Vulgar Hestkuk Yelling

Norwegian police must tolerate more abuse.

A 34-year-old man from Alta was acquitted this week for calling a police officer a "hestkuk" (horse p***s) after having his drivers license confiscated after a seat belt check, newspaper Finnmark Dagblad reports. A majority of the court again decided that this expression was normal in that part of the country and was in nearly daily use - therefore it should be tolerable. Police have appealed the verdict.

A normal expression that is used daily? Hestkuk this. Hestkuk that.

Snow Angels Hold World Record

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - Legislators waved their arms in a snow-angel salute Wednesday to celebrate North Dakota recapturing a world record for those whimsical works of winter. Guinness World Records has confirmed that the state holds the world record for the most snow angels made simultaneously in one place, said Marilyn Snyder, the education curator for the State Historical Society of North Dakota. "If anybody wants to challenge (the snow angel record), bring 'em on." said state Senator Dick Dever, who sponsored a resolution celebrating the achievement that the Senate approved Wednesday. It now goes to the state House.

8,962 Snow Angels set record in Guinness Book.

BEIJING (Reuters) - The world's tallest man, whose search for a bride covered the world, ended up marrying a woman from his home town nearly half his age and more than two feet shorter, Chinese media reported on Wednesday.

Bao Xishun, 56, a 2.36-metre (7-ft, 9-inch) herdsman listed by Guinness World Records as the tallest living man, married a 29-year-old saleswoman, the Beijing News said. Both come from Chifeng in Inner Mongolia.

"After sending out marriage advertisements across the world and going through a long selection process, the efforts have finally paid off," the newspaper said.

It was the first wedding for Bao and his bride, Xia Shujuan, a mere 1.68 metres (5 ft 6 inches) tall.

Bao reached his height in a seven-year spurt that began in his teens and which doctors have yet to explain, according to Guinness.

After a career in the army, where he was recruited for a basketball team, he returned to Inner Mongolia. He now herds livestock and hires himself out for publicity stunts.

In December, Bao saved the lives of two dolphins by reaching deep into their stomachs with his 1.06-metre (42-inch) long arm to pull out pieces of plastic, according to Chinese media.

15 million gallons of sewage lost.

SAND LAKE, Mich. (AP) -- About 15 million gallons of partially treated sewage water disappeared from a 250,000 square-foot storage lagoon into a sinkhole, but officials don't know where it went after that. "It's an odd case. A sinkhole gobbled up all the water and we don't know where it went... It seems to have just gone down into the earth. "We don't smell anything and we don't see anything."

I feel bad for the sinkhole that "gobbled it up". If you see murky brown tap water coming out of your faucet, you might want to call someone.

Mating Dog Gets Hospitalized

Too much mating puts dog in hospital.

A male dog in Chengdu, Sichuan, had to receive an intravenous drip in hospital after being given Viagra and made to mate with three female dogs on a single day. Wang, the dog's owner, has been very busy since mating season arrived. Her dog is considered handsome, and many owners of female dogs want her dog to sire puppies with their pets. Wang can earn more than 1,000 yuan ($128) per breeding session, so in order to boost her earnings she fed her dog Viagra and made it mate with three female dogs last Sunday. The effort was apparently strenuous enough that the dog had to be taken to hospital.

Wang is one sick owner.
