High flying priest must have God on his side

Wacky people those Brazilians, especially when it comes to religious stunts.

Seems Roman Catholic priest Reverend Adelir Antonio de Carli attached himself to a tall column of helium filled balloons and in a special floating chair headed off into the sky.

He was also wearing wearing a helmet, thermal suit and a parachute, in case things went wrong, which naturally, with such a fund raising stunt, they would, and did.

Dr. Phil Show bails MySpace Teen Beating Suspect

Gas hits 35 CENTS per gallon - motorists outraged

What do people do when gas hits 35 cents per gallon? Why fill up every vehicle they own of course.

This was the situation in New Hanover County when a typographical error in adjusting the price of gas at the pump saw premium gas selling for $3.00 gallon less than it should have.

Attendants at the gas station were upset that no-one told them that the price was wrong ands they were selling discount gas, but you would think that after 10 hours of selling tank-fulls of gas at around $9 a time they would have guessed that something was not right.

Using hedgehog with deadly intent

Throwing a hedgehog at a teenager has landed a New Zealand man a date in court, a newspaper report says.

It seems William Singalargh liked Russell Crowe’s (also a Kiwi by birth) antics with using a phone to assault someone, but decided to one one step further.

So he picked up the animal and threw it about five metres at a 15-year-old in the eastern North Island town of Whakatane in February, the Herald on Sunday reported.

Nude self portriat fails to impress

An outstanding ‘discreet’ nude self portrait by a talented emerging artist has been snubbed by the prize giver, despite being awarded first prize by the judges.

Nancy “Beth” Reid, a 17-year-old senior at Churchland High School in Portsmouth, won for her nude self-portrait, which art experts described as discreet.

But the puritanical publisher of The Virginian-Pilot newspaper, Bruce Bradley, on Friday took responsibility for the decision saying he did not think it was appropriate to give the award for a picture of a nubile young woman who posed in such an unprovocative manner that he could hardly control himself.

Firefighters get fined for speeding, running red lights

Seems all is not well in the NSW (Aust) firefighting world where drivers of fire trucks are getting traffic fines  for running red lights and speeding on their way to emergencies.

While the union is taking a typically hard line approach to what can be simply resolved through a suggested change to the administrative procedure, it seems the public might be the ones to really feel the effects.

The Union is suggesting that all road rules will be followed, including stopping at red lights till they change to green.

I love you Bob - I love you Jim

Seems friendship can overcome many things even a tiff that gets a little bloody as the Never underestimate the appeal of a toasted English muffin after a night of heavy boozing.

The Island Packet News (what a name for a paper!) reports an argument between friends over who ate the last English muffin ended with head wounds, according to a Beaufort County sheriff’s report.

Around 11:30 p.m. Monday, one of the roommates, a 23-year-old man, ventured into the kitchen for a snack, preferably one with delicious nooks and crannies. He discovered the muffins were gone. Fisticuffs followed.
