DUI... DUI and B
2007-09-12 07:11:00 What is worse than a drunk driver? Well, a repeat offender, perhaps. or... how about a repeat offender who also happens to be blind??? In August, police in the Estonian town of Torvandi arrested the same blind man twice in one week for driving drunk. How could he perform such an amazingly stupid feat? He had three sighted friends "spotting" him while driving. ("sorry officer... I just didn't see any problem with it.") http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/article.html ?in_article_id=61503&in_page_id=2 Blogged with Flock

that musta been one big mouth
2007-09-10 04:38:00 52-CAVITY CASH CLAIM By KENNETH LOVETT Post Correspondent ALBANY - In an incredible feat of serial drilling - and serial billing - a Brooklyn dentist wants Medicaid to believe he filled 52 cavities in one patient's mouth in just one office visit, The Post has learned. Mohinder Mayell, who says he accomplished the super-human feat in no more than two hours, may have ripped off taxpayers for at least $124,000, investigators say. "Human beings typically have 32 teeth, [so] when a dentist tries to get paid for filling 52 teeth in one mouth in one day, it should raise some red flags," said state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli. Incredibly, Mayell also billed Medicaid for two other patients on the same day, telling auditors that it took him just an hour or two to do the 52 fillings, according to a draft audit by the Co...

Anger @ baby name choice
2007-09-07 06:51:00 A Chinese couple seeking a distinctive and modern name for their child chose the commonly used typographic symbol '@' (or 'at') - much to the consternation of Chinese officials.The unidentified couple and the attempted naming were cited Thursday by a Chinese government official as an example of bizarre names creeping into the Chinese language.The father 'said "the whole world uses it to write e-mails and translated into Chinese it means 'love him,'"' Li Yuming, the vice director of the State Language Commission, said at a news conference.The symbol '@' sounds like the Chinese phrase 'love him.' ...from metro.co.uk Thursday, August 16, 2007 More About: Baby , Anger , Choice

Man loses top of his head in brain operation
2007-09-04 06:09:00 (Reuters) - A German court has awarded 3,000 euros ($4,100) in damages to a man who had to have the top of his skull replaced with plastic because of a faulty hospital fridge.Doctors removed the top of the man's head and put it in cold storage while they operated on his brain, the court in the western city of Koblenz said Tuesday.Because the refrigerator was defective, the section of skull was not kept cool enough and could not be reattached. Doctors replaced the bone with a plastic prosthesis.The man sought compensation of at least 20,000 euros on the grounds that the prosthesis caused him headaches, affected his balance and made him unduly sensitivity to the weather.Following consultations with experts, the court found that the operation had caused the man's discomfort, not the loss of the top of his skull.Compensation of 3,000 euros was "appropriate and sufficient," it said."The experts consulted by the court concluded the new skull roof was better than the original," a court s...

Woman calls cops over fake drugs
More articles from this author:2007-08-30 20:39:00 Hats off to Juanita Marie Jones from the US state of Georgia, who came up with the wonderful idea of calling the police to complain that she'd been sold bad crack cocaine.Shortly after she put in the call, in the hope that that the police would help her to 'get her money back', 53-year-old Jones was arrested, bringing a promising criminal career to a temporary end.Jones called the Police in Rochelle, Georgia on Thursday, after being disappointed in the $20 rock of crack she'd just bought. She told the police that she'd split the rock into three pieces, but upon smoking the first one discovered that the crack was 'fake'. The police, ever vigilant for this sort of stuff, quickly sent round two officers, who Jones helpfully invited into her kitchen to look at the fake drugs.They arrested her on charges of possession of cocaine. Not, oddly, on charges of possession of fake cocaine.-from Metro.co.ukTuesday, August 14, 2007 More About: Drugs , Calls , Woman , Fake , Cops 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 |
