Instead of plunging headfirst to their death in a pot of boiling water, 534 live lobsters escaped the dinner plate and belly flopped to freedom into the dark waters of the Atlantic Ocean. By Lauren Keiper, Reuters. gloucester, Mass | Fri Aug 5, 2011

A group of Tibetan Buddhists flanked the sides of a whale-watching boat at dusk on Wednesday, sprayed the lobsters with blessed water, clipped the bands binding their dangerous claws and released them one by one into the deep water below. The 30 Buddhists of all ages trekked to this northern Massachusetts fishing hub to buy 600 pounds of lobster from a seafood wholesaler and save the critters from imminent death. The lobster liberation was scheduled for August 3, which is Wheel Turning Day on this year’s Tibetan

lunar calendar, the anniversary of the first sermon Buddha taught. On this holiday, the merit for positive actions is multiplied many times.

and saved from slaughter. But here in New England, saving the lobsters and extending their lives – even if just for an hour – is most practical and a real way the group can make a difference in the lobsters’ existence and their own. “It’s rethinking the way you normally see these creatures,” said Victoria Fan, a graduate student who participated in the ceremony steps away from a sign for $15.99 lobster dinners. “You’re supposed to view them equally. Their happiness is as important as your happiness, their suffering is as important as your suffering,” a very excited fan said. q p9

SPAIN

Town to grow cannabis to pay off debt

A small town in northeastern Spain, believes it has found a novel way to pay of its debt: cultivating cannabis. REUTERS Tucked in the hills of one of Spain’s most picturesque regions, the Catalonian village of Rasquera has agreed to rent out land to grow marijuana, an enterprise the local authorities say will allow them to pay off their € 1.3 million debt in two years. Local authorities are keeping the location of the site top secret while Spain’s attorney general investigates the legality of the project. The Catalan regional government has also asked the village for further information about the plan. Spanish towns are swamped in debt after a decade-long construction boom that imploded in 2008. Almost one in four Spanish workers is jobless and many cities are months behind in salaries for street cleaners and other municipal employees. Spain’s central government

is now forcing local authorities to tighten their belts even further as a euro zone debt crisis drags on, forcing greater fiscal austerity onto most countries using the single European currency. The mayor of Rasquera, with 900 inhabitants, said the project will not only benefit locals, but also eliminate organized crime and the tax evasion associated with the cannabis industry thanks to government supervision. “We want to put an end to mafias, we want to finish with the black market, we want to put an end to the underground economy,” said Bernat Pellisa, Rasquera’s mayor of nine years said. “The only thing this humble mayor wants and has tried to do is to supervise all this in order to benefit society and the neighbors of our village,” he added.

The Barcelona Personal Use Cannabis Association (ABCDA) will pay Rasquera 54,170 € a month from July 2012 for a 15 hectare plot of land and local authorities hope the farm will generate 40 jobs in the village. Villagers Welcome Plan The proposal has sparked debate on the legality of cannabis in the EU. Spanish law allows the cultivation of cannabis as long as it is for “personal and shared use.” Trafficking, however, is punished with up to six years in jail. The mayor said residents of Rasquera have welcomed the initiative, as long as it abides by the law, and that he is responding to the wishes of the people. “It’s a potential solution for the government to pay our debt. They are working to check out if it’s legal and if they can regularize it. And if it is possible, then perfect,” Rasquera resident Josep Francesc, 22, said. For a 67-year-old woman who didn’t want to give her name, the project would only be acceptable if

the cannabis was used for medical purposes. “They say it is going to be used by laboratories, to produce medicine. If that is the goal, then welcome. There is almost no medicine that doesn’t use drugs. But if it is used in a different way, then I don’t agree,” she said. As cannabis must be planted in March, € 36,000 ($47,200) has already been paid and cultivation could begin shortly. Marta Suarez, spokeswoman of ABCDA, said the plantation in Rasquera was not a business-orientated project. “The goal is not to maximize our profits or produce as much as possible, but to produce with quality in a controlled environment to supply users...in a responsible, appropriate and informed manner,” she says. ABCDA has 5,000 members and is based in Barcelona, the capital of the Catalonia region. E

Will Slovaks walk over Chuck Norris to Austria? BRATISLAVA Slovaks have been voting overwhelmingly in favor of naming a new pedestrian and cycling bridge near their capital for 1980s action film and TV star Chuck Norris. The two other top names in the running for the bridge, which will span the Morava river and cross the border to Austria, were Maria Theresa after an Austro-Hungarian empress and the Devinska cycling bridge in honour of the closest village. Norris, a martial arts expertturned film star, is known for playing tough guy characters in such

classic movies as Lone Wolf McQuade, Missing in Action and The Delta Force. The actor’s work has become a popular source of kitschy fun among Slovaks and a mainstay for local jokes about macho strength and invincibility. The final decision will be up to a regional assembly. But regional Governor Pavol Freso has said it would follow the wishes of the people in the Internet ballot where Norris leads as the top choice for the bridge’s name. “As we have so far been building it in full sight of the public, we will seek that the name is accepted by the public as well,” he said. The voting will run until April. As of Thursday, 1,157 votes have backed Norris, 74% of the total. E R EU T E R S

While infidelity can occur at anytime in a relationship, there are certain times when it is more likely to occ ur than others. In addition, there are certain relationship factors which can dramatically increase the potential for infidelity. Throughout the life of nearly all relationships, there are four timetable events which can breed infidelity. After the First Year of Mar-

riage. This generally is a time at which most people would not consider the likelihood of infidelity to be that great. For this reason, it is also the time when affairs are the least detected. After the first year of marriage, the whirlwind ends, and routine begins to set in. The emotional high that both partners had been experiencing is gone. This leaves a void. It is similar to the effects of drugs. Once you are high and come back down, you want to get high again. The new husband or

Vatican lists “new sins” The list includes pollution By Philip Pullella

REUTERS Thou shall not pollute the Earth. Thou shall beware genetic manipulation. Modern times bring with them modern sins. So the Vatican has told the faithful that they should be aware of “new” sins such as causing environmental blight. The guidance came at the weekend when Archbishop Gianfranco Girotti, the Vatican’s number two man in the sometimes murky area of sins and penance, spoke of modern evils. whose outcome is difficult to predict Asked what he believed were to- and control,” he said. day’s “new sins,” he told the Vatican The Vatican opposes stem cell newspaper L’Osservatore Romano research that involves destruction that the greatest danger zone for of embryos and has warned against the modern soul was the largely un- the prospect of human cloning. charted world of bioethics.

saying issues such as climate change had become gravely important for the entire human race. Under Benedict and his predecessor John Paul, the Vatican has become progressively green. It has installed photovoltaic cells on buildings to produce electricity and hosted a scientific conference to discuss the ramifications of global warming and climate change, widely blamed on human use of fossil fuels. Girotti, who is number two in the Vatican “Apostolic Penitentiary,” which deals with matter of conscience, also listed drug trafficking and social and economic injustices as modern sins. But Girotti also bemoaned that fewer and fewer Catholics go to confession at all. He pointed to a study by Milan’s Catholic University that showed that up to 60 percent of Catholic faithful in Italy stopped going to confession. In the sacrament of Penance, Catholics confess their sins to a priest who absolves them. But the same study by the Catholic University showed that 30 percent of Italian Catholics believed that there was no need for a priest to be God’s intermediary and 20 percent felt uncomfortable talking about their sins to another person.

Mann ist Vater von 15 Kindern... und noch Jungfrau!

Die Nachkommenschaft von Trent Arsenault ist groß: Der 36-Jährige ist Vater von sage und schreibe 15 Kindern. Das Kuriose an der Sache: Der Mann ist noch Jungfrau – dafür aber eifriger Samenspender. Papa einer ganzen „Fußballmannschaft“ samt vier Ersatzspielern, ohne jemals näheren Kontakt mit einer Dame gehabt zu haben – nein, Trent Arsenault ist kein gewöhnlicher Vater. Der 36-Jährige ist aus Überzeugung „unberührt“. Als 16-Jähriger schloss er mit einem Freund einen Pakt, sein Leben der Wissenschaft zu widmen und niemals zu heiraten, berichtet das „New York Magazine“. Der Freund betrachtet das heute als eine Art Jugendspinnerei. Arsenault dagegen, der in einer streng religiösen Familie aufwuchs, hielt sich an sein Versprechen - und für ihn bedeutete das auch: kein Sex. Bis heute ist er nicht vor den Traualter getreten – und nach eigenen Angaben immer noch Jungfrau. Das hindert ihn aber nicht daran, Paare fleißig beim Kinderwunsch zu unterstützen. „Hundert Prozent

Italian prosecutors believe pizza in the southern city of Naples may be baked in ovens lit with wood from coffins dug up in the local cemetery, Italian daily Il Giornale reported on Monday. “Pizza, one of the few symbols of Naples that endures... is hit by the concrete suspicion that it could be baked with wood from coffins,” Il Giornale said. Investigators in Naples are setting their sights on the thousands of small, lower-end pizza shops and bakeries that dot the city on suspicion that the owners may “use wood from caskets to keep ovens burning.” Naples’ graveyard has long been hunting ground for thieves: last year, 5,000 flower pots were stolen from the cemetery. “A gang might have set up a market for coffins sold to hard-hearted owners of bakeries and pizzerias

looking to save money on wood,” Il Giornale said. According to tradition, Neapolitan pizza should be cooked in a stone oven with an oak-wood fire. Neapolitan pizza was invented between 1715 and 1725, with the world-famous Margherita variant first cooked up in 1889. Tradition has it that queen Margherita of Savoy asked one of Naples’ famed pizzaioli to come up with a dish for the people. The result, which provides the basis for most pizzas enjoyed around the world, represented the colours of recently unified Italy: green basil, white mozzarella and red tomatoes. Italy’s estimated 25,000 pizzerias employ around 150,000 people and account for a turnover of 5.3 billion euros (6.5 billion dollars).

The lack of combat-ready underwear for Sweden’s women in uniform has been a continuing sore point for the Swedish Conscription Council (Värnpliktstrådet). “Our opinion is that the Swedish Armed Forces should have ordered good, flame-proof underwear,” Council spokesperson Paulina Rehbinder told The Local. “There should be suitable apparel for women.” The poor quality of the standard-issue sports bras prompted a group by female soldiers at the LV 6 military base in Halmstad to voice their displeasure to represen-

tatives from the Council recently. The women complained that the bras’ fasteners have a tendency to come undone when the women performed rigorous exercise, forcing the female soldiers to take off all of their equipment in order to refasten the brassieres. In addition, the bras aren’t flame resistant and, once lit, can melt onto conscripts’ skin, the GöteborgsPosten (GP) newspaper reports. The Council’s Rehbinder accuses Sweden’s military establishment of dragging its feet on the issue. “It has not been a priority for the higher ups because women make up only around five percent of the Swedish armed forces,” Rebinder said, adding that the problem of suitable clothing has existed for more than two decades. But she hopes a fresh batch of Swedish military recruits may help press the issue with the Armed Forces’ top brass. “Earlier this year the National Service Administration (Pliktverket) informed them that around 2‚000 female recruits were due to enter the service next year. That got them moving,” she said. THE ONION

Bear-safety lecture in Yellowstone interrupted by bear The brown bear of northwest North America, its brown fur has cream or white hair tips on the back, giving a grizzled appearance often shortened to grizzly

YELLOWSTONE PARK

Just two days after a rare fatal mauling by a mother grizzly in Yellowstone National Park, a black bear interrupted the taping of a television news segment on bear safety. The odd close encounter on Friday featured a group of kayakers assisting a hiker in her effort to avoid the bear, and was captured on video by a visiting cable news crew. Park officials said on Monday that the bear seen in the footage appeared to be minding its own business and posed no immediate threat to the hiker. In the fatal bear attack on Wednesday, Yellowstone’s first since 1986, an adult female grizzly with two cubs charged after and killed a park visitor who was believed to have inadvertently startled the animal while hiking with his wife.

That incident resulted from the grizzly acting to defend her young against a perceived threat, park officials said last week. The bear involved was allowed to roam free afterward, but its whereabouts are being monitored for the time being. On Friday, a CNN news crew was working at a different location with Yellowstone bear biologist Kerry Gunther and park spokesman Dan Hottle. They were taping a bear-safety story when they spotted hiker Erin Prophet and a nearby black bear. As Prophet backed away from the bear, she found herself at the edge of a lake where the bear was headed. Dave Beecham, one of three people in a nearby kayak, paddled over to help Prophet swim away from the bear. Although the bear never charged and did not appear to be directly threatening her, Prophet told the camera crew that she was scared,

Afraid the grizzly bear was going to come after us DAVE beecham

and glad for the help. “When the guys in the kayak offered to pull me across, that seemed like a better plan because the bear seemed like it wanted to be down there by the edge,” Prophet said. Beecham, visiting the park from Oregon, had his son and fatherin-law in the kayak during the incident. He later told KGW news of Portland that he felt compelled to help, but he was also “afraid the grizzly bear was going to come after us.” Hottle said the black bear, initially misidentified as a juvenile

grizzly, appeared disinterested in Prophet and was just trying to get to the water. “That was what we refer to as an incident within an incident,” Hottle told Reuters on Monday, joking that he worried some might think the encounter was staged. Hottle had taken the news crew to Joffe Lake, a five-minute drive from park headquarters in Mammoth Hot Springs, Wyoming. As Gunther was about to demonstrate how to use a concentrated pepper spray designed to deter bears, someone nearby sounded the alarm about the bear. He said he doubted the incident would have raised eyebrows were it not for the presence of news cameras in the wake of an exceptionally rare fatal mauling two days earlier. Yellowstone spokeswoman Linda Miller said the park has received hundreds of media inquiries about the fatal attack. Sales of bear spray were up sharply at a camping supply store in Cody, Wyoming, near the park’s East Entrance. “People are definitely talking about it when they come in,” said Amber Bryant of Sunlight Sports. “Some people have actually changed their minds and decided not to go hiking at all.” She added that most customers have decided to proceed with their backcountry plans. Gunther told reporters last week that the fatal bear attack was a “1-in-3-million” chance encounter, and that bear-related injuries in the park normally average just one each year.

Na nápad mladý Němec přišel, když cestoval a celník se ho v žertu zeptal: Jaké máte jméno na Facebooku? Leingruberovi přišla tato věta vtipná, ale zároveň trochu děsivá.

UFOAlarm:

Planeten-Duo geht auf Tuchfühlung Wer derzeit nach der Abenddämmerung den Blick nach oben schweifen lässt, der kann bei klarem Himmel zwei rätselhafte, nahe beieinander liegende Lichter sehen. Die Folge: Bei Werner Walter, Betreiber einer bundesweiten UFO-Meldestelle, steht das Telefon nicht mehr still. Außerirdischen-Besuch oder falscher Alarm? Wir haben uns von dem UFOExperten aufklären lassen. Georg Müller D-PRESSE.com

Roboholky z vrakoviště tancují u tyče Video △ Připadá vám striptýz pro ženy ponižující? Dobrá zpráva. V budoucnosti je nahradí robotky. Ve Velké Británii už se na tom pracuje. Již několik let pracuje čtyřiačtyřicetiletý sochař a techik Giles Walker z Velké Británie na robotkách, které by zvládaly složitou choreografii tanečnic u tyče. A jeho snažení fandí spousty lidí po celém světě. Poprvé své roboty představil v roce 2006 na akci, kterou připravovala nezávislá iniciativa Mutate Britain. Naposledy se svými robostriptérkami nadchl o víkendu návštěvníky největšího počítačového veletrhu CeBIT v německém Hannoveru. Zájemci si dokonce mohli robota i koupit. „Moji roboti nejsou žádné drahé technologické vymoženosti,“ řekl Metru Walker. „Ve skutečnosti je mnohdy vytvářím na koleni a používám k tomu součástky, které najdu na vrakovišti. Jako motory jim slouží motorky ze stěračů od auta,“ svěřil se inovátor. Pohyby robotů procházejí vývojem a dnes už jsou velice realistické. „Musel jsem hodně chodit do striptýzových klubů a dívat se na vlnící se zadky, abych mohl ten pohyb věrně napodobit,“ přiznal se Walker.

Werner Walter glühen die Ohren in diesen Tagen. Der Grund: Immer mehr Meldungen über mysteriöse Lichter am Himmel gehen bei seiner bundesweiten UFO-Meldestelle ein. Die meisten der Anrufer beschreiben das Gleiche: zwei ungewöhnliche, leicht versetzte Lichtpu,nkte am Nachthimmel. Sie blinken nicht, weshalb es sich dabei nicht um Flugzeuge handeln kann. Kommen sie nun doch, um uns zu holen, die Außerirdischen? Jupiter und Venus gehen derzeit auf Tuchfühlung Mit dieser Frage geraten die Anrufer bei Werner

Unbewohnte Insel bekommt öffentliche Toilette Eine unbewohnte Insel im hohen Norden Schottlands bekommt eine öffentliche Toilette. Das stille Örtchen soll rund 50 000 Pfund (60 000 Euro) kosten, berichtete der britische Sender BBC am Montag unter Berufung auf den schottischen Naturschutzverein Scottish Wildlife Trust. Die Toilette werde für die rund 6000 Vogelbeobachter gebraucht, die jährlich im Frühling und Sommer auf die etwa 309 Hektar große Insel Handa pilgerten. Bisher gibt es nur eine kleine Schutzhütte mit eine Toilette für die Freiwilligen, die dort arbeiten. Das Fundament für das Häuschen müsse mehr als zwei Meter tief sein, damit es dem starken Wind standhalte. Da es kein fließendes Wasser gibt, müssen die Benutzer Sägespähne streuen. Gesäubert wird alle zwei Jahre.

Walter an den Richtigen. Seine UFO-Meldestelle mit Sitz in Mannheim hat es sich zum Ziel gesetzt, angebliche UFO-Rätsel mit natürlich-wissenschaftlichen Erklärungen zu lösen. Und so kann Walter auch in diesem Fall Entwarnung geben: Die Lichtpunkte sind lediglich einer äußerst spannenden astronomische Konstellation zu verdanken, die insgesamt etwa drei Tage andauert, wie Walter im Gespräch mit Yahoo! Nachrichten erklärt. Dabei wandern die Planeten Venus und Jupiter ungewöhnlich nah aneinander vorbei. Wer die beiden Lichter noch sehen möchte, der sollte

sich beeilen. „Morgen Abend Himmel - ein so gutes Foto wie das hier gezeigte von gehen die beiden Planeten Tom Hottel dürfte derzeit wieder auseinander“, so der nicht vielen gelingen.

LOUISA, LA DONNA CON LA FOBIA PER I BOTTONI Luca e Paolo absurdity is nothing Si chiama Louisa Francis ha 30 anni, viene da Newcastle in Inghilterra e rappresenta una delle pochissime persone al mondo a soffrire di Koumpounophobia, ovvero la paura per i bottoni. Quando la donna vede un bottone infatti, è presa da un attacco di panico e rimane quasi paralizzata dalla paura. Tutto iniziò all’età di circa 7 anni, dopo che insieme ai suoi amici aveva fatto un gioco con i bottoni che la terrorizzò a tal punto da farla scappare di corsa. Da allora Louisa rabbrividisce al solo pensiero dei bottoni. «Il peggior incidente che mi capitò fu quando mi trovavo ad Asda (una catena di supermercati), la cassiera indossava una giacca completamente ricoperta di bottoni e come se non bastasse, anche il suo bracciale

era fatto con bottoni. E proprio questi, ogni volta che passava un prodotto allo scanner, si avvicinavano a me facendo rumore; mi hanno fatto venire un attacco di panico e non sono più riuscita a mantenere la calma. Sono scappata senza prendere la spesa, mentre tutti mi guardavano.» – ricorda con ansia la donna. I bottoni in casa Francis sono vietati, tutti i suoi vestiti e quelli di sua figlia Bobby hanno la zip o semplicemente si indossano senza essere allacciati. «So benissimo che non possono farmi niente e che da soli non si muovono neanche, ma c’è qualcosa in me che scatta quando ne vedo uno.» «Gli unici bottoni che riesco a sopportare sono quelli di ferro dei jeans, perché hanno una forma diversa e un aspetto diverso rispetto a quelli di plastica.» Ma coma avrà fatto a fare le foto per i giornali? •

Warning

Manchester MAN a Suspect in Infamous Art HeisT By David Moran the granbys patch com manchester The FBI believes that a 75-year old Manchester man might have information about one of the most infamous art heists in history, according to the Hartford Courant. Robert Gentile, a 75-year old Manchester resident with alleged mod ties, appeared for a bail hearing in a U.S. District Court in Hartford on Wednesday on a drug arrest in February,

To this day, the Gardner Museum continues to offer a $5 million reward. according to the Courant, but federal prosecutors told the judge that they believed Gentile had knowledge of the whereabouts of 13 priceless paintings stolen from Boston’s Isabella Stewart

Gardner Museum in March of 1990. The theft occurred early on the morning after St. Patrick’s Day, according to the Gardner Museum, when two thieves dressed as police officers gained access to the museum, bound the security guards and made off with 13 paintings in total, including works by Rembrandt, Edgar Degas, Edouard Manet and rare work by Vermeer. The Courant estimates that the 13 paintings could be worth more than $500 million. •

Actor Matthew McConaughey Agrees

Pop Stars To Consolidate If the merger is successful, additional pop mergers have been planned, including a combination of Eric Clapton and Phil Collins.

los angeles Aging pop stars Elton John and Billy Joel will combine into one artist, tentatively named Billy John, record industry executives announced Monday. The two stars’ identical babyboomer audience, as well as the similarities in their inoffensive, adult-oriented songwriting style, were cited as reasons for the change. Face it, in today’s market, there’s just less and less room for more than one artist in this niche, Billy John

spokesperson Sol Herberger said. A computer-generated image combining the two singers into one person has already been signed as the new spokesman for Coke, and a deluxe box set will be released this December.

Padre de trillizas afirma que solo un a es suya

Die Wahrheit über das weltbekannte Nessie-Bild

Das weltweit bekannteste „Beweisbild“ von Nessie zeigt das Seeungeheuer in klaren Umrissen aus dem schottischen See Loch Ness auftauchen. Seit der Veröffentlichung der Aufnahme im Jahr 1934 strömen Scharen von Touristen dorthin – in der Hoffnung, das Monster selbst zu sehen. Doch die Erklärung für das mysteriöse Foto ist nicht nur sehr einfach, sondern auch höchst unterhaltsam. Im Jahr 1934 ging ein Bild um die Welt. Darauf zu sehen: Nessie, das ominöse Monster von Loch Ness. Aufgenommen wurde es von dem Arzt Robert Kenneth Wilson. Neu war die Nachricht, dass in den Tiefen des Sees ein Monster leben soll, schon damals nicht. Bereits um 565 wurde es erstmals schriftlich erwähnt. In der „Vita Columbae“ des Abtes Adamnan wird berichtet, wie der Heilige das Leben eines Mannes rettete, der im Loch Ness von einem Ungeheuer angegriffen wurde. Seitdem beri-

chteten immer wieder angebliche Augenzeugen von der Sichtung des Monsters und beschrieben es in allen möglichen Größen und Formen. Doch keines der Fotos zeigte Nessie so klar und deutlich sie das von Wilson, veröffentlicht in der britischen Zeitung „The Daily Mail“. Es zeigt den typischen langen Hals mit dem kleinen, reptilartigen Kopf, den bis heute jeder mit Nessie in Verbindung bringt. In Wahrheit handelte es sich bei dem Seeungeheuer um ein selbstgebautes Monster mit einem Spielzeug-U-Boot als Untersatz. Die Idee dazu hatte Marmaduke Wetherell, der zuvor für die „Daily Mail“ gearbeitet und sich über das schlechte Arbeitsverhältnis geärgert hatte. Um sich bei seinen Vorgesetzten zu rächen, beauftragte er Wilson und einen anderen Mann namens Maurice Chambers damit, eine künstliche Nessie zu bauen, sie zu fotografieren und der Zeitung anzubieten. Der Schwindel flog erst im Jahr 1994 auf, als Wetherell seinem Sohn am Sterbebett die Wahrheit verriet. 60 Jahre lang galt das Bild vielen als Beweis des schottischen Seebewohners – und dem Mythos Nessie konnte die Demaskierung bis heute keinen Abbruch tun. n

Luis Daniel, de 20 años, tiene claro de que si una mujer da a luz a mas de un bebe en el mismo parto, significa que ha tenido otras relaciones con distintos hombres. El joven afirma que solo una de las tres hijas nacidas del vientre de su mujer es suya. Los médicos intentaron convencer al joven que es imposible su razonamiento y que por lógica, es el padre de las tres niñas. Pero todo a sido en vano, ya que sigue afirmando que las otras dos criaturas son fruto de varias infidelidades de su mujer. Glenys Cenith, su mujer, afirma que no ha compartido cama con ningún hombre, y que simplemente es un caso mas de trillizos. Lo mas insólito es que no es solo el joven, casi todo el pueblo de San Pedro en Colombia piensan igual. Todo se debe a que no están acostumbrados que las mujeres tengan mellizos, gemelos o trillizos, y piensan que la esposa del muchacho estuvo con tres hombres distintos o incluso sea un castigo divino. n Noticias que te puede interesar: n Gato detecta cáncer de mama a su dueña y salva su vida n Se divorcia de su esposa porque cree que es una extraterrestre n Una joven adicta a beber gasolina n Tres de las muertes mas curiosas e insólitas de la historia n Le dispararon pero la cartera paró la bala

Amanda, la donna follemente innamorata della Statua della Libertà Chi nella vita non ha mai desiderato di essere sempre allegro e felice? Una fortuna che purtroppo non a tutti è concessa.

Stiamo parlando del signor Huug Bosse, che nulla ha a che fare con il noto stilista Hugo Boss. Il signor Boss fino a qualche anno fa era un uomo normale, senza nessun particolare disturbo. Tutto cambiò però quando si sottopose nel 2010 ad un’operazione chirurgica per porre rimedio ad un problemino all’anca. Durante l’intervento gli fu sostituita completamente una parte dell’anca e l’uomo fu sottoposto ad anestesia totale. Da allora l’uomo non riesce a portare avanti una conversazione senza scoppiare in una fragorosa risata. La causa di questa condizione non è tuttora nota, anche se i medici sospettano che possa essere una conseguenza dell’anestesia. Sicuramente il video vi strapperà un sorriso, la sua

risata infatti per i primi 5 minuti può apparire divertente; la moglie però dice ormai di non poterne più. “Convivere con una persona che non fa altro che ridere, anche nei momenti più importanti, è sicuramente irritante con il passare del tempo. Neanche la figlia e il fratello lo sopportano più” racconta la moglie. Huug però non si rende conto della situazione e continua a ridere imperterrito. Per lui infatti nulla è mai cambiato e il fatto che gli altri si arrabbino con lui non fa altro che provocargli altre risate. E voi riuscireste a vivere con una persona così?

Si sottopone a 10 operazioni chirurgiche per somigliare ad un personaggio manga Ormai viviamo in un mondo in cui la chirurgia plastica e i ritocchi sono diventati la norma e non più l’eccezione. Ma chi non si meraviglierebbe nell’incontrare una giovane donna Singaporiana del tutto uguale alle ragazze che si vedono sui manga? Stiamo parlando di Jacqueline Koh, una donna di 29 anni che negli ultimi 2 anni ha subito 10 operazioni di chirurgia plastica per assomigliare sempre più ad un fumetto giapponese. Per raggiungere l’obiettivo sono stati necessari 136mila dollari e svariate ore in sala operatoria per ricostruire e modificare naso, bocca, zigomi, mento, seno e occhi. Tutto è cominciato con un trattamento di Vaser Lipo, una particolare operazione simile alla liposuzione. In quel caso, l’esperienza fu traumatica, il medico face un lavoro poco professionale e Koh, finì per ingrassare invece di dimagrire. Nonostante questo la donna non si è fatta scoraggiare ed è tornata più convinta che mai da un altro chirurgo,

sottoponendosi ad un processo di rinvigorimento della pelle e del viso. A seguire le altre operazioni che hanno interessato gran parte del suo corpo, la più complessa delle quali, probabilmente è stata quella per ridefinire la forma del viso. La ragazza, oltre all’aspetto da perenne cosplay, dichiara di averlo fatto anche per potersi sentire più bella (voi dite che ha raggiunto l’obiettivo) e nega di aver in programma altre operazioni per il momento. Per quanto riguarda la reazione delle altre persone, Koh, ci svela che moltissime donne le hanno sul suo blog personale per chiedere consigli e informazioni riguardanti il suo chirurgo personale. Quasi nessuno secondo lei avrebbe avuto da ridire sul suo nuovo aspetto. n

I’m only thinking of the bad movies. as the movie was released in 1988, in the days before you had no choice but to either play cassette tapes that broke frequently or listen to terrestrial radio. I did not, as they say, have the time of my life. HA! ZING! Anyway, if you have to wait 16 years for a sequel to come out, you know there are problems. As if you couldn’t tell by the lack of Jennifer Grey and only a cameo by Patrick Swayze. Oh, and a little thing like changing the setting from the Catskills to (naturally) Cuba. Oof. 2. Grease 2 (1982) – Are you seeing a pattern here? If the sequel doesn’t have the original stars, then, generally, it doesn’t stand a chance. Welp, this one did have Michelle Pfeiffer in it.

Gericht: Wunschnachname „Kö“ geht nicht de.nachrichten.yahoo.com Eine transsexuelle Frau ist in Düsseldorf mit dem Versuch gescheitert, ihren Nachnamen in „Kö“ umzuwandeln. „Kö“ sei kein Nachname, sondern eine Abkürzung für die Prachtmeile Königsallee in der Landeshauptstadt, entschied das Düsseldorfer Verwaltungsgericht am Donnerstag (Az.: K 120/10). Das Kürzel gehöre zum Allgemeingut der Stadt.

Nach der Geschlechtsumwandlung hatte die Klägerin den mütterlichen Nachnamen ablegen wollen und bei der Stadt den zwei Buchstaben langen Familiennamen beantragt. Die Wahl sei zufällig darauf gefallen, betonte die Frau. Sie wolle die Initialen A.K. behalten. Die männlichen Vornamen hatte sie bereits in weibliche ändern dürfen. Das Namensrecht erlaubt, aus wichtigem Grund den Nachnamen zu ändern und einen neuen auszuwählen. Einen Rechtsanspruch auf einen Wunschnamen gebe es aber nicht, betonten die Verwaltungsrichter. Die Klägerin will das Urteil anfechten. n
