This is really strange
Mummified Body Found In Apartment 13 Years After She Died.
This incident recently came to light in Tula Oblast. It's anybody's guess how much longer the lady's body would've been laying on the couch if it hadn't been for a sewage problem in the building bringing out some inspectors. The lady didn't answer her door when called, so inspectors were called in.
They were blown away to see a mummified corpse lying on the couch. The lady's name was K. Praskov'ja, and she probably died 13 years ago at the age of 67.
Neighbors at first thought that she was in the hospital because she had been ill often. Then people had 'forgotten' all about her absence after awhile. Nobody noticed any smell because a window had been left open all these years.

Making the breast of it ... Danish ladies can now go topless
WOMEN in Copenhagen have won the right to swim and walk around topless in public pools.
Feminism may have its downsides but, as the latest victory shows, some things are clearly worth fighting for.
In Copenhagen yesterday, the city's Culture and Leisure Committee voted overwhelmingly to allow topless bathing.
Frank Hedegaard, of the Socialist People's Party, said: "I cannot understand what some people find so offensive about women's breasts."
The decision is the result of a year-long campaign by pressure group, the Topless Front, which says women should be treated the same as bare-chested men.
Campaign leader Astrid Vang, 20, who took her top off with others to protest at a leisure centre at Christmas, said: "We women would like to decide by ourselves when our breasts should be sexual and when not.
"In swimming pools they should not and that is why the breasts should not be covered - We will bathe topless just like men."

Sex, No thank you ... we're Japanese
Housewife Miyuki Yanagisawa cannot recall the last time she had sex with her husband. She is certain, though, that their physical estrangement can be measured in years, not months.
While she shares a room with the couple's two young daughters, her husband, a company employee, sleeps alone in another room, grateful for the chance to catch up on his sleep after another tortuously long day at work.
'As long as he is healthy and doing well at work, I can put up with the lack of affection,' Yanagisawa, 44 - who asked that her real name not be used - said of her decade-old marriage.
People trapped in sexless marriages blame long working hours, a claim backed up by global surveys of sexual activity conducted by Durex. According to the condom maker, Japanese couples have sex 45 times a year, well below the global average of 103 times.

Fetus Discovered in Bathroom of NYC Flight
HOUSTON — Authorities are investigating the discovery of what appears to be a fetus in the bathroom of a Continental Airlines plane that arrived in Houston on a flight from New York's LaGuardia Airport.
FBI Special Agent Shauna Dunlap said that while the plane was being cleaned about an hour after the plane landed Sunday, the cleaning crew found the fetus. The medical examiner's office will do an autopsy to determine if it was viable.
Dunlap said that if it is determined that a crime occurred, then the FBI will work with Houston police to determine where it occurred and continue from there.

Pair of kittens chases 200-pound bear up a tree
A 6-foot, 200-pound bear has been perched high above a Central Florida neighborhood for hours on Friday after it was chased up a tree by 6-month-old kittens."(The bear) was out looking for a place to live and got startled and took refuge in the tree," Florida Fish and Wildlife worker Tom Shupe said.
"(The kittens) had the bear just cornered at the fence and it saw the tree and just ran up the tree and has been there ever since," homeowner Jason Daniels said.
Officials from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission have been called to the scene to determine what to do with the bear, according to the Orange County Sheriff's Office.

What’s for dinner? “DRUGS”
CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. - A drug deal became dinner for one Port Charlotte man. The Charlotte County Sheriff's Office arrested 22-year-old Gregory Pascal after he allegedly sold drugs to officials, then chewed up the evidence. "We searched the vehicle and both persons and found nothing, so we assumed that he tried to make lunch out of his drug buying money," says Bob Carpenter of the Sheriff's Office. Detectives found the drug money, about a hundred dollars, mixed with marijuana in Pascal's mouth. He and a woman driving his car were both charged and transported to the Charlotte County Jail.

"Don't worry. This is my science project."
NEW YORK (AP) - A college student has apologized for causing a scare on a subway train when his science project short-circuited and started smoking in his backpack. Gregory Kats, 29, said the device was just a model of an elevator's inner workings. But it frightened riders. Kats said he tried to reassure his fellow passengers that it was a school project - not a bomb - but people scrambled for the exits. The box he was holding had a small battery, wires and a motor. "They were panicking, and I realized their fear," an apologetic Kats said. He said he tried to disassemble the contraption on the platform even as he reassured riders, "Don't worry. This is my science project." Kats was questioned by police and later released. Kats is a computer engineering student at the New York City College of Technology. "I'm very sorry for what happened."

Town Put Itself Up for Sale 5 Years Ago, Still Hasn't Found Buyer
MONSE, Wash. — Juli Doty had big plans for the little ghost town of Monse, just north of Brewster.
A Wenatchee Realtor, Doty listed the entire town for sale five years ago.
She knew the town's owners Donna and Fritz Van Doren and they asked her to sell it for them when they moved from Monse to East Wenatchee.
It was a sweet deal: $575,000 for 60 acres that included seven houses, an old schoolhouse, a general store and post office, all platted into 100 parcels for anyone who wanted to remake their own little town.

School Security Officer Tasers 11-Year-Old Girl
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — A Florida elementary school student was tasered Thursday after punching a school security officer during a fight.
The incident began when teachers at the Moss Elementary School in Orange County confronted an 11-year-old girl for allegedly attempting to push another student into ongoing traffic outside the campus.
Authorities say the young female ignored the teacher and walked inside the homeroom, where she was again approached by teachers over her behavior. The student responded by throwing a desk and chair and attempting to spit on the instructor.
Donna Hudepohl, a school resource officer called to remove the troubled girl from the classroom, was allegedly pushed and punched in the face during a struggle to restrain her.
Hudepohl responded by tasering the girl.
The student was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer, disrupting a school function as well as resisting with violence and is being held at the juvenile detention center.

Wired-In Guy Getting Set for a Big Date
We once dropped our hotel room key down the crack into an elevator shaft. We once dropped our car keys into a sewer grate. Heck, as long as we're confessing, we once dropped the Thanksgiving turkey on the floor. So, we relate to this peculiar story.
That's when I heard the clunk. My BlackBerry was in the toilet. Clean water, thankfully. I pulled it out as quickly as I could and shook it with all my might. The screen looked blurry, fading. I figured it'd be a good idea to pop the battery out.
This is a cautionary tale. It involves a BlackBerry in a toilet, a roommate with a hair dryer, a bowl of uncooked rice and a date who almost got stood up.

City refuses to accept toilet-paper check for $2,059.66
BINGHAMTON -- A Binghamton man was escorted out of the county office building on Wednesday after he tried to pay his water bill with a check -- neatly written on three squares of floral print, two-ply toilet paper.
North Side resident Ron Borgna has been wrangling with the City of Binghamton for 17 months over an outstanding water bill. That, plus a recently proposed 42 percent hike in city water rates, led Borgna to write a check for $2,059.66 on toilet paper to demonstrate his disgust with the water department.

Man facing charges for having sex with a picnic table
Police Captain Matt Johnson says Art Price, Jr., 40, was seen on 4 occasions between the hours of 10:30 a.m. and noon having sex with his picnic table. What makes this a felony, Johnson says, is that it took place in close proximity to a school, which made it likely that children could have seen Price. The neighbor -- who wishes to remain anonymous videotaped Price. "The first video we had, he was completely nude. He would use the hole from the umbrella and have sex with the table," Johnson says. There is a news video.

8-year-old girl with dentist phobia died after teeth surgery
A schoolgirl with a phobia of dentists died after refusing to eat or speak when she woke from surgery to find all her milk teeth had been removed.Sophie Waller, eight, never spoke again after the surgery, when dentists at the Royal Hospital Truro in Cornwall decided to take out all of her milk teeth to save her future trauma.
Her family is now demanding to know why an inquest has not yet been held into what caused her death in December 2005.
She had been taken to the hospital after breaking a tooth, but refused for days to open her mouth to doctors, traumatized by a phobia she developed three years earlier aged five after a dentist cut her tongue.
Following the operation she would only eat watermelon and would not speak to anyone. After three weeks her parents took her home, where she died a week later.
Her mother Janet Waller criticized the hospital, which has since been ranked as Britain's worst, and said that she had been given no answers as to what had killed her daughter.

I still hate going to the dentist even if it's a female with a funny mask.

Stolen boat leaves pupils swimming past crocs to get to school
A South African village is demanding that a bridge be built across a crocodile-infested river to stop children swimming it to get to school. Students as young as seven have been making the crossing for two months since the community's boat was stolen."There are about 70 households on that side of the river but there are no buses and no-one owns a car."
To cross safely would require a 20km (12 miles) detour to get to the school. On school days, 150 children from Sahlumbe village in the heart of rural Zululand swim across the river in their underwear using rubber tires and buckets to keep afloat and to keep their school uniforms and books dry. The older ones help the small ones who cling to the tires.
The children, some of whom also attend Mabizela High School, often arrive tired and unable to concentrate.
Man gets the "SHIT" scared out of him.
A Christchurch man was rudely interrupted yesterday when a four-wheel-drive vehicle crashed into his conservatory, knocking him off the toilet.The vehicle went backwards down a 10m bank about 6.55am yesterday after a builder working next door left the handbrake half-on.
"He came back to his vehicle and found it next door, basically," said Sergeant Kim Reid, of the Christchurch police."The vehicle's been parked and he's left it there. The vehicle has then run down the hill, gone through some trees and into this gentleman's property."Asked how the builder might be feeling, the man said: “What about me, I got knocked off the toilet? I got a hell of a fright."
