Furzendes Schwein löst Gas-Alarm aus

Furzendes Schwein löst Gas-Alarm aus:15 Feuerwehrleute rücken extra dafür aus

Ein furzendes Schwein hat in Australien 15 Feuerwehrleute auf den Plan gerufen. Ein Bauer hatte sie alarmiert, weil er wegen des Gestanks eine undichte Gasleitung fürchtete. "Es war ziemlich eindeutig, was los war", sagte Feuerwehrmann Peter Harkins in einem Radiointerview. Die Familie aus Axedale habe eine 120 Kilo-Sau nur 20 Meter vom Haus entfernt gehalten. "Ich habe keine Ahnung, was sie der Sau zum Fressen gegeben hatten, aber wir haben sie deutlich gehört", sagte er.
Dem Bauer sei die Angelegenheit höchst peinlich gewesen. Er habe sich mehrfach entschuldigt. "Wir brauchten eine Weile, bis wir uns wieder eingekriegt haben, ehe wir mit ihm reden konnten" sagte Harkins. "Aber wir haben das sehr professionell gemacht. Wir haben ziemlich gekichert, als wir später wieder in der Feuerwehrwache waren."

Virtuelle Freundin - Küssen Sie Ihren Nintendo DS

Aus Japan kommt ein Nintendo-DS-Spiel, das gerne die virtuelle Freundin des Spielers sein will. Peinliche Szenen nicht ausgeschlossen.

In Japan sind sexuelle Phantasien beileibe kein Tabuthema. Deswegen sollte es keinen überraschen, dass Ende August Konami dort eine Dating-Simulation für die tragbare Konsole Nintendo DS veröffentlicht hat. Das Spielprinzip lässt sich recht einfach beschreiben: Man wählt eine Freundin aus einer fest vorgegebenen Auswahl und versucht sie im Laufe des Spieles so weit zu bezirzen, dass es etwas intimere Momente gibt.

Das Spiel geht dabei einen Schritt weiter als andere. So verlangt es auch Interaktionen mit der Konsole. In einem Interview auf einer Technologieseite gab vor kurzem ein verheirateter Mann aus Japan seine Erlebnisse mit der virtuellen Freundin Rinko zum Besten: »Ok, das ist ziemlich peinlich. Der DS hat ja ein Mikrophon und einen Touchscreen. Einmal forderte sie mich auf, hundert Mal 'Ich liebe dich' ins Mikrophon zu sagen. Ich saß gerade im Flugzeug, deswegen habe ich es dann doch nicht getan. Dann gibt es diesen anderen Teil, wo man ihre Hand auf dem Touchscreen halten soll. Wenn man ihre Hand mit dem Stylus antippt, hält man ihre Hand. Darüber hinaus gibt es noch eine Stelle, wo man sie küssen soll..«

Sciene fiction wird quasi Wirklichkeit: 1997 beschrieb der Science-fiction-Autor William Gibson in seinem Buch Idoru noch die theoretische Möglichkeit einer Beziehung zwischen einem Menschen und einer künstlichen Intelligenz. 2009 sollen angeblich japanische Männer ihren DS abends neben ihr Bett legen.

Stupid warning

What do you think about these signs?!

Schlechtes Gewissen

Nach fünf Jahrzehnten hat ein Amerikaner pflichtbewusst zwei ausgeliehene Schulbücher zurückgegeben - zusammen mit einem grosszügigen Scheck für die angefallenen Strafgebühren.

Der frühere Schüler wolle anonym bleiben, teilte die Bibliothek der Camelback High School in Arizona mit. Er hatte die 1959 ausgeliehenen Werke nach eigenen Angaben versehentlich eingepackt, als seine Familie in einen anderen US-Staat zog. Der beigefügte Scheck über 1000 Dollar soll demnach die Kosten von zwei Cents pro Buch für jeden überfälligen Tag decken.

Die Strafgebühr beläuft sich nach dieser Berechnung auf insgesamt rund 745 Dollar. Er habe aufgerundet, falls sich die Gebühren inzwischen verändert hätten, schrieb der reumütige Mann. Die zurückgegeben Bücher kommen nach Angaben von Bibliothekarin Georgette Bordine wieder ins Regal.

Facebook’s ‘Sperminator’ gets girls pregnant in few clicks!

A British man has been tagged “The Sperminator” for getting twelve girls pregnant after wooing them on social networking site Facebook.

Five women are now raising his kids, five were talked into abortions and two are expecting.

For years, love rat Dominic Baronet - from Telford, Shropshire, secretly preyed on women with his smooth Internet patter.

Apart from this, the laptop lust hunter boasts a seedy history - a convicted drug dealer sentenced to four years for supplying cocaine and ecstasy.

Now, after discovering the truth, one of his most recent conquests Kerry Martin, 24, said: “Dominic should have a danger warning slapped on his Facbook page and be given a compulsory vasectomy to protect other girls.”

Kerry found out about Baronet’s cheating ways by keeping tabs on his page after he ditched her.

In no time, she spotted a congratulations message revealing he’d also got 24-year-old Stacy Jones pregnant around the same time.

When the girls started talking, they realised he’d impregnated them both on the same night.

“Dominic should be banned from Facebook. He uses it to juggle scores of girls. Some people treat it like a dating agency, he uses it as a cheating agency,” News of the World quoted Stacy as saying.

“We call him the Sperminator because he just goes around getting girls pregnant and doesn’t ever think about the consequences. He’s a good-looking fella and has more romantic lines than Barbara bloody Cartland. He could charm the birds out of the trees,” she added.

Eitler Dieb schickt besseres Fahndungsfoto

Ein wegen Einbruchs gesuchter Mann hat der Polizei skurrile Fahndungshilfe geleistet. Weil ihm sein eigenes Fahndungsfoto nicht gefiel, schickte der Gesuchte ein vorteilhafteres Bild von sich an die Lokalzeitung. Die Ermittler haben ihren Spaß.

Auf seiner Website zeigt die Lokalzeitung das Foto, das Maynard selbst eingeschickt hat© southwales.co.uk

Ein eitler Ganove hat einer britischen Zeitung ein neues Fahndungsfoto von sich geschickt. Für die Aufnahme posierte Matthew Maynard, der wegen Einbruchs von Ermittlern in Wales gesucht wird, ausgerechnet vor einem Polizeiauto. Der 23-Jährige schickte das Bild an die Lokalzeitung , die zuvor ein unvorteilhaftes Porträtfoto des Mannes gedruckt hatte.

Die Polizei hatte das alte Bild örtlichen Medien gegeben, um von der Öffentlichkeit Hinweise zu bekommen. Das neue Foto wurde von der Zeitung prompt auf der ersten Seite gedruckt. Die Polizei freute sich über die unverhoffte Fahndungshilfe. "Er hält sich für sehr schlau, sich so aufzuspielen - aber wir werden ihn bald haben. Was für ein Idiot", zitierte die "Daily Mail" am Samstag einen Ermittler.

Artifical snowstorm cripples Beijing

Chinese scientists of the government agency for weather control wanted to end an enduring drought and created an artificial storm that was supposed to bring some rain to the region.

As you can see on this picture the scientists seem to have made a little calculation mistake and instead of rain they got 16 million tons of snow which crippled the infrastructure in Beijing ... traffic jams, flights canceled and even the power blackouts in several regions!

What do you think? Should agencies like the Chinese office for weather control really change the weather patterns like this or let mother nature regulate herself?

Couple survives car crash in their house

A college couple in Nevada miraculously survived with minor injuries when a drunk driver drove a car right through the wall of their house and onto their bed last week. They lay pinned to their mattress for about an hour until emergency workers showed up with chainsaws and released them. The accused, Eric Cross, had mistaken their house for one belonging to his ex-girlfriend and her new mate.

Dusty painting worth many times $900 asking price

A London ophthalmologist liked what he saw in a Lexington antique shop and paid $900 for a landscape painting. Dr. Jim Huffman took two weeks to decide and finally paid a little at a time to buy to 30-by-40 inch painting on layaway.

He told the Lexington Herald-Leader it was so dirty that he took it to a Cincinnati restoration expert for cleaning. Huffman said when the artist's name was uncovered, it was Robert Scott Duncanson, a noted 19th-century African-American painter.

The restoration expert appraised the work at $100,000. Antique shop owner Dennis Pigg said he bought the painting at a northern Kentucky estate sale a few months earlier.

Loch Ness Monster - protected animal

Please imagine: In England the Loch Ness Monster is a protected animal by law.

Source: paranormal.about.com

Animal rights, also referred to as animal liberation, is the idea that the most basic interests of animals should be afforded the same consideration as the similar interests of humans. Advocates approach the issue from different philosophical positions but agree that animals should be viewed as legal persons and members of the moral community, not property, and that they should not be used as food, clothing, research subjects, or entertainment.

Bunnies keep Swedes warm

Green energy is a key factor in the worlds efforts to accomplish the defeat of global warming. The car industry is counting on hybrid technology and invests more and more in electro cars. The energy industry sees its future not in oil

but in gas and solar power. Sweden and more in detail Stockholm apparently got some other plans...

According to the swedish "The Local" the city of Stockholm is turning to another alternative engergy source: RABBITS.

If you should be thinking of cute little bunnies, running in a wheel trying to catch a delicious

carrot, then you are kind of wrong. In fact, instead of using rabbits to power the city with green "moving" energy Stockholm decided to do the right and ... easiest thing: to burn them...

In fact, Stockholm's parks are suffering from a huge rabbit problem. To protect the trees and shrubbery in the city they need to battle those little bastards. And instead of throwing those little bodies away they had a more innovative way of doing so...

Good idea or bad idea ... efficient or horrible ... in any case ... I WONT TELL MY LITTLE COUSINS!!

Disney-Robot can sense if you're happy

Disney unveiled it's first-ever robot that can hear, see and sense whether or not you’re in the room. Yes, “Otto” (picture to the left) is interactive. The robot can sense if you’re happy, hold conversations and react, according to Imagineer Scott Trowbridge.

Otto is based on the new Autonomatronics technology which is different from Audio-Animatronics technology. Audio-Animatronics technology repeats a pre-programmed show over and over again. Autonomatronics technology is driven by sophisticated cameras and sensors giving Otto the ability to make choices about what to say and do.

Swedish town full of sex-mad lesbians

Tourism staff are being swamped with queries from Chinese men over a myth about a Swedish town populated only by 25,000 sex-mad lesbians.

The mysterious 'Chako Paul City' in Sweden was said to have been founded by a wealthy, man-hating widow in 1820.

A pair of blonde female sentries are said to stand guard at the town and men wishing to enter risk being "beaten half to death" by police.

News reports of the city have crippled China's internet providers as millions of goggle-eyed men read up on the town's rampant women and try to find out how to get there.

Gaza zoo's zebra really a painted donkey

A POVERTY-stricken zoo in Gaza is in such a dire state that it has resorted to painting stripes on a donkey so it could have its own "zebra".

The Marah zoo, not far from the Bureij refugee camp and littered with broken-down animal toys, was showing off the bizarre creature claiming it was one of the exotic African beasts.

"It's really a painted donkey," admitted the zoo's director Mahmud Berghat when asked about the creature.
After explaining that the zoo used hair dye on the unsuspecting donkey, Mr Berghat said: "We cut its hair short and then painted the stripes."

Despite the confused four-legged beast hardly being able to fool zoologists, the "zebra" has been a hit with the thousands of Gaza-bound school children who have never seen such an exotic animal.

"But don't tell anyone," Mr Berghat said. "The children love him."

Nasa scientists "bomb" moon in search for water!

The plan is to slam two unmanned spacecraft into a dark crater at the lunar south pole, kicking up a six-mile high dust cloud that may contain water.

British researchers helped Nasa pick the spot for the drama, which will be broadcast live on the American space agency's website.

It is believed water ice could lie at the bottom of dark craters at the Moon's poles, where temperatures are lower than minus 170C.

The crashing spacecraft consist of an orbiter, LCROSS (Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite), which is now mapping the lunar surface, and its 2.2 tonne empty Centaur launch rocket.

Both are currently on collision course with the Moon and still attached together.

In the early hours, British time, the probe and rocket will separate. Then at 12.31pm the larger rocket will smash into the crater at 5,600 mph, blasting out 350 tonnes of debris in a 6.2 mile high plume.

Following close behind, the LCROSS satellite beaming live pictures back to Earth will fly through the material and four minutes later plunge into the crater itself. LCROSS will trigger its own dust cloud a third of the size of the first one.

As the debris is propelled into sunlight, scientists on Earth will study its composition with ground-based telescopes.

To follow the current development take a look at the NASA Blog of LCROSS Flight Director Paul Tompkins on http://blogs.nasa.gov/cm/blog/lcrossfdblog.blog/posts/post_1254984713637.html
