When you love a horse, once is not enough (and of course it's Florida)
Tallahassee, Florida (WCTV) -- A Gadsden County man is accused of sneaking into a neighbor's barn and having sex with a horse.
It's the second time Patrick Linn has been arrested for it.
The owner of that horse can hardly believe Linn would return to the scene of the crime.
"I would say it's hard to believe, but I had a feeling he'd be back because I believe it's a compulsion type thing with him. I don't ... I just ... it's bad," Allen McDearmid said shaking his head.
Allen McDearmid says he knew there was trouble when his wife went to the barn and noticed some lubricant on the stall door.

Atheist society throw out of fair for 'blasphemous pineapple'
A group of atheist students were kicked out of their university's fresher fair because of a "blasphemous pineapple" named Mohammed.
The Reading University Atheist, Humanist and Secularist Society (RAHS) took part in the fair on Wednesday, in order to promote their upcoming debate "Should we respect religion?".
The society displayed a pineapple bearing the name Mohammed on their stall, to "encourage discussion about blasphemy, religion, and liberty".
"We wanted to celebrate the fact that we live in a country in which free speech is protected, and where it is lawful to call a pineapple by whatever name one chooses," a society spokesperson said.
Towards the afternoon, the group was informed they had to leave the fair by a member of Reading University Student Union (RUSU) staff. The reason given was several complaints had made against the offending pineapple, although RAHS members insist they were not made aware of any such protestations.
The society refused to remove the fruit due to their "commitment to freedom of expression", to which they were told by the RUSU member: "Either the pineapple goes, or you do."
A struggle ensued, wherein the pineapple was seized, but shortly returned to the owners, where it was re-christened Jesus.

“This is a significant bust, given the size of this operation,” is how a senior officer put it at the time, while proudly displaying garbage bags full of the dastardly daises.
That same officer, Staff Sergeant Wes Houston, now admits the plant haul was a mistake.
“In any investigation, police count public safety as our top priority — our decision to seize the plants was made with the best information we had at the time,” said Houston, leader of CFSEU-Lethbridge.
Police were certainly convinced they had a huge haul of pot — and this was not the opinion of some lone rookie, frisky at the prospect of a big drug raid.
This was the judgment of veteran officers from the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team — supposedly the best drug squad this province has to offer.
So many badges, and apparently, so little clue — at least when it comes to the difference between daisies and dope.
It’d be pure comedy if not for the damage the dubious raid may have caused.
There’s the garden.
These plants, called Montauk daisies, have been growing in Ryan Thomas Rockman’s yard for the past decade, and the once lush yard, tended by the avid gardener, is now trashed.

While police are saying little, eyewitnesses are recounting a terrifying scene in the early morning hours of today, with one woman saying she and her husband were awakened by the mournful howls of an animal in distress.
Looking out the front window, the couple saw a man wearing only a pair of boxer shorts and lying on top of a dog. She said she raced outside and saw the man biting the dog’s back and head.
“It was something out of a horror movie,” said the woman, who asked not be identified. “He was literally eating her alive. It was terrible.”
In the car with a friend, 18-year-old Tanner Comeau, of Petawawa, Ont., said he observed the black form of the pit pull lying in the middle of the intersection. At first, he thought the dog had been struck by a car. Then he saw the figure of a man leaning over the dog’s body.
Comeau said he and his friend screamed at the attacker before calling 911.
The pit bull was gushing blood as a circle of bystanders gathered to yell at the man.
“He had the dog in a choke hold and was biting it,” Comeau said. “He was trying to eat it or something.”
Witnesses were reluctant to approach the assailant, who was behaving erratically.
Finally, the dog ran off and was taken indoors by residents.
The woman said she wrapped the dog up in a blanket, and said she thought the man may have been the owner because he kept calling the dog Jessie.

Zombies.
So, there was a girl (boy?) who thought (s)he was born into the wrong body, and is now going through a process of sex change. You've heard that one before. The really weird thing is that you got a feeling that you've also seen the face before.

Grease thieves not slick enough to get away (hooray Wisconsin!)
JANESVILLE, WI—Two Illinois men were arrested early Wednesday morning after allegedly stealing $370 worth of used restaurant grease.
David W. Clark, 21, of Rockford, Ill., and Enrique Jaime, 28, of Rockton, Ill., were each arrested on a charge of theft, said Sgt. Aaron Ellis.
A Sanimax driver, who at 3:21 a.m. Wednesday was pulling into Wendy’s, 1530 Milton Ave., scared the thieves off, Ellis said.
But as he followed them to Interstate 90/39, he kept updating police, who caught up with the alleged thieves just as they drove onto on the I-90/39 ramp at Highway 14 South, Ellis said.
This isn’t the first time grease thieves have hit Janesville, Ellis said.
On June 22, police received several complaints from Sanimax that reported 6,700 pounds of grease, valued at $2,500, had been taken from a bunch of restaurants in the city, he said.
“It’s pretty profitable,” Ellis said, of the grease, he was told is valued at 37 cents a pound.
“They (thieves) pump the used grease from a restaurant grease trap, owned by Sanimax, then transport it to companies that buy it and use it as biodiesel fuel,” he said.
Grease taken Wednesday night was worth $370, Ellis said.
Wednesday night’s thieves also are not believed to be the same people involved in the June grease thefts based on reports from the driver, who gave police a different description of the earlier thieves, Ellis said.
“It looks like there’s multiple groups working this scheme,” he said.

Canadian Study finds Housing the Homeless is more Monetarily Efficient than the Status Quo
The study by Stephen Gaetz, director of the Canadian Homelessness Research Network, pulls together research from across Canada and the United States, which suggests it’s far cheaper to give a homeless person a place to live than to provide a patchwork of emergency services.
Mr. Gaetz says governments spend at least $4.5-billion a year dealing with homeless people, including the costs of emergency health care, mental-health services, law enforcement, shelters and food banks.
That’s because their use of the health system is high and unpredictable, because they often have run-ins with the law and because upon release from jail, they often end up homeless again.
Recent research done through the Mental Health Commission of Canada shows that providing support and housing to chronically homeless people can save taxpayers 54 cents on the dollar compared with the current approach.

Because Uranus is so far away, most telescopes can’t resolve much more than the bland facade that Voyager saw.

The results were presented at the American Astronomical Society’s Division of Planetary Sciences meeting in Reno, Nevada on Oct. 17.

Lesbian Koala Sex Orgies Rock Tender Australian Sensibilities
Female koalas indulge in lesbian "sex sessions", rejecting male suitors and attempting to mate with each other, sometimes up to five at a time, according to researchers.
The furry, eucalyptus-eating creatures appear to develop this tendency for same-sex liaisons when they are in captivity. In the wild, they remain heterosexual.
Scientists monitoring the marsupials with digital cameras counted three homosexual interactions for every heterosexual one.
"Some females rejected the advances of males that were in their enclosures, only to become willing participants in homosexual encounters immediately after," say the researchers.
"On several occasions more than one pair of females shared the same pole, and multiple females mounted each other simultaneously. At least one multiple encounter involved five female koalas."
One theory put forward by the researchers is that the females do it to attract males[.]

Village People: Our songs are not gay
Youtube Video
Camp disco icons Village People stunned fans by insisting there were NO gay overtones to their music.
The 70s group was formed to appeal primarily to gay clubbers — and all six singers dressed as gay fantasy figures. Their biggest hit YMCA includes the lyrics: “They have everything for young men to enjoy, You can hang out with all the boys.”
And In the Navy has the lines: “There is no need to wait, They’re signing up new seamen fast.”
Yet Felipe Rose, the original Native American character, said the group “are just a party band”. And David “Scar” Hodo, the group’s construction worker, said In The Navy was just about enlisting.
Hodo, 65, added: “People always talk about the double entendres. There was not one double entendre in the music.”
