Ten ways to sacrifice a virgin

`6) DROWN THEM IN A BARREL

Water is acceptable, but this method’s implied ostentation suggests something more sumptuous is required.

Mead, whisky or absinthe, should your budget stretch so far, are all worthy submergents. For less well-funded cults, Mateus rose and Daddies sauce will suffice if no-one’s checking the receipts.’

Young disabled girl ‘kept small’

`In a controversial treatment, doctors in the US have given a severely disabled child drugs to keep her small and ‘manageable’ for her parents.

In a report published in a medical journal this month, the doctors described a six-year-old girl with profound, irreversible developmental disability who was given high doses of estrogen to permanently halt her growth so that her parents could continue to care for her at home.

The controversial growth-attenuation treatment, which included hysterectomy, was requested by the child’s parents and initiated after careful consultation and review by an ethics committee. ‘

Tom Cruise Gets PWN3D. Again.

`Sumner Redstone – the head of Viacom, the parent company of Paramount Pictures – isn’t done ripping into Tom Cruise just yet. Nine weeks after he leveled Cruise in the press and effectively fired him from Paramount, Redstone says he doesn’t regret a thing:

“He was embarrassing the studio. And he was costing us a lot of money … (My wife), like women everywhere, had come to hate him … His behavior was entirely unacceptable … he just didn’t turn one [woman] off, he turned off all women, and a lot of men.”

Redstone estimates that Cruise’s public meltdowns cost Paramount between 100 and 150 million dollars, saying that “Mission: Impossible III was the best picture of the three, and it did the worst,” so he has no regrets if he embarrassed Cruise [..]’


Gay sex forces closure of store toilets

`The closure of customer toilets in a Myer store due to rampant homosexual activity has exposed a massive list of venues being used by members of a gay website as hook-up points.

Among the places listed as meeting spots for men “cruising for sex”, on squirt.org, is the Royal Australian Air Force’s Richmond base and Sydney Opera House’s toilets.

Management at Myer’s Sydney city store in Pitt Street were forced to close its level one toilet to the public because homosexuals were using the facility as a meeting point, often having sex in full view of other horrified users.’

Ring! Ring! It’s time to make love

`A new mobile phone available through Japan’s NTT DoCoMo can ring to let would-be mothers know when they reach the most fertile part of their monthly reproductive cycles.

By tapping in data on menstruation dates, the user can program the phone to alert her three days before ovulation and again on the day. The company warns that the calculations are based on average cycles.

The new phone comes after Japan’s fertility rate – the average number of children a woman bears in her lifetime – fell to an all-time low of 1.25 in 2005, sparking worries about a shrinking population.’

The Dog Who Loved to Suck on Toads

`A dog may be man’s best friend. But one dog, Lady, decided she needed more friends — and she found plenty in the knot of toads living at the local pond. A suburban family’s secret struggle with an uncommon addiction comes to light in this personal essay by NPR’s Laura Mirsch. [..]

“We couldn’t keep our dog’s addiction a secret any longer,” Laura Mirsch says. “The neighbors all knew that Lady was a drug addict, and soon the other dogs weren’t allowed to play with her.”‘


Miami Zoo Hosts Poop Exhibit

`Now on display is a 5,000-square-foot exhibit on excrement titled “The Scoop on Poop,” which invites visitors to explore the science of scat. The exhibit is filled with photos of animals in some of their most indelicate moments. Stool sample models abound: haylike football-sized balls (elephant), kidney-bean-looking pellets (porcupine) and coallike lumps coated with fur (black bear).

Beyond the “ick” factor, however, zoo officials and the exhibit’s creators say there is a lot of information being imparted. Visitors can smell the stench of flowers that mimic dung to attract flies for pollination. Videos include one of a hippo spreading its droppings around to mark its territory. Simple games include “Who Dung It?”’


Shatner likes Jeri’s ‘girls’

`William Shatner is obsessed with breasts, according to US TV star Jeri Ryan.

The blonde beauty revealed that when she worked with the ‘Star Trek’ actor on the hit TV series ‘Boston Legal’ he was only interested in talking about her ample bosom – which she nicknamed ‘The Girls’.

Asked whether they ever discussed the cult sci-fi film franchise she said: “Not really. He mainly talked about ‘The Girls’.”‘

Teen Arrested for Raping His Mother

`Police say a Marshall County teen raped his mother to get revenge on his brother.

Police say 19-year-old Gary Helms, Jr., raped his 45-year-old mother this past weekend at Willow Terrace Trailer Park on Doyle Drive in Albertville.

It’s a twisted crime that police say Helms admits.

“From what we understand the rape stemmed from an argument between him and his brother. And apparently they were arguing over a girlfriend. And the rape was some sort of retaliation towards his brother,” said Sgt. Jamie Smith of the Albertville Police Department.’

Elephants pass mirror test of self-awareness

`Elephants have been found to recognise themselves in a mirror, putting them in an exclusive club of self-awareness whose other members are great apes (including humans) and bottlenose dolphins. [..]

An 8ft mirror was put in the elephant enclosure at the Bronx zoo in New York and a watch kept on its three inhabitants. The first question was if they greeted their reflection as if meeting another individual – they did not make this mistake, and used the mirror to inspect themselves, for example, moving their trunks to look at the inside of their mouths.’
