`Growing numbers of Japanese women are afflicted with an illness that gives them orgasms virtually 24 hours a day. And with suggestions that it could be deadly, the women hardly know whether they’re coming or going, according to Shukan Post (11/24).
“If a guy simply taps me on the shoulder, I just swoon. Even when I go to the toilet, my body reacts. I’m a little bit scared of myself,” one woman sufferer tells Shukan Post.
Another adds: “When I got on the train one day, I could feel blood gushing toward a certain part of my body and it felt so good I almost let out a moan. It was sheer murder when everybody got pushed into the carriage.”‘

`Mankind has had less effect on global warming than previously supposed, a United Nations report on climate change will claim next year.
The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says there can be little doubt that humans are responsible for warming the planet, but the organisation has reduced its overall estimate of this effect by 25 per cent.
In a final draft of its fourth assessment report, to be published in February, the panel reports that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has accelerated in the past five years. It also predicts that temperatures will rise by up to 4.5 C during the next 100 years, bringing more frequent heat waves and storms.’

The incident took place in August 2004, when the quartet lassoed the bear before calling a hunter to kill it. Only three of the four appealed the lower court’s verdict.
Animal protection laws in Greenland, a semi-autonomous Danish territory in the North Atlantic, prohibit the capture of live animals in the wild.
The hunter was meanwhile fined 5,000 kroner for using an unauthorized rifle to put the animal down.’

`We have new information on the rape charges against a former Parker High School student. Seventeen-year-old Jerome Hunt faces 21 counts of rape and attempted rape. Each count carries up to 25 years in prison.
But Hunt’s lawyer Mike Butler claims the complaints came from fellow Parker wrestlers who were simply victims of a legitimate wrestling move. [..]
Hunt told investigators the accusations probably come from a wrestling move called a “butt drag” or “skinning,” which involves the wrestler placing pressure on the area of the rectum.
Hunt’s former assistant coach told investigators, “It’s not something illegal or not taught. It’s being taught all over.”‘

The Right Reverend Tom Butler, Bishop of Southwark, reportedly staggered home from an embassy function and climbed into the back of a stranger’s Mercedes, where he started throwing an infant’s toys. He was pulled out but toppled over and suffered several head wounds. Asked to explain himself, he is claimed to have said: ‘I’m the Bishop of Southwark.

A Google search for that phrase currently gives a link to www.moonbuggy.org/tag/piss/, which makes me laugh. :)
It’s down the bottom of the page, but still in the top 10. Heh. The only results above it at the moment are from the SMH, The Herald Sun and The Australian newspapers. :)
It’s probably not as funny as I think it is. But fuckyas. :)
The post Google probably wants to be pointing to is here: Taking the p out of PM snow joke

‘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.

All sorts of amusing winter mishaps.
