China clears murderer after 'victim' shows up alive

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8671577.stm

A Chinese man who spent almost 10 years in jail for murder has been freed after his supposed victim was found alive.

Zhao Zuohai had a fight with his neighbour, who then disappeared, and was charged when a headless, decomposed body was found 18 months later.

That's some wicked anger management issues going on there.

The miscarriage of justice came to light when the neighbour, Zhao Zhenshang, returned to his village in Henan province to seek welfare support.

Then who's headless, decomposing body was that?

He had fled after their fight because he feared he had killed Zhao Zuohai.

What? Is it their Zhoa lucky day?

Mr Zhao's conviction for murder was reportedly based mainly on a confession.

His brother said police had forced him to drink chilli-tainted water and set off fireworks above his head in order to make him confess

That's the way our brother's use to make us check the basement back door....Ooo, spooky!

Man dressed as Snoopy in 'worst attempted jail-break ever'

A man who tried to break into prison to free an inmate while dressed as the cartoon character Snoopy is being held under the Mental Health Act.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/7704213/Man-dressed-as-Snoopy-in-worst-attempted-jail-break-ever.html

Prison wardens were baffled when they were confronted by the character from the Peanuts cartoon trying to break down a staff door while apparently waving a gun.

The man and an accomplice, who were attempting to free a relative from HMP Isle of Wight, went on to hurl concrete missiles at prison officers' cars.

A prison source told The Sun: "It's not every day you see a giant cartoon dog go on the rampage after trying to break into a prison. They weren't exactly inconspicuous but they were taken seriously because they appeared to have a gun.

Elvis' Doc Gives Straight Poop on King's Colon

Updated: 7 hours 13 minutes ago

AOL News

(May 10) -- Elvis Presley might be alive today if only he had a little less constipation and a lot more action.

That's the straight poop from Dr. George Nichopoulos, 83, who served as Presley's private physician from 1967 until his untimely death on his toilet seat in 1977. The cause was widely reported as cardiac arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, possibly brought on by drug dependency, obesity and a weak heart.

County gets custody of child and 10 minor siblings

Police charged a Northside woman with endangering children after she left her 3-year-old in a Walmart store Thursday night and didn't realize the girl was missing until Friday morning, when a relative told her she had seen the child on the news, according to the official complaint filed Friday in Hamilton County court.

Louisville man going to prison for tattoo on tot

 

CANTON —

Whatever his reasoning, Lee M. Deitrick thought it wise to tattoo a toddler's bottom.

It wasn't even his child.

Now the 20-year-old Louisville man has learned his punishment. He was sentenced Wednesday to three years in prison.

Deitrick pleaded guilty in Stark County Common Pleas Court to two felony child endangering charges as part of a plea deal with county prosecutors.

Deitrick tattooed the outline of the letter "A" on the child's buttock. The mark covers about one-half inch.Deitrick watched the child  — whose name begins with "A" — often, O'Byrne said.

"There was no malice," he said. "More of an error in judgment."


His 3-year term will start after he completes his current prison sentence for previous, unrelated convictions. He had been released early for felony domestic violence and misdemeanor violating a protection order convictions. That 18-month prison term was reimposed in February.

SNOPES!!! Take care....B-ware

The email warning was sent out by Washtenaw County Sheriff's Deputy Keith Mansell in April 2010 after he discovered two Drano {or "works"} bombs left in the yards of residents of York Township, Michigan.
These concoctions of Drano brand drain cleaner (i.e., sodium hydroxide), water, and aluminum foils in plastic bottles can indeed produce quite a dangerous explosion.

You Can Fire My Body, But My Soul Will Remain At Chesterfield Mutual
....do not weep for me, dear friends. For though my earthly form may be banished from these hallowed halls, take heart that my soul will remain wandering forever here, at Chesterfield Mutual.

My soul stayed at my former job too, however, they had an exorcist come in and soon my body and soul were reunited. This was to the relief and satisfaction of my husband, children, family and friends; who mentioned the utter bizarre way my body shuffled around soul-less for nearly two years.

And as an added bonus...Another FTDOPY!!

Well, at least he can say, "Well at least I married the second one...Wasn't that Bigamy?!"

And as a bonus story, an idiot in Australia:

So do they only allow stupid people to use boats in England?  As a follow up to the guy who ran out of gas motoring around and around the island last week.  They even towed this boat to the same island!
