Lack of Sex will Cost Ya
Beware if the mood has left the marriage, at least in France! A judge in France has ruled that a 51-year-old man must pay his 47-year-old ex-wife damages for failing to fulfill her sexual needs for 21 years.
The Telegraph reports that a man from Nice, in southern France, known in court as Jean-Louis B., must pay his wife 10,000 euros — or $13,965 — to compensate for a “lack of sex over 21 years of marriage.”
The man was fined under section 215 of France’s civil code, which says married couples agree to a “shared communal life.”
He argued he was often tired and had health problems that prevented him from being sexually active with his ex, but the judge decreed: “A sexual relationship between husband and wife is the expression of affection they have for each other, and in this case it was absent.”
The ruling comes two years after a judge deemed the man solely responsible for the couple’s divorce because of his refusal to have sex with his wife.

This Guy is a Total Jerk Off
In more ways than one!
A judge ordered a California man — convicted for ejaculating into a co-worker’s water bottles — to pay more than $27,000 to his victim.
Superior Court Judge Walter Schwarm said Monday Michael Kevin Lallana, of Fullerton, Calif., must pay restitution for therapy and loss of wages, reports the Orange County Register.
Lallana was sentenced to 180 days behind bars after he was convicted of twice putting semen in his co-worker’s water bottle without her knowledge at a Newport Beach, Calif., financial company last year.
The victim sent the water bottle in for testing because it tasted strange, and the water was found to contain semen.
The jury found Lallana, 32, committed the acts for sexual gratification.
He should be committed to a freak’in hospital!

Dude Looks Pretty Good for Being 500 Years Old
The arrest of an American man who broke into a woman’s house and tried to suck her blood over the weekend has sparked discussion about the impact of vampire books and movies on U.S. youth culture.
Whether pop culture played a role in the attack remains to be seen, as 19-year-old Lyle Monroe Bensley awaits a psychiatric evaluation in jail on burglary charges in Galveston, Texas.
Found growling and hissing in a parking lot and wearing only boxer shorts, the pierced and tattooed Bensley claimed he was a 500-year-old vampire who needed to “feed,” Galveston Police Capt. Jeff Heyse said.
Vampires have been a focal point of literature since Bram Stoker’s 1897 novel, “Dracula”. But fascination, particularly among young people, has peaked in recent years with the popularity of the “Twilight” books about teenage vampires and the television series, “True Blood.”
Just a screw-ball in my humble opinion.

Yum, Jello with Human DNA
This is pretty gross! I really never knew where gelatin came from but this is just too much! Gelatin is found in everything from Jell-O and marshmallows to cosmetics and candles. But the current method of taking gelatin from the skin and bones of cows and pigs has a number of drawbacks, including variation in quality from batch to batch, the potential for transmitting infectious diseases like Mad Cow and the possibility of triggering immune system responses in humans. We may not have to rely on pig bones for gelatin forever, though the newest option–human derived gelatin–isn’t too appetizing.

Twitter Handy in Outing Cheating Wife
Social media is handy in many ways! Some men use Twitter to have an affair. One man used it to expose an affair – his wife’s.
Ian Puddick, of London, England, was cleared Friday of harassing his wife’s lover on the Internet by tweeting and blogging details of the dalliance.
“It is absolutely a victory for free speech,” Puddick told the British press after charges against him were dismissed following a three-day trial.
As reported by the U.K. Guardian, Puddick learned of his wife Leena’s 10-year affair with Timothy Haynes when he read a text message on her phone. He then set up several websites and used Twitter to broadcast the racy texts the pair had exchanged.
One message read, “Where do you want to have sex next? The office, al fresco, the flat or all three you greedy girl?”
Haynes claimed Puddick also contacted clients, colleagues and neighbours of his, and said the publicity forced him to leave his job at a financial firm in May 2010.
The Puddicks are back together, as are Haynes and his wife.

Golfers on their A Game
I am against performance enhancing drugs, even in golf! Seven people were sent to hospital after eating marijuana-laced brownies at a golf course.
Police said an employee of the golf course brought brownies made with marijuana to work Thursday and shared the batch with co-workers, who didn’t know the brownies were laced.
The golf course was shut down after seven employees were taken to Woodstock General Hospital following complaints of feeling dizzy and disoriented. The employees were treated and released.
A 19-year-old Woodstock man is charged with administering a noxious substance, possession of a controlled substance and breach of probation.

Dirty, Dirty Old Man
This guy is disgusting! Police in Boulder, Colorado, are searching for a man who hid inside a portable toilet at a yoga festival.
A woman went to use the portable toilet Friday and told police she noticed something moving inside the tank when she lifted the lid. She believed there was a person inside the toilet, so she went to get help.
A man who was standing nearby went in to check and he also saw someone inside the tank, seemingly covered by a tarp. He told security, and then heard the door lock from the inside.
“A festival security supervisor waited outside for several minutes and then saw a suspect emerge from the portable toilet,” police said in a release. “The supervisor tried to detain the suspect, but he ran away, covered in feces.”
The suspect was described as about 20 years old, white, very tall, thin and was wearing dark gray sweatpants and no shirt or shoes.
Witnesses told police the suspect had several cuts on his back and legs. The suspect was also wearing leather bracelets on each wrist.
Police believe the suspect may be a transient.

Dog is a Millionare 12 Times Over
Come here doggie, doggie…
A very rich dog, which inherited $12 million from U.S. hotelier Leona Helmsley, has died, a spokeswoman for the deceased hotel mogul’s trust said Thursday.
Helmsley, who owned the Helmsley hotel chain, left $12 million in her will to care for her beloved Maltese named Trouble when she died in 2007. A judge reduced the amount to $2 million.
Though Trouble’s death is just now being reported, the dog actually died in December at the age of 12, said Eileen Sullivan, spokeswoman for the Helmsley Charitable Trust.
“She was cremated and her remains are being privately retained. The funds held in trust for her care have reverted to the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust for charitable purposes,” Sullivan said in a statement.
Harry Helmsley was Leona’s late husband.
Sullivan refused to give any other details about Trouble. The New York Daily News newspaper said the dog had been cared for by the manager of the Helmsley Sandcastle Hotel in Sarasota, Florida.
Leona Helmsley was known as “the queen of mean” for the way she treated hotel employees. She served 18 months in prison for tax evasion in the 1990s.

Senior Citizen Uses HIV Status to Rob Bank
A woman robbed a Colorado bank by passing her official HIV status card from a local clinic and a note saying she would infect a teller with AIDS if the clerk didn’t hand over money, police said on Friday.
Jeff Satur, spokesman for the Longmont, Colorado police department, said detectives are searching for a pale woman between the ages of 55 and 75 with a “boney build.” Although she blacked out her name from the status card the teller did so most of the letter and they are investigating wit the local clinics help.
Satur said a woman, who was wearing a train conductor’s cap and a gray sweat shirt, walked into a Wells Fargo bank inside a Safeway grocery store on Thursday night and handed a note to a teller.
“She indicated she had AIDS and would give it to a teller if she didn’t cooperate,” Satur said.
The woman coughed frequently into a blue bandana during the robbery, and fled with an undisclosed amount of cash, Satur said.
Police and the FBI released still photographs of the robbery and are reviewing additional photographs and surveillance video from the bank’s parking lot to try and identify the suspect.
She is described as about 5-feet 6 inches tall, and weighing between 130 and 150 pounds.
No weapon was displayed during the robbery and no one was injured, police said.

Woman Gets Friends Tattooed on Her Arm
One nutty woman now has an arm-y of Facebook friends…
The social network fan has had all her online pals’ profile pics tattooed on her limb.
She filmed herself getting the 152 prints and posted the clip on YouTube. The unnamed Dutch woman, who goes by the username susyj87, said: “Pretty amazing, right? I’m really proud of it. Hope you like it.”
But one YouTube user posted: “What if someone changes their profile pic?” And let’s hope she doesn’t fall out with anyone.

Buy a Kid on Kijiiji?
This kid must really hate his sister!
A 16-year-old Ontario boy was given a stern warning by police for posting an online ad that offered two children for sale.
Chatham-Kent police said the ad included photos and stated that the kids had to be gone in a week or they’d be put on the streets.
A concerned citizen called police at about 9:30 p.m., Thursday night.
Police tracked down the teen, who admitted to posting it as a joke.
Investigators confirmed no children were at risk and he was warned about his actions.
Chatham is about 75 km east of Windsor, Ont.

Terrorists Learn to Bake
British spies hacked into an al-Qaida website to replace instructions on how to build a bomb with recipes for making cupcakes, newspapers reported on Friday.
The cyber offensive took place last year when the English language magazine called Inspire, aimed at Muslims in the West, was launched by supporters of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).
British intelligence officers based at the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), the state eavesdropping service, attacked the 67-page magazine, leaving most of it garbled, British newspapers said.
Instead of being able to read how to “Make a Bomb in the Kitchen of Your Mom,” readers were greeted with computer code which actually contained recipes from The Best Cupcakes in America, published by U.S. chat show host Ellen DeGeneres.
The Washington Post reported that the British action followed a dispute between the CIA and the newly formed U.S. Cyber Command. Next they need to teach them how to fry bacon!

You are a Bad Tweeter!
A Malaysia man has agreed to tweet an apology 100 times over three days after slandering a publishing company on the social media service.
Fahmi Fadzil (@fahmi_fadzil), who describes himself as a performer and writer on his Twitter bio, is doling out the contrite tweets at about one an hour. As of Thursday morning, he was at 25.
The apology, which Fadzil told QMI Agency was the result of “an out-of-court settlement, mutually agreed by both parties,” reads: “I’ve DEFAMED Blu Inc Media & Female Magazine. My tweets on their HR Policies are untrue. I retract those words & hereby apologize.”
The unusual penalty comes as a result of a tweet he wrote in January claiming a friend of his had been treated poorly by her employer, publisher BluInc Media.
As reported by the Associated Press, Fadzil tweeted an apology shortly afterward, but the company’s lawyers sent him a letter and began legal proceedings.
Twitter is increasingly being cited in contentious cases between companies and employees, as Sportsnet host Damian Goddard discovered when he was fired over one of his tweets in May.
Fadzil has more than 4,500 followers and seems to be enjoying his new-found fame, cheerily replying to questions and suggesting curious tweeters do a Google News search on him. He hosts The Fairly Current Show – a Malaysian current affairs program on the web.
According to a tweet he posted Thursday, he expects to post his last apology around 6:45 p.m. Saturday.

Stuffed Tiger Determined to Not be a Threat
Zoo workers prepared tranquiler darts and a thermal imaging helicopter was dispatched amid reports of a white tiger on the loose near an England golf course.
But there was just one problem — it turned out to be a stuffed animal.
Police have launched an investigation into the potential hoax that sent golfers and cricket players scrambling in Hampshire Saturday afternoon.
As the helicopter neared what was first reported to be a dangerous animal in the grassy field, it detected no heat and the stuffy blew over with a gust.
On Saturday, Sussex Police helicopter officials tweeted, “Tiger seen near golf course, concerns for members of the public!”
Then later, another tweet: “Initially there was great concern for the public that a tiger had escaped the local zoo, luckily, it wasn’t real.”

Scary Student
A 13-year-old Florida boy is accused of putting a prescription drug into his teacher’s coffee to get back at her for yelling at him.
Police in Osceola County, Fla., say the school resource officer at Discovery Intermediate School was informed Thursday of rumours that a student had attempted to poison a teacher on Monday.
Police interviewed the boy, who they said admitted that he put one of his prescription Clonidine pills into the teacher’s drink because she yelled at him in class.
Clonidine is often used to treat high blood pressure. It decreases the body’s heart rate and relaxes the blood vessels so blood can flow more easily through the body.
The boy told police he takes the drug to go to sleep.
On Monday, the teacher went home sick, telling two colleagues before she left that she felt nauseous, dizzy and drowsy.
The boy is charged with poison of food with the intent to injure.
Wow, as if teachers in the USA didn’t have enough to worry about already.

Aww, I Really Like Like….
An Israeli couple has taken their love of Facebook to a new extreme: they have named their third child Like, in honour of the button on the social networking site that allows users to express their approval of someone else’s online actions.
Lior and Vardit Adler, who live in Hod Hasharon, told German press agency DPA that giving their children uncommon names is something they like to do.
Their other two children are called Dvash, which means honey in Hebrew, and Pie.
“If once people gave biblical names and that was the icon, then today this is one of the most famous icons in the world,” Lior Adler told DPA.
At least they did not name them status!

Pay for Booze with an IOU
An Alberta woman who police say is under a court order not to consume alcohol allegedly ordered alcohol and other items from a delivery service and gave the deliveryman an IOU instead of money.
Police in Camrose say a 47-year-old woman placed her order Tuesday night. When the deliveryman arrived, the woman took her items inside and closed the door, police said. After the deliveryman knocked several times, the woman returned and handed him a written note that said she’d pay later, police said.
The driver went to the police station to report it and during their investigation, officers discovered the woman is under a court order to not possess, purchase or consume alcohol.
Police are investigating.
Only in the Great White North, eh?

Kids Wants Longer Jail Term to Hang with Stepdad
I smell a lifer here. A teen criminal asked to be sentenced to more than the six months recommended by his lawyer and the crown so he could spend extra time with his cellmate – his stepfather.
The defence lawyer for Justin Beynen, 18, and an assistant Crown attorney were asking a Sudbury judge Thursday for a six-month term for a string of convictions.
But Beynen wanted more time in jail so he could spend it with his cellmate and stepfather, Jason Hastings.
Beynen explained to Ontario Court Justice Normand Glaude he has nowhere to stay when he gets out of jail until Hastings is released in October.
Beynen was hoping for a nine-month sentence so they could stay remain cellmates.
Glaude said the courts are not a social agency, but sentenced the teen to the requested nine-month term after hearing the facts of the case.
Beynen pleaded guilty Thursday to two counts of breach of probation, dangerous driving, failing to stop for police, theft of a vehicle, possession of marijuana for the purpose of trafficking and driving without a licence.
Beynen was spotted by police April 4 driving at high speeds through a neighbourhood, hitting a no parking sign and three parked vehicles before finally stopping, assistant Crown attorney Len Walker said.
Police found 17 grams of marijuana, a knife and six cans of beer inside the vehicle, which had been stolen, Walker said.
Beynen was on a probation at the time and prohibited from having knives. He also didn’t have a driver’s licence and wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, Walker said.
The other breach of probation charge was for repeatedly missing appointments with his probation officer during March, court heard.
Court was told Beynen’s mother is a drug addict and his biological father was shot and killed when Beynen was a child. Beynen has been in custody since his April 4 arrest and sharing a cell with his stepfather.

Hot Chicks Dig Aligators?
This guy is a few light bulbs short! Police in Illinois have seized an alligator from a man who was keeping the animal as a pet to attract women.
The Cook County Sheriff’s Office officials said they received information a man was keeping an American alligator in confined conditions in his home. Police located the four-foot alligator in a fish tank in the kitchen. A video of the alligator showed it swimming in the tank, which was under a heatlamp.
The man told police he bought the alligator in Indiana, Ill., five years ago for $200.
“He stated that he kept the alligator as a pet because it attracted women,” police said in a release. “In order to keep the size of the alligator down, Yarbrough kept it in a small tank, and only fed it once a month – a meal of 10 live mice.”
Police said American alligators traditionally average between eight and 14 feet in length.
The animal is now being cared for by a Chicago animal welfare group.

Dumb Kid – Roof Hopping
Kids, don’t try this at home – not even in an attempt to get into your home.
A 19-year-old Ontario man survived a seven-metre fall after trying to jump from the roof of an apartment building to his own building next door after he realized he had forgotten his keys.
Police said the man was returning from visiting a friend at 3 a.m. Saturday when he made the unwise choice to leap to the gap to his building.
His injuries were not considered life-threatening. Nice move dude!

Where do you Pawn Bees?
What kind of weirdo would still black bees? Yes I am talking about those flying, buzzing, stinging things.
Several thousand bees that were part a multi-million pound neuroscience research project have been stolen from a British university.
Police in the Scottish region of Tayside were appealing for information on Tuesday after four bee hives containing several thousand British black bees were stolen from a medical school in the city of Dundee.
“This theft will undoubtedly hamper our research,” said Dr Chris Connolly, the lead researcher on the Dundee project, who reported the bees missing on Sunday.
In a statement he described the bees as “very unique” and said they should be easy to identify if they are sold on.
The hives are a part of a 2 million pound ($3.3 million) project at the Centre for Neurosciences at the Dundee University’s medical school which is investigating the potential effect of pesticides on bee learning and health.
Police said there were keen to trace a white van and two men that were seen in the area at around 0900 GMT on May 8.

Creepy Weird Internet Kissing
Now this is pretty creepy! A Japanese lab has created a device that may let let you “French kiss” someone over the Internet.
And by “kiss,” we mean waggle your tongue on a plastic straw, thereby making another plastic straw waggle remotely on someone else’s tongue.
Hot, huh?
Well, the folks at Tokyo’s Kajimoto Laboratory say it’s just the beginning of what could become a full-on person-to-person experience over the Internet.
The lab, part of The University of Electro-Communications, posted a video in which a researcher demonstrates the “Kiss Transmission Device.” It’s a motorized box that looks a little like a police Breathalyzer.

Sad Sign of the Times
According to Yahoo, searches for “Osama bin Laden” spiked by nearly 100% on Sunday, with 25% of those searches coming from people under 24.
The spike came after U.S. President Barack Obama announced that U.S. forces had killed the al-Qaida leader, who masterminded the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks against the U.S.
The fifth most popular related search was “Who is Osama bin Laden?” Teens between 13 and 17 made up 66% of that search.
Maybe this is just the logical search to find out more about him beyond 9/11?

Scary Warlock Rapist
This story made me shiver, this guy is creepy and sick!
A U.K. court heard Thursday that a gravedigger tricked girls into having sex with him by claiming he was a warlock who could grant them special powers.
Jurors heard that William Lambert, 74, lured girls to his church shed and raped one of them on a gravestone, British newspaper the Mirror reported.
The church shed was decorated in a mystical theme, and Lambert would light incense and hang a red sheet above the girls’ waists so they couldn’t see what he was doing, court heard.
“These young, vulnerable, impressionable girls were looking for attention and they were spellbound by his extraordinary claims about a spiritual world,” the Mirror reported prosecutor Gillian Etherton said. “He persuaded them he could give them special powers by way of sexual intercourse.”
Lambert faces four charges of rape and three of sexual assault in connection with the alleged rape and sexual assault of four girls between the ages of 11 and 15 in the 1980s.

Politically Correct Easter
A Seattle teen volunteering in a Grade 3 classroom says she wanted to put treats together for the children for Easter, but was told she’d have to call the eggs “spring spheres.”
“At the end of the week, I had an idea that I wanted to fill a little plastic egg with treats and jelly beans and other candy,” Jessica, 16, told KIRO Radio. She was in the classroom as part of a week-long volunteering project through her private school.
She said the Easter eggs were meant as a parting gift after she was done.
“I was kind of unsure how the teacher would feel about that,” Jessica said, adding there were different cultures at the school and she wanted to clear it first. The teacher asked administration.
“She said that I could do it as long as I called the treat ‘spring spheres.’” she said. “I couldn’t call them Easter eggs.”
Jessica said she thought it was “ridiculous” but she still passed out the eggs to the students.
Seattle Schools issued a statement on its website saying they have received “numerous questions.”
“We have a religion and religious accommodation policy, approved by the school board in 1983, stating that ‘no religious belief or non-belief should be promoted by the school district or its employees, and none should be disparaged,’” the statement said. My vote goes for; round sorta thingies.

Where do the Penguins Roam?
The majority of Canadians believe those living in the North live in igloos and penguins may live in the Arctic, a new survey has found.
Up Here magazine, which is based in Yellowknife, NWT., surveyed 303 Canadians in February and found knowledge about the north is low.
The results -were shocking and hilarious.,” the magazine’s editor, Katharine Sandiford, said in a release.
The survey found 69% of Canadians believe northerners live in igloos, while 38% didn’t know the term Inuit has replaced Eskimo.
As well, 28% of those surveyed said penguins live in the Arctic, while 46% said they were unsure, meaning just 25% of Canadians know it’s not true.
Magazine staff came up with the survey – called the North Poll – because they said northerners were tired of correcting friends and relatives in the south about their lives and community.
“We came up with the North Poll to get a sense (of) how widespread the misconceptions really were,” Sandiford said. “The results only confirm our suspicious. They were shameful.”
I think I read a survey that say folks in the USA think igloos and penguins are in Canada, so touche!

I Feel Sad Enough to Eat Myself
A New Zealand man struggling with depression cut off his own finger, cooked it with vegetables and ate it, doctors reported in the latest issue of medical journal Australasian Psychiatry.
It’s only the eighth identified case of self-cannibalization, and is particularly rare because of the patient’s lack of severe psychosis, the article abstract says.
The patient, a 28-year-old man, amputated and ate the finger without any evidence of impaired reality testing or substance abuse.
“Mr. X,” as he was referred to in the report by forensic psychiatrist Erik Monasterio and clinical psychologist Craig Prince, suffered from bouts of low mood, and sometimes thought of suicide, the New Zealand Herald reported, citing the report.
Once while depressed, he was attacked by two men, and fantasized about killing his assailants and eating them, the report said.
“He believed that by doing so, he would ‘rob them of everything.’”
In late 2008 after “another personal crisis,” Mr. X went into a state of depression.
“He experienced significant insomnia and suicidal ideation, and ruminated for days about cutting off his fingers,” the report says. “In an effort to seek reprieve from these thoughts, he tied a shoelace around his [little] finger to act as a tourniquet and cut the finger off with a jig saw.
“He then cooked it in a pan with some vegetables and ate its flesh. His plan was to amputate another two fingers the following day.”
Although the patient told doctors he was initially excited, in a non-sexual way, and experienced relief from his ruminations, he decided not to cut off any more fingers because of “the instantaneous benefit.”
The man later regretted the act — his first act of self-harm — “because of its debilitating effect.” I find it hard to believe that depression is this guys only problem. I have felt down many times but never ate any of my body parts.

That Bullet Gives Me a Headache
Can you say pass the ADVIL!! A Chinese man has had a bullet removed from his head after being shot 23 years ago.
Wang Tianqing, who lives in the northern province of Hebei, said he was walking home from work in 1988 when he was hit in the head by what he thought was a slingshot, the U.K. Telegraph reported.
He started to have epileptic seizures.
“At first, the convulsion only happened once a month, but later it was two or three times a day,” he told a local television station.
Wang Zhiming, a neurosurgeon, said since the skull was very solid, it was able to slow down the bullet’s speed of penetration.
“If the bullet had hit with greater force and to the right, Wang would have died,” he said.
The two-centimetre rusted bullet was removed recently at a local hospital.

Teen Gives Her Parents a Scare
OK, her parents were supposedly in on it but still…. a Grade 11 student shocked her classmates after she revealed she had faked a pregnancy for a school project.
During a school assembly in Toppenish, Wash., Wednesday, Gaby Rodriguez pulled a fake bulge from under her shirt, to reveal she really wasn’t six-months pregnant, reported the Yakima Herald-Republic newspaper.
Since October, the 17-year-old Toppenish High School student lied to friends, teachers and even most of her family, to discover how teen pregnancies brew stereotypes and rumours.
Rodriguez wore baggy sweaters to conceal her faux-tummy and later, a prosthetic belly. Her supposed due date was shortly after graduation, July 27.
Only a few people, such as her mother, boyfriend and principal, knew of the A-student’s secret.
Her project, titled, “Stereotypes, rumours and statistics,” revealed things people said about her during her fake pregnancy.
Rodriguez’ best friend, Saida Cortes, read one of many quotes previously said: “Her attitude is changing, and it might be because of the baby, or she was always this annoying and I never realized it.”
Trevor Greene, school principal, said he admired her courage for conducting the social experiment.
“In essence, she gave up her senior year. She sacrificed her senior year to find out what it would be like to be a potential teen mom. I give her mother a lot of credit for backing her up on this,” Greene said.
Rodriguez will present her findings to a board of community members next month.

Smell Like a Rotting Corpse
It is that time again folks! Get ready to plug your nose!
A giant, rotting-flesh-scented flower was expected to draw 10,000 people to a Swiss garden to watch it bloom for the first time in nearly 20 years.
The nearly two-metre Amorphophallus titanum flower opened its giant petals Friday evening at Basel Botanical Gardens in Basel, Switzerland.
It has been 75 years since a plant of this variety has bloomed in Switzerland.
The bloom of the so-called “corpse flower” – coined for its foul smell to attract insects for pollination – is expected to last just a day or two until it wilts Saturday night or Sunday.
Just 134 of the cultivated flowers, native to Indonesia, have ever bloomed worldwide.
More than 100,000 have tuned in to an online webcam to witness the rare occurrence.

How to Waste Five Grand
Want to hang our with a cabby for a week? It cost $5,000 and took nearly a week for a pair of friends to take a cab from New York City to Los Angeles.
Stops were made along the way, such as at the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas, where passengers John Belitsky and Dan Wuebben won $2,000 at a casino.
The pair also made their cabbie’s day by waking Mohammed Alam up “with a shower of $100 bills,” Belitsky tweeted.
The nearly 4,000 km journey in the yellow cab was documented on Twitter and on video posted to YouTube.
They arrived in Los Angeles on Friday, six days after they hailed the cab at New York’s LaGuardia Airport.
Belitsky said Alam will have company for the long trip back to New York, but he doesn’t know how he and Wuebben will return.
At the end of the trip, Belitsky tweeted, “I’ve decided I’m never paying for a cab again. I think renting a porche for the week and driving themselves would have been more fun!

No ID Required to Drink at Olive Garden
As long as you are over one year of age you should be good to go for an alcoholic beverage at the Olive Garden!
An Oregon mailman has been suspended for making an unwanted delivery.
The postman was captured on camera by a Portland homeowner as he defecated in a yard near some bushes Wednesday while on his postal route, KGW-TV reported.
Don Derfler saw the shocking act through his living room window.
“He started pulling his pants down and started defecating, and at that point I grabbed my camera and started to take pictures,” Derfler told the local news station.
He was baffled by the incident.
“This is how they respect our property?” he said. “It’s just not right, and it’s also a biohazard.”
U.S. Postal Service officials apologized to the public, and suspended the mailman without pay pending an investigation.

Coin Rebuilding Scheme Cracked
Here is a creative way of committing fraud!
An airline stewardess struggling to lift her bag at a German airport led to the discovery of a 6-million euro ($8.4 million) coin fraud.
The customs officer who stopped the stewardess in early 2010 found thousands of one and two euro coins in her bag, Bild newspaper reported in its Thursday edition.
The incident sparked an investigation that has uncovered a forgery ring stretching to China and potentially implicating employees of German airline Lufthansa, the paper said.
The Frankfurt prosecutors’ office said on Thursday it carried out dawn raids on offices and residences and arrested six people, four of whom are from China.
It suspects them of having smuggled coins that had been taken out of circulation or bits of those coins into Germany from China, where they had been sent as scrap metal.
The suspects then put the coins back together and exchanged them for a total of 6 million euros at the Bundesbank from 2007 to 2010, the prosecutors said.
Airline cabin crew do not have a weight limit on their baggage, prosecutors highlighted in a statement.
There was no suspicion of any wrongdoing on the part of Bundesbank employees, the prosecutors’ office added.
The Bundesbank said in a statement it was aware of the investigation into the use of scrapped coins. It also said that no Bundesbank employees were subject to the investigation.
A Lufthansa spokesman on Thursday said it was aware that individual employees were under investigation, but said the group could not comment on the investigation.
Old euro coins are taken out of circulation by removing the inner part of the coin from an outer ring and thus effectively turning them into scrap metal.
The investigators recovered around 3 tonnes of coin pieces as well as a machine for putting them back together, prosecutors said in the statement.
The Bundesbank is the only institute in Europe that exchanges damaged euro coins for free, replacing them with new ones of the same value. People will think of anything to make an easy buck!

Statue Need Breast Reduction
The mayor of a town in France has thrown a patriotic female statue out of his town hall because its breasts were too big, his aides said on Friday.
The terracotta bust of Marianne — the traditional female embodiment of the French Republic in a Phrygian cap — was an original work by a local artist, installed in 2007 at the town hall in Neuville-en-Ferrain, population 10,000.
“It was making people gossip,” said one town hall employee who asked not to be named. “Remarks were made, during weddings for example.”
Mayor Gerard Cordon persuaded councillors to approve 900 euros (1,280 dollars) in this year’s budget to buy a replacement, a more conventional bust of Marianne modelled on the statuesque French model Laetitia Casta.
The artist who made the rejected bust, Catherine Lamacque, said she gave it outsized breasts deliberately, “to symbolise the generosity of the Republic.”
The town hall bought her terracotta statue in 2007 for 1,400 euros. I wonder if they will settle on a breast reduction?

Schools in Paris will stink! -
Paris wants green sources to fuel 30 percent of its energy needs by 2020 and a new heating project at a primary school is the city’s first using power from sewers. The technology takes advantage of the warm waste water flowing into the sewers from showers, dishwashers and washing machines. A steel plate containing heat-conveying fluid is submerged in the waste and feeds a heat exchanger pump — in this case located in the school’s cellar — which circulates heat through an existing network of radiators.
