Small Genitals Defense

2007-11-29T21:07:00.001-08:00

Flasher's 'inadequacy' plea fails. A man convicted of being a serial flasher told a court he could not be guilty as his genitals were too small.

Michael Carney, 41, claimed he was too embarrassed about the size of his manhood to expose himself to women and showed the court photographs as proof.

But the jury at Teesside Crown Court convicted the father-of-two, of Stockton, Teesside of seven counts of outraging public decency.

The jury was then told he was earlier found guilty of five sexual assaults.

'Smaller than average'

Carney, of Fleetham Grove, will be sentenced for the flashing and sex assaults next year.

During the three-day trial the defendant told the court: "It causes embarrassment to myself, even to the point where it is with my wife. I wouldn't want myself to be seen in public like that.

"My genitalia are underdeveloped and it is so much smaller than average."

He showed the jury photographs taken by his wife to prove his claims.

Jail 'likely'

But the jury convicted him of flashing in front of six different women over a number of years.

The court heard that on most occasions, he exposed himself to passers-by while standing naked in the front window of his home.

But he was also spotted naked on the driveway of his home.

The court also heard he had already been convicted of sexually assaulting five females in his local area while out jogging.

Judge Brian Forster told Carney he was likely to receive a jail sentence, before granting the quality inspector for a plastics firm bail.

Swallowing Foil

2007-11-21T21:35:00.000-08:00

Well, I was eating a cake my Mom saved for me. It was wrapped in aluminum foil. Somehow I managed to swallow a small piece of foil along with the cake. The piece was a bit smaller than a dime. Is this something I should be concerned about? Like call a doctor? Even if I did, what would they do?

You're going to die. Aluminium foil, when it makes contact with your stomach acids starts a chemical reaction, which creates a gas which expands, pressing your stomach until it explodes. You should be at the hospital now. I think it's too late.

Damn dude, are you serious?

Drink a few bottles of ipecac.

Fuck, I didn't know it was that serious. I'm going to go call a doctor up right now.

I'd rush cause seriously your urine will TURN aluminum colored.

Do you think a free clinic would see me as an emergency? I don't have any money right now. And I would drink some Ipecac but I don't have any right now. What would the doctors do to remove the foil?

Yeah it's an emergency. You need to get down there as quick as possible. The doctors would probably pump your stomach. It has to be surgically removed because it combines with the lining of your stomach. The only way to get it out is by cutting open your stomach and removing it with a scalpel. If it's in your intestines already, surgery is typically fatal.

Fuck, I'm really freaked out now. I'm seriously panicking. I didn't know such a small piece would cause so much trouble. God damnit. Fuck, I don't want to die. I have a fear of vomiting (I haven't done it in 10 years) but I just looked up stomach pumping and that is like forced vomiting. I'm going to call a few places right now and hopefully it hasn't fucked me up yet. Well I ate it an hour ago so I'm guessing it's already in my intestines. Fuck! This is some scary shit. I'm going to have my Dad take me up there in a hour when he wakes up for work. I'm going to go in as an emergency though I haven't called yet. I hope it's not already in my intestines so they can pump it out. If it is already in there then I'll have to get surgery, fuck. Never in my life would I have known swallowing a small piece of foil could really screw me over like this. It's ironic how shit happens. I've taken so many beatings and been through so much shit and now a fucking piece of foil screws me over.

Well if you survive this, you can always try to sue to foil companies for not putting "do not ingest" warnings on the boxes.

I'm going to the doctor in an hour so I will let you guys know how it went. Thankfully I have a hospital like five minutes away from here. I'm just going to let them do whatever they need to do to get it out and hopefully I won't be screwed but if I am, I'll just have to deal with it as they come. I mean, it's ironic that when my life finally starts going good I eat a fucking piece of foil and it all goes to hell. Fuck life.

Be strong man, it'll be okay.

200 Orgasms Daily

2007-11-14T21:16:00.000-08:00

By Matthew Acton

PRETTY Sarah Carmen is a 200-a-day orgasm girl who gets good, good, GOOD vibrations from almost anything.

The rumble of a train on the tracks, the purr of a hairdryer, the rhythmic drone of a photo-copier are all enough to make her go oh oh oh, ahhhhh.

She had FIVE orgasms during our 40-minute interview. But I can't take the credit—it was just talking about her sex life that set her off.

Sarah, 24, suffers from Permanent Sexual Arousal Syndrome (PSAS), which increases blood flow to the sex organs.

She said: "Sometimes I have so much sex to try to calm myself down I get bored of it. And men I sleep with don't seem to make as much effort because I climax so easily."

As she chatted, Sarah became increasingly flustered.

"Sorry, you'll have to excuse me for a minute. I'll be with you in a sec," she mumbled before letting out a long sigh.

Sarah, from London, developed PSAS after being prescribed anti-depressants at 19.
Stunned

She believes her condition was brought on by the pills.

She said: "Within a few weeks I just began to get more and more aroused more and more of the time and I just kept having endless orgasms.

"It started off in bed where sex sessions would last for hours and my boyfriend would be stunned at how many times I would orgasm.

"Then it would happen after sex. I'd be thinking about what we'd done in bed and I'd start feeling a bit flushed, then I'd become aroused and climax.

"In six months I was having 150 orgasms a day—and it has been as many as 200."

She and her boyfriend split— and new partners struggle to keep up with her sex demands. "Often, I'll want to wear myself out by having as many orgasms as I can so they stop and I can get some peace," she said.

Sarah is a beautician and working in salons filled with whirring hairdryers and skincare gadgets can cause problems.

"If I start coughing and run to the loo, the girls know to fetch the client a magazine or a cup of tea," she said, adding, "Sometimes I'd like to just have a normal life."

All together now, aaaahhhhh!

We must fight for climax change
By Dr Hilary Jones

WOMEN who suffer PSAS constantly feel on the brink of the powerful and rhythmic muscular contractions that orgasms cause.

This condition is so rare that some experts have mocked it.

No scientific explanation has ever been provided, but it may be that some inflammation or infection in the pelvic area is stimulating clitoral nerves.

Some psychiatrists believe PSAS is simply a psychological symptom of some emotional crisis—it's like a broken heart expressing itself as genital sensitivity.

Either way, a woman with PSAS can be in mental and physical pain and really needs sympathetic medical help.

The more women like Sarah speak out, the more the medical profession will realise this is something they need to treat with sympathy and understanding.

Internet Exclusive Interview
By Matthew Acton

SARAH Carmen, 24, says the Permanent Sexual Arousal Syndrome that she suffers from can cause her to have orgasm at any time of day.

She explained: "Anything can set me off. Even the hairdryers cause funny pulsations through my body.

"As a skin care specialist I have to use tools which vibrate a lot of the time for micro-dermabrasion and they sometimes set me off.

"I find if I'm nervous I'm less likely to get over-excited. So sometimes I try to psyche myself up and worry to control my orgasms.

"Some of my regular customers know my problem. But with new clients it's hard to explain.

"I have been in the middle of a treatment and it's happened and I've had to carry on.

"I was doing a bikini wax and you have to really concentrate and keep your hands very still, and mine go a bit wobbly when I orgasm.

"I had to pretend I had cramp in my foot and just stood there wriggling around on the spot and stifling my moans until it was over."

Sarah's friends think she is the luckiest girl ever, although her family think her behaviour is sometimes slightly odd.

She said: "The best way to describe how I am when I am with my family and I have one of my 'moments' is that I behave like Sheila from Shameless.

"I just get a bid giddy and yelp out and try to control myself. I've never sat down and explained it to my mum and dad, it's just too weird.

"They just think I get a bit hyperactive round them.

"My friends think it's great. I have more orgasms in one day than most of them will probably have in a year.

"They say to me that they feel lucky if their boyfriend makes them have one orgasm-some days I have one every ten minutes."

It has proved to be a problem for Sarah in some relationships.

She said: "I dated one guy who was very selfish and he was that way in the bedroom too. He'd just lie back and expect me to please him.

"He just figured that because I could climax without him even having to touch me, he didn't need to do anything to please me.

"I just thought that was rude and inconsiderate. It didn't last very long with him."

She has also had embarrassing moments in public. Going to noisy bars and clubs is out of the question as the vibrations send her wild.

"We have to find nice quiet bars," she explained. "I have more orgasms if I have a drink as it relaxes me so I tend to drink very little now.

"It can be a bit embarrassing if I'm tipsy and guys who don't know me talk to me, because I find it harder to hide.

"The most embarrassing thing that has happened was when I answered a market research questionnaire and had an orgasm in front of the researcher.

"She knew what was happening and looked at me like I was a weirdo. I tried to explain that I couldn't help it, but I was blushing so much I had to walk away."

Sarah has even been to a Sex Addicts' Anonymous meeting in despair over her sex drive.

She said: "At first when the problem started I just wanted to have sex all the time, I thought I was a sex addict.

"But when I looked around the room and heard the stories other people told, about how desperate they were for sex, I realised I wasn't like them.

"With me, it was a means of releasing my orgasm, but now I know I don't have to have sex to do that."

Sarah has looked into the condition and believes it may have been triggered by her taking anti-depressants.

She said: "I've found studies that say that taking anti-depressants and then stopping has an effect on the sexual organs. That is the only thing that explains what happens to me.

"But I've heard of other girls who have the same problem and it just appears out of the blue. I've spoken to my doctor about it but she wasn't a great deal of help but that's mainly because there's very little known about it and no one yet knows how to cure it."

Thanks to her understanding friends and colleagues, Sarah feels like she can now live with PSAS.

She said: "I'm lucky because people around me are very kind and appreciate that sometimes this is a problem for me and it can be embarrassing.

"I need to concentrate on something sad or worrying when I talk to people and I don't want to get carried away."

During our 40-minute interview, Sarah told us she had five orgasms.

Years of dealing with the problem means that sometimes she can hide it quite well.

Her voice goes high pitched and she will lose her train of thought and have to stop talking completely for a few seconds. She says disguises this by coughing when she is in awkward situations.

"But it's also nice to have so much excitement every day! It's strange because it came from nowhere and I guess it could go away just as quickly, so I'm making the most of it while it lasts!"

It's a sad day for streaming video fans everywhere as news has been reported that TVLinks has been shut down and the owner, a 26yo man from Chelteham in the UK, was arrested.

Though not hosting an actual content himself, and rather merely providing links to where particular titles can be found, he was nonetheless apparently charged for the "facilitation" of copyright infringement.

"Sites such as TV Links contribute to and profit from copyright infringement by identifying, posting, organizing, and indexing links to infringing content found on the internet that users can then view on demand by visiting these illegal sites," said a spokesman for Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT) today.

What makes the charges so odd is that he was again, only providing LINKS to pirated content, and not actually hosting any such material. Can linking really be considered "facilitation?" If I link to TVLinks am I then a co-conspirator?

FACT goes on to revisit the same old diatribe about how piracy is stealing food from form the tables of people who work in the film industry, but with guys like Brad Pitt reportedly getting $20million bucks to make trash like "Babel" who's really robbing who? Couldn't Pitt be paid a little less, say $15 million, and leave that other 5 for the "starving" film crew? I guess not

"The theft and distribution of films harms the livelihoods of those working in the UK film industry and in ancillary industries, as well as damaging the economy," said FACT's director general Kieron Sharp.

What's even more surprising is that the move was part of an overall strategy to crack down on piracy, though all it does is target a middleman who tells you where to go. More importantly, will its demise really compel people to find content legally or to suddenly run down to their local cinema? I think not, and all it means, as is usually the case with piracy, is that people will just go elsewhere.

Either way R.I.P. TVLinks, it was nice while it lasted. Maybe once again we have a case where Sweden's the only answer.

Cockfighting Bust

2007-10-16T20:35:00.000-07:00

Cockfighting Bust Nets 5,000 Chickens
By Associated Press

SAN DIEGO - Authorities made what they called the largest cockfighting bust in U.S. history with the seizure of more than 5,000 roosters, hens and chicks from two training grounds, officials said.

Agents found 4,400 chickens Saturday at a 7-acre compound in the Otay Mesa industrial area of San Diego. More than 2,500 birds were seized at the same place six years ago in what was believed to be the nation's largest bust.

Hundreds more chickens were found this time at a second training ground nearby, officials said.

Other stings have resulted in more arrests but none have produced more birds, said John Goodwin, manager of animal fighting issues at The Humane Society of the United States, which deployed its own staff on the raid along with local and federal law enforcement agents.

"In terms of the number of animals seized, this is the biggest, hands down," he said Monday.

Fifty people were issued misdemeanor citations, punishable by up to one year in jail and a $5,000 fine, and ordered to answer to cockfighting charges in early December, said Paul Levikow, a spokesman for the San Diego County District Attorney's office. If the defendants have a history of animal cruelty, they may be charged with felonies.

Another 50 people are still being sought, authorities said.

About 80 percent of the birds seized have been euthanized, Levikow said.

The cockfighting operation was managed and patronized largely by Filipinos, and fights were staged in the San Diego area, Levikow said. Many birds were sent to the Philippines or Hawaii.

Radioactive Oatmeal

2007-10-16T20:10:00.000-07:00

Settlement Reached in Suit Over Radioactive Oatmeal Experiment
(C) The New York Times

A group of former students who ate radioactive oatmeal as unwitting participants in a food experiment will share a $1.85 million settlement from Quaker Oats and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

More than 100 boys at the Fernald School in Waltham, Mass., were fed cereal containing radioactive iron and calcium in the 1940's and 1950's. The diet was part of an experiment to prove that the nutrients in Quaker oatmeal travel throughout the body.

Quaker and M.I.T. agreed last week to pay to settle the class-action lawsuit, which covers about 30 people. A hearing is scheduled for April 6 to make the settlement final.

Quaker Oats officials wanted to match the advertising claims of their competitor, Cream of Wheat, which is based on farina, said Alexander Bok, one lawyer for the plaintiffs.

The boys, many of whom were wards of the state and inaccurately classified as mentally retarded, joined the Fernald Science Club in the late 1940's and early 1950's.

A $60 million lawsuit was filed in Federal District Court here two years ago asserting that the children were tricked into joining the science club to participate in the experiments. The suit also asserts that some boys were exposed to more radiation than allowed under Federal limits.

M.I.T. said on Tuesday that the exposure to radiation was about equal to the natural background radiation people were exposed to from the environment every year. The university also noted that a state panel in 1994 determined that the students had suffered no significant health effects from the experiment.

The panel did say, however, that the students' civil rights had been violated.

Quaker Oats continues to deny that it played a large role in the experiments. The company donated the cereal and gave a ''small research grant'' to the university, said a Quaker spokesman, Mark Dollins.

Bank Robbery Prank

2007-10-09T20:48:00.000-07:00

By JAYETTE BOLINSKI
STAFF WRITER

A routine trip to the bank to make a withdrawal became anything but for a New Jersey man in Springfield on Monday morning.

The man, who regularly banks with Chase, stopped by the branch at 200 S. Dirksen Parkway about 11:15 a.m., picked up a blank withdrawal slip from a kiosk, filled it out and went to the counter, where he handed the slip to the teller.

What he didn’t realize was that someone else — possibly a practical joker — had scribbled, "This is a stickup," on the back of the withdrawal slip he picked up.

Having been the victim of two past bank robberies, the teller handling his transaction decided not to take any chances and activated the holdup alarm, then stalled the man.

Outside, police descended on the bank parking lot and waited for the man to emerge from the building. Inside, he waited patiently for the teller to finish his transaction so he could leave.

"He didn’t do anything or say anything" to make the teller think he was there to rob the bank, Springfield deputy police chief Clay Dowis said.

The man, in his 50s, was nicely dressed, clean-cut and wearing dress pants and a blue button-down shirt. He didn’t try to hide his face in the bank, and he parked his car in the front lot.

Police eventually went in and apprehended him. However, they quickly realized what had happened and began sorting things out. They held the man for about 15 minutes total, five minutes of which were spent in handcuffs, and then released him.

"He was very understanding," Dowis said.

The man is working in Springfield as a contractual employee for one of the hospitals.

The bank was closed temporarily while police investigated the incident.

McDonalds Strip Search Hoax

2007-10-05T19:25:00.001-07:00

Jury gives $6.1M to woman in strip hoax
By BRUCE SCHREINER, Associated Press Writer

SHEPHERDSVILLE, Ky. - A jury awarded $6.1 million Friday to a woman who was forced to strip for a search in a McDonald's back office after someone called the restaurant posing as a police officer reporting a theft.
ADVERTISEMENT

Louise Ogborn, who was 18 during the 3 1/2-hour ordeal, was forced to undress and perform sexual acts with the boyfriend of a former assistant manager at the restaurant while the man was on the phone with the bogus caller, according to a surveillance video shown to jurors during the four-week trial.

Ogborn, now 21, sued McDonald's Corp., claiming the fast-food giant failed to warn her and other employees about the caller who already struck other McDonald's stores and other fast-food restaurants across the country. She sought $200 million in damages, but McDonald's argued the company was not responsible and was being sued because of its deep pockets.

The jury award $5 million in punitive damages and about $1.1 million in compensatory damages.

Juror Kay Parrish told reporters the amount awarded will enable Ogborn to "live well the rest of her life" and "put all this behind her."

A teary Ogborn hugged relatives after the verdict. She said she planned to use some of the money to attend law school.

"Louise has stood up for what happened to her and what McDonald's failed to do for three-and-a-half years, and this jury just vindicated her completely," said her attorney, Ann Oldfather.

McDonald's was evaluating whether to appeal the decision, a spokesman said.

"While we are disappointed with the verdict, we remain vigilant in our efforts to protect our employees and provide them with a safe and respectful workplace," said William Whitman, a spokesman for McDonald's USA.

The Associated Press generally does not identify victims of sexual abuse. Ogborn's name, however, has appeared in numerous newspaper and broadcast stories with her permission.

The caller to the Mount Washington restaurant impersonated a police officer when he gave a description of a young, female employee accused of stealing from a customer, the lawsuit said. According to testimony, Ogborn fit the description, and the caller instructed an employee to conduct the search.

Donna Summers, a former McDonald's assistant manager who also sued the fast-food chain, led the strip search at the direction of the caller. Summers and Kim Dockery, another assistant manager, were named as defendants in Ogborn's suit, but the jury ruled they did not have to pay any damages.

Oldfather said Summers and Dockery were duped by the caller.

"Everybody is still suffering because of this, and now maybe McDonald's will suffer a little bit in the pocketbook," Oldfather said.

In deciding compensatory damages, the jury placed half the blame on McDonald's and the other half on the unnamed caller.

A Florida man, David Stewart, was acquitted last year on charges of making the hoax call. Police have said the calls stopped after Stewart's arrest.

Summers was placed on probation for a misdemeanor conviction in the case. Her former fiance, Walter Nix Jr., is serving five years in prison for sexually abusing Ogborn during the ordeal.

Girl Stripped in Classroom

Girl stripped for forgetting homework

From correspondents in New Delhi

September 30, 2007 06:52pm

A SEVEN-year-old girl was made to strip naked by her teacher in a New Delhi school for not completing her homework.

She was made to strip completely naked and stand on a desk in her class on Friday while other students were asked to boo her.

"The teacher was arrested on a complaint by the parents but she has been released as it was a bailable offence," Rajan Bhagat said.

"This is barbaric," Shanta Sinha, head of the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights, said in a newspaper report. "No one has the right to outrage the modesty of a child."

The commission had issued a directive this year barring schools from calling students "stupid" or "mindless".

A government study backed by the United Nations Children's Fund said earlier this year two-thirds of children in India are physically abused, mostly at home and in schools.

Japanese Transparent Frog

2007-09-28T20:46:00.000-07:00

No need for dissection as see-through frogs jump in
(C) Miwa Suzuki

TOKYO (AFP) - Japanese researchers have succeeded in producing see-through frogs, letting them observe organs, blood vessels and eggs under the skin without performing dissections.

"You can see through the skin how organs grow, how cancer starts and develops," said the lead researcher Masayuki Sumida, professor at the Institute for Amphibian Biology of state-run Hiroshima University.

"You can watch organs of the same frog over its entire life as you don't have to dissect it. The researcher can also observe how toxins affect bones, livers and other organs at lower costs," he told AFP.

Dissections have become increasingly controversial in much of the world, particularly in schools where animal rights activists have pressed for humane alternatives such as using computer simulations.

Sumida said his team, which announced the research last week at an academic conference, had created the first transparent four-legged creature, although some small fish are also see-through.

The researchers produced the creature from rare mutants of the Japanese brown frog, or Rena japonica, whose backs are usually ochre or brown.

Two kinds of recessive genes have been known to cause the frog to be pale.

Sumida's team crossed two frogs with recessive genes through artificial insemination and the offspring looked normal due to the presence of more powerful genes. But crossing the offspring led to a frog whose skin is transparent from the tadpole stage.

"You can see dramatic changes of organs when tadpoles mutate into frogs," said Sumida, whose team is seeking a patent.

Such frogs could theoretically exist in the wild but it is "virtually impossible" they would naturally inherit so many recessive genes, Sumida said.

The transparent frogs can also reproduce, with their offspring inheriting their parents' traits, but their grandchildren die shortly after birth.

"As they have two sets of recessive genes, something wrong must kick in and kill them," Sumida said.

While the researchers relied on artificial insemination, they said that genetic engineering could also produce transparent and even illuminating frogs.

Sumida said researchers could also inject into the transparent frogs an illuminating protein attached to a gene, which would light up the gene once it manifests -- for example, showing at what stage cancer starts.

Sumida said it would be unrealistic to apply the same method to mammals such as mice as their skin structure is different.

Instant Cure for Hiccups

2007-09-25T20:03:00.000-07:00

A simple, easy cure for hiccups...

Alright, so you've hiccups. You can't stop. While hiccups generally stop without intervention, we've got a fail-safe cure for you.

Hiccups are involuntary spasms of the diaphragm; typically hiccups repeat several times a minute. The sudden rush of air into the lungs causes the glottis to close, creating the "hic" noise.

Step 1: Inhale through your mouth until your lungs are full. Resist every urge to hiccup and inhale as quickly as possible. Do not exhale.

Step 2: Swallow. If your diaphragm spasms, try swallowinging again. Do not exhale.

Step 3: Still holding your breath, without exhaling, inhale again. Deep. Do not exhale. If air escapes through your nose, quickly pinch it off.

Step 4: Swallow again.

Step 5: Repeat steps three and four until you can no longer swallow. Once you're sure you can no longer swallow, force it one more time. Fight it! Do not exhale.

Step 6: Exhale.

The Chuck Norris Bridge

2007-09-24T20:55:00.000-07:00

If Hungarian voters have their way then Budapest could be the home for the first bridge in the world to be named after Chuck Norris, the high-kicking star of countless action movies.

The Ministry of Economy and Transport could well be kicking itself after the star become an early front runner in an online poll organised by the ministry to name a new bridge across the Danube.

Almost 9000 people have voted for the "Chuck Norris Bridge".

The name was suggested by somebody who said that it would be a good idea because "there is no such bridge in the world and Hungary would be the first".

Hundreds of nominations have been put forward, many of them less than serious.

In second place, only a few hundred votes behind Chuck, is Pato Pal.

Pato Pal was a character in a poem by Hungary's favourite poet Sandor Petoffi, and the name has become synonymous with people who do not want to spend money.

The wag that suggested Pato Pal said that "the name speaks for itself, because the bridge should have been built decades ago."

Szent Istvan, the founder of the Hungarian state, is languishing in ninth place with just over 2000 votes.

However, should Chuck Norris win the vote for the bridge, which is set to open in 2008, the ministry has a get out clause.

The top three names from the list will be added to suggestions from the local councils affected by the bridge, linguists and other experts and go before a government committee for consideration.

The poll closes on September 8.

Sex Aid Burglar

2007-09-23T17:12:00.000-07:00

A MAN who broke into his neighbour's home west of Brisbane and used her vacuum cleaner and a detergent bottle as sex aids has avoided jail.
Jamie Thomas Lacey, 27, was high on LSD and amphetamines when he broke into the house at Millmerran in September 2004.

He pleaded guilty today in the Brisbane District Court to burglary and wilful damage.

The court was told his neighbour returned home on September 29 to find her bathroom in a total state of disarray.

Crown prosecutor Julie Aylward told the court pornographic magazines and clothes were strewn around the room, and that a makeshift sex aid constructed from a Toilet Duck bottle, a piece of wood and a latex glove had also been left behind.

The woman's vacuum cleaner had also been left in the bathroom.

Lacey's defence barrister, Shaun Gordon, argued there was no proof his client had used the vacuum cleaner as a sex aid, but Judge Tony Rafter said it was unlikely it had been used for cleaning.

"I'm sure that your client didn't hoover the carpets,'' he said.

Police attended Lacey's house just days after the incident was reported.

During the search police uncovered a black carry bag filled with condoms, gloves, creams and a tapered wooden stick.

Lacey told police it was his "masturbation bag'', but denied any knowledge of the burglary.

He was arrested in December 2006 after police finally matched his DNA to that found on the latex glove attached to the Toilet Duck bottle.

He later told police he had vague recollections of the offence, but said his memory was jumbled as he had been a heavy drug user at the time.

Mr Gordon told the court his client had since cleaned up his life and that he was now the father of a seven-month-old child.

He told the court his client had held down a good job at Kilcoy Pastoral Company for two years, and Judge Rafter agreed it would be counter-productive to send him to jail.

Judge Rafter sentenced him to 12 months' jail, which he ordered to be served in the community as an Intensive Correction Order.

Man Digs His Own Grave

2007-09-23T17:11:00.001-07:00

Two sons of a Gold Coast multi-millionaire forced a 19-year-old man to dig his own grave, taunted him with a gun, and then shot him in the hand after being left out of pocket in a failed drug deal, a court has heard.

Jade Michael Lacey, 24, and Dionne Matthew Lacey, 20, are facing a string of charges, including attempted murder and torture over their alleged treatment of Owen Matthews in April this year.

Matthews provided an emotional account of his alleged ordeal to a committal hearing in Southport Magistrates Court.

However, his testimony only went ahead after a screen was placed in front of the accused's father, milk millionaire Ken Lacey, because of Matthews' claims Lacey snr was intimidating him by giving him "death stares" during the previous day's proceedings.

Matthews told the court the Laceys abducted him at gunpoint, and took him to an isolated location on South Stradbroke Island, off the Gold Coast, after blaming him for the loss of 500 ecstasy pills allegedly stolen during a drug exchange.

He said they travelled to the island by boat on the night of April 21, after allegedly leaving from the brothers' unit in the plush waterfront suburb of Ephram Island.

The 19-year-old was so fearful he would be killed he snapped apart his Medicare card in his pocket and dropped a piece on the shore so he could be identified later.

Matthews told the court the brothers led him inland a short distance, before Dionne Lacey disappeared briefly before returning with two shovels and instructing him to dig his own grave.

Once the hole was dug, he said he was told to kneel in the grave with his hands behind his head.

"I started to cry and I prayed to myself for my life," he said.

At that point, he said, he felt a sharp blow to the side of his head and fell backwards, before Jade held the gun about 40cm from his head and pulled the trigger three times.

When no bullets were fired, he said Dionne Lacey remarked: "Looks like an angel kissed you on the dick."

Mr Matthews said the brothers then told him he owed them $50,000, and that they were going to shoot him to show him how serious they were.

He said Jade instructed him to hold out his left hand and fired a shot through it.

Afterwards, he said, he was taken back to the Laceys' unit, where he was imprisoned in the laundry for several days while the Laceys contemplated ways for him to get the money. Eventually they released him to a drug associate.

The court was told Matthews made a complaint to police after hearing news the brothers were wanted for the alleged murder of 23-year-old labourer Kevin Palmer at Nerang on May 6.

The hearing was adjourned until a date to be set, likely to be later this year.

Man Urinates on ill Woman

2007-09-19T21:23:00.000-07:00

A Hartlepool man is facing jail after he urinated on a disabled woman who lay dying in the street.

The 27-year-old shouted "this is YouTube material" as he degraded Christine Lakinski, 50, who had fallen ill, magistrates heard.

Miss Lakinski, who suffered a number of medical conditions, died from natural causes, an inquest found.

Anthony Anderson, of Raby Road, who admitted outraging public decency, will be sentenced at Teesside Crown Court.

Hartlepool magistrates heard how, on 27 July, Miss Lakinski was making her way home with a box of laminate flooring when she fell ill and stumbled into a doorway.

Anderson had smoked a cannabis joint and been drinking when he and two friends spotted her.

He tried to rouse her by throwing a bucket of water over her, before urinating on her and covering her with shaving foam. The incident was filmed on a mobile phone.

She was later declared dead at the scene, the cause of death being given as pancreatic failure.

Lynne Dalton, prosecuting, said: "Although his actions did not contribute to her death it was appalling behaviour that robbed her of any dignity in the last hours of her life."

She urged magistrates to transfer the case to crown court for sentencing, claiming their maximum powers were insufficient.

Anderson's solicitor did not oppose the application and his client will be sentenced at Teesside Crown Court on 22 October.

After Wednesday's hearing, Miss Lakinski's brother, Mark, said: "We will await the outcome and just hope he gets what he deserves."

Student Tased for Voicing Opinion

2007-09-18T21:16:00.000-07:00

Watch freedom of speech wither before your eyes. Andrew Meyer was shot with a taser gun after relaying an impassioned question at a Kerry speech. It's clear that the hosts would only tolerate 'fluff' questions as we've all been accustomed to. Why didn't his class mates stand up for his right to voice his opinion. Even Kerry appears to have made every effort to answer his questions despite the badges coming to strong-arm a student--who clearly cares about the country he lives in--into a dreary prison cell.

Police Taser student at Kerry speech

By JACK STRIPLING
Sun staff writer

U.S. Sen. John Kerry's speech at the University of Florida came to a dramatic close Monday, shortly after a vocal audience member was hauled off by police and shot with a Taser gun.

Toward the conclusion of Kerry's UF forum, 21-year-old Andrew Meyer approached an open microphone at University Auditorium and demanded Kerry answer his questions. Meyer, a UF student in the College of Journalism and Communications, claimed that University Police Department officers had already threatened to arrest him, and then proceeded to question Kerry about why he didn't contest the 2004 presidential election and why there had been no moves to impeach President Bush.

A minute or so into what became a combative diatribe, Meyer's microphone was turned off and officers began trying to physically remove him from the auditorium. Meyer flailed his arms, yelling as police tried to restrain him.

He was then pushed to the ground by six officers, at which point Meyer yelled, "What have I done? What I have I done? Get away from me. Get off of me! What did I do? Help me! Help."

Police threatened to use a Taser on Meyer if he did not "comply," but he continued to resist being handcuffed. He was then Tased, which prompted him to scream and writhe in pain on the floor of the auditorium.

After the incident, Capt. Jeff Holcomb of the UPD said Meyer had been charged with disrupting a public event and placed in the Alachua County jail.

Holcomb said there would be an investigation into whether the officers used force appropriately, adding that employing a Taser gun would only be justified in a case where there was a threat of physical harm to officers.

In a news release sent out after the event, UPD officials said Meyer had been "partially" handcuffed before the Tasing. Holcomb said "partial" handcuffing implies only one hand was cuffed, adding that it would be "atypical" to use a Taser on someone who was fully cuffed.

As Meyer was escorted away, he was followed by several students, including Matthew Howland, 20. Howland, a UF senior who said he didn't know Meyer, said he was "appalled" by the way UPD officers handled the situation. Howland acknowledged that Meyer had acted inappropriately by "rushing" the microphone and forcing a question on Kerry.

"It's a perfect example of when officers take something to a level that is not necessary," he said. "The officers escalated that situation."

Throughout the incident, Kerry urged the audience to "cool down" and proceeded to answer Meyer's question about contesting the election. As officers escorted Meyer from the auditorium into the lobby, Kerry went on to explain that he did not think there was sufficient evidence of voter suppression to justify contesting the 2004 election.

"We just couldn't do it in good conscience because we didn't have that evidence," he said.

Kill Shark w/ Bare Hands

2007-09-13T20:55:00.000-07:00

An Icelandic fishing captain, known as "the Iceman" for his tough character, grabbed a 300 kg shark with his bare hands as it swam in shallow water towards his crew, a witness said today.

The skipper of the trawler "Erik the Red" was on a beach in Kuummiit, east Greenland, watching his crew processing a catch when he saw the shark swimming towards the fish blood and guts - and his men.

Captain Sigurdur Petursson, known to locals as "the Iceman", ran into the shallow water and grabbed the shark by its tail. He dragged it off to dry land and killed it with his knife.

"He caught it just with his hands. There was a lot of blood in the sea and the shark came in and he thought it was dangerous," Frede Kilime, a hunter and fisherman who watched from the beach, told Reuters by phone from Greenland.

Icelandic author and journalist Reynir Traustason, who knows the trawler captain, said the act was typical of the man.

"He's called 'the Iceman' because he isn't scared of anything," he said. "I know the people in that part of the world. They are really tough.

Craigslist Dog Post

2007-09-13T20:41:00.000-07:00

Posted at Craigslist

I have 2 dogs & I was buying a large bag of Pal at Big W and standing inline at the check out.

A woman behind me asked if I had a dog.

On impulse, I told her that no, I was starting The Pal Diet again although I probably shouldn't because I'd ended up in the hospital last time, but that I'd lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IV's in both arms.

I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Pal nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry & that the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again.

I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now enthralled with my story, particularly a guy who was behind her.

Horrified, she asked if I'd ended up in the hospital in that condition because I had been poisoned. I told her no; it was because I'd been sitting in the street licking my balls and a car hit me.

I thought one guy was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard as he staggered out the door.

Stupid b*tch...why else would I buy dog food?

IRC Away Messages

2007-09-12T21:13:00.000-07:00

Away messages suck. Please turn them off.
You see, nobody on IRC gives a rat's ass where you are at any given point in the day. If they do, they can contact you via more appropriate, private means.

In the meantime, there are forty other people on the channel you're spamming with your play-by-plays who are all on ten or twenty other channels themselves. Your stupid

* randomgit is back: I'm done pissing now!

messages are forcing them to at least look at a window and read something they don't care about, potentially they even have to wiggle their mice around and click on things in order to find out you've run out of pork rinds and are going down to the Minute Mart for more.

Were you even talking to anyone before you announced that? Do any of your actual *friends* need to know? No! That's the beauty of IRC: it's asynchronous. If you're leaving your client connected anyway, the messages will still be there when you get back! It isn't like talking to your grandma on the phone. You can scroll right up there and read the things you missed.

Seriously, if you're that worried about people wanting to talk to you while you're away and finding you unresponsive, it's a simple matter to set yourself away without public notifications and automatically inform people who /msg you that you're out. You can log anything sent to you privately, or even public messages that contain your nick! I mean, we're talking about 15 lines of trivial ircii script here, counting comments. And you don't annoy a single person!

Changing your nick is not ok, either.
The same thing goes for being a rabid nick-swapper:

*** randomgit is now known as git_lunch
*** git_lunch is now known as pssng_git
*** pssng_git is now known as githairct
*** githairct is now known as randomgit

We just don't care. No one on IRC has any misunderstandings about the nature of the medium. It's all about idle chatter. People do not assume that you're hovering there over your keyboard drooling over the next message to come down the pipe, or that you've got an 802.11 connection jacked straight into your skull just so you can instantly respond to their off-topic Enlightenment configuration questions at any time of the day.

Leave your nick the way it was. It's not cute, it's not helpful, and it's just confusing to people who come in looking for you later.

That said, changing your nick is a lesser sin than public /away messages, because it's easy to filter out.

Auto-away messages are the spawn of Satan.

* randomgit is away: (Auto-Away after 10 mins) [BX-MsgLog On]

DO NOT MAKE ME KILL YOU!!!

Someone needs to beat panasync six miles deep into hard granite for even thinking about making that a BitchX default. I mean, what was he thinking?! That is the single-most annoying misfeature I can think of in recent software history excepting Microsoft Chat in comics mode. How's that for company? Mirc, in all its pristine glory (praise khaled!), is far less annoying than that.

Here's a tip: if you don't want your IRC experience cut tragically short, do this:

$ echo set auto_away off >> ~/.bitchxrc

The world will be forever indebted to you for it. Or else it will ban you from all its channels.
