Bucks night stripper not guilty of rape

A Melbourne stripper has been found not guilty of using a dildo to rape the best man at a buck's night.
Linda Maree Naggs, 40, pleaded not guilty to violating the man's anus during a naked XXX-rated show in a house in Mornington on September 24, 2007.
A jury of six men and six women took one hour and 50 minutes to clear her of the charge.
Ms Naggs, a working mother and professional dancer of 13 years of Rosebud West, cried and dabbed her eyes when she heard the verdict.
The County Court jury had been asked to decide the crucial issue of deliberate penetration against the suggestion of possible "accidental rape".

He said the teacher was upset when she found that her model student had a cigarette and a lighter in his locker in the school in the northern island of Langkawi.
The boy also smelled of cigarettes, said a school official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the press. He said the school apologized to the boy's uncle, who lodged a police report when he found out about the punishment.

Save water - Pee in the shower
New television ads in Brazil are encouraging people to save water - by urinating in the shower.
Brazilian environmental group SOS Mata Atlantica says the campaign, running on several television stations, uses humor to persuade people to reduce flushes.
The group says if a household avoids one flush a day, it can save up to 4,380 liters of water annually, reports Metro.
SOS spokeswoman Adriana Kfouri said the campaign was "a way to be playful about a serious subject".
The ads feature cartoon drawings of people from all walks of life - a trapeze artist, a basketball player, even an alien - urinating in the shower.
Narrated by children's voices, the ad ends with: "Pee in the shower! Save the Atlantic rainforest!"

St. Petersburg man nearly kills himself cleaning toilet
The quest for a gleaming toilet and a lack of knowledge of chemistry led a 44-year-old man to accidentally create a deadly bathroom cleaner early Thursday morning.
The result: a hazardous materials team was called to clear Michael Newton's house before he was taken to Bayfront Medical Center complaining of shortness of breath and irritation to his lungs and eyes from the chlorine gas cloud he created.
Newton, of 4301 Tuna Drive SE, combined bleach and an ammonia-based product to "make a stronger bathroom cleaner," St. Petersburg Fire and Rescue spokesman Lt. Joel Granata said.
He was overcome moments after spraying the solution and called 911. He was waiting outside when numerous fire and hazardous materials crews arrived around 6 a.m.
Firefighters ventilated the house and scrubbed his walls to alleviate the strong stench of cleaning solutions, according to St. Petersburg Fire Rescue.
Exposure to the gas — which has been used as a weapon of mass destruction — can cause severe illness or death.
