`The initial idea involved a pair of old sneakers, repurposed, to dynamically manipulate a sound file. Basically I wanted to build shoes that would BOOM! when you walked. The louder you stomp the louder the BOOM! In a sense — “giant” shoes.’

`Were these people crazy?? Yes, they were. It only went downhill from there. While I was walking toward the exit, unsatisfied customers began to grab at my bag. Just like that! They were acting as if I was just going to give it to them. There was no way anyone was taking this away from me. I was caught off guard in a game of tug-a-war when a security guard intervened and rescued me from the chaos.

He took me outside. And the crowd followed.

The security guard flagged a police car. I thankfully jumped in. And it was a police escort for me and my Wii back to work.’

The crowd doesn’t seem to mind that they’re about to be burnt alive. [shrug] 🙂

Is this a fashion shoot, or has she snorted a little bit too much cocaine? 🙂 Either way, there’s titties.

`Police in Elkins, Ark., have arrested a man who they said rigged a doorknob in his home so it would shock his wife.

Herbert Caldwell Jr., 44, is charged with installing a booby trap, domestic battery and terroristic threatening. Officers summoned to Caldwell’s home found electric fencing of the type used for cattle installed so a bedroom doorknob would shock anyone who touched it. It shocked the woman when she tried to enter the room.’

`Actress Natasha Lyonne, the star of American Pie accused of threatening to sexually molest a dog, turned herself in at a New York court today. [..]

In the court complaint, Lyonne’s former roommate claimed Lyonne trashed their apartment and then banged on a neighbour’s door, rushed into that apartment and picked up her dog, telling the woman: “I’m going to sexually molest your dog.”‘

Michael Crowley was the critic, and here’s a short section of Michael Crichton’s latest book:

‘Alex Burnet was in the middle of the most difficult trial of her career, a rape case involving the sexual assault of a two-year-old boy in Malibu. The defendant, thirty-year-old Mick Crowley, was a Washington-based political columnist who was visiting his sister-in-law when he experienced an overwhelming urge to have anal sex with her young son, still in diapers. Crowley was a wealthy, spoiled Yale graduate and heir to a pharmaceutical fortune. …

It turned out Crowley’s taste in love objects was well known in Washington, but [his lawyer]–as was his custom–tried the case vigorously in the press months before the trial, repeatedly characterizing Alex and the child’s mother as “fantasizing feminist fundamentalists” who had made up the whole thing from “their sick, twisted imaginations.” This, despite a well-documented hospital examination of the child. (Crowley’s penis was small, but he had still caused significant tears to the toddler’s rectum.)’

`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.’

`Rick Lisko hunts deer with a bow but got his most unusual one driving his truck down his mile-long driveway. The young buck had nub antlers — and seven legs. Lisko said it also had both male and female reproductive organs. “It was definitely a freak of nature,” Lisko said. “I guess it’s a real rarity.” [..]

When he looked at the animal, he noticed three- to four-inch appendages growing from the rear legs. Later, he found a smaller appendage growing from one of the front legs.

“It’s a pretty weird deer,” he said, describing the extra legs as resembling “crab pinchers.” [..]

“And by the way, I did eat it,” Lisko said. “It was tasty.”‘

‘The world’s tallest man has saved two dolphins by using his long arms to reach into their stomachs and pull out dangerous plastic shards.

Mongolian herdsman Bao Xishun was called in after the dolphins swallowed plastic used around their pool at an aquarium in Fushun, north-east China.

Attempts to use instruments failed as the dolphins contracted their stomachs. [..]

Chen Lujun, manager of Royal Jidi Ocean World, said Mr Bao was successful and the dolphins were “in very good condition now”.’

‘A kid decides to strip naked, jump over a flaming bush, off a cliff and into the lake below. He doesn’t give himself enough room to clear the rocks below and gets knocked out cold. He floats to the surface face down bleeding from a cut which needed 30 stitches.’

`A teenage hero told today of smothering the flames on a nine-year-old boy allegedly set ablaze after another youth doused him in petrol.

A doctor told the rescuer he probably saved the boy’s life, as another 10 seconds ablaze could have proved fatal.

Police said the victim was allegedly set alight by a 13-year-old acquaintance following an argument in the driveway of a home on Cook Avenue, Daceyville, about 5pm yesterday.

The boy suffered serious burns to his back and is in a stable condition.’

`Healthy new-born babies may have been killed in Ukraine to feed a flourishing international trade in stem cells, evidence obtained by the BBC suggests.

Disturbing video footage of post-mortem examinations on dismembered tiny bodies raises serious questions about what happened to them. [..]

A senior British forensic pathologist says he is very concerned to see bodies in pieces – as that is not standard post-mortem practice.

It could possibly be a result of harvesting stem cells from bone marrow.’

`Three teenagers have been fined 3,000 Danish kroner (400 euros, 530 dollars) by a Greenland court for lassoing a polar bear in a stunt they said they carried out because they were bored, the court said. [..]

The incident took place in August 2004, when the quartet lassoed the bear before calling a hunter to kill it. Only three of the four appealed the lower court’s verdict.

Animal protection laws in Greenland, a semi-autonomous Danish territory in the North Atlantic, prohibit the capture of live animals in the wild.

The hunter was meanwhile fined 5,000 kroner for using an unauthorized rifle to put the animal down.’

`We have new information on the rape charges against a former Parker High School student. Seventeen-year-old Jerome Hunt faces 21 counts of rape and attempted rape. Each count carries up to 25 years in prison.

But Hunt’s lawyer Mike Butler claims the complaints came from fellow Parker wrestlers who were simply victims of a legitimate wrestling move. [..]

Hunt told investigators the accusations probably come from a wrestling move called a “butt drag” or “skinning,” which involves the wrestler placing pressure on the area of the rectum.

Hunt’s former assistant coach told investigators, “It’s not something illegal or not taught. It’s being taught all over.”‘

‘From the Japanese late night show “Vermilion Pleasure Night” A geisha, teaches English for “everyday situations”. I doubt some of these phrases are used in everyday life though.’

The third phrase is hilarious. I’ve never used or heard anyone use it, but apparently it’s useful in everyday life so I should start using it. First rate. 🙂

This is an audio clip of a guy calling his ISP’s billing deparment. He was quoted a price of 0.02 cents per kilobyte for his data, but the ISP thinks 0.02c is equal to $0.02, and no one he speaks to can see any difference between cents and dollars.

This is a copy of some rambling email Lindsay Lohan apparently sent about the place. Sounds a bit like the drug crazed ramblings of an illiterate maniac if you ask me, but what would I know? 🙂

`Two parents have filed a lawsuit alleging school officials failed to protect their daughters from sexual assault by another girl in their kindergarten class.

The lawsuit claims both girls were subjected to repeated sexual abuse by the third girl during nap periods and on a playground in the fall of 2005.

It says the assaults took place even though the abusive girl’s mother had warned a school official that her daughter had been a victim of sexual abuse and might be a threat to other children.’

`A Welsh-speaking Elvis tribute act has been left all shook up after receiving death threats — because he is bald.

Geraint Benney said he got the warnings from extreme Elvis fans who claimed he was showing disrespect to The King.

`When pigs fly, indeed. Kevin Pugh, 20, of Cedar Bluff, has been fined $279 for tossing a pig over the counter at the Holiday Inn Express in West Point on Nov. 12. Pugh pleaded guilty Tuesday in city court to a charge of disturbing the peace.

West Point Police Lt. Danny McCaskill has said Pugh didn’t know the employees of the hotel. There was no evidence intoxication was a factor.

No one was hurt, including the pig, officers said.

“This was the silliest thing I’ve ever seen,” McCaskill said. [..]

McCaskill said there have been four late-night incidents involving animal-tossing at West Point businesses. Twice a pig was tossed and two of the incidents involved possums.’

`A feud between two families in a remote Northern Territory community escalated when more than 200 people attacked each other with axes, spears and homemade swords overnight. [..]

The two families had agreed to meet with the intention of reaching a peaceful resolution to their problems.

About 200 people turned up for the meeting in the stifling December heat but as the two groups gathered, police said one began to “taunt and verbally abuse” the other.

“The opposing family responded physically,” police said.

“The situation escalated with police frantically trying to disarm young men of axes, spears and homemade swords.”‘

‘This dude is insane. I am not sure what he thought would happen by soaking his jeans in gasoline and then running through a fire. I bet this kid has some serious burns after this.’
