Munchies

Federal agents said Thursday that they shut down a factory that made marijuana-laced barbecue sauce, chocolate-covered pretzels and other "enhanced" snacks intended for medical users of the drug.

The Drug Enforcement Agency said it arrested three people Wednesday and is looking for a fourth who operated Oakland-based Tainted Inc.

Agents also seized 460 marijuana plants and other laced products including candy bars, cookies, marshmallow pies, ice cream, peanut butter, jelly, energy drinks and "Rice Krispy treats."

Tainted Inc. was launched by Michael Martin, 33, of El Sobrante as a small operation that made laced chocolate truffles. Those arrested were Jessica Sanders, Michael Anderson and Diallo McLinn. Martin is a fugitive, authorities said.

Authorities said the operation also had ties to Los Angeles pot clubs and believe it has ordered four tons of chocolate over the past two years to make marijuana-laced candy. Laced snacks are often more potent and longer lasting than smoked marijuana.

A Record Worth Breaking

A total of 1010 bikini-clad women made history at Bondi yesterday, where they broke a world record with the largest swimsuit photo shoot ever.

The event, which forms a new category in Guinness World Records, was watched by hundreds of spectators and an official adjudicator.

Guinness World Records representative Chris Sheedy said the shoot was "one of the more spectacular world records" he had been invited to.

"As an Australian myself, it's logical that any record involving sun, sand and surf should be held in this country," Mr Sheedy said.

"I imagine it will be quite an effort to better the mark set by Cosmopolitan at Bondi's world-famous beach, but we throw the challenge out to other countries around the world, to outdo this."

The shoot will appear in the January issue of Cosmopolitan, on sale on December 3, and will also feature in the next edition of the Guinness World Records book, out in September next year.

Snow Fuck

Nine months after back-to-back blizzards brought life to a near-standstill in much of eastern Colorado, some doctors and hospitals say they're seeing one more bit of fallout: lots of babies.

Avista Adventist Hospital, north of Denver, has even printed up blizzard-baby T-shirts for newborns. Ricky Lee Romero, born Tuesday, has one.

Blizzards hit the Denver area Dec. 21 and Dec. 29, and snow covered the ground for 61 straight days. Ricky Lee's dad, Randy Romero, said he had came home one night after a long shift as a Denver snowplow mechanic to find that his partner, Dayna Wilson, had made dinner and put her two daughters to bed.

"We just cuddled up to get warm, and this happened," Romero said.

"Apparently, not everybody was shoveling snow," said David Hamm, hospital chief executive.

Bite Me

A laboratory technician has been fired after the parents of a 3-year-old boy claimed she bit his shoulder while drawing blood from his arm, a hospital spokesman said.

Faith Buntin took her son Victor to St. Vincent Hospital on Friday for a blood test because of recent recalls of toys involving lead. She said she saw the worker put her mouth on Victor's shoulder.

"I looked at her like that was the craziest thing that I'd ever seen," Faith Buntin told television station WRTV. "She looked at me and smiled and said, 'Oh, it was just a play bite. He's not hurt.'"

After they returned home, the boy's mother said, she saw teeth marks on his left shoulder, and her husband drove the child back to the hospital, where he was prescribed antibiotics.

"Taking a bite out of him like he's an apple, this is heinous," said James Buntin, the boy's father.

Marc Ecko, who bought the ball in an online auction, set up a Web site for fans to vote on the ball's fate, and the decision to brand it won out over the other options, sending it to the museum unblemished or launching it into space.

"We're going to be working with the folks at the Hall of Fame," Ecko said on NBC's "Today" show.

Ecko, whom Bonds called "an idiot" last week, had the winning bid Sept. 15 in the online auction for the ball that Bonds hit Aug. 7 to break Hank Aaron's record of 755 home runs. The final selling price was $752,467, well above most predictions that assumed Bonds' status as a lightning rod for the steroids debate in baseball would depress the value.

The asterisk suggests that Bonds' record is tainted by alleged steroid use. The slugger has denied knowingly using performance-enhancing drugs. Fans brought signs with asterisks on them to ballparks as he neared Aaron's hallowed mark.

N7

Nike on Tuesday unveiled what it said is the first shoe designed specifically for American Indians, an effort aiming at promoting physical fitness in a population with high obesity rates.

The Beaverton-based company says the Air Native N7 is designed with a larger fit for the distinct foot shape of American Indians, and has a culturally specific look.

Nike said it is the first time it has designed a shoe for a specific race or ethnicity.

Nike designers and researchers looked at the feet of more than 200 people from more than 70 tribes nationwide and found that in general, American Indians have a much wider and taller foot than the average shoe accommodates. The average shoe width of men and women measured was three width sizes larger than the standard Nike shoe.

The N7 name is a reference to the seventh generation theory, used by some tribes to look to the three generations preceding them for wisdom and the three generations ahead for their legacy.

The design features several "heritage callouts" as one product manager described it, including sunrise to sunset to sunrise patterns on the tongue and heel of the shoe. Feather designs adorn the inside and stars are on the sole to represent the night sky.

Madeleine?

Authorities are examining a photo taken in Morocco showing a child who appears to resemble missing British toddler Madeleine McCann.

The digital picture was taken by a Spanish couple who vacationed in Morocco in late August, he said. The picture, taken out of a moving car, seems to show a Moroccan woman carrying a child on her back while walking along the side of a road.

"Along this route we started to take photos of everything we saw -- mosques, villages, everything. We saw this group of people we took some photos but as soon as we took them, we saw a blonde, blonde girl who caught our eye," said Clara Torres. "We thought of Madeleine but we didn't think any more about it as we thought it would be impossible."

"The picture stayed in the camera as we thought it was so strange," Torres said. "The truth is, I've been kicking myself, because these 25 days have been lost, but I couldn't do anything else. The moment I realised, I handed over the photo to the authorities," who forwarded it to Interpol.

Out Of The Woods?

In addition to all the other crazy stories Jimmy Woods has told about celebrities, he is now claiming that O.J. Simpson and his murdered wife Nicole wanted to have a threesome with him.

Woods showed up at the "The Late Late Show" and told a story of how he was invited to dinner with O.J. He met a leggy blonde who complained about being married to a “big, black athlete.” Turns out, this was Nicole, and she wanted to have sex with Woods. The unhappy married couple later came to Woods’ room to get him to visit their suite for a “late-night nightcap.”

"It was very odd," said Woods. A few days later, Nicole sent him a letter that said "'Dear Jimmy, O.J. is out of town, maybe you would like to get together.' [I thought], this can't be possible."

Woods does have a habit of getting people into trouble over sexual exploits most notably when he and his ex-girlfriend filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against his costar Sean Young. Young claimed she turned him down for sex and he went nuts.

Uncle Rico?

Prosecutors have filed two misdemeanor charges against a former police officer who authorities say crashed a squad car while showing off for three female college students riding with him.

Jason Lyons, a six-year veteran of the police force, resigned this month after being suspended over the Aug. 28 crash along a street outside a Ball State University residence hall complex.

The three female freshmen told investigators they met Lyons, who called himself "Rico," about 1 a.m. at a near-campus convenience store, police said.

"We all asked if he could give us a ride back to the dorms, and 'Rico' said, 'Sure, I'll take you,'" one of the students, Stacy Walters, said in a police statement.

Walters said she and the other girls then screamed in terror as Lyons drove fast down a couple streets before hitting a curb and crashing. “I was surprised at how fast 'Rico' got out of the car and opened the back door," Walters said. "He's telling us to get out and run."

Lyons afterward said he was "scared and afraid" and not thinking clearly when he failed to tell supervisors all the details of the accident, according to police reports. A report quotes Lyons as telling a supervisor that "I was stupid and trying to impress three pretty girls who were paying attention to me."

Mr. Crolla is tying the pie in to the upcoming James Bond movie by calling it the "Pizza Royale 007" and will auction it off on eBay to raise money for a charity, the Fred Hollows Foundation, "which works to prevent curable blindness in developing countries."

'Hell's Baboons'

A criminal gang being blamed for countless burglaries, thefts and vandalism in South Africa is made up or at least 350 baboons.

The reason there's so many is that they are the country's last colony of coastal baboons and are a protected species.

The creatures have learned to break into houses and to open car doors.

Once inside a home, they generally head straight for the refrigerator where they take what they want and leave behind a big mess.

"People here are getting very angry," said Peter Kirsch, a local doctor. "They get into the kitchen. They know where the refrigerator is. They open it, they tear it to pieces. They grab whatever food they can. And then they move around the house, and they defecate all over the place."

Kiefer Sutherland was arrested early Tuesday on misdemeanor drunk driving charges after failing a field sobriety test, police officials said.

The actor was pulled over at about 1:10 a.m. in West Los Angeles after officers spotted him making an illegal U-turn, said Officer Kevin Maiberger.

Sutherland, 40, tested over the state's legal blood alcohol limit of .08 percent, and was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence, Officer Karen Smith said.

He was released around 4 a.m. after posting $25,000 bail, according to Sheriff's Department records.

Family Feud.

Kristy and Larry Nuckols got married on Monday. But two weekends ago, they were on the run from her ex-husband, Tom Ledgerwood, in the small town of Sasakwa.

"I had some mace and I hit him right in the eye and he dove in the car," said Larry Nuckols.

Larry Nuckols said the two had started fighting and were rolling around inside the car when Ledgerwood began biting him. "He told me, 'You know what that was, that's your ear,'" Nuckols said. "And he says, 'I'm going to get the other one.'"

Larry Nuckols lost half of his left ear and the top of his right one. He said he thought he was going to also lose his life.

That's when Kristy Nuckols said she jumped in to try to and save him. "I went to put my fingers in his mouth to pull him back," Kristy Nuckols said. "One chomp and I knew that sucker was coming off."

Kristy Nuckols said the couple was eventually able to get her ex-husband to calm down.

"That's when he said he had swallowed my finger and his ears," she said.

Cubbies

His parents say he can go by his middle name when he's old enough to decide.

For now, the newborn will be known by his first name: Wrigley.

And his last name: Fields.

His parents are Paul and Teri Fields of Michigan City, Ind. They are — no surprise — fans of the Cubs, who have played at Wrigley Field since 1916. The Fields planned the name for years before their son's birth.

Wrigley Alexander Fields was born Sept. 12 at an Indiana hospital.

Scott Howard? Stiles? Boof?

An Oak Park teen, 16, suffered a fractured skull when she fell off the top of the car while performing an illegal stunt known as "hood surfing". "She hit her head pretty bad. There was blood in the street," said a witness.

The driver of the car, Megan Davis, 18, of Riverview, drove her older model Ford forward on Sunday (traveling about 15 to 20 miles per hour) as the girl stood on the hood.

"The driver, seeing that the victim was losing her balance, stopped the vehicle," said Oak Park Public Safety Lt. Mike Pousak told the paper. "However, with the victim losing her balance and the momentum of the vehicle traveling, and then suddenly stopping, the victim fell off and hit the pavement. She suffered abrasions on her body and she struck her head on the pavement."

Drunk Samurai

A man wielding a samurai sword and seeking revenge on a former friend had the wrong apartment when he attacked a man and severed his finger Sunday morning, police said.

Officers said the 24-year-old assailant was so drunk on his way to the apartment that he hit several cars parked on a nearby street, WISN-TV in Milwaukee reported.

The man knocked on several wrong doors first, damaging one of them with the 20-inch samurai-like sword, police said.

The last door he came to was kicked and struck with the weapon, police said, and when someone opened the door, the man went after him with the sword, severing his pinky finger.

Officers said the victim wasn't the man's former friend.

Row, Row, Row...

A man who tried to tow his 35-foot fishing vessel to a marina by paddling in a 9-foot inflatable boat was fished out of a Long Island canal by Coast Guard officials Wednesday.

"This is one of the most unsafe things I may have ever seen a boater do," said U.S. Coast Guard spokesman Lt. Steven Koch.

Louis Pasquale, 35, of Seaford, N.Y., was attempting to tow his fishing vessel Barbara Ann from the North Channel near Bay Shore about 20 miles to Freeport. He was not injured, but not wearing a life jacket, the Coast Guard said.

Pasquale reportedly started towing the Barbara Ann at 5:30 a.m from the East Islip Marina, and had managed to move it about 100 yards in three hours when both the Coast Guard and Islip Harbor Police stopped him.

Duck, Duck....Goose?

A Denver man who witnesses say ripped the head off a tame duck that lived in a pond in a hotel lobby is under arrest in St. Paul.

Scott Clark, a guest at the Embassy Suites hotel, cornered the duck early Saturday, ripped its head off and turned to onlookers and said: "I'm hungry. I'm gonna eat it."

"He was allegedly drunk," St. Paul police Sgt. John Wuorinen said.

He's being held on suspicion of felony animal cruelty. If convicted he could face up to two years in prison and be fined $5,000.

"This Is YouTube Material!"

Shouting, "This is YouTube material!" a 27-year-old British man urinated on a dying woman who had collapsed on the street, the BBC and local Hartepool Mail and Northern Echo tell us. He also doused her with a bucket of water and covered her with shaving cream.

The woman, 50-year-old Christine Lakinski, died at the scene of pancreatic failure.

In a sad sign of the times, it was all recorded on a mobile phone.

In court, Anthony Anderson said he had smoked a joint and been drinking with two friends when they spotted Lakinski. He faces jail after pleading guilty to "outraging public decency." Sentencing is set for Oct. 22.

"We will await the outcome and just hope he gets what he deserves," Lakinski's brother said after today's court hearing.

'Hobbit' Was Distinct Species

Three wrist bones provide key evidence supporting the argument that fossil remains of an ancient, undersized individual represent a new hominin species that walked the Earth with modern humans, say the study scientists.

"Up until [the hobbit remains] were discovered, we thought we were the only ones for at least 30,000 years, because 30,000 years ago Neanderthals went extinct," said lead author Matthew Tocheri, an anthropologist at the National Museum of Natural History.

Since the discovery, scientists have debated whether the specimen represents a new hominin species called Homo floresiensis, possibly a dwarfed offshoot of Homo erectus, a human ancestor that lived as far back as 1.8 million years ago.

The hobbit's brain was about one-third the size of a modern adult human's brain.

"Are they a distinct species or are they pathological modern humans?" asks study leader Tocheri. "I think it's pretty clear that this is a smoking gun, that they are not pathological modern humans. Modern human wrists, normal or abnormal, don't look like an otherwise normal chimpanzee wrist."

Life Or My Johnson???

A confessed rapist was sentenced Thursday to 25 years in prison, days after he voluntarily underwent castration as part of a plea deal to avoid a life sentence.

Circuit Judge Michael Overstreet sentenced Bobby James Allen to 25 years in prison followed by 10 years' probation. Allen pleaded guilty this month to three counts of armed sexual battery and other charges involving attacks in 1998 and 1999. Allen requested castration in exchange for a reduced sentence.

The surgical procedure cost about $2,000, and the court system paid for it, public defender Doug White told The News Herald of Panama City.

Overstreet warned Allen to expect hormonal changes that could lead to the breast development, osteoporosis and hot flashes. Castration results in sterility, a decline in sexual interest and erection problems.

"Good Dog"

A man captured neighborhood cats and kittens and fed them live to his pit bulls, authorities said Thursday.

Tye Hilmo, 21, was already in jail on drug, firearm and probation violation charges, Gwinnett County sheriff's spokeswoman Stacey Bourbonnais said.

The new warrant charges that Hilmo "did give injured live cats and kittens to his pit bull dogs and let the pit bulls kill the already injured cats and kittens. Hilmo would capture and injure neighborhood cats for this purpose."

He was arrested Sept. 10 after investigators serving a search warrant on his house found guns and two pounds of marijuana, Bourbonnais said. He has been jailed since then.

Authorities found the bodies of two kittens near Hilmo's residence. Bourbonnais said they also found a gruesome image on Hilmo's cell phone: a picture of one of his pit bulls and one of the mauled, dead kittens, and beneath picture a caption that says "Good Dog."

"It's pretty disturbing," Bourbonnais said.

The initial tip about Hilmo indicated he may be feeding kittens and cats to his dogs to prepare the dogs for fighting, but no dogfighting charges have been leveled against Hilmo, Bourbonnais said.

It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

Philadelphia hit a grim milestone yesterday as two early-morning homicides boosted the city's tally to 300 for the year.

The development came on the heels of a positive stretch for homicide investigators, who had locked up five murder suspects in four cases earlier in the week.

The homicide rate is about 8 percent higher than it was at this time last year, when the murder count stood at 276, police said.

"A Mixture Of Stupid Stuff."

Snake collector Matt Wilkinson of Portland grabbed a 20-inch rattler from the highway near Maupin, and three weeks later, to impress his ex-girlfriend, he stuck the serpent in his mouth.
He was soon near death with a swollen tongue that blocked his throat. Trauma doctors at the Oregon Health and Science University saved his life.

"You can assume alcohol was involved," he said. Actually, not just beer- it was something he called a "mixture of stupid stuff."

It happened at a barbecue with friends. Wilkinson, 23, had downed a six-pack and his ex-girlfriend asked him for a beer. He handed her one, not realizing the snake was also in his hand.

"She said, 'Get that thing out of my face,'" Wilkinson said. "I told her it was a nice snake. 'Nothing can happen. Watch.'"

So he stuck the snake in his mouth.

"It got a hold of my tongue," he said.

He was having breathing problems when his ex-girlfriend drove him to the hospital. "She was the only one sober," Wilkinson said.

En route, they spotted a police car and asked for help. His next memory, he said, was waking up at the hospital.

Baby John

Probate Judge Richard Hampe said the mummified baby known as "Baby John" passed down for generations through Charles Peavey's family must be buried because there is no DNA evidence proving kinship.

"I'm just washing my hands of it," said Peavey. "I'm disappointed it came to this."

Until police confiscated Baby John last year, the mummy had been on display on a bureau in Peavey's home. Relatives and friends treated the desiccated infant as a family member, giving it cards during holidays and even a dried fish as a pet. Authorities learned of the mummy's existence after Peavey's niece mentioned to day care staffers that her uncle kept a dead baby at his house.

Peavey said his family believes the mummy is the stillborn child of a great-great uncle.

"It's one of the few things from our family past that we have left," Peavey had written in a petition to the court. "And when I pass on, I was looking forward to passing it on to another family member, to keep some of the history for future family members."

God's Onion Ring

Bryan Rocco has a hunger for fast food but never thought a Burger King onion ring would almost kill him, NBC 10's Ted Greenberg reported.

"I was eating my lunch on the road," Rocco said, adding that he soon found himself "gasping for air."

“I was coughing. I tried to wash it down with soda. That didn't work," Rocco said. "I blacked out -- must have passed out from choking on an onion ring," Rocco said.

The SUV he was driving jumped the curb and slammed into a tree. But when he came to, the onion ring was gone.

So, after all of this, you may be wondering if Rocco lost that appetite he has for onion rings and other fast food? Not a chance. "We work for Burger King and McDonalds a lot, so they give free food, I eat it," Rocco said, laughing.

A carnival worker who hit a telephone pole with his SUV blamed the crash on two friends having sex in the back seat.

Joshua D. Frank, who had been living on the Latah County Fairgrounds, pleaded guilty Monday to a misdemeanor charge of failing to notify a police officer of a traffic accident. He was fined $188.

Frank told Moscow police he was driving near downtown early Saturday while a man and woman were having sex in the rear of the vehicle. According to a probable cause affidavit, he said the movement caused the SUV to become "tippy" and he lost control of it.

Frank, 22, suffered a minor head wound in the crash and his friends were treated for unspecified injuries, according to the affidavit.

$70 Million Bush

Dan Rather filed a $70 million lawsuit Wednesday against CBS, alleging the network made him a "scapegoat" for a discredited story about President Bush's National Guard service.

The 75-year-old Rather, whose final months were clouded by controversy over the report, says the complaint stems from "CBS' intentional mishandling" of the aftermath of the story.

Rather, the former anchorman of the "CBS Evening News," is seeking $20 million in compensatory damages and $50 million in punitive damages. CBS spokesman Dana McClintock said: "These complaints are old news, and this lawsuit is without merit."

Rather narrated the September 2004 report that claimed President Bush skirted some of his duties during his National Guard service and that a commander felt pressured to sugarcoat Bush's record. Rather maintains the story was true.

But an independent review for the network determined the story was neither fair nor accurate. CBS fired three news executives and a producer for airing it.

Issued in January 2005, the 224-page report portrayed Rather as "pushed to the limit" with other stories at the time of the "60 Minutes Wednesday" report. He relied on a trusted producer, and didn't check the story for accuracy or, apparently, even see it before he introduced it on the program, the panel said.

CBS rushed the story on the air and then blindly defended it when holes became apparent, said the panel, which was unable to say conclusively whether memos allegedly disparaging Bush's service were real or fake.

Belgium, A Kingdom In Three Parts

Hidden among the porcelain fox hounds and Burberry tablecloths on sale at eBay.be this week was an unusual item: "For Sale: Belgium, a Kingdom in three parts ... free premium: the king and his court (costs not included)."

The odd ad was posted by one disgruntled Belgian in protest at his country's political crisis which reached a 100-day landmark Tuesday with no end in sight to the squabbling between Flemish and Walloon politicians.

"I wanted to attract attention," said Gerrit Six, the teacher and former journalist who posted the ad. "You almost have to throw rock through a window to get attention for Belgium."

Six placed the advertisement on Saturday, offering free delivery, but pointing out that the country was coming secondhand and that potential buyers would have to take on over $300 billion (euro220 billion) in national debt.

"It was a really fun listing made by a Belgian," Peter Burin, PR manager of eBay Belgium. "This person, in a very funny way, reminded the Belgians what a great country Belgium actually is and it would be a shame to sell it."

"We decided to take it down, just to avoid confusion," he told APTN.

In The Raw

An animal rights group says Alicia Silverstone appears naked in a television ad promoting vegetarianism that was to debut Wednesday in Houston.

The 30-second ad was to air about two dozen times in Houston on Wednesday, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said.

PETA said Houston was picked for the commercial's launch because it is often high on lists of cities with unhealthy eating habits. Houston was named the sixth fattest city in the nation by Men's Fitness magazine this year.

Silverstone is shown emerging from a swimming pool and talking about the benefits of being a vegetarian. She obscures the view of her body with her arms as she gets out of the pool, PETA said.

Dead Man Walking

A Venezuelan man who had been declared dead woke up in the morgue in excruciating pain after medical examiners began their autopsy.

Carlos Camejo, 33, was declared dead after a highway accident and taken to the morgue, where examiners began an autopsy only to realize something was amiss when he started bleeding. They quickly sought to stitch up the incision on his face.

"I woke up because the pain was unbearable," Camejo said, according to a report on Friday in leading local newspaper El Universal.

His grieving wife turned up at the morgue to identify her husband's body only to find him moved into a corridor -- and alive.

Reuters could not immediately reach hospital officials to confirm the events. But Camejo showed the newspaper his facial scar and a document ordering the autopsy.

Accomplice?

Authorities released a disturbing surveillance photo Tuesday from a bank heist in Lehigh County.

Police said an armed man grabbed a toddler and took him and his father hostage during a bank robbery.

On the surveillance picture taken during the robbery, you can see the robber pointing a gun toward the boy's head.

It happened Saturday at the Tilghman Square Branch of PNC Bank in South Whitehall Township, near Allentown.

The robber got away with several thousand dollars, but thankfully no one was hurt.

"Ride The SLUT"

Officially it's the South Lake Union Streetcar, but it's popularly known as the South Lake Union Trolley , or SLUT.

At Kapow! Coffee, 100 T-shirts bearing the words "Ride the SLUT" sold out in days and another 100 are on order.

"We're welcoming the SLUT into the neighborhood," said Jerry Johnson, 29, a part-time barista.

Some claim , incorrectly, according to representatives of Vulcan Inc., a company owned by billionaire Paul G. Allen which is developing the area , that South Lake Union Trolley was the original name and that it was changed when officials belatedly realized the acronym.

Since then Cascade has been ignored in Vulcan brochures that lump the neighborhood together with Denny Park and Denny Triangle under the term South Lake Union.With the streetcar, said Don Clifton, a Cascade resident, "We learned how fun it is to change the name of things."

Norman The Zebra

When Sharon McConough heard her dog barking like crazy, she thought she was dreaming when she looked outside.

Deer and raccoon regularly visit her Ranger Creek home east of Fort Gibson Dam, but she was shocked to see a zebra last Tuesday night.

“It was about midnight, and I’d just shut off my computer and I got up and went to look outside. It’s so weird, you can’t imagine what it’s like to look out a glass door and see a zebra trotting down the driveway.”

“The dog food was scattered everywhere, and the dog doesn’t do that. There were dog food pieces in the water bowl, and he doesn’t do that either.” McConough also noticed the cat food bowls look like a big tongue licked them clean.

She ran to get her camera because she knew no one would believe her if she told them she saw a zebra in her yard.

Fork(lift) In The Road

Firefighters cut a hole in the side of a house and used a forklift to extricate a 900-pound man from his second-floor bedroom after a visiting nurse became worried about his health.

Rescue workers were called in Tuesday by the nurse, who determined the 33-year-old man needed medical help, Fire Chief Tom Cochran said.

Cochran said the man had not left his home since 2003.

The man's brother, who lives with him, said he suffers from Prader-Willi Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that creates a chronic hunger feeling that can lead to overeating and life-threatening obesity.

Rescue workers brought in a forklift, high enough to raise a platform to a hole cut into the wall of the house. They covered the man with a blue tarp to shield him from onlookers and slid the platform onto a flatbed truck for a trip to Sparrow Hospital.

People vs. "The Almighty"

The defendant in a state senator's lawsuit is accused of causing untold death and horror and threatening to cause more still. He can be sued in Douglas County, the legislator claims, because He's everywhere.

State Sen. Ernie Chambers sued God last week. Angered by another lawsuit he considers frivolous, Chambers says he's trying to make the point that anybody can file a lawsuit against anybody.


Chambers says in his lawsuit that God has made terroristic threats against the senator and his constituents, inspired fear and caused "widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth's inhabitants."

He's seeking a permanent injunction against the Almighty.

Soup's On! -Get It While It's Hot!

Venezuelan officials claimed a world record Saturday for making the largest pot of soup, a giant cauldron of stew prepared by President Hugo Chavez's government.

The hulking stainless steel cooking pot, set up outdoors in downtown Caracas, contained about 3,960 gallons of "sancocho" stew, Food Minister Rafael Oropeza said. It contained 6,600 pounds of chicken, 4,400 pounds of beef and tons of vegetables.

That would dwarf the current record-holder listed on the Guinness World Records Web site, a pot of 1,413 gallons of spicy soup prepared in Durango, Mexico, in July.

Oropeza called it "Bolivarian stew", a play on the name of Chavez's socialist movement, named in honor of South American independence hero Simon Bolivar. He said it was enough to feed 60,000 to 70,000 people.

Workers stood on raised platforms stirring the soup with poles, and then dished out servings to a crowd at a state-run market.
