#10 :: Post by JK on September 02 2008 00:11:42 Police say a man tried to cut off his own arm at a restaurant in Modesto, Calif., because he thought he had injected air into a vein while shooting cocaine and feared he would die unless he took drastic action. Authorities say 33-year-old Michael Lasiter rushed into the Denny's restaurant late Friday and started stabbing himself in one arm with a butter knife he grabbed from a table. They say that when that knife didn't work Lasiter took a butcher knife from the kitchen and dug it into his arm. Police Sgt. Brian Findlen says Lasiter told officers he thought he needed to amputate his arm to keep himself from dying from the cocaine injection. Lasiter was taken to a hospital for treatment of severe cuts. The Denny's closed for the night. Send PMMSNAIMWebsite	JK Regular Bass Abuser Posts: 333 Joined: 10.10.07 Location: St. Catharines

#11 :: Post by JK on September 06 2008 20:10:53 if you cant tell... i love weird news stories lol this has gotta be one of the funniest in a while.... LONDON (Reuters) - A British MP trekking in Colombia was held at gunpoint in the jungle and forced to eat coffee whitener from a jar in his backpack after soldiers mistook it for cocaine. ADVERTISEMENT Michael Fabricant was on a walking holiday in South America with a friend when they were stopped by a group of gun-toting men in camouflage uniforms. The soldiers found a container full of coffee whitener in their bags and immediately suspected it was drugs. "In order to demonstrate that it wasn't cocaine, I had to take a whole pile of it and throw it down my throat," the Conservative member for Lichfield in Staffordshire told BBC television. "They waited a few minutes to see whether I collapsed or went delirious and said something completely ridiculous like 'Gordon Brown's got a great personality'. "Because I didn't say anything too weird, they came to the conclusion that it wasn't the case and they let me go." His explanation for putting powdered whitener in Colombian coffee, regarded as among the best in the world, will be familiar to many Brits abroad. "You have to be a little bit careful about what you eat," he said. Send PMMSNAIMWebsite	JK Regular Bass Abuser Posts: 333 Joined: 10.10.07 Location: St. Catharines

#12 :: Post by Eternal Quest on September 10 2008 09:27:32 http://news.bbc.c...607460.stm A minister in DR Congo has ordered a Kinshasa jail to release a dozen goats, which he said they were being held there illegally. Deputy Justice Minister Claude Nyamugabo said he found the goats just in time during a routine jail visit. The beasts were due to appear in court, charged with being sold illegally by the roadside. The minister said many police had serious gaps in their knowledge and they would be sent for retraining. Mr Nyamugabo was conducting a routine visit to the prison when, he said, he was astonished to discover not only humans, but a herd of goats crammed into a prison cell in the capital. He has blamed the police for the incident. It is not clear what will happen to their owners of the goats, who have also been imprisoned. BBC Africa analyst Mary Harper says that given the grim state of prisons in Congo, the goats will doubtless be relieved about being spared a trial. There was no word on what their punishment would have been, had they been found guilty. Send PM	Eternal Quest Regular Bass Abuser Posts: 835 Joined: 10.10.07 Location: UK

#14 :: Post by JK on October 17 2008 04:12:19 Think you play too much World of Warcraft? Compared to "Prepared," you don't. In a case of game addiction gone officially bananas, gaming blog Joystiq reports on what is surely the biggest Warcraft fan of them all. Known only under the moniker "Prepared," the gamer plays a stunning 36 World of Warcraft accounts on 11 different computers...simultaneously. Stemming from a desire to manage raids -- large-scale gameplay sessions that typically require the teamwork of multiple players -- all by himself, the die-hard gamer seems undaunted by both the financial and lifestyle commitments to such a geeky endeavor. SEE PICS OF HIS SETUP WATCH WRATH OF THE LICH KING TRAILER "It costs me exactly $5711 in subscription costs per year with 36 accounts on the 6 month pay schedule," he writes. "Not bad considering I'm looking at it like it's a hobby and there are more expensive hobbies out there than World of Warcraft." Like yachting, perhaps. And despite the downturn in the economy, Prepared can't wait to get his hands on the upcoming Warcraft expansion, Wrath of the Lich King. "I plan to be at the store when it opens and will purchase 36 copies of it. With tax, it should be about $1500 for all of them." Word of Prepared's over-the-top addiction comes on the heels of the annual Blizzcon Convention, a fan-oriented celebration of the games created by Warcraft publisher Blizzard.

#15 :: Post by JK on October 17 2008 04:13:44 LONDON (Reuters) - A man discovered making kebabs near a corpse has been banned from managing food businesses and fined 3,800 pounds, Wolverhampton City Council said Tuesday. ADVERTISEMENT Jaswinder Singh, 45, was found by police making kebabs at Pappu Sweet Center and Catering in Wolverhampton in August in a kitchen where a dead man was lying on a sofa. As well the corpse, the policeman discovered another man smoking and spitting repeatedly on the floor, while in a room near the kitchen, a defrosting chicken, oozing blood and juices, was covered with flies. Environmental health officers had visited the shop over a number of months previously where they had warned Singh to improve his food hygiene standards after finding rat droppings as well as a dead rat beneath a pot. "We were called to reports of a sudden death," said West Midlands Police spokeswoman Joanne Hunt. "A post mortem was carried out, but found the death was not suspicious, so the matter was referred to the coroner." Wolverhampton's city council's chief environmental services officer Nick Edwards said: "The council will not tolerate those who put the public at risk by preparing food in insanitary conditions. "We are pleased that the council's actions have resulted in the courts banning this individual from ever running a food business again Send PMMSNAIMWebsite	JK Regular Bass Abuser Posts: 333 Joined: 10.10.07 Location: St. Catharines

#19 :: Post by JK on January 08 2009 00:54:09 SYDNEY (Reuters) - An Australian man broke into three adult shops, had sex with blow up dolls named "Jungle Jane" and then dumped his plastic conquests in a nearby alley, local media reported Wednesday. ADVERTISEMENT "It's totally bizarre. It's a real concern that someone like that is out on the street," said one of the owners of the adult sex shops in Cairns in northern Queensland state. "He has been taking the dolls out the back and blowing them up and using the dolls and leaving them in the alley," the owner, who gave the name of Vogue, told the Cairns Post newspaper. Police told the Cairns Post that scientific officers had taken DNA samples, fingerprints and pictures of the crime scene.
