Dubai court annuls marriage to 'bearded lady'
An Arab country's ambassador to Dubai has had his marriage contract annulled after discovering the bride was cross-eyed and had facial hair.
The woman had worn an Islamic veil, known as the niqab, on the few occasions the couple had met.
The envoy, who has not been identified, told a Sharia court her mother had tricked him by showing him pictures of the bride's sister.
He only discovered the deception when he lifted the woman's veil to kiss her.
The court had annulled the marriage contract but rejected a $130,000 (£83,000) compensation claim for gifts he had bought his intended, the report said.

Why do Idiot’s Always Return to the Scene of the Crime?

Don't try to place dog poop on the front porch of your neighbor.
That little stunt has landed Andrew Charles Donahue, 18 in deep doo-doo in Greeley.
Donahue, was booked early Sunday after he was caught red-handed with a bag of dog poop and matches headed for the front porch of Wayne Pickens
Early Sunday, Pickens said he called the cops on his neighbors - a bunch of university students who were partying too loud for Pickens liking.
Then, at 4:30 a.m. Sunday, someone rang Pickens' doorbell. When he went to the front door, Pickens saw his Sunday Denver Post ablaze on his front porch.
He extinguished the burning newspaper.
Pickens thought the pranksters might be back although he "assumed they weren't going to be that stupid."
He waited in ambush in his yard just in case.
Next door, he said, he could see the young men. A couple of guys were in the house, and two more were in the front yard with a flashlight picking up dog poop and putting it in a bag.
When they headed over to his house and were about to light the bag of poop, Pickens pounced. His wife - who had already called the cops - was snapping pictures.

Dentist trades drugs for drugs
A Jacksonville dentist is in jail, accused of trading prescriptions for crack cocaine.
The investigation into Dr. Richard Verrette began in November when a detective with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office began investigating several prescriptions.
Police said they were written to people who weren't patients at Verrette's office for such controlled substances as oxycodone and hydrocodone.
"He was using his drug pad, prescription pad, to write out prescriptions for OxyContin in exchange for crack cocaine," said Officer Mike McCall of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
Police sent an undercover officer posing as a crack dealer to make a deal, according to a police report. The officer gave the dentist a baggie of fake crack cocaine in exchange for two prescriptions.
Verrette was arrested Monday after the transaction. Deputies found a crack pipe and a container with cocaine residue in his pockets.

Babysitter Used Drain Cleaner to Quite a Crying Toddler

Drano is usually used to clear tough clogs in household drains.
But in the case of 20-month-old Suliaman Kirkland, it was used to kill, according to police.
Not even two years old, Kirkland was rushed to a Philadelphia children's hospital after his babysitter, Aaron Pace, doused a rag with the caustic substance and rubbed it onto his skin.
The drain cleaner was used as some sort of punishment, police say, because the boy had been uncooperative and was crying.
Pace, 33, has been charged with murder and related counts and remained in custody Monday.
Police say Pace, of North Philadelphia, was baby-sitting Kirkland.
Homicide Lt. Philip Riehl says relatives of the suspect discovered the child's injuries and called his mother.
The boy was rushed to St. Christopher's Hospital for Children in critical condition and died of his injuries Sunday.

'Catch me if you can' escaper gets nine months on sentence

A career criminal say he broke out of prison because he feared he would not get parole and wanted to show authorities he was not a danger to the community.
Kevin Polwart, 49, who was eight years into a 16-year sentence for aggravated robbery, was recaptured last Thursday after ecaping from Auckland Prison at Paremoremo on December 16.
In North Shore District Court yesterday, Polwart pleaded guilty to escaping and had another nine months added to his sentence.
Polwart was jailed for 10 years in 2000 for robbing a security van and stealing $600,000. He escaped in 2001 for 41 days during which time he held up another security van.
He was sentenced to a further six years when recaptured.
In court yesterday his lawyer Michael Levett handed a letter from Polwart addressed to the New Zealand Herald, to Judge Barbara Morris.
In the letter, Polwart said he was afraid he would not get parole when he became eligible next year because of a change in the Parole Act 2002 which allows the Department of Corrections to apply to the Parole Board to keep a prisoner beyond their final release date.
