`Health authorities in Madrid have acted to close a pro-anorexia website, accusing it of endangering the lives of teenage girls.

Four months after the city led the world in the Size 0 debate by banning ultra-skinny models from its catwalks, health officials are shining the spotlight on the growing number of “pro-ana” websites that glorify starvation diets.

Their first strike is against The Great Ana Competition, a website that awards a diploma to the girl who eats the fewest calories in a two-week period. They have filed a suit against the competition, which uses a scoring system that doctors said “would cause malnutrition in normal women”.’

`Three people were killed, at least two of them decapitated, and one seriously injured when a helicopter crashed into a restaurant carpark in the Camargue region in southern France, a local source said Sunday. [..]

The incident happened in the hamlet of Villeneuve when the Alouette 2-type aircraft carrying four people crashed Sunday afternoon.

“It was 15h30. The helicopter crashed onto parked cars close to the restaurant. The victims were the parents of a five-year-old girl. At least two of them were been decapitated,” said the source, a former AFP journalist.

`For anyone who thought the reason for Coca Cola’s popularity in the West due to it’;s secret ingredient (rumoured to have been cocaine at one time) think again.

`A French prisoner who killed his cellmate “very probably” ate some of the victim’s body parts, a prosecutor in the northern town of Rouen said on Friday.

The victim’s body was discovered in a prison cell on Wednesday, with a large wound to the chest. The alleged killer, who shared the cell, told investigators he had removed and eaten his victim’s heart.

Investigators initially discounted the possibility of cannibalism after the victim’s heart was “found intact in its usual place and in its membrane which was also intact,” Rouen state prosecutor Joseph Schmit said in a statement.

However an autopsy revealed that pieces of muscle from the victim’s rib area and part of his lung were missing.’

`Schoolboy Jack Double was hit with a £50 litter fine – for feeding a seagull half a chip.

Two zealous officials handed Jack, 14, an on-the-spot ticket after seeing him toss the halfeaten morsel at the hungry bird.

They even followed him to his school to enforce the penalty.

Yet three weeks earlier litter chiefs from the same council proudly awarded him a certificate praising him for binning rubbish.’

`Scientists said yesterday that they have used genetic engineering techniques to produce the first cattle that may be biologically incapable of getting mad cow disease.

The animals, which lack a gene that is crucial to the disease’s progression, were not designed for use as food. They were created so that human pharmaceuticals can be made in their blood without the danger that those products might get contaminated with the infectious agent that causes mad cow.

[..] In one experiment, tissues from one of the animals’ brains were grown in a culture dish and exposed to two different strains of infectious, mad cow prions. As expected, the bad prions did not propagate, according to a report in yesterday’s online issue of the journal Nature Biotechnology.’

`Over a thousand Turks spent the first day of the Muslim feast of Eid al-Adha in emergency wards on Sunday after stabbing themselves or suffering other injuries while sacrificing startled animals.

At least 1,413 people – referred to as “amateur butchers” by the Turkish media – were treated at hospitals across the country, most suffering cuts to their hands and legs, the Anatolia news agency reported.

Four people were severely injured, crushed under the weight of large animals that fell on top of them, the agency reported. Another person was hurt when a crane used to lift an animal tumbled onto him, the agency said.’

`The government has decided that food from cloned animals is safe to eat and does not require special labeling. [..]

Consumer groups say labels are a must, because surveys have shown people to be uncomfortable with the idea of cloned livestock.

`[..] statuettes of “El Caganer,” or the great defecator in the Catalan language, can be found in nativity scenes, and increasingly on the mantelpieces of collectors, throughout Spain’s northeastern Catalonia region, where for centuries symbols of defecation have played an important role in Christmas festivities.

During the holiday season, pastry shops around Catalonia sell sweets shaped like feces, and on Christmas Eve Catalan children beat a hollow log, called the tio, packed with holiday gifts, singing a song that urges it to defecate presents out the other end.’

`A hungry 10-year-old girl from India’s lowest Hindu caste had all the fingers of her right hand chopped off by an upper-caste landowner for taking a few spinach leaves from his field, the Hindustan Times reported today.

The attack took place in a village in Bhagalpur district last week in impoverished Bihar state in the east where caste prejudice against Dalits – formerly called “untouchables” – is widespread and sometimes results in violence against them.

Police in Bhagalpur, in eastern Bihar, said they would soon arrest the upper-caste landowner who used a sickle to wound the girl whose name was given as Khushboo.

“We will get results. This is terrible,” said police superintendent J. S. Gangwar, quoted by the newspaper.’

`Someone slipped a little something extra into a batch of cookies brought for a holiday party.

Earlier in the week, 15 workers at the Weyerhaeuser plant in Stayton were hospitalized after complaining of dizziness and light headedness.

Investigators determined that the illness was caused by employees eating homemade cookies they believe were intentionally baked with a foreign substance. They suspect the substance to be marijuana.

The Stayton police are offering a $500 reward for information that leads to an arrest in the case.’

`A local woman became seriously ill after unaccountably putting a lime inside a coconut, and then drinking both up, sources say.

The woman, identified as 38-year-old Tonya Northfield, is not believed to have any prior history of incidents involving large tropical fruits or citrus fruits. However, unique circumstances prompted her to put the lime in the coconut, and drink them both up.

“My brother bought a coconut,” Northfield said, “he bought it for a dime. “And I had a nice, fresh lime that had also cost only ten cents. Given the small monetary investment in the two fruits, and the fact that I wasn’t using them for anything else, it seemed only logical to put the lime in the coconut, and drink them both up.”‘

`Santa Claus was forced to swap his traditional red and white hat for protective headgear after children pelted him with mince pies in Scotland.

Santa was hit on the head by pastries thrown from a balcony as he handed out gold chocolate coins at a shopping center in the town of Paisley, near Glasgow, at the weekend.

“Health and safety is paramount,” center manager Andrew MacKinnon said on Wednesday. “We issued him with a yellow hardhat equipped with a pair of reindeer antlers to make it look more festive.”’

`Flora Zimbelman says it all started 54 years ago when she put an uncooked hot dog in her sister’s suitcase.

“I don’t know what made me do it. The devil I guess,” she said.

Flora’s sister, Rose, found the hot dog when she opened the suitcase back up in Idaho, where she lived at the time.

The game was on.’

`Twelve-year-old Beatrice returns from the fields with small animals she’s caught for dinner.

Her mother, Elizabeth, prepares the meat and cooks it on a grill made of three stones supporting a wood fire. It’s just enough food, she says, to feed her starving family of six.

Tonight, they dine on rats.

“Look what we’ve been reduced to eating?” she said. “How can my children eat rats in a country that used to export food? This is a tragedy.”‘

A portion of one of the stories:

`I didn’t watch them remove the carrot. It made my penis hurt to even think about it. He was yelling and screaming the whole time but I think it was more for attention than any pain.

When they were finished one of the nurses informed me that the cuts were all superficial ‘attention getters’ and had stopped bleeding on their own. Then she showed me the carrot. It was about half an inch across and as long as my pinky.

Me: “How the hell did he fit that in there?”

Nurse: “Practice, I guess.”‘

`Hell Pizza is not concerned by a call by a Catholic newspaper to boycott its products in response to a recent condom mail-out.

To promote its Lust pizza, Hell distributed 170,000 condoms, along with explicit instructions on their use, to homes around the country. [..]

As well as promoting Hell pizzas, the campaign was meant to draw attention to New Zealand’s high rate of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, Mr MacGibbon said. [..]

They weren’t worried about a possible boycott, and stood by Hell’s products, [the manager] said.

“If the Pope himself had tried the Lust pizza he might be a converted customer.”‘

`At Wheaton North High School the mission is to create self-directed students who make sound decisions. Last week one of those students decided to do the unthinkable when officials say he spiked a container of cafeteria salad dressing with his own semen. [..]

“The whole school is disgusted,” said senior Brian Corcoran.

“That’s got to be the sickest thing I’ve ever heard in my life,” said Nick Anderson, also a senior student.

“It’s just pretty gross that someone would actually do that,” said senior Edward Lee. [..]

They say the student admitted he put the semen into a container of ranch dressing in the student commons dining area. And officials have determined that the contents could have been ingested during the last lunch period on Wednesday and during all five lunch periods on Thursday.’

`Rick Lisko hunts deer with a bow but got his most unusual one driving his truck down his mile-long driveway. The young buck had nub antlers — and seven legs. Lisko said it also had both male and female reproductive organs. “It was definitely a freak of nature,” Lisko said. “I guess it’s a real rarity.” [..]

When he looked at the animal, he noticed three- to four-inch appendages growing from the rear legs. Later, he found a smaller appendage growing from one of the front legs.

“It’s a pretty weird deer,” he said, describing the extra legs as resembling “crab pinchers.” [..]

“And by the way, I did eat it,” Lisko said. “It was tasty.”‘

`Soy is feminizing, and commonly leads to a decrease in the size of the penis, sexual confusion and homosexuality. That’s why most of the medical (not socio-spiritual) blame for today’s rise in homosexuality must fall upon the rise in soy formula and other soy products. (Most babies are bottle-fed during some part of their infancy, and one-fourth of them are getting soy milk!) Homosexuals often argue that their homosexuality is inborn because “I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t homosexual.” No, homosexuality is always deviant. But now many of them can truthfully say that they can’t remember a time when excess estrogen wasn’t influencing them.’

‘A teenager arrested for shoplifting had filled her pockets with so many items that her weighted-down pants dropped to her ankles as she tried to run out of the store, police said.

Cheyanne E. Dwiggins, 18, is accused of trying to steal several pieces of candy, kitchen utensils and a 15-ounce box of strawberry Nestle’s Nesquik from Bauer’s Market in Lapel, about 25 miles northeast of Indianapolis. [..]

Police found a potato peeler, ice cream scoop, a set of measuring spoons, two cake decorating gel tubes and six Rollo candy bars on Dwiggins. At the Madison County Jail, a deputy removed a can of Nesquik that Dwiggins had placed in her crotch, according to court documents.’

Same thing seemed to have happened elsewhere, but comes with pictures: Caught with her pants down.

This guy eats teaspoons of different spices and gives them a rating out of 12.
