Small Bits of News You Didn’t Know you Needed
Police Officer Suspended for Having Sex on the Job
Tracy Breiner said her husband was just following orders when he had intercourse with a woman while investigating two spas for reports of prostitution, according to the Beaumont Enterprise.
Officer Keith Breiner maintains that the Beaumont Police Department asked him on April 1 to perform sex acts as part of the undercover investigation. He also says that every time he engaged in sexual activity in the investigation he documented in reports and received no objection from the department, the Beaumont Enterprise reported.
The spas were raided on May 7 and Internal Affairs began investigation into the sting operation about a week later. Breiner and Lt. David Kiker were later suspended without pay indefinitely on July 21 for engaging sexual activity during the investigation, according to the Beaumont Enterprise.
Lt. Curtis Breaux and Sgt. Robert Roberts were both suspended without pay for five days for failing to oversee the investigation properly and failure to notify department heads of the case.

Man buys Chevy with Change
An Ohio man with a hatred of paper money slapped down $8,000 in coins at a car dealership to buy a Chevrolet pick-up - then paid the rest by check.
James Jones, 70, produced 16 coffee cans full of coins to buy his new Chevrolet Silverado in Cincinnati and staff spent 90 minutes counting it.
But his coin hoard only covered half of the $16,000 price tag.

Eat rats says Indian official
An welfare official has advised poor people to farm rats to eat as a way to beat rising food prices.
Vijay Prakash, the welfare minister in Bihar state in eastern India, said he wanted to set up rat farms and sell the meat to upmarket hotels, street stalls and restaurants.
The project will start with stalls in rural fairs followed by "rat meat centers" in urban areas.
The 2.3 million members of the Musahar caste, one of the poorest in India, have traditionally eaten rats that they hunted in paddy fields.
Now Mr Prakash says rich people should also sample the meat, which he said was full of protein and tasted better than chicken.
"Some socially deprived people in Bihar have always consumed rat meat," he said. "If they can eat rats, why can't the rest of the people?"

Al-Qa'eda in Iraq alienated by cucumber laws and brutality
Al-Qa'eda is losing support in Iraq because of a brutal crackdown on activities it regards as un-Islamic - including women buying cucumbers.
Besides the terrible killings inflicted by the fanatics on those who refuse to pledge allegiance to them, Al-Qa'eda has lost credibility for enforcing a series of rules imposing their way of thought on the most mundane aspects of everyday life.
They include a ban on women buying suggestively-shaped vegetables, according to one tribal leader in the western province of Anbar.
Sheikh Hameed al-Hayyes, a Sunni elder, told Reuters: "They even killed female goats because their private parts were not covered and their tails were pointed upward, which they said was haram.
"They regarded the cucumber as male and tomato as female. Women were not allowed to buy cucumbers, only men."

India's 'fragrant' rubbish dumps
Authorities in the western Indian city of Mumbai (Bombay) have been dousing rubbish dumps with perfume to lessen the putrid stench.
Municipal workers have been spraying two landfills in the city with herbal perfume for the last six months after residents complained of the stink.
Locals say perfuming the rubbish has lessened the stench. Environmentalists say it is an unsustainable solution.
Mumbai has a population of nearly 18 million, and generates 8,500 metric tonnes of rubbish every day. Nearly 500,000 people live near rubbish landfills.
Officials say that the stench from the landfills in Deonar and Mulund was so great that local residents started protesting.
So the authorities hit upon the novel idea of dousing the landfills with perfume to kill the stench.
A herbal perfume diluted with water is sprayed over the landfills almost every day.
The perfume costs $114,000 for 42,000 liters, which is required to "perfume" the landfills for between six to eight months.

Bigfoot Trackers Say They've Got a Body
Bigfoot may have been found. Maybe. We'll see.
Two Northern California men and two Georgians say they've got a body, a photo and DNA evidence pertaining to the elusive forest-dwelling man-ape — and that they'll reveal all at a press conference in Palo Alto, Calif., on Friday.
"I think you'll find that this is the real deal," Robert Barrows of Redwood City, Calif., told the Bay City News local wire service.
Matthew Whitton, a cop in Clayton County, Ga., and his friend Rick Dyer, a former corrections officer, say they recently found the body in the woods of northern Georgia.
Veteran Bigfoot tracker Tom Biscardi said he's examined the body, and that scientists will get their chance soon

This One Is for the Birds
Poo Facial Promises Smoother Skin
If you've ever had bird poo drop from the sky and onto your head — heck even if you haven't — it's probably pretty hard to imagine forking over almost $200 to have someone massage bird doodoo into your face for the better part of an hour.
The Geisha Facial doesn’t contain just any run of the mill pigeon poo. It’s made from dried nightingale droppings imported from Japan and mixed with rice bran.

Dog guards her owner for 6 weeks after he dies
In an amazing display of loyalty, officials now believe a German shepherd dog stayed at her master's side for six weeks after the man had killed himself out on the prairie.
The dog, "Cash," was found alive Sunday, next to the body of her master, Jake Baysinger, 25, a resident of La Salle before his life ended on the Pawnee National Grassland.
Sara Baysinger has a 2-year-old son, Lane, who was happy to see Cash come home. "He's very close to that dog," Sara Baysinger said. "He's very happy to see (Cash)."
The dog was friendly when found, although she was thin and dehydrated, deputies said. She was checked at the humane society, and Baysinger said she had their own vet check the dog, also.
Investigators also said the dog probably protected her master's body by keeping coyotes away.

Man lived in luggage locker for nine years
A homeless man in Germany has been jailed after living for the past nine years in a luggage locker at a railway station.
Mike Konrad, 29, called locker 501 at Duesseldorf station his home for almost a decade. Every evening since he walked out on his girlfriend in 1999 he has gone feet-first to bed, crawling into the 50cm by 60cm metal locker to sleep in a space meant to be reserved for passengers' suitcases.
He had been ejected from his unlikely bed by station security staff 200 times and the authorities finally decided to take action and prosecute him for trespassing.
Mr Konrad said in court that he had been locked in the locker by youths "more times than I can remember" and had to rely on station staff to free him.
"I always went to sleep in it with the door slightly ajar," he told a court in the Rhineland city. "But kids liked to lock me in for a laugh."
The two euros it cost him to open the locker was normally refunded by the machine in the morning if the door wasn't closed, he said.

The Pill may change women's choice in men
The contraceptive pill changes a woman's choice in men, a study suggests.
Scent tells men when women are fertile
Symmetrical human faces are more beautiful
Attractive women are more than just a pretty face
Scientists believe taking the pill changes the way a woman reacts to a man's smell.
One consequence could be that they are more attracted to partners with whom it will be harder to conceive if they want children.
A man's aroma can give a clue to his type of genes and ability to fight disease, although it is complicated by factors such as soap and aftershave.

Man says he's porn inspector, demands free videos
A man claiming to be a police detective tried to get an adult novelty shop to give him free X-rated videos, saying he wanted to make sure the performers weren't underage, authorities said. He made three tries within nine days last month and was turned down each time. The store manager called police after the third try. Authorities said Monday that the man showed a badge and left a business card from the Longmont police "age verification unit." Cmdr. Tim Lewis said there is no such unit. The business card didn't have anyone's name on it, but the store gave officers surveillance video of the man. Police are looking for him.

Sweden relaxes rules on naming children
Swedish authorities say parents can now name their newborns "Budweiser" or "Metallica" if they so wish.
For decades, Swedish tax authorities had banned parents from naming their children after fast food chains, rock bands or their favorite brand of beer.
But tax authority spokesman Lars Tegenfeldt says the guidelines have been relaxed. He says "there is nothing negative about a name like Coca-Cola or McDonald's today. Authorities are drawing the line at giving children swear words for names. And forget about naming your child God, Allah or Devil.

Teen Bathing in Burger King Sink
A group of Burger King employees in Ohio are looking for new jobs after an Internet video surfaced of one worker bathing in a store sink.The video, which was posted on the Internet by an employee calling himself "Mr. Unstable," shows the teen taking a nude bubble bath in a large stainless steel sink as other employees and a store manager looked on. The video eventually made it to health officials, who were not amused..
Burger King’s corporate office released the following statement: "Burger King Corp. was just notified of this incident and is cooperating fully with the health department. We have sanitized the sink and have disposed of all other kitchen tools and utensils that were used during the incident. We have also taken appropriate corrective action on the employees that were involved in this video. Additionally, the remaining staff at this restaurant is being retrained in health and sanitation procedures."
"That's just wrong. It's a place where families come to eat," said Crystal Dodge, she use to eat at Burger King all the time. Who wants a Burger there now ?
