Bush search continues for the boy who walked alone

`David Iredale did not behave in the way of most people when bushwalking in dense scrub.

Instead of sticking with his two mates, the 17-year-old, who has been lost for a week in the Blue Mountains, adopted a practice of walking ahead, leaving them to trek behind until he found a place to sit down and wait for them.

“He would go ahead and wait,” he said. “He was faster than the others. On this occasion he went ahead to fill up with water at the Kedumba River.

“When his companions got there, he was not there. They assumed he had gone ahead. Soon afterwards, David made the call on his mobile phone that he was lost.”‘

Bear attack in Croatia

‘A bear cub attacked two people, including a 19-year-old German volunteer, at a sanctuary in Croatia on Saturday, injuring both of them, police said. The bear was then shot by a visitor of the orphanage in Kuterevo in central Croatia. The cub — one of four taken care of in the only such bear sanctuary in Croatia — first attacked the German volunteer, who was not identified, police said. When the head of the orphanage, Ivan Crnkovic, ran to help her, the bear turned on him. The volunteer, one of many who come to Kuterevo to take care of the cubs, was treated in a local clinic with minor injuries. Crnkovic suffered leg wounds, but was not in life threatening condition, Dr. Damir Stiglic said.’

I’m curious about what the chainsaw guy was gonna do, and why he didn’t do it.

Push to ban sale of drug paraphenalia

`The Federal Government wants to ban the sale of marijuana pipes and so-called “cocaine kits”.

But the Parliamentary Secretary for Health, Christopher Pyne, admits he faces an uphill battle.

His demand for a ban follows a meeting of the National Cannabis Strategy Group six months ago which called for “closer and more appropriate regulation of drug paraphernalia”.

He said he was concerned regular display of such equipment in shops reduced public concern about the impact of drugs on young people and sent a tacit signal the Government approved of drug use.’

Green group stumped by lack of land for its trees

`Saving the world can take up a lot of space.

Greenfleet, one of the nation’s leading organisations helping individuals and companies offset carbon emissions, has for nearly three years been unable to find enough NSW land to plant the trees its subscribers have paid for.

As new subscriptions flood in, the not-for-profit group is searching for landholders willing to join the scheme and establish forests on their property.

At first, Greenfleet told the Herald it had a NSW backlog of about 88,000 trees that needed to go in the ground in the name of climate change prevention.’

Student Accused Of Putting Bodily Fluids In Food

`At Wheaton North High School the mission is to create self-directed students who make sound decisions. Last week one of those students decided to do the unthinkable when officials say he spiked a container of cafeteria salad dressing with his own semen. [..]

“The whole school is disgusted,” said senior Brian Corcoran.

“That’s got to be the sickest thing I’ve ever heard in my life,” said Nick Anderson, also a senior student.

“It’s just pretty gross that someone would actually do that,” said senior Edward Lee. [..]

They say the student admitted he put the semen into a container of ranch dressing in the student commons dining area. And officials have determined that the contents could have been ingested during the last lunch period on Wednesday and during all five lunch periods on Thursday.’

Mum sues over ruined nude pics

`A German woman is suing a foster agency, after her teenage foster son ruined valuable naked photos of her – by comitting an act of self-love all over them.

Marietta Anton, 50, who now lives in Portugal’s Algarve, was 25 when she was photographed naked by her boyfriend at the time, Sigmar Polke. After they split Polke went on to become a world famous artist, and the old pictures were valued at over £35,000.

But when Anton’s 15-year-old foster son Mehmet found the old snaps, he thought he had unearthed a secret porn stack, and proceeded to do what teenage boys will do.

In news that seem likely to keep local psychiatrists busy for a while, he did not realise who the model was whilst enjoying himself with the pictures.’

Woman loses 10 lbs of skin to spider bite

`A small spider bite turned out to be a big problem for Cindy Pettey. Pettey awoke when she was bitten on the stomach in the middle of the night a few weeks ago, but thought little else of it. Then she started running a fever, she felt achy and weak. The bite sore became larger.

Next thing Pettey knew, a doctor was telling her he believed she’d been bitten by a dangerous hobo spider.

Pettey had surgery that removed 10 pounds of skin and flesh, leaving her with an abdomen covered in stitches.’

The Piddler on the roof

`Pranksters drew a willy on the roof of a top school that was so large it could be spotted from space. But it went unnoticed until it was seen on Google Earth.

A group of ex-pupils was last night blamed for the rude shape — snapped by satellite.

One former pupil of £2,906-a-term independent Yarm School at Stockton on Tees, Teesside, said: “A couple of ex-students hopped over the school fence on a weekend and went unnoticed by guards.

They managed to get on the roof of the Friary building and somehow mark on the willy. They also burnt a manhood into the grass.”’

Government resists altering money for blind people

`The Bush administration on Tuesday asked a federal court to overturn a lower-court ruling requiring the federal government redesign the nation’s paper money to help blind people differentiate between denominations of bills. [..]

In its appeal, the Bush administration disagreed with Robertson’s ruling that blind people were denied “meaningful access” to money by the same-sized bills because portable currency readers exist to help distinguish the bills. The government also said blind people can use credit and debit cards instead of cash.’

Malaysian man stranded for hours atop billboard

`A Malaysian man was left perched atop a seven-meter (23-foot) billboard for nearly seven hours after an accomplice who was helping him steal its spotlight fled the scene, reports said.

His partner in crime ran off — carrying both the light and the ladder — when police spotted the pair in a southern Kuala Lumpur suburb early Sunday, the Star daily reported.

But he refused to come down, swinging at would-be rescuers with a steel rod during nearly seven hours of negotiations with authorities.’

Deadly ‘iku iku byo’ reaches a climax

`Growing numbers of Japanese women are afflicted with an illness that gives them orgasms virtually 24 hours a day. And with suggestions that it could be deadly, the women hardly know whether they’re coming or going, according to Shukan Post (11/24).

“If a guy simply taps me on the shoulder, I just swoon. Even when I go to the toilet, my body reacts. I’m a little bit scared of myself,” one woman sufferer tells Shukan Post.

Another adds: “When I got on the train one day, I could feel blood gushing toward a certain part of my body and it felt so good I almost let out a moan. It was sheer murder when everybody got pushed into the carriage.”‘

Falling pants betray shoplifting suspect

‘A teenager arrested for shoplifting had filled her pockets with so many items that her weighted-down pants dropped to her ankles as she tried to run out of the store, police said.

Cheyanne E. Dwiggins, 18, is accused of trying to steal several pieces of candy, kitchen utensils and a 15-ounce box of strawberry Nestle’s Nesquik from Bauer’s Market in Lapel, about 25 miles northeast of Indianapolis. [..]

Police found a potato peeler, ice cream scoop, a set of measuring spoons, two cake decorating gel tubes and six Rollo candy bars on Dwiggins. At the Madison County Jail, a deputy removed a can of Nesquik that Dwiggins had placed in her crotch, according to court documents.’

Same thing seemed to have happened elsewhere, but comes with pictures: Caught with her pants down.

Please explain jail record, US tells Pauline

`Pauline Hanson is furious with immigration policy again – but this time she’s on the outside looking in.

The former One Nation leader is battling US red tape as she seeks to become a refugee from the hot Australian Christmas.

“I had planned a holiday in Manhattan but because of the time I spent in prison there is a problem with the visa,” she said. [..]

“I was furious when I found out – absolutely furious. I might even have to have my fingerprints taken before they will let me in,” she said.

Ms Hanson was looking forward to a white Christmas. “I want to enjoy that real Christmas feeling, you don’t really get it in Australia.”‘

Condoms ‘too big’ for Indian men

`A survey of more than 1,000 men in India has concluded that condoms made according to international sizes are too large for a majority of Indian men.

The study found that more than half of the men measured had penises that were shorter than international standards for condoms.

It has led to a call for condoms of mixed sizes to be made more widely available in India.’
