Snowball Toss Earns A Day in Court
2007-03-16 03:49:00
A US private detective is suing a man for 2,250 - plus courts costs - for throwing a snowball at him. William Elich, 46, claims he was about to enter a restaurant in Portland, Oregon, when Greg Ely, 32, came by in a Hummer with a "dashboard lined with snowballs". One snowball hit Mr Elich in the head, breaking his glasses and bruising his left eyeball, reports the Oregonian. Mr Elich said the loss of his bifocal glasses forced him to miss work as a private investigator for eight to 10 days while he waited for a new pair. Mr Ely, a stone mason, claims he has the wrong man: "I didn't throw a snowball at anyone," he insisted. But Mr Elich is adamant. He says that, after he was struck with the snowball, he looked through his remaining good eye and noted the number plate of the Hummer. He called called police, who visited Mr Ely but didn't pursue any charges. Officers said it was one man's word against another. But Mr Elich would not let the matter drop and is pur...

Sorry for wrongfully imprisoning you, now pay us for room and board
2007-03-16 00:57:00
Three men who spent years in jail after being wrongly convicted of murder will have to pay for their prison board and lodgings, Law Lords have ruled. Brothers Vincent and Michael Hickey of Birmingham, spent 18 years in jail for paperboy Carl Bridgewater's murder. Michael O'Brien from Cardiff spent 11 years in jail for a separate murder. The three were deducted money from their compensation for what lawyers called "living expenses" but what the court agreed was for life necessities. Judges ruled by a four to one majority that they must pay back 25% of their compensation. 'Necessities of life' The three men had appealed against an earlier Court of Appeal ruling the Independent Assessor was entitled to deduct their compensation to reflect the necessities of life which they would have to buy from wages if they were free. Their lawyers had argued it was wrong to expect people wrongly imprisoned to pay for what is effectively their "board and lodgings".Goosey's Gabbings...I...

Pentagon: "Civil War" not correct term to use for Iraq
2007-03-15 22:56:00
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A new Pentagon report said some elements of the war in Iraq fit the definition of civil war, but the term "does not adequately capture the complexity of the conflict." The war in Iraq has been characterized by fighting between the majority Shiite Muslim sect and the minority Sunni Muslims, who were in power under Saddam Hussein's regime.But the report also cites Shiite-on-Shiite violence; al Qaeda and Sunni insurgent attacks on coalition forces, and "widespread criminally motivated violence" as features that complicate the designation of civil war.The quarterly report, which is mandated by Congress, said attacks and casualties documented for the last three months of 2006 are the highest since the war began four years ago.The document, dated March 2, was released on Wednesday.Whether the conflict in Iraq amounts to a civil war has been a topic of debate in recent months. The congressional report cites declassified parts of the recently released National Intellige...

2007-03-15 21:57:00
BETTENDORF, Iowa - A burglary suspect was arrested after he left behind a Corrections Department identification card he used to jimmy a lock, authorities said. Officers said they arrested Robert Alan Fry of Rock Island, Ill., after investigating the theft Tuesday of a plastic jug containing about $400 in change from an apartment in Bettendorf. They said they found Fry's Illinois Department of Corrections ID card at the apartment and arrested him Wednesday at a Bettendorf motel. Fry, 43, was charged with third-degree burglary, possession of drug paraphernalia and interference and was taken to the Scott County Jail, authorities said. Fry was released from the Illinois prison system in January, having served two years and three months of a 10-year sentence for a Rock Island County burglary. Inmates who are released but are without legal identification like a driver's license can receive a Corrections Department-issued ID card.Goosey's Gabbings...Just when you though criminals couldn...

Potty Discrimination NO MORE!
2007-03-15 19:00:00
The lady fans at Busch Stadium will have something new to cheer about, aside from the reigning world champion St. Louis Cardinals. Team officials are promising potty parity by opening day. The restrooms in the recently opened stadium are being renovated to give women as many places to find relief as male fans. When the stadium opened last season, it wasn't in compliance with a state law requiring equal access to restrooms. Advocates say it's not fair for female fans to have to stand on long lines during the seventh inning stretch.Goosey's Gabbings...Wouldn't it be easier to just have the men drink more beer so they go to the bathroom more?

Public Spitting? Not in my town!
2007-03-15 18:34:00
BEIJING ? Residents were reminded again: Spit ting must stop, starting now. With the 2008 Beijing Olympics just 500 days away, officials said today they are prepared to take harsh measures against people who spit in public if appeals do not work. "Very soon you will see action to stop spitting," Jin Dapeng, director general of Beijing's municipal health department, said. He refused to give specifics, but hinted that fines might be involved. Residents say the habit is a reaction to Beijing's dirty, dry air. Jin said the city has been successful in altering bad habits before, as during the SARS outbreak in 2003. "During the SARS period, people followed rules to wash their hands and they didn't spit," he said. Bad manners have been a constant worry for Chinese officials and leaders who see the Olympics as a chance to impress the world and humanize China's remarkable re-emergence as a global power.

"Will have Sex to work off Fine"--NH Couple
2007-03-15 13:53:00
CONCORD, N.H. A former court security officer has been convicted of offering to pay a couple behind on a fine $20 an hour to have sex while he watched. The couple testified that they were skeptical when Robert Theriault told them they would be testing sheets and condoms as part of an insurance company survey to see if they increased sperm count.But they said they ultimately trusted Theriault, who resigned as a Franklin District Court security officer in December 2005 after being accused of the crime, because he worked for the court.The couple said they agreed to Theriault's offer because they needed money to pay a $500 speeding fine."At first I thought it was a joke," the man testified. "But every time I asked a question about it, he was right there with a response. So I began to think he was telling the truth."The couple reported Theriault in 2006 after they read news accounts about another man who had accused the former court officer of a similar offer.Theriault, 49, who was conv...

$2-million witch claim against school district rejected
2007-03-15 02:58:00
CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. (AP) - A Long Island, N.Y., teacher who alleged she was fired from her job because administrators thought she was a witch lost her US$2-million lawsuit in U.S. District Court on Tuesday. The jury deliberated for an hour before deciding Lauren Berrios, 37, wasn't entitled to any money from the Hampton Bays school district, her ex-employer. The trial began March 7. "I think the jury saw this for what it was - a publicity stunt," said lawyer Steven Stern, who represented the district. "We're glad the district can put this chapter behind them." Berrios, who denied ever practising witchcraft, sued the Long Island district in 2001 after she was dismissed from her job as a reading specialist teacher. After two years, she was denied tenure and let go. The school district claimed its decision came because Berrios did not get along with co-workers, had a condescending attitude and conjured stories about phantom injuries to her son. Her lawyer, John Ray, said in...

Cut out Best Man: still more personality than Cheney
2007-03-15 02:10:00
A racing driver sent a life-sized cardboard cut-out of himself and a pre-recorded speech to be best man at a wedding. Racing driver Andy Priaulx couldn't be there in person because he was racing in Brazil, reports the Daily Mirror. The cut-out stood next to the altar as Andy Richmond, 34, and Carlee Yates, 27, tied the knot in front of 100 guests. Carlee even took the cut-out for a dance after the ceremony. Andy, 32 - twice world touring car champion - had to drop out after unexpectedly being called to race in South America. The BMW ace hired a sign-maker to create the 6ft photograph of himself for the the wedding at Castle Cornet in Guernsey. And during the race in Brazil he wore a message on his crash helmet wishing the couple good luck. Nursery worker Carlee said: "It was brilliant. It was funny and emotional, a real tear-jerker. Andy pulled out all the stops. He was determined to be in two places at once."Goosey's Gabbings..Well, at least this way there ca...

Man grows fingernails for fifteen years
2007-03-15 01:57:00
Li Jianping, 43, of Shishi City, Fujian province, says the nails on his left hand are one metre long in total. He told the Straits City News he was very proud of them but admitted they could be an inconvenience at times. ?I never go to crowded places. And during sleep, I have to keep my left wrist under my head to prevent the hand from moving,? says Li, who owns a grocery store. The current length took 15 years to achieve, but he first started to grow them 23 years ago. ?When I was 20, I read a news report saying an Indian man had let the fingernails on his left hand grow to around one meter. Then I made up my mind to surpass him," he said. ?Before 1992, my nails were broken twice in accidents: once when I was moving things, the second time by a friend. Each time I had to start over.?

Dad charged with storing stash of drugs in 6-year old's jacket
2007-03-15 01:49:00
HILLSIDE, N.J. (AP) - Police here say a man charged with drug possession had an unusual place to store his stash: his 6-year-old daughter's jacket pocket. Dennis Riker, 41, raised suspicions Monday morning when he stopped by his daughter's school in Hillside, saying he had left his keys in her jacket. But the staff at the A.P. Morris School would not let him in because Riker was not the girl's legal guardian. That role belonged to the girl's grandmother. Police said Riker, unbeknownst to the school, called the woman to ask her to come to the school. Meanwhile, school officials called her, too, but believed someone else answered and impersonated the woman. And then, the actual grandmother arrived, saying she wanted the girl's jacket. It was all so strange that principal Tracey Wolff called police to the school. An officer checked the coat and found 25 vials of cocaine and a half-ounce rock of crack in the pocket inside. Riker was charged with drug possession with intent to d...

DAYTON ? March 2: Officers responded to a residence in the 1000 block of Xenia Avenue on a drug complaint. The resident was on the porch. The subject walked down as officers approached. There was a faint odor of marijuana. The subject admitted to having smoked some that day. The smell became stronger as the officers stood at the fence. He went in to get ID. The odor was much stronger in the living room. There were heavy extensions cords running from the kitchen up the stairs. The subject became increasingly nervous. An officer advised him to relax, noting it takes a lot of weed for a felony. The subject said, "It's a lot." He said his gas had been shut off several months and the cords were for heaters upstairs. The subject gave officers permission to search upstairs, stating "It doesn't matter. You're going to find it anyways." Approximately 102 marijuana plants were found in a bedroom.

Billboard Depicts Police Sleeping: Legal Action Threatened
2007-03-14 21:03:00
JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) -- Indonesian police sleeping on the job? Maybe, just don't tell the whole country about it. Police are threatening to sue cigarette manufacturer PT Djarum for a nationwide advertising campaign - appearing on billboards, TV and in magazines - that pokes fun at officers dozing on the job. "The force is a state institution that deserves respect," said police spokesman Maj. Gen. Sisno Adiwinoto. The ad is a visual and linguistic pun on the phrase "sleeping policemen," which in Indonesia is a term used for speed bumps. It features a road sign warning motorists of bumps, amended to read "Be careful, the police are snoozing." Adiwinoto claimed that Djarum had agreed to withdraw the ads, one of which is spread across a billboard yards from police headquarters. But Adiwinoto said police were "still discussing whether we need to take legal action or just send them a strong warning." Djarum, which makes a popular brand of clove cigarettes, was not available for co...

Penis Slicing justifed as Self Defense, jury finds
2007-03-14 16:24:00
VICTORIA (CP) - A woman who slashed a man's penis with a knife during an intimate encounter was acquitted Tuesday after a jury accepted her explanation of self-defence. Deanna Quiring was found not guilty of aggravated assault in B.C. Supreme Court. Quiring became sexually involved with Martin Sirois to settle a drug debt, said her lawyer, Maylan McKimm. "He had demanded a sexual favour for that," McKimm said. "And in the course of the sexual conduct he began to choke her and in response to that she reached into her purse and retrieved a knife, which she slashed at him with and cut his penis." Sirois suffered serious cuts to his penis and chest. McKimm said the case came down to the jury having to decide who to believe, "whether the version of Mr. Sirois that he was an innocent victim or the version of Miss Quiring that in fact she had been attacked and throttled as a result of which she lashed out at him." In his defence, McKimm also argued that Quiring was traumatized fro...

Man claims Unicorn caused car crash
2007-03-14 15:03:00
BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) -- A man told police not to blame him for crashing his truck into a light post - it was that unicorn behind the wheel. Prosecutor Ingrid Rosenquist said Phillip C. Holliday Jr. initially denied driving the truck involved in the March 7 crash in Billings. He told officers at the scene that a unicorn was driving, she said. Holliday, 42, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to felony charges of criminal endangerment and drunken driving. A pickup truck drove through a red light and nearly struck another truck in the intersection, according to court documents. The driver then made an erratic U-turn through a gas station, crossed the street and crashed into a light pole. Nobody was injured. Holliday has five drunken-driving convictions. District Judge Gregory Todd kept his bail at $100,000 despite his lawyer arguing that Holliday's last such conviction was 14 years ago.Goosey's Gabbings...Reasons Holliday gave during his other 5 drunk driving convictions:1) I saw a notice to ...

Cramped in your apartment? Kill your son!
2007-03-14 14:54:00
MOSCOW (Reuters) - A Russian woman paid a former convict to kill her 17-year-old son because she was fed up with sharing her small one-room apartment with him, the newspaper Izvestia reported on Wednesday.The 42-year-old crane operator paid the man a 2,100 rouble ($80) deposit to kill her son, Izvestia said. But the would-be hitman told the police who set up a sting operation and arrested her when she handed over the 900 rouble 'completion' payment. The woman and her son shared the tiny apartment in the Moscow region with their respective partners and there were frequent rows, which became worse when the son's girlfriend became pregnant. "The woman decided that by snuffing out her son she could solve her housing problems," the paper said. Prosecutors confirmed the report and said the suspect would be charged soon. Chronic housing shortages have dogged Russia for decades. The problem has eased slightly since the collapse of the Soviet Union, but many families of several generation...

AHMEDABAD, India (Reuters) - Police in India's Western state of Gujarat are to wear new uniforms impregnated with the fragrance of flowers and citrus to help improve their image."Most policemen look hassled, drenched in sweat after coming from any scene of crime," said Somesh Singh, a designer at the National Institute of Design in Ahmedabad that drew up the uniforms on request of the state government. "They are surely not the best person one would like to meet, but if they smell good and fresh one might as well approach them," said Singh. The uniforms, to be introduced in the next few months to the state's 300,000 police, use cotton with a fragrant finish, reflective prints and fiber optic technology to make sure the uniform not only smells good but glows at night so officials can be located easily . The uniforms will retain the scent even after washing as the fragrance is embedded in the cotton during processing. Some police say they are eager to try out the new uniforms. "We ar...

Hourglass Curves are subject of Men's Lust
2007-03-13 14:01:00
The traditional theory of beauty says that for every man who chases the voluptuous type, such as Jordan or Marilyn Monroe, there is another who prefers to woo a waif such as Twiggy or Kate Moss.But this and the idea that beauty is subjective and ever-changing has been overturned by Prof Devendra Singh and his daughter Adrian Singh.The psychologists from the University of Texas today publish research showing that lovestruck men have only one thing on their minds: a woman's WHR - waist-hip ratio, calculated by dividing waist circumference by that of the hips. Jordan and Twiggy have something in common: both have waists that are noticeably narrower than their hips and Prof Singh has found evidence this "belle curve" is ingrained in the male brain in his studies of Playboy centrefolds, the ancient Egyptians and tests on men from Africa to the Azores."We searched the literature for any reference to a female waist and examined every passage that contained each such reference," said Prof...

Satanic Vampire Presidential Candidate investigated
2007-03-13 02:57:00
The 2008 presidential bid just got a little more challenging for the race?s only satanic vampire candidate. Jonathon ?The Impaler? Sharkey, a 42-year-old New Jersey man who is running under the Vampire, Witches and Pagan Party, is currently being investigated by the Secret Service for potential threats toward President George W. Bush. According to Sharkey, Secret Service agents visited him and his 19-year-old wife, Spree, in Ohio on Feb. 15. The visit concerned Sharkey?s repeated remarks about impaling Bush, an act Sharkey said he would only do if he were elected president. ?They never even asked to see my impaling stick,? Sharkey said. Under U.S. law, threatening the president is a felony that carries a five-year prison sentence. On average, the Secret Service develops investigations about nine out of 10 times they receive threatening information, said Secret Service spokesman Darrin Blackford. Such investigations usually involve an interview with the person in question, and ...
