Hey It Could Happen, Couldn't It?


Man blames car wreck on prehistoric winged reptile

By Rachel Schleif
Wenatchee World

WENATCHEE -- A 29-year-old Wenatchee man told police a pterodactyl caused him to drive his car into a light pole about 11:30 p.m. Thursday.

Wenatchee police cited the man with first-degree negligent driving. A breathalyzer test showed "a minimal amount of alcohol," said Wenatchee police Sgt. Cherie Smith.

Witnesses told police the man was northbound on Wenatchee Avenue and drifted into a southbound lane for less than a block. Oncoming traffic stopped and waited for the man to pass, Smith said.

He then totaled his car on a light pole, Smith said.

When police asked the man what caused the accident, his one-word answer was "pterodactyl," Smith said. A pterodactyl was a giant winged reptile that lived more than 65 million years ago.

The man was treated and released at Central Washington Hospital, hospital officials said.

Ho, Ho Whoooooaaaaa!


Woman Accused Of Groping Santa
Police: Woman Inappropriately Touched Santa At Mall


A Danbury Conn. woman is facing charges that she groped Santa Claus at the Danbury Fair mall. Sandrama Lamy has been charged with fourth-degree sexual assault and breach of peace. Danbury police were called to the mall over the weekend. The mall Santa told police that Lamy had touched him inappropriately while sitting on his lap.

Capt. Bob Myles said police were able to quickly find and identify Lamy because she was on crutches. Lamy has been released on a promise to appear in court on Jan. 3.

A message seeking comment was left on Lamy's answering machine Tuesday morning. A woman at that number called back to say "It's a false report and I don't have any idea." Police are not releasing the name of the man playing Santa, but they said he is 65 and felt badly because children were waiting to see him.

"He was apparently shocked and embarrassed by the whole incident," Myles said. "Santa Tim" Connaghan, president of RealSantas.com, teaches hundreds of prospective Santas a year and said he's never heard of a similar incident, though it's not unusual for adults to want to pose with Santa.

Urinating man in unfortunate puppy v. penis incident

A drunk Cambodian man became embroiled in an unfortunate genital incident when, as he was urinating through a fence, a happy little puppy on the other side bit onto his penis.

News reports in Phnom Penh said that Kann Veasna was relieving himself through a hole in the fence after a hard day drinking wine when the incident occurred.

The Rasmei Kampuchea newspaper suggested that the puppy may have thought Veasna's penis was toy.

Mr Veasna's puppy/penis misfortune came to light when he turned up at hospital in the Cambodian capital, and regaled them with his tale of mirth and woe.

He was suffering from lacerations to his penis. However, doctors were able to save his organ, and are hopeful that the puppy did him no permanent damage.

News agency DPA quoted one doctor as saying: 'It's undoubtedly sore now, but luckily it should still be useful to him in the future.'

HOLY SH!T, Save the worms!


New Zealand toilet inventor flushes out worm worries

WELLINGTON (AFP) - The New Zealand inventor of a worm-driven composting toilet has flushed away concerns from bureaucrats that the system traumatized the wriggly creatures, local media reported Sunday.

Coll Bell, who built the "wormorator" as an alternative to septic tanks, was asked to get an expert's report on its mental impact on the tiger worms after an official became concerned during a site visit, the Sunday Star Times said.

"She felt that the worms were being unfairly treated, being expected to deal with human faeces, and that it could affect them in a psychological way," Bell told the newspaper.

"I said, 'Well, what do I do about that?' and she said, 'You have to have someone with the necessary qualifications to say the worms are happy'."

Woman catches fire during hemorrhoid operation


Sweden's welfare board has criticized a hospital in Stockholm after a 40-year-old woman caught fire during a hemorrhoid operation, Aftonbladet reports.

While the woman's piles were successfully removed by doctors at Ersta Hospital, she ended up leaving the surgery in September with a partially burned backside.

In addition to the hemorrhoids, the woman was also in hospital to have a lump removed with the aid of electrosurgery. The accident took place after a nurse had cleaned the woman's skin with an antiseptic solution.

With some of the highly flammable liquid having trickled under the women's body, the patient caught fire when staff switched on the electrical current and began operating.

By the time the nurse succeeded in putting out the fire, the woman had been left with three red burn marks. She later made several return visits to the hospital in order to be treated for her new injuries.

The National Board of Health and Welfare (Socialstyrelsen) has now ordered the hospital to draft a set of written procedures to ensure that patients are not exposed to similar risks in future.

Teacher Calls Police Over Impromptu Karaoke


A school custodian's impromptu after-hours karaoke performance prompted a police response when a teacher thought she was being threatened over the loudspeaker.
State police say a teacher at Booth Free School barricaded herself inside a classroom Wednesday when she mistook someone singing a Guns N' Roses song over the public address system for a threat.

She was working after hours and thought no one else was in the building. Then she heard someone say over the loudspeaker that she was going to die.

Six troopers and three police dogs showed up and found three teenagers, one of them a custodian at the school, who had been playing with the public address system. Police say one of them sang "Welcome to the Jungle" into the microphone. The song contains the lyrics "You're in the jungle baby; you're gonna die."

The teenagers were cuffed on the ground for about 15 minutes while police investigated. They were released after being questioned and state police Sgt. Brian Ness said they did not realize the teacher was in the school and will not face charges.

You Just Gotta Love Snoop


Snoop Dogg Hosts Third Annual Snoop Youth Football League Benefit Concert

SOLD OUT SHOW TO TAKE PLACE ON DECEMBER 15TH AT LOS ANGELES HOUSE OF BLUES

Entertainer Snoop Dogg will host his third annual benefit concert to take place on Saturday, December 15th at the House of Blues in Los Angeles. All proceeds from the
sold out show will go to the Snoop Youth Football League (SYFL), the 2,500 strong league created by Snoop to help kids stay off the streets with a positive, disciplined routine in sports.

Although Snoop is currently working on his forthcoming ninth album, his new hit show on E!, "Snoop Dogg's Father Hood," and his football coaching duties, he is taking time out of his busy schedule in order to benefit the league he has created, coached and funded for the past three years. The concert will ensure that the kids involved in the league have new uniforms, transportation, lodging and food for their upcoming, highly anticipated Snoop Bowl -- which will take place in Arizona during Super Bowl weekend.

American TV Has Got To Catch Up!

I won't be satisfied until we have quality TV like this in America.

Haunted Mansion May Be More Haunted Than You Think


Disneyland workers were recently forced to close the "Pirates of the Caribbean" attraction after a ride security camera caught a woman apparently dumping human remains, in what may be a growing trend.

Workers at the Anaheim theme park spotted the woman sprinkling an unidentified substance into the water on the "Pirates" ride. Anaheim police were notified of the incident. The woman told Disney park workers that the substance she dumped was baby powder, but officials are investigating the possibility that she sprinkled human ashes.

Some Disney watchers said park-goers tell them that people smuggling in the cremated remains of their loved ones and then sprinkling ashes on rides has been going on for a while. They said it started at the Haunted Mansion, but now the "Pirates of the Caribbean" ride is growing in popularity.

Urinal Headrest... It's about time!



Another one of those "why didn't I think of that kinda things"

U.S. Patent 6,681,419 describes a headrest to be installed above urinals so when you're pass-out drunk you can still piss without falling over. It's ridiculous. And judging from the picture it's just the thing for people with only one arm and no legs beneath their knees. Now if you can't even stand up straight long enough to take a piss I question why you're still at the bar. I guarantee you're only hitting on ugly women (and possibly dudes). It's best to just leave. That said, I want these installed at my local watering hole. Except above the deep-fryer, because that's where I tend to go when I'm plastered.

China denies fake photo Internet rumors


The Chinese government has strenuously denied Internet rumors that a photo it claims was taken by its first lunar probe are simply reprints of NASA photos.

China's premier, Wen Jiabao, has called the photo proof of China's recent advances in the realms of space and technology. But internet users in China have commented that the photo is similar to a NASA image taken in 2005. However, one of the chief scientists who worked on the lunar probe, Ouyang Ziyuan, was quoted by the Beijing News as saying: "China's first moon photo is absolutely not a fake ... a careful examination will tell some small differences."

In 2003 China became the third nation, after the Soviet Union and the US, to put a man in space using its own rocket. China has claimed that it is to launch another manned mission to space next year, which will involve a space walk.
