A Washington man tried to pay a more than $200 traffic ticket by sending a plastic bag filled with coins and urine to a county billing office, deputies said.
"That's something I can't wrap my mind around," said Sgt. Phil Anderchuk, of the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office. "The thought process of acting consciously -- consummating the act of urinating in a box full of coins that someone is going to receive."
The man didn't break any postal laws by mailing the combination of urine and change to the Multnomah County court in Portland. Postal officials said it is legal to mail urine or other bodily fluids as long as they are packaged properly in a way that doesn't leak or smell. County employees said the package was wrapped tightly until it reached the courthouse mailroom and didn't smell until it was opened.
Because of a policy of only accepting up to $20 in change, court workers returned his money -- postage due.

"No Toilet, No Bride"
The slogan in Hindi "If you don't have a proper lavatory in your house, don't even think about marrying my daughter" - has been plastered across villages in the region as part of a drive to boost the number of pukka facilities. In a country where more households have TV sets than lavatories, it is one of the most successful efforts to combat the chronic shortage of proper plumbing.
That is probably partly because of the country's skewed sex ratio, with 8 per cent more men than women, leading to a "bride shortage". Woman generally have also become more vocal in their resentment at having to relieve themselves outside, giving brides more leverage in premarital bargaining.
In India it is estimated that more than 660 million people still defecates in the open - a big cause of a host of diseases, from diarrhoea to polio. It is women, activists say, who suffer the most. Women who must go outside have to do so before sunrise or after nightfall so they can't be seen.

Priest is sentenced to prison for church theft
The Rev. Francis Guinan told a jury he could spend his Delray Beach church's money however he wanted, on trips to Las Vegas, expensive dinners and golf outings. He insisted it was normal to lie in church bank records, create secret slush funds and walk away from the offertory with wads of cash.
Palm Beach Circuit Judge Krista Marx had one word Wednesday for those claims: "Malarkey.""These excuses, the myriad excuses, it's malarkey," Marx said.
"You are in this situation because of your unmitigated greed and unmitigated gall."
Marx sentenced Guinan to four years in prison and ordered him to repay $99,999 to St. Vincent Ferrer Catholic Church. It was the maximum amount she could require him to pay.
