Felix you crazy Cat !

http://wcbstv.com/watercooler/local_story_206123617.html

A man charged with improperly disposing of a corpse claims he chopped up his friend's body, stuffed the parts in a metal drum and rolled it into a river in a panic after the friend died of a drug overdose, police said. The drum, with the body parts inside, was found floating in the Pequonnock River in Bridgeport last week.

Felix Rivera, 23, was charged Tuesday with improper disposal of a dead body after he told police his story of what happened to Charles Gerber, police Lt. James Viadero said. Police said Rivera told them he and Gerber had been celebrating their release from jail following arrests on assault and weapons-related charges. Gerber, 34, had taken pills, drunk alcohol and smoked the hallucinogen PCP on July 17 before Rivera discovered he had stopped breathing, according to police. Rivera told police he became "paranoid" and decided to hide the body in a metal drum.

When the 5-foot-9, 180-pound body didn't fit, he used an ax to cut off the head, hands and feet, police said. Police said Rivera then put the drum full of body parts in his car, drove to a boat ramp and rolled it in. Rivera was being held in lieu of $100,000 bail.

Colar bomb madness !!


JULY 11--The Pennsylvania pizza delivery man who stuck up a bank and then was killed when a bomb attached to his neck exploded was a coconspirator in the bizarre 2003 scheme. In an indictment unsealed today, Brian Wells is identified as a participant in the plot to rob a PNC Bank branch in Erie. A copy of the indictment can be found below. According to investigators, Wells and several other coconspirators hatched the robbery scheme, which involved Wells going into the bank with a homemade bomb locked around his neck. Wells is pictured at right in a bank surveillance photo. After he walked out with $8702, Wells was apprehended by cops. At that point, he claimed that the device was strapped on him by unknown gunmen who accosted him after he delivered pizzas to them. While waiting for the bomb squad to arrive and examine the homemade device, it exploded, killing the 46-year-old Wells. The three-count indictment charges Marjorie Diehl Armstrong and Kenneth Barnes with bank robbery, conspiracy, and weapons possession. Armstrong allegedly hatched the plot because she needed money to pay Barnes to kill her father. While it does not appear her father was murdered, Armstrong was subsequently convicted of killing James Roden, her live-in boyfriend, "to keep him from disclosing the bank robbery plan that was being formulated by the co-conspirators.

Drinking does not kill brain cells !! Woohoo

ALCOHOL may make you act like an idiot temporarily, but Queensland scientists have discovered that it won't damage your brain permanently.
New research to be revealed at a conference of some of the world's top neuroscientists in Cairns today has found booze does not kill off brain cells as previously thought.
Queensland Brain Institute director Professor Perry Bartlett said there was no evidence the consumption of alcohol led directly to the death of brain cells.

Crazy Llama.

Police have arrested a man who was drunkenly walking naked along the railroad tracks on Monday night for indecent exposure, criminal trespassing, annoying children, resisting arrest and being under the influence.

Police first heard about Jorge Lopez Llamas, a 24-year-old man from Napa, when a resident reported seeing a man walking naked on N. McDowell Boulevard just after 5 p.m., according to Petaluma police. The resident also stated that Llamas had masturbated in front of her and her child.

Responding officers found Llamas walking southbound along the railroad tracks from Southpoint Boulevard, according to police. When police attempted to detain Llamas he fought back and officers used a Taser to try and control him. Llamas did not submit to the Taser, so he was controlled with maximum restraint.

Taking your bike for a ride

A MAN has been charged with having sex with his bike.
Robert Stewart was allegedly caught in the act by two terrified cleaners who walked into his bedroom in a hostel.
Stewart has denied the accusation, claiming it was caused by a misunderstanding after he had too much to drink.
The 51-year-old bachelor was charged with the bizarre sexual offence after he was disturbed by the cleaner and her colleague in a private hostel in Ayr.
The charge alleges he conducted himself in a disorderly manner, simulated sex with a bicycle and continued to do so while naked from the waist down in the presence of two female employees.
Stewart had been living in the Aberley House hostel from October 2006 after moving from his council house in Girvan, Ayrshire.
He moved after a separate sex complaint to which he has pleaded not guilty at Ayr Sheriff Court.

Sam's unseen but highly recommended movie suggestion !



Yo-Yo Girl Cop ...


K (pop starlette Aya Matsuura; blood type: B! favorite color: pink! favorite food: cookie dough ice cream!) is living on the mean streets of New York City and she's so dangerous that the NYPD deports her to Japan. There she meets up with Kira (Riki Takeuichi) a Japanese cop who wants her to go undercover in a local high school that has started generating lesbian, schoolgirl suicide bombers. K finally agrees and receives her weapon of choice: a razor-sharp yo-yo that keeps bonking her in the head every time she tries to use it. Too bad, because the alpha mean girl at the school, Reika (pop starlette, Rika Ishikawa (Blood type: A! Favorite color: pink! Dislikes: birds!) is also...a terrorist.

Tooth and claw girl fights to settle the fate of the world! High school soapoperatics that result in suicide bombings! Warehouse shoot-outs! Yo-yobattle! Remove your brain and place it somewhere safe before attending thisflick, and prepare to be marinated in 99 minutes of kitsch pop cultureapocalyptic noise that plays like Hello Kitty meets 24.

TRIVIA: Aya Matsuura, along with Maki Fujimoto, is GAM - a bubblegum pop duo that performed the YO-YO GIRL COP's main theme song. GAM is one of the many female groups created by producer/sonwriter Tsunku, under the umbrella of the Hello! Project.

Here Tsunku' provides some insights into what GAM is all about: "...the theme for these two is to deliver song which radiates from their legs and echoes within your heart! lets do that! A unit which sings a cool song with a dress that attracts people with their 'beautiful wonderful legs' is what we're aiming for!"


"Directed by Kenta Fukasaku, son of Kinji (Battle Royale), this 'trash-tastic guilty pleasure' pits the eponymous heroine against a high-school conspiracy of lesbian suicide bombers. Arigato, NYAFF!" - Nathan Lee, the Village Voice
"...brings to life a common teenage fantasy of defying various adult authority figures, putting the fear of God into one's enemies - and doing really neat stuff with a yo-yo."­ Mark Schilling, Japan Times

Coked up corn field carnage


It may look like the latest aliens to land on our planet have been drinking and driving, but these bizarre patterns, discovered in a corn field in Holland, have a much more mundane explanation.
They were made by a drug user who was attempting to escape from police in his father's car. The man had been using cocaine.
Four police cars were damaged in a desperate attempt to prevent the crazed driver from reaching public roads, but they could not save the crop from irrepairable damage.
In the end, the man was captured when he crashed the car into a ditch.

Crazy Man loves himself too much

A Brisbane woman stabbed a male friend twice in the shower after he refused to stop masturbating in front of her children.
Defence lawyers for Kylie Louise Wilson, 28, said the mother of two "lost it" when her friend of six years, Daniel Peter Blair, went on a masturbation marathon on April 6 last year.
Brisbane's District Court this morning heard Mr Blair had showed up at Wilson's Birkdale unit, in Redland Shire, where he took amphetamines before having a shower.
Whilst in the bathroom, Mr Blair, 32, began pleasuring himself, before moving to Wilson's bedroom, where he rolled around naked on her bed and continued his lewd conduct.
He returned to the bathroom for more and was busted by Wilson, who was attempting to bath her three-and-a-half year-old daughter.
The court heard Mr Blair refused her repeated requests to stop, prompting her to fetch a knife from the kitchen which she used to stab him twice in the left shoulder.
Crown prosecutors said Mr Blair paused only to put on his shorts and flee outside to wait for police to arrive, but was again overcome by the urge.
"Despite his injury, it seems (Mr Blair) continued to masturbate while in the garage," the prosecutor said.
Police took him to hospital where he received treatment for the minor stab wounds.
Wilson pleaded guilty to one count each of unlawful wounding and wilful damage.
Her defence barrister, Mark Johnson, said Wilson regarded Mr Blair as a "tolerably decent person" when he was not using drugs, but had become "extremely protective" of her daughter under the circumstances.
"He was in and out and round about, doing this sort of thing all over the house, " Mr Johnson said.
"She just lost it, to put it crudely."
Senior Judge Gilbert Trafford Walker accepted the Crown's submission that Wilson had been subjected to "grossly offensive conduct ... which in a moral sense amounts to extreme provocation."
He sentenced her to nine months' jail but ordered that she be immediately released on parole.

Legal Alcohol for Kids !!!

Dutch students develop powdered alcohol
Wed Jun 6, 9:56 AM ET
Dutch students have developed powdered alcohol which they say can be sold legally to minors.
The latest innovation in inebriation, called Booz2Go, is available in 20-gramme packets that cost 1-1.5 euros (70 pence-1 pound).
Top it up with water and you have a bubbly, lime-coloured and -flavoured drink with just 3 percent alcohol content.
"We are aiming for the youth market. They are really more into it because you can compare it with Bacardi-mixed drinks," 20-year-old Harm van Elderen told Reuters.
Van Elderen and four classmates at Helicon Vocational Institute, about an hour's drive from Amsterdam, came up with the idea as part of their final-year project.
"Because the alcohol is not in liquid form, we can sell it to people below 16," said project member Martyn van Nierop.
The legal age for drinking alcohol and smoking is 16 in the Netherlands.
In Germany, alcopops -- sweet drinks containing alcohol and in powder form -- caused quite a stir when launched on to the market. Alcohol powder, classified as a flavouring, was sold in the United States three years ago.
The students said companies interested in making the product commercially could avoid taxes because the alcohol was in powder form. A number of companies are interested, they said.

Sword Swallowing Record !!!

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. - A man from Hartselle made history Friday when he became the first person in the United States to swallow a steel sword underwater in a tank as live sharks and stingrays swam by.

Dan "Capt. Cutless" Myers performed the stunt to promote Ripley's Aquarium in Myrtle Beach.


Meyer swallowed a 30-inch-long, solid-steel sword while submerged 15 feet underwater and surrounded by more than 80 sharks and stingrays.

Even on dry land, the feat is dangerous. Last year, Meyer said, he ended up in the hospital with a punctured stomach that caused pleurisy and fluid around his heart and lungs after he swallowed five swords at once.

"The worst injuries occur when trying to swallow a sword when the throat is tender and swollen," he said after the stunt Friday. "I was really worried because I've had a 'sword throat' with swelling that had me really concerned and almost made me call it off this morning."

Then when he got into the tank, he found it was "much more difficult to lean my head back and open my mouth 15 feet underwater and surrounded by 85,000 gallons of saltwater.

"When I opened my mouth to swallow the sword, the air rushed up out of my lungs. Not only did I have to focus on swallowing the sword correctly without impaling myself, but I had to contend with the sharks and stingrays not bumping into me while concentrating on not drowning."

But he said he succeeded even though he had eaten a meal a half-hour beforehand.
