strange but true bedtime stories!

BERLIN (Reuters) - A German farmer confessed to feeding the corpse of an elderly family friend to his pigs and then stealing from his bank account, police said Monday.

Police ruled out murder and the 29-year-old farmer has been charged with improper burial and fraud.

The elderly friend died in the farmer's yard in February 2005 and the farmer, through his mother, had power-of-attorney giving him access to the dead man's bank account and pension.

The farmer initially put the corpse in a deep freezer, police in the German town of Frizlar-Haddamar said, and told curious locals the old man was in a nursing home.

"From lectures about various religions the 29-year-old knew that Buddhists either burn the dead or allow wild animals to eat them. That was how he decided to feed the corpse to his pigs," the police statement said.

He let the corpse thaw, dismembered it and fed it to his pigs. He put the parts the pigs did not eat into a sack and buried it.

The farmer told police "it was a great act of stupidity" and said "the only explanation was his difficult financial situation at the time."


SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A 22-year-old Californian man who received oral sex from a sixteen-year-old girl should not be forced to register for life as a sex offender, the California Supreme Court ruled on Monday.

The state's top court found that California denied Vincent Hofsheier equal protection under the law because those having intercourse in such circumstances would not be forced to register as lifetime sex offenders.

Hofsheier appealed after being ordered to register his name on the list, which is shared with the public and carries significant stigma.

"Requiring mandatory lifetime registration of all persons who, like defendant here, were convicted of voluntary oral copulation with a minor of the age of 16 or 17, but not of someone convicted of voluntary sexual intercourse with a minor of the same age, violates the equal protection clauses of the federal and state Constitutions," the court ruled.

"We perceive no reason why the legislature would conclude that persons who are convicted of voluntary oral copulation with adolescents 16 to 17 years old...constitute a class of 'particularly incorrigible offenders'... who require lifetime surveillance as sex offenders."

U.S. law on oral sex has evolved over the years, and it was not until 1975 that oral sex between consenting adults was decriminalized in California. Today, in 38 of the 50 U.S. states consensual sex with a 16- or 17-year old is legal.

In the case, Hofsheier pleaded guilty and received probation after meeting the teenager in an Internet chat room and sharing rum and orange juice with her at a beach.

The California Supreme Court's decision returns the case to a lower court to decide whether he should still be subject to registration under that court's discretionary authority. HONG KONG (Reuters) - More than 100 South American thieves have descended on Hong Kong to target the city's annual jewelry show, the South China Morning Post Tuesday quoted a police source as saying.


HONG KONG (Reuters) - More than 100 South American thieves have descended on Hong Kong to target the city's annual jewelry show, the South China Morning Post Tuesday quoted a police source as saying
Their tactics range from simply stealing bags while their owners are not looking to distracting them by spraying tomato ketchup on their clothes, the newspaper said.

Crime syndicates from Chile, Colombia, Peru and Venezuela were active both inside and outside the convention center where the show started Monday, working in teams of three or four and wearing business suits, the police source was quoted as saying.

They were believed to be targeting show exhibitors toting valuables to and from the venue, it said.

"Their common tactics are simple. They steal unattended briefcases and bags while victims are having breakfast or having a drink in a coffee shop or restaurant," the newspaper quoted the source as saying.

"They also distract victims by spraying tomato sauce on their clothing or dropping bundles of banknotes on the ground before grabbing valuables and fleeing."

Saturday, a 55-year-old man lost a bag containing $40,000 in a shop in central Hong Kong while trying to pick up three $100 bills left by a gang of four South American men, it said.

The newspaper said several South American men had been arrested in recent days for stealing bags. Police believed they were jewel thieves, and may have been robbing people to pay for their expenses during the show.



I went to the petco store yesterday to get a nail clipper for the cat, having newly discovered that ya gotta clip the cats nails every now and then! thanks, chaosdaily!!!

so, i came home, confident in the fact that i can do this all by myself, and the cat would enjoy this; after all, he was starting to get stuck in the rug!! hehehehe!!! i actually thought that the cats grooming methods would take care of this.

anyhoo. i got the clippers. i got the cat sat down on a chair. im ready to start snipping.

creamsicle started squirming and putting up a fight!! he simply would not sit still!! so, after a 1/2 hour of trying to do this simple task, i call the vet to see how much it would cost to bring the cat down there to trim his nails. they told me it would cost $10.97 cents!! woo woo!!! thats a deal!! here i was thinking like 50 bux or something!!

so, now. time to get the carrier out, and get the cat in there, and go!
cats have loOOOoong memories!!! i went in the closet to get the carrier, and dontcha know, as soon as creamsicle saw the carrier, he knew what was up!! hehe!! he started to run like hell!! but, this being a small place, and not very many places to hide!! it only took me 15 minutes to get him in the carrier this time!! heheh!

and doncha know, when we got to the vet's it only took them less than 5 minutes to clip his nails!!! dang!! in and out!! i actually checked his nails to see if they really done em!! it was so fast!! and cheap too!!

now, his nails are clipped, he aint getting stuck in the rug no more, and i aint gonna get carved up when i pick him up now!! hehhee!!!
