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".

Prepare to be Shocked

Tourists in Israel saw three horses galloping down the highway before they had a run-in with an oncoming car. As they neared an oncoming car, one of the animals leapt over the vehicle, crashing into the front window. However, as the driver had stopped the car on seeing the horses, the impact of the crash wasn't severe. The driver was taken to a nearby hospital with minor cuts, while the horse was also injured slightly.

Teacher Forces Student to Smoke 42 Cigarettes in 2 Hours
A Malaysian teacher forced a student to smoke 42 cigarettes in two hours as punishment after finding the boy had a cigarette and lighter.
A school official confirmed that the English teacher subjected the student to the unusual punishment but said the teenager was made to smoke fewer than 42 cigarettes. He declined to elaborate.
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.
"This is not normal. We don't do that often," the official said.

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.

Hitching a Ride

The Human Male Shrub and the Female Shrubette

His costume of straggly weeds is a far cry from the sleek outfits sported by traditional superheroes, yet his mission to transform neglected public gardens is just as admirable.
But now it seems that, like most crusaders, the green-fingered campaigner known only as the Human Shrub does not work alone.
Yesterday the gardener turned up at a shabby communal garden with a trusty sidekick – his wife, Mrs Shrub.

She arrived decked out in the trademark foliage suit, teamed with a bright pink apron and a tray of cherry bakewell tarts.
The pair had organized a party of volunteer gardeners to descend on the scruffy patch of land in Hubert Road in Colchester, Essex. The team – rounded up through social networking site Facebook – spent the morning sprucing up the patch, weeding and planting donated shrubs and flowers.

Prostitutes are more trustworthy then Politicians
China's prostitutes are better-trusted than its politicians and scientists, according to an online survey published by Insight China magazine.
The survey found that 7.9% of respondents considered sex workers to be trustworthy, placing them third behind farmers and religious workers.
"A list like this is at the same time surprising and embarrassing," said an editorial in the state-run China Daily.
Politicians were far down the list, closer to scientists and teachers.
Insight China polled 3,376 Chinese citizens in June and July this year.
"The sex workers' unexpected prominence on this list of honor... is indeed unusual," said the China Daily editorial.
"At least [the scientists and officials] have not slid into the least credible category which consists of real estate developers, secretaries, agents, entertainers and directors," the editorial said.
Soldiers came in fourth place.

Hand sanitizer sparks drunk driving warning
As Margie Sutherland lathered on a hand gel to ward off swine flu she had no idea it would land her in a spot of bother with police. Last Thursday the Uruti School principal failed a roadside breath test after it was presented to her by an unimpressed police officer.
But despite sitting in a car that "smelled like a brewery" Mrs Sutherland hadn't drunk a drop instead she had just rubbed a 65 per cent ethyl alcohol hand sanitiser on herself and her licence. "I wound down the window and the smell must have hit him in the face. The stuff smells like a big gin," she said.After being told by the officer "we take drink driving very seriously", Mrs Sutherland said she was then accused of having "had a few drinks" and given an initial "talk in to breath test".
"He got the machine and I just couldn't stop laughing and big red fail came up," she said. Imagine being drunk and disorderly on hand sanitiser! He probably thought I was trolleyed by then."
After a second "blow in to" test, Mrs Sutherland was cleared and explained to the officer it must have been the sanitiser. "I said to him after the day I've had, a few drinks doesn't sound too bad," she said. "I would never drink and drive, I take it very seriously, I'm the last person who would do it."Perfume and cologne have been known to have the same effect on the testers as when in passive mode, they pick up traces of alcohol in the air. A police spokesperson said officers were recently warned that the increasingly popular use of sanitiser would produce a positive result on the tests.

Climate change protesters glue themselves together
A group of climate change activists were arrested after supergluing themselves together outside a Government department in support of workers staging an occupation at a wind turbine factory.

The protesters, who held up banners saying "Take back the wind power", said they blockaded the main entrance to the building for over two hours before they were arrested
