Silly News Items Not Covered In The Shoutbox That Don't Warrant Individual Threads

Post 'em if you got 'em

Hey, here's one!

Good times. Etta James also said she was gonna kick Beyonce's ass and that Barack Obama wasn't her president. Also, Hillary Duff called Faye Dunaway ugly and old but I don't have the energy to look up a representative article for those two. To be honest, I only made the exception for the 38KKK boob story because it was about boobs.

Good idea on a thread mate Ive just posted a thread about a Shoe Statue in Iraq maybe it could be moved here?

Woman loses hearing in passionate kiss

A passionate kiss ruptured a young woman's eardrum in southern China, state media reported on Monday, in what has been dubbed the "kiss of deaf".

The 20-something girl from Zhuhai city in Guangdong province was treated by hospital doctors after completely losing the hearing in her left ear, the China Daily reported, citing the Guangzhou Daily.

"The kiss reduced the pressure in the mouth, pulled the eardrum out and caused the breakdown of the ear," the treating doctor, surnamed Li, was quoted as saying, adding the woman's hearing would likely recover in about two months.

The incident prompted newspapers to dispense kissing safety advice.

While kissing is normally very safe, doctors urge people to proceed with caution, the China Daily reported.

"A strong kiss may cause an imbalance in air pressure between the two inner ears and lead to a broken ear drum," said the English-language Shanghai Daily in a story headlined "Kiss of deaf".

I think she had more than a tounge in her mouth when this happened

It went up before his, with different timed posts than these. Blending them would not work now.

A vicar claims a potato got stuck up his bottom after he fell on to the vegetable while hanging curtains in the nude.
The clergyman, in his 50s, told medical staff at Sheffield's Northern General Hospital that the accident was definitely not due to a sex game.

He had to undergo surgery to extract the spud from his backside, according to The Sun.

A&E nurse Trudi Watson told the paper: "He explained to me, quite sincerely, he had been hanging curtains naked in he kitchen when he fell backwards on to the kitchen table and on to a potato.

"But it's not for me to question his story."

January 25, 2009 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- Chicago police say a 14-year-old boy has been charged with impersonating a police officer after he allegedly dressed up in a regulation uniform and reported for duty at a South Side police station.
The boy worked with a partner in a squad car overnight.
The 14-year-old boy was in police custody at the juvenile detention center Sunday. Police say he was very familiar with the police department because he used to be a member of the Young Explorer program, which is part of the CAPS program. Police say the boy was and still is eager to be a police officer.
His mother says he has wanted to be a police officer since he was five years old. It was Saturday at 1:30 p.m. that police say the 14-year-old boy reported for duty at the 3rd district. The teenager was dressed in a full authorized Chicago police uniform, although he was not wearing a C.P.D. star on his sweater, nor was he carrying a gun.
The boy was partnered with a female officer. They went out for about five hours on traffic duty before heading back to the station. It was there that a sergeant questioned the boy about his identity and also why he wasn't wearing a star.
The boy says he couldn't answer the questions and began making up stories. It was then when he was arrested for impersonating a police officer.
"He basically said he did it because he was bored," his mother told ABC7 Chicago.
"The senior officer was in full control of the squad car at all times, and the 14-year-old never interacted with the public while present with the assigned officer," said Chicago police Asst. Supt. James Jackson.
However, his mother says that is not true. She says her son told her that he went on 10 calls Saturday afternoon, including a couple domestic violence calls.
"The height and weight was pretty much proportionate. A photograph of the individual, in my opinion, he looks older than his 14 years. Keep in mind, [he was] in the uniform, because as Sergeant Jackson stated, he was familiar with the procedures as being an Explorer," Dep. Supt. Dan Dugan said.
At the beginning of the shift, it is police practice to have a roll call, and at that roll call, it is the watch commander's responsibility to look at every officer's uniform. In this situation Saturday, apparently there was no roll call.
The incident is under review and investigation. Police would not say exactly what the female officer that the boy rode with for five hours had to say or if she questioned him.
According to the boy's mother, this is not the first time her son has impersonated an officer. She claims he did it before and was never prosecuted. She also says Vincent told her he bought the uniform at a uniform shop.
The mother says while he son may look a bit older than 14, she still can't believe he got away with it for more than five hours. " I was listening to what he was saying, and I'm looking at the cops thinking, 'How did you not know this was a 14-year-old kid?'"she said. -abc News

There has been a huge buzz about this now with the whole Blagojevich thing. Illinois is having a lot of problems lately with government officials and state employees. This just shows how incompetent the people the state has hired are! These are not proud days for people who live in Illinois.

Schoolboy, 11, hunts down 'DVD thief'

A Japanese schoolboy could be rewarded by police after tracking an alleged thief for more than a kilometre after clocking his suspicious behaviour outside a shop.
The 11-year-old said he saw the man take a box of DVDs from a parked car in Sendai and decided to follow him.
AFP reports that the young sleuth tailed the man until he entered his apartment, then called police to alert them to his whereabouts.
A police spokesman said: "The boy told us that he just thought he had to catch the suspicious man." He added that the boy had been thanked and that an award was being considered.
A 28-year-old man was later arrested for allegedly stealing a box of pornographic DVDs.

Man discovers pet dog is a wolf

A Chinese man who thought he was doing a good deed by rescuing a shivering 'puppy' was reportedly shocked to discover that his beloved pet is a wolf.
Authorities were called to the village of Xian after local residents became suspicious when they heard howls in the night, according to Huashang Daily.
Mr Li had apparently found the animal during a walk in the mountains last year and, mistaking it for a puppy, took it home to care for it.
He said: "It looks very much like a dog to me. I would never have suspected that it was a wolf."
An expert confirmed that the animal is a wolf and it has now been taken in by a local zoo.

Curious octopus blamed for aquarium flood

Staff at a Californian aquarium have blamed a curious octopus for a recent flood at the attraction.
The octopus reportedly managed to loosen a water-control valve at the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium, resulting in 200 gallons of seawater flooding the facility.
"It found something loose and just pulled on it," the aquarium's education manager Tara Treiber told the Los Angeles Times. "They are very smart creatures."
The female California two-spotted octopus has been at the aquarium for two months. "They are solitary but curious creatures," Treiber added.


Pensioner rescued in 8mph motorway scare


A 90-year-old man who took a wrong turn when he popped out for the paper ended up on a dual carriageway on a mobility scooter with a top speed of just 8mph.
Undeterred by the cars and lorries speeding by, Stanley Murphy remained in the centre of the slow lane as he rolled along with the vehicle at maximum power.
The drama was eventually brought to an end when businessman James Dunne pulled over, put on his hazard lights to warn other traffic and finally persuaded Murphy to stop, reports The Daily Telegraph.
"The old chap looked confused and wasn't going to stop at first. He was about to overtake when he finally gave up," said Dunne.
"He didn't say much and looked pretty shell-shocked. He wasn't even on the hard shoulder but right in the middle of the slow lane. He wouldn't have stood a chance had he been hit."
Dunne then put the Atlas mobility scooter on the back of his truck and drove it back to the pensioner's house in Shoreham, West Sussex.
Murphy said that he was thankful to everyone who had helped him get home safely

Florida student suspended from bus for passing gas

LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) -- An eighth-grader was suspended from riding the school bus for three days after being accused of passing gas. The bus driver wrote on a misbehavior form that a 15-year-old teen passing gas on the bus Monday to make the other children laugh, creating a stench so bad that it was difficult to breathe. The bus driver handed the teen the suspension form the next day.

Polk County school officials said there's no rule against flatulence, but there are rules against causing a disturbance on the bus.

The teen said he wasn't the one passing gas.

Whether he did it or not, he might have gotten off easy. A 13-year-old student at a Stuart school was arrested in November after authorities said he broke wind in class.

I dunno, I'm kinda glad that people are getting in trouble for passing gas. That stuff can be noxious.

I love all that Colbert does, just for the sake of it...

(CNN) -- Stephen Colbert may have lost his bid as an underdog presidential candidate last year, but he still wants to represent America any way he can.
The "Colbert Report" host said that his viewers. the "Colbert Nation," will now be the primary sponsor for the U.S. Olympic speed skating team when the squad goes to the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver, Canada.
The announcement was made on his show Monday night. Earlier, the Netherlands-based DSB Bank in the Netherlands had dropped out as a team sponsor.
"We must ensure that it is America's 38-inch thighs on that medal platform!" Colbert exhorted.
Bob Crowley, executive director of US Speedskating, said Colbert "embracing the US Speedskating Team will provide immeasurable exposure for our sport and very talented athletes."
The team has quite the track record, including 75 Olympic medals and such alumni as Dan Jansen, Bonnie Blair and Eric Heiden. It ranks as the most successful of any United States winter sports team.
Donations can be made via www.colbertnation.com or through US Speedskating's site.
US Speedskating is a nonprofit organization recognized by the United States Olympic Committee and the International Skating Union.
