The Fattest State In America
If you want to look at obesity trends, then the US is the place to visit.Because apart from a few Pacific islands, the US is the world leader in obesity.
It has the most obese population in the developed world, and the rate of increase is alarming.
So where to go in the US? You could choose any state. But one stands out more than most.
Mississippi in the Deep South is proud of its hospitality and of being the home of Blues music.
But one thing it is not proud of is being the fattest state in the union.

Shiga Prefecture's schoolgirls boast of skimpiest skirts in Japan
The rumors that schoolgirls in the central Japan prefecture wear the skimpiest uniforms of anywhere in the country. Local schoolboys seem to agree, saying one school in particular is known for its micromini uniforms.
"When the girls from the school all get off the train together in the mornings, it's a real sight to see," adding that many people deliberately go to look. "We call it the Schoolgirl Rush Hour in these parts." Shiga schoolgirls don't deny their reputation either.

Porn filmed in Japanese McDonald's? I'm rubbin' it!
McDonald's customers suspected something amiss when one guy pulled out his whopper. They knew for sure when he began partaking of fur burger. The upshot was four people trying to make an adult movie in a fast food outlet ended up getting arrested.
Arrested in the case earlier this month for indecent exposure and obstruction of business were Kunikazu Ishii, 52, the director, Nahoko Shimada, 21, an actress and dental nurse, and actors Yuya Ochiai, 29, and Makoto Nishizumi.

10 cops, 5 cars required to tame teen trio
A trio of feisty public schoolgirls have stirred up a ruckus after they attacked the police officer who told off two of them for riding together on the same bicycle.
The brouhaha broke out in Kasukabe, Saitama Prefecture, on the afternoon of April 12, after the police officer grabbed one of the girls and her two friends retaliated, kicking and spitting at the lawman.
One of the girls called her friends and asked them to rush to the scene to help, but the cop also called in reinforcements. It eventually took 10 male officers and five police cars to quell the 14-year-old trio.
One of the girls was thrown into a cop car, but she punched and kicked the interior before making a break for freedom through the open window of the passenger side door. She was quickly recaptured and slapped in handcuffs –- once an almost unthinkable treatment for a minor in Japan -- so she couldn't get away.

Newlyweds Spent Their Honeymoon In Jail
PITTSBURGH — A newlywed couple spent the night in separate jail cells — she in her wedding gown — after police said they brawled with each other, then members of another wedding party, at a suburban Pittsburgh hotel.
The fight started Saturday night after a reception when he knocked her to the floor with a karate kick in the seventh-floor hallway of a Holiday Inn — and escalated when she attacked two guests from another wedding party who came to her aid, police said.
She left with her father, still dressed in her white gown. Wielechowski left alone, sporting a swollen eye, tuxedo pants, a bloody T-shirt and one shoe.

Transient dies in motel, $263,000 found left behind
SHELDON, Iowa -- Police say a transient man who stayed at the Sheldon Motel left behind a surprising mystery -- $263,000. The Sioux County sheriff's office was called to the motel on March 31 to investigate the death of a man who lived there five months of the year. The investigation has turned into what sheriff's Sgt. Jamison Van Voorst is calling the most interesting case he's seen in his 14 years with the sheriff's office. As Van Voorst and Sheriff Dan Altena investigated the death of John Richard Grant, they discovered some papers, the back of a gold watch, and other belongings. Nothing they found in room 20 was too unusual they say. Then came the surprise. In two vinyl cassette tape cases was $263,000, most of it in $50 and $100 bills.
