to alert staff to attempts by outsiders to seduce students.

“One possible scenario is that OFRO will alert officials when it detects someone trying to seduce a student,” the firm’s CEO Kang Jung-Won said.

Teachers could then either warn the offender through a loudspeaker or send human security guards.The firm claims it is the first time a robot has been used to guard an educational institution.“After going through the feasibility test, we (will) look to commercialise the feature-rich OFRO that retails at around $US100,000 as a school guardian,” said Kang.

OFRO moves at a leisurely maximum of five kph (three mph) and can either patrol pre-programmed routes or be manually controlled. It has a camera and microphone link to teachers or a security firm.

The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds in the UK has banned the word cock from its website. Visitors to the site found that cock had been replaced with asterisks, however the species, tit, remains.

“As bird lovers will know, a Parus Major is a great tit and while cocks do not get past the forum censor, tits do not cause offence. I’ve heard of PC but that is taking things too far,” said one web site user.

 A worker claimed the word had been replaced because of software filters but an RSPB spokesman said it preferred to describe birds as either male or female.

Sexsomnia, happening in a bedroom near you!

      People are still having sex.

You can add sex to the roster of unlikely sleep behaviors known as parasomnias, which range from sleep driving to sleep eating, say psychological health experts.

“Sleepsex” or “sexsomnia” as it is being called occours during partial arousal from deep sleep, when the brain regions devoted to higher thought, judgment and reasoning are shut down, and areas governing more primitive functions (such as locomotion, eating and sex) are still active.

“One man had been initiating intercourse on almost a nightly basis,” says a psychologist about one case of sleepsex. That was apparently fine with his wife, until “one night he started snoring.” In another case, a female sexsomniac routinely groped her husband. Whenever he responded, “she would wake up and accuse him of forcing sex on her while she slept.”

Not all cases of sleepsex are so amusing. Canadian Jan Luedecke had a history of sleepwalking. One night he’d been drinking at a party and found himself sacked out on the couch with a woman he’d met there. Hours later, she jolted him awake and demanded to know what he was doing. Luedecke claimed he was unaware he was having sex with her. “Under the law, if there’s no intent to commit a crime, you haven’t committed a crime,” says Dr. Colin Shapiro, director of the Youthdale Child and Adolescent Sleep Center in Toronto, who testified for the defense. Luedecke was acquitted (to the outrage of women’s organizations in Canada), and the case is now on appeal.

The condition is highly treatable with the generic anti-anxiety drug clonazepam. Seeking help can only work to a sufferer’s advantage. After all, if you’re going to have sex, you might as well enjoy it.

A cup (or 4) of tea a day keeps the doctor away.

 

“Ahh yes, jolly good I say!”

Health researchers in Britain say tea can have positive benifits againsts heart disease and some cancers, as well as being a good drink to re-hydrate.  Polyphenol antioxidants are found in many foods and plants, including tea leaves, and have been shown to help prevent cell damage.

Other health benefits seen included protection against tooth plaque and potentially tooth decay, plus bone strengthening. “Drinking tea is actually better for you than drinking water. Water is essentially replacing fluid. Tea replaces fluids and contains antioxidants so it’s got two things going for it”, said public health nutritionist Dr Carrie Ruxton at Kings College London.

Dr Ruxton’s team found average tea consumption was just under three cups per day. She said the increasing popularity of soft drinks meant many people were not drinking as much tea as before.

“Tea drinking is most common in older people, the 40 plus age range. In older people, tea sometimes made up about 70% of fluid intake so it is a really important contributor,” she said.
