Woman fired for chronic flatulence (FARTING)
A woman from Leeds Metropolitan University was relentlessly taunted by colleagues about her chronic flatulence, a tribunal heard. An employment tribunal in Leeds was told yesterday that the woman - who cannot be identified because of a court ruling - suffered from severe irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) which led to an embarrasingly windy problem at work. But far from getting sympathy, she claims she was subjected to cruel jibes about a "terrible smell". And at one point, a colleague mocked her saying: "She opens the windows because she is stinking the place out", the woman's lawyers claimed. In another alleged incident, her line manager made an "unhumorous bowel joke" to another colleague in clear earshot of her. The hearing was told colleagues would make "exaggerated sniffing" noises when the claimant was in earshot and that her emails were bugged. But Mr Cole said those claims were "wild " and based on retaliation into the disciplinary procedures that had been started against her. The woman is claiming disability and racial discrimination against the university, as well as unfair dismissal and breach of contract. The case continues.

A man was sentenced to more than four years in prison for conning friends and family out of more than $800,000 by convincing them that his wife was a government agent who could arrange to have their medical problems diagnosed by satellite imaging. The Finley's convinced their victims that, if any medical problems were found, secret agents would administer medicine to them as they slept in exchange for payment, according to a bill of information filed when the Finleys were charged in May.
Brent Eric Finley, 38, of Rayville, was sentenced in federal court in Monroe to serve 51 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release. His wife, Stacey Finley, was sentenced in August to spend 63 months in prison and both are ordered to jointly pay restitution in the amount of $873,786.94.
U.S. Attorney Donald W. Washington said: "These audacious criminals should remind all of us that scam artists will go to great lengths to take our life's savings."
