In honor of the upcoming release of Fallout 3, perhaps we Orgahs should pool our resources to buy a vault under central London (http://io9.com/5065065/buy-an-underground-sanctuary-to-ensure-your-post+apocalyptic-survival)?

If you need a secure location to ensure your survival in the coming apocalypse, or simply crave a spacious underground lair, then consider Central London’s deep level shelters. Built in 1940 as air-raid shelters, the underground tunnels have since served as a war room, library, and telephone exchange for British secret intelligence. And now you can own a shelter of your very own.
The Kingsway Tunnels, located 200 feet below street level and owned by British telecom provider BT, went up for sale yesterday. In the last few decades, the tunnels’ primary use has been for communications, having served as the telephone exchange for the hotline between the US and Soviet presidents. But the original purpose of the shelter was to withstand a foreign attack, and, at the end of the world, the accommodations should prove cozy for you and 8,000 of your closest friends.

Giant spider snapped eating bird in backyard near Cairns (http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,24540399-5009760,00.html)
Joel Shakespeare, the head spider keeper at NSW's Australian Reptile Park, said the spider was a golden orb weaver.
"Normally they prey on large insects, it's unusual to see one eating a bird," he said.
Mr Shakepeare said he had seen golden orb weaver spiders as big as a human hand but the northern species in tropical areas were known to grow larger.
So the Octosquid alliance has made friends with their land living cousins and are breeding larger variants for the war...

Lost your pants? Have $54 million spare? Former Judge?
You might just be this guy (http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/10/23/2399784.htm?section=justin)
An appeals court has begun hearing a case brought by a former judge who is suing a drycleaners for $US54 million, claiming they lost his pants.
"A written opinion should be issued in two to four months" from three appellate judges, said Christopher Manning, attorney for Jin and Soo Chung, a South Korean immigrant couple that runs the drycleaning business.
The Washington Court of Appeals heard the case after former judge Roy Pearson last year lost the original case he brought against the couple in a lower court.
Mr Pearson says he received a pair of pants from Soo Chung in May 2005 that was not his. When he demanded Soo Chung pay him $US1,000, the price of the entire suit, she refused, convinced the pants were indeed his.
Mr Pearson claims in his case that a sign reading "satisfaction guaranteed" on the shop's door is misleading and dishonest. He is demanding $US1,500 for each day the drycleaners put up the sign.
$54 million? That's just pocket change.
The original case is old news. He's seriously appealing the decision? That's utter pants.

Woman jailed for 'killing' virtual husband (http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=652750&rss=yes)
A 43-year-old player in a virtual game world became so angry about her sudden divorce from her online husband that she logged on with his password and killed his digital persona, police say.
The woman, who has been jailed on suspicion of illegally accessing a computer and manipulating electronic data, used his ID and password to log onto the popular interactive game Maple Story to carry out the virtual murder in May, a police official in the northern city of Sapporo said. He spoke on condition of anonymity because of department policy.
"I was suddenly divorced, without a word of warning. That made me so angry," the official quoted her as telling investigators and admitting the allegations.
The woman, a piano teacher, had not plotted any revenge in the real world, the official said.
She has not yet been formally charged. If convicted, she could face up to five years in prison or a fine up to $US5,000 ($A7,427).

VERO BEACH, Fla. (AP) - A McDonald's cashier called 911 after a Vero Beach drive-thru customer allegedly offered to pay for his meal with marijuana. The Indian River County Sheriff's Office said the cashier called Monday with a description of the vehicle the suspect had been riding in.
A deputy spotted the vehicle, found marijuana in the car and arrested its occupant, 27-year-old Shawn Alexander Pannullo.
Pannullo was charged with possession of cannabis and posted $500 bail. It was unclear if he had an attorney. A Sheriff's report did not say what the suspect ordered at McDonald's or if he ultimately purchased the meal using something other than marijuana.
What's the difference? They are both green...

Arsène Wenger has admitted it is "unacceptable" for Arsenal captain William Gallas to have been pictured with a cigarette — but backed the Frenchman as the right man to lead his young Gunners side.
Gallas, 31, was photographed as he left a nightclub on Thursday morning holding a cigarette in his mouth, although it was not lit.
However, Wenger made it clear that if the reports of his smoking are substantiated, he will take action. Incredible (http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2008/oct/24/arsenal-wenger-gallas-cigarette). He really ought to know better. Doesn't he realise he's a famous rolemodel for French youth? :no:

A powerful story: A New Baby Boom (http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,24569433-401,00.html)
A SMALL Dutch community has recorded a 44 per cent rise in baby births nine months after a power cut plunged its 23,000 inhabitants into darkness for two days, a spokeswoman said.
In December last year, the blades of an Apache helicopter accidentally severed the high voltage cables providing electricity to the nine villages that make up the municipality of Maasdriel in the east of the country.
During the ensuing 50 hours of darkness, many inhabitants sought mid-winter hospitality in other towns, "but some found heat among themselves", town spokeswoman Annelies Van Eijkeren said today.
There were 26 babies born in Maasdriel in September - a 44 per cent rise on last year's 18, she said.
While authorities may want to boost the population, "we are not envisaging doing so by cutting the power", said Ms Van Eijkeren.

The footage showed Marie Huertas, 85, wearing a full black balaclava and, after repeated instructions, uttering a number of gangsta rap phrases that included expletives.
A sheriff's report said Alfinez had admitted dressing up his grandmother and persuading her to flash a gun and money at the camera.

Here's a tip guys. If your job is to translate English signs into Welsh, try to remember not to put your out of office autoreply in Welsh. Because, now, think about it, the people emailing you won't speak Welsh, will they. What could go wrong I wonder?

The "cyclists dismount" sign between Penarth and Cardiff became "llid y bledren dymchwelyd" in Welsh - literally "bladder inflammation upset" (or tip or overturn). It is possible that an online translation led to confusion between cyclists and cystitis.

A cyclist is in trouble if he has trouble piddling.
It has begun. (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/3328480/Otto-the-octopus-wrecks-havoc.html)
A octopus has caused havoc in his aquarium by performing juggling tricks using his fellow occupants, smashing rocks against the glass and turning off the power by shortcircuiting a lamp.
Staff believe that the octopus called Otto had been annoyed by the bright light shining into his aquarium and had discovered he could extinguish it by climbing onto the rim of his tank and squirting a jet of water in its direction.
The short-circuit had baffled electricians as well as staff at the Sea Star Aquarium in Coburg, Germany, who decided to take shifts sleeping on the floor to find out what caused the mysterious blackouts.
A spokesman said: "It was a serious matter because it shorted the electricity supply to the whole aquarium that threatened the lives of the other animals when water pumps ceased to work.
"It was on the third night that we found out that the octopus Otto was responsible for the chaos.
"We knew that he was bored as the aquarium is closed for winter, and at two feet, seven inches Otto had discovered he was big enough to swing onto the edge of his tank and shoot out a the 2000 Watt spot light above him with a carefully directed jet of water." [...]
"Once we saw him juggling the hermit crabs in his tank, another time he threw stones against the glass damaging it. And from time to time he completely re-arranges his tank to make it suit his own taste better - much to the distress of his fellow tank inhabitants."

Why you should never use a public toilet (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/west_midlands/black_country/7704603.stm)
Man is found glued to toilet seat
A man had to be taken to hospital still attached to a steel toilet after super-glue was deliberately smeared on the seat.
Firefighters were unable to free the man and were forced to remove the entire toilet with the man attached.
The 35-year-old was in a public toilet cubicle in Brierley Hill in the West Midlands when he became stuck.
He was taken to hospital where doctors had to get into the ambulance before using chemicals to free him.
Toilet re-installed
An ambulance service spokesman said: "He appeared to be none the worse for his ordeal other than being understandably somewhat embarrassed."
It is thought the glue had been smeared on the toilet seat by a prankster.
An ambulance crew and a rapid response vehicle attended the scene just before midday but they were unable to free the man.
"With the help of a local authority and the fire and rescue service, the man was removed from the cubicle still attached to the stainless steel toilet," the spokesman said.
The toilet was later taken back to the public convenience and re-installed.

A vicar claims a potato got stuck up his bottom after he fell on to the vegetable while hanging curtains in the nude.
The clergyman, in his 50s, told medical staff at Sheffield's Northern General Hospital that the accident was definitely not due to a sex game.
He had to undergo surgery to extract the spud from his backside, according to The Sun.
A&E nurse Trudi Watson told the paper: "He explained to me, quite sincerely, he had been hanging curtains naked in he kitchen when he fell backwards on to the kitchen table and on to a potato.
"But it's not for me to question his story."
She went on to reveal other objects removed from people's derriére, including a cucumber, a Russian doll and a carnation.

Nuns 'in Italy restaurant brawl'
A priest and two nuns have allegedly beaten up a restaurant boss in the village of Rutino near Salerno in southern Italy. Antonio Esposito, 49, was taken to hospital with neck and stomach injuries allegedly after a dispute concerning the restaurant lease.
Italian police said the restaurant was left looking like a scene from a "wild west saloon".
The priest and nuns deny the allegations, their lawyer says. "Let's be realistic here, all three have a combined age of 160 so it's not very likely they are going to attack a 49-year-old man," said the lawyer, Gaetano Di Vietri.
The restaurant is owned by the local religious order who want the property back and claim it is being occupied illegally. All three have a combined age of 160 so it's not very likely they are going to attack a 49-year-old man
Mr Esposito told police that the priest hit him over the head with a chair and the nuns followed by kicking him.

Hens are dropping dead on a free-range farm because hot-air balloons and low-flying aircraft are causing their eggs to explode inside them, it has been claimed.
Abbi Vincent-Lloyd said she lost 30 hens on days when balloons were flying low over her Herefordshire farm.
She claimed the stress of seeing the enormous balloons overhead caused them to run for cover.
It is as they desperately try to find shelter that they bump into each other or their surroundings, exploding the eggs inside them, she said. [...]
She said: "I had lost about 15 birds when I decided to have the vet do a post mortem on two of them.
"I told the vet about the hot-air balloons and jets flying low over the farm and straight away he said that was the cause.
"As soon as the gas is released to raise the balloon they go absolutely crazy.

The bin was picked up by a Waste Management truck and dumped into the vehicle's rear compactor.
Waste Management spokeswoman Lynn Morgan says the truck continued on its collection route, compacting cardboard several times.

Woman runs a mile with rabid fox gnawing her arm (http://www.livescience.com/strangenews/081105-ap-jogger-rabies.html)
Authorities in Arizona say a jogger attacked by a rabid fox ran a mile with the animal's jaws clamped on her arm and then drove herself to a hospital. The Yavapai County sheriff's office said the woman told deputies she was on a trail near Prescott on Monday when the fox attacked and bit her foot.
She said she grabbed the fox by the neck when it went for her leg but it bit her arm.
The woman wanted the animal tested for rabies so she ran a mile to her car with the fox still biting her arm, then pried it off and tossed it in her trunk and drove to the Prescott hospital.
The sheriff's office says the fox later bit an animal control officer. He and the woman are both receiving rabies vaccinations.

The bodies of three elderly siblings thought to have been dead "for some time" were discovered Friday in a home where a fourth sibling also lived in a quiet Evanston neighborhood, police said.
A preliminary investigation showed no signs of foul play, said police Cmdr. Thomas Guenther, adding that the bodies were found in different parts of the rambling, two-story home, and that some were covered with blankets.
"They all could have passed away on different time periods over a period of time," Guenther said. "That has to be determined." [...]
The resident, who is cooperating with police, is "upwards of 90 years of age" and has been taken to a nearby facility for care, he said.
Neighbors said that they had not noticed anything unusual at the home. Most often, they said they saw a woman they knew as Margaret tending her garden. Last week, she was giving out Halloween candy, said Caroline Carlton, who lives across the street.

A 200-year-old church building has disappeared from a village in central Russia, officials from the Russian Orthodox Church say.
The building had stood near the village of Komarovo since 1809.
It was intact in July but some time in early October thieves made off with it brick by brick, they said.
Local prosecutors had been informed and an investigation was under way, a spokesman for the local Russian Orthodox Church said.
The disappearance of the Church of the Resurrection, some 300 km (186 miles) north-east of Moscow, was not immediately noticed.
It was in an out-of-the-way area and was not being used, although Church officials were considering resuming services there.
Now all that remained of the two-storey building - a school before it was turned over to the Church - were its foundations and some sections of wall, the Church said.
Thieves often target churches in rural Russia. Religious icons can be sold and church structures sold off for building materials.

Wales new kit=Canary Killers (http://www.scrum.com/scrum/rugby/story/85209.html)
Alice O'Leary, a senior PETA representative, has blasted the WRU for putting 'fashion before compassion'.
"We wanted to produce a jersey unique to Welsh rugby," said Stephen Edwards. "The choice of canary feathers was made as we wanted to produce a shirt relevant to the proud traditions and cultures of our land. Canaries were used in the Welsh coalmines to help warn miners of gas leaks. We think the use of canary yellow for our national shirts helps symbolise our proud industrial heritage."

Fullmer said Beck then told the audience that he was tired of people who were too stupid to understand, and turned and told council members that they were too stupid to work with, too.
Beck continued by telling the town to go to hell.

Someone who pays out $40? Or is the limit a bit higher for paying out and being labeled a sucker? $400 maybe? Of even higher; $4000? And if that's not it, do you have to pay $40,000 before you're officially a sucker?
Whatever your personal definition is, it's probably lower than this woman's (http://www.ajc.com/news/content/news/stories/2008/11/18/emailscam.html);
SWEET HOME, Ore. — An Oregon woman who is out $400,000 after falling for a well-known Internet scam says she wasn’t a sucker or an easy mark.

$300,000 for missing genitals (http://www.upi.com/Top_News/2008/11/18/Inmate_gets_300000_for_lost_genitals/UPI-72171227066799/)
OLYMPIA, Wash., Nov. 18 (UPI) -- Washington state has agreed to pay $300,000 to an ex-prison inmate whose penis was consumed by a flesh-eating bacteria while he was behind bars.
Charlie Manning told The Seattle Times Monday he will have $115,000 left after paying attorney's fees arising from his lawsuit and other bills. He expects to get the money this week.
"It's been a nightmare," Manning said. "I figured I should settle for what I could get because I just want it behind me. It's unreal. It's like something from Mars."
Manning, 61, was serving a 13-month sentence for a drunken fight when he became ill. The prison doctor wrongly diagnosed his symptoms as an allergic reaction to medication. It turned out he had necrotizing fasciitis and the bacteria destroyed his penis and one testicle.
The Department of Corrections said the suit was settled because going to court would have been more expensive.
Australian driver wrestles with police while pleasuring his genitals with pasta jar (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/11/19/pasta_sauce/)
An Oz driver has been fined AU$600 for "offensive behaviour, resisting police and disobeying a police direction" after cracking one off into a pasta sauce jar even as coppers attempted to subdue him with batons and capiscum spray following a "slow-speed" car chase through Newcastle, New South Wales.
The drama began when officers spotted Keith Roy Weatherley, 46, "parked in a no-stopping zone near Nobby's Beach on October 26". According to the Newcastle Herald, they thought he "might have a weapon"* since he was "doing something with his hands in his lap".
He was in fact "partially clothed with his genitals in a jar", a police report explained. The perp made a dash for it, was pulled, refused to exit the vehicle and four officers were obliged to persuade him from his car.
The law enforcement operatives identified "a 750mm jar around his penis" and said Weatherley gamely insisted on continuing to pleasure himself "between bouts of wrestling".
A search of Weatherley's motor uncovered "pornography, a homemade sex aid, women's stockings and a Jack Russell terrier".

Man 'carefully planned' his chainsaw death after losing eviction battle with developers
The last resident in a block of flats due to be demolished cut his own head off with a chainsaw to highlight the 'injustice' of being asked to move out, an inquest heard today.
Desperate David Phyall, 50, plugged the electric chainsaw into the mains and attached a timer to the socket.
He then wrapped sellotape around the machine's trigger to secure it in the 'on' position and tied the handle of the saw to a table leg to hold it steady.
Mr Phyall rested the saw on his neck and waited for the timer to go off.
The Black and Decker chainsaw sliced through his neck in an instant but kept going for a further 15 minutes.
Police and paramedics found his blood-soaked body at the flat in Bishopstoke, near Southampton, Hampshire, after his father John raised the alarm.
Mr Phyall was the last resident living in an area marked for a mass redevelopment and all 71 surrounding flats were empty.
The inquest heard Mr Phyall, who had lived in the 1960s flat for eight years, was the last resident in the block and had resisted 11 offers of a new home.

Semen is not only nutritious, but it also has a wonderful texture and amazing cooking properties. Like fine wine and cheeses, the taste of semen is complex and dynamic. Semen is inexpensive to produce and is commonly available in many, if not most, homes and restaurants. Despite all of these positive qualities, semen remains neglected as a food. This book hopes to change that. Once you overcome any initial hesitation, you will be surprised to learn how wonderful semen is in the kitchen. Semen is an exciting ingredient that can give every dish you make an interesting twist. If you are a passionate cook and are not afraid to experiment with new ingredients - you will love this cook book!

Chinese College Student bitten by panda (http://apnews.myway.com/article/20081122/D94K27E00.html)
A college student in southern China was bitten by a panda after he broke into the bear's enclosure hoping to get a hug, state media and a park employee said Saturday.
The same panda was in the news in 2006 when he bit a drunk tourist who broke into his enclosure and tried to hug him while he was asleep.The tourist retaliated by biting the bear in the back.
Evidently those scientists and mathematicians lack what we call "common sense".
Another person that only wanted a hug! ~:grouphug:
"Yang Yang was so cute and I just wanted to cuddle him. I didn't expect he would attack," the 20-year-old student, surnamed Liu, said in a local hospital, according to the official Xinhua News Agency.
He should've stuck with plush stuffed pandas. They like Koalas are the most misunderstood bears. I hope this story makes it to Steven Colbert's Threat Down.

Samurai shot dead for attacking Scientology Celebrity Center (http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-scientology24-2008nov24,0,6552577.story)
A security guard at the Church of Scientology's Celebrity Centre in Hollywood Sunday shot and killed a man wielding two samurai swords, police said.
Police detained the guard for questioning but said that a surveillance tape at the facility backed his claim that he fired his semiautomatic handgun to protect himself and two colleagues. [...]
The tape showed the man arriving at the Celebrity Centre's Bronson Avenue parking lot in a red convertible, getting out of the vehicle and approaching a trio of security guards and waving a sword in each hand, Hara said. [...]
A teenager who saw the man arrive in the parking lot said he stopped the car abruptly in the driveway and climbed out with a 5-foot sword in his hand and an angry expression on his face. Tony Marquez, 17, said the man, who was bald and had tattoos on his arms, walked toward the building, then returned to the car to get the other sword.
"I thought it was part of a show," said Marquez, of Ontario. He and his mother entered the building before the shooting began.

Finally, the case of the notorious butt bandit (http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2008/1125081lotion1.html) has been cracked. What a cheeky fellow!
NOVEMBER 25--Nebraska's notorious "butt bandit" was charged today with a public indecency spree in which he allegedly lathered his private parts in baby lotion and then left "butt and penis prints on local business windows" in the city of Valentine. Thomas Larvie, named today in a nine-count misdemeanor criminal complaint, was arrested last Wednesday after Officer Dana Miller spotted him "trying to hide in the shadows" near a parking lot. A detailed (and gross) probable cause affidavit, a copy of which you'll find below, notes that Larvie, 35, was wearing a handkerchief over his face and had a 16.5 ounce bottle of "Baby Magic Baby Lotion" in his pants pocket when approached by Miller at around 3:30 AM. Oh, and Larvie's "erect penis was partially protruding" from his unzipped pants.
A subsequent police investigation determined that eight Valentine businesses--including the post office, a livestock firm, and a pharmacy--had been left with butt and/or penis prints on their doors and windows. Some of the firms also had pages from a pornographic magazine stuck on the exterior of their premises. Jay Hollenbeck's Farm Bureau was hit particularly hard, with "penis prints on a west window, a butt and penis print on a south window, a penis print on a west window, and a penis print on the door."

The 150 pound, male deer became impaled in the tree for about eight hours before he was sedated and removed from the tree.

Department of Natural Resources spokesman Phil Bloom said the deer could have been pushed to the highway by hunters working nearby fields and woods, farmers harvesting crops, or have been affected by the breeding season. Once on the highway, passing cars may have startled them into jumping, not realizing how high up they were, John Salb, a DNR district spokesman, said.

Inflatable boobs lost at sea (http://au.news.yahoo.com/a/-/entertainment/5185182/inflatable-boobs-lost-sea/)
More than 130,000 inflatable breasts have been lost at sea en route to Australia.
Men's magazine Ralph was planning to include the boobs as a free gift with its January issue.
The cargo is worth about $200,000, which is another blow for publisher ACP's parent company PBL, which is already in $4.3 billion of debt.
A spokeswoman for Ralph said the container left docks in Beijing two weeks ago but turned up empty in Sydney this week.
The magazine has put out an alert to shipping authorities to see if they have the container, but if they don't turn up in the next 48 hours it will be too late for the next issue, she said.
Ralph editor Santi Pintado urged anyone who has any information to contact the magazine.
"Unless Somali pirates have stolen them its difficult to explain where they are," Pintado told AAP.
"If anyone finds any washed up on a beach, please let us know."

A lady lobster with four claws was pulled from the deep this week in the waters off Newport. With a large crusher claw and three pincher claws — instead of the usual one — the crustacean was unlike anything 39-year-old lobsterman Patrick Marks had ever seen in his 14 years catching the creatures.
All of the lobster's excess appendages worked. [...]
Marks told the Newport Daily News he sometimes lets lobsters go out of guilt when they look at him funny.

Los Angeles police have found the skeleton of an elderly woman, apparently dead for two years, in a foreclosed house where she had lived with her 48-year-old son.
Officials said they were trying to identify the woman they believe was Barbara Hunt, who would have been 86.
Media reports said the woman’s son, Robert Hunt, was at the home in North Hollywood when police arrived but had not been arrested.
The deterioration of the body, which was found on the bed in a back room, made it difficult to determine cause of death Craig Harve, a spokesman for the LA coroner said.
He said the woman was believed to have died in 2006.

BCS DECLARES GERMANY WINNER OF WORLD WAR II US Ranked 4th
After determining the Big-12 championship game participants the BCS computers were put to work on other major contests and today the BCS declared Germany to be the winner of World War II.
"Germany put together an incredible number of victories beginning with the annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland and continuing on into conference play with defeats of Poland, France, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands. Their only losses came against the US and Russia; however considering their entire body of work––including an incredibly tough Strength of Schedule––our computers deemed them worthy of the #1 ranking."
Questioned about the #4 ranking of the United States the BCS commissioner stated "The US only had two major victories––Japan and Germany. The computer models, unlike humans, aren't influenced by head-to-head contests––they consider each contest to be only a single, equally-weighted event."
German Chancellor Adolph Hiter said "Yes, we lost to the US; but we defeated #2 ranked France in only 6 weeks." Herr Hitler has been criticized for seeking dramatic victories to earn 'style points' to enhance Germany's rankings. Hitler protested "Our contest with Poland was in doubt until the final day and the conditions in Norway were incredibly challenging and demanded the application of additional forces."
The French ranking has also come under scrutiny. The BCS commented "
France had a single loss against Germany and following a preseason #1 ranking they only fell to #2."
Japan was ranked #3 with victories including Manchuria, Borneo and the Philippines

At first sight, the three women and a man who entered the Harry Winston store in Paris resembled the sophisticated international clientele that frequents this most exclusive of jewellers. But staff soon realised that something was amiss: the women were really men disguised in wigs and dresses, and all four visitors were holding guns.
They herded the 15 or so staff and customers into a corner – hitting some over the head – loaded necklaces, brooches, watches and other valuables into their bags, and made off with a haul valued at €85 million (£74 million).

It would be a slightly more believable article if they proofread their math.
Britney’s tight fitting Roberto Cavalli dress showed off around 70 per cent of her breasts, and experts at Wonderbra think she is a 32D. Without any nipple exposure, Britney’s formula works out as 0x70x(20x5+32)/75 = 123.2.
The first figure is a zero. Everything else multiplied by that zero, so the answer would be . . . zero, not 123.2 :wall:.

Malaysian man killed for hogging karaoke microphone (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/dec/05/karaoke-killing-malaysia/print)
A Malaysian karaoke enthusiast hogged the microphone for so long that people set upon him and stabbed him to death.
Abdul Sani Doli refused to hand over the microphone at a coffee shop that doubles as a karaoke bar in the town of Sandakan, Borneo. Two men have been arrested on suspicion of murder after the altercation erupted a few minutes before midnight. [...]
Karaoke rage is not unheard of in Asia. There have been several reported cases of singers being assaulted, shot or stabbed mid-performance, usually over how songs are sung.
Frank Sinatra's My Way has reportedly generated such outbursts of hostility that some bars in the Philippines now no longer offer it on the karaoke menu. In Thailand this year, a gunman shot eight people dead after tiring of their endless renditions of a John Denver tune.

Cartoon porn kids are people, judge says in Simpsons porn case (http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,24767202-2,00.html)
CARTOON characters are people too, a judge has ruled in the case of a man convicted over cartoons based on The Simpsons, in which children are shown having sex.
In the New South Wales Supreme Court today, Justice Michael Adams ruled that a fictional cartoon character was a "person" within the meaning of the relevant state and commonwealth laws.
Alan John McEwan was appealing his February conviction for possessing child pornography and using his computer to access child pornography.
"The alleged pornography comprised a series of cartoons depicting figures modelled on members of the television animated series The Simpsons," the judge said.
The cartoons showed characters such as Bart, Lisa and Maggie Simpson having sex.
McEwan was convicted and fined $3000 and placed on a good behaviour bond.
"In my view, the magistrate was correct in determining that, in respect of both the commonwealth and the NSW offences, the word 'person' included fictional or imaginary characters ...," the judge said.
"... The mere fact that the figure depicted departed from a realistic representation in some respects of a human being did not mean that such a figure was not a 'person'."
In dismissing the appeal, the judge ordered each party to pay its own legal costs in the first case dealing with the "difficult" issue.

The character played by Daniel Hoevels was supposed to commit suicide in the drama with a blunt stage weapon but had instead been provided with a real blade.
He collapsed on stage with blood pouring from his neck and the audience started to applaud the spectacular special effects.
It was only when Hoevels, 30, failed to get up to take a bow at Vienna's Burgtheater in Austria that they realised something was wrong.
Now police are investigating their own murder mystery drama – after refusing to rule out the possibility that the stunt may have been an attempt to bump off the actor by a jealous rival.

The body of Wang Diange, from the Chinese province of Inner Mongolia, was found in the wreckage of a house where he had been overseeing the wake of a previous family funeral, after mourners felt a loud explosion which took off half the roof.
As it was raining and thundery, they decided that the house, and Mr Wang in particular, had been struck by lightning. The police came to the same conclusion.
Further inquiries were made a few days later after Mr Wang's own funeral. As his body was being put into the cremation chamber, it blew up spectacularly, bursting the doors off the oven.
