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.
Whose brilliant idea was this?

World's Tallest Man Gets Hitched

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.
Where Art Thou Sewage?

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.
Wang is one sick owner.
| 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. |

Iraq vs. Detroit - The Showdown
Parts of Iraq are no more dangerous than Detroit says Congressman.
Well that's comforting, I'm sure whether to feel good for Iraq or bad for Detroit.
During an interview Monday with WILS-AM, Rep. Tim Walberg said the returning troops he has talked with "indicate to me that 80 to 85 percent, in a conservative fashion, of the country is reasonably under control, at least as well as Detroit or Chicago or any of our other big cities. That's an encouraging sign."
Well that's comforting, I'm sure whether to feel good for Iraq or bad for Detroit.
Hawaiian Pizza Head
Man with Ham and Pineapple Pizza Tattooed on his HEAD. That looks pretty good, almost as good as Cat Man. Yes that guy is real.
The tattoo took three hours to complete and features three types of ham, chunks of pineapple and long strands of cheese dripping down Mr Helsby's neck.
He said: "I'm really pleased with it, and I'll keep my head shaved at the back for a few weeks to show it off."

Musical Genius
Listening to music makes you smart
Scientists have uncovered the first concrete evidence that playing music can significantly enhance the brain and sharpen hearing for all kinds of sounds, including speech.
"Experience with music appears to help with many other things in life, potentially transferring to activities like reading or picking up nuances in tones of voices or hearing sounds in a noisy classroom better," researcher Nina Kraus, a neuroscientist at Northwestern University, told LiveScience.
Scout Makes Beef Jerky
Missing Boy Scout found
If you ever get lost in the woods: bring Pringles, a mess kit, hunker down in a warm place, and make Dad think you are making beef jerky somewhere.
“Nothing was going on. He was in good spirits,” Auberry said. “He ate lunch, chatting with the boys. He was walking around with I think some Pringles and a mess kit. The next moment, sounds like a blink of the eye, he was gone.”
“They do a great job in the scouts of educating the kids of what to beware of and tips. I’m hopeful that Michael has taken those to heart,” he said. “I hope he’s hunkered down. I hope he’s found a warm place.”
“I think he’s got some of that book in his mind,” Auberry said. “In my fantasy, when they find him, he’ll be making beef jerky somewhere or something like that. He’s got a lot of resources to draw from.”

Enron Humor
Kenneth Lay's Children Inherit 4,000 Pensions. Funny and probably well-deserved.
"Dad would take us down to the Enron office, and he would show us all the happy, hardworking people there," Mark Lay said. "He would tell us, 'Kids, one day, everything these people have will be yours.'"
"One year, [Lay's stepson] Beau made the Dean's List, and Dad was so proud, he gave him someone's liquidated health care plan," Mark Lay said. "And another time, out of the blue, he came home with 340 dental packages in his arms. He gave them out like candy. Even the dog got one. He was such a thoughtful, kind man."
Fake Name Gets Man Jailed

Almost Cold German Rabbit Stew
Beagle rescued from a mountain ledge in Tennessee.
Highlights:
The cheer went something like "ha ha, you are stuck on a mountain ledge you L-O-S-E-R dog named after German rabbit stew," in some sort of cheerleader chanting.
Highlights:
"A group of cheerleaders from Heritage High School had camped across the highway the night before and complained they couldn't get any sleep because of the dog's howls.
After watching the rescue, they did what cheerleaders do. They cheered."
"The dog's name is Hass, short for Hasenfeffer, a German rabbit stew."

Those Crazy, Sleepy, Russians!
Russian survives snooze on train track
source: stunning-stuff.com
A Russian man who fell asleep between train tracks failed to wake up when a 140-tonne cargo train passed over him.
Vladimir Rasimov passed out and fell asleep between the tracks as he took a short cut home after going out with some friends in a bar.
The train driver saw somebody on the line and braked sharply. When rescuers tried to pull the drunken sleeper from underneath the carriages the man was still sleeping. Unfortunately the rescuers failed and the train had to carry on to free him.
Train driver Vladimir Slabiy said: "I saw a man lying between the tracks and tried to stop, but it was too late. The train went right over him and I thought he must have been killed."
"But when I got out and checked he was still lying there fast asleep."
"If he had woken up from the noise of the train he would have lifted his head and been hit by the undercarriage and that would have been the end of him. It was lucky he was so drunk."

This was at the end of the article:
"Stallone and President Bush share the same birthday. According to Wikipedia, Stallone is also one of President George W. Bush's two favorite actors. The other is fellow action hero and conservative Chuck Norris. Both men attended Bush's inauguration as President in 2001, but Stallone also hosted a Democratic fundraising dinner in 1998."
Bush must love movies with punches and roundhouse kicks to the face.

Rip Off Those College Students
College textbook prices are rediculous. "Certainly there are some subjects with a legitimate need for a new textbook every couple of years because the content changes so rapidly," Katz said. But "calculus hasn't changed in 300 years, so there's no need for a new edition of a textbook every couple of years."
