WTF creature from Zimbabwe

It's the human-goat hybrid! Mysterious creature WAS part-man, part-goat say officials:

Experts are puzzled by the reports and photos published in African newspapers.

The creature, which died just a few hours after birth, had a huge head and a face that resembled a severely disfigured baby. The neck and shoulders were much like a a small human, but it had goat legs and a tail.

Residents of the village of Maboleni, where a goat gave birth to the creature, burnt the corspe in an attempt to rid the town of a curse.

But local Governor Jason Machaya (56) is sure, that it was a half-man, half-goat hybrid which was the result of bestiality: "A grown man was responsible for this."

Doctors, however say that it would be a biological impossibility.

Dwarves make their own village

They want to get away from regular-sized people. Chinese dwarves set up their own village:

A community of dwarves has set up its own village to escape discrimination from normal sized people.

Everyone in the mountain commune in Kunming, southern China, must be under 4ft 3ins tall - and they run their own police force and fire brigade from their 120 residents.

'As small people we are used to being pushed around and exploited by big people. But here there aren't any big people and everything we do is for us,' said spokesman Fu Tien.

UFO filmed in China

Chinese scientists 'filmed UFO for 40 minutes':

Scientists at the Purple Mountain Observatory in Nanjing are reported to have confirmed that they filmed a UFO during the eclipse for 40 minutes. They say that they will spend the next 12 months studying the footage before drawing any conclusions.

The incident follows a series of UFO sightings in China which culminated in an object being captured on film by students in Deqing. The footage, which was featured on Chinese television, appears to show the object repeatedly changing shape after initially appearing as a glowing blue sphere.

Gesundheit? Sneezing fetish lands man in jail:

Officers were called to Commerce Hardware and Feed on Monday regarding a customer that blew a white powdery substance in an employees face. The employee was checking the suspect out and when he handed his check to her, he blew the substance in her face. She turned away to process his check and when she turned back to him, he did it a second time, waited in the store for a few minutes then left.

Crews said Investigator Steve Scott was able to identify the suspect and subsequently interview him regarding this offense. The substance in the incident turned out to be white pepper.

“In my entire career I’ve never heard of anything like this,” Crews said. “I’ve checked with my detectives and they haven’t heard of anything like it either.”

“We found out he’s got a problem,” Crews said. “He becomes aroused by females sneezing.”

Mule vs. cougar

A couple living in Montana were outside with a mule and 2 dogs. He with a gun (he is a hunter), she with a camera. A cougar that was nearby decided that he would have a dog for dinner.

The hunter saw the animal so he wanted to shoot in the air to scare the beast but did not even have timeto do that - the cougar was already approaching a dog. Here is the incredible part of the story: the mule snatched the cougar up by the tail and started whirling him around banging its head on the ground repeatedly. Then the mule dropped it on the ground, stomped on it and held it by the throat. The mule got down on his knees and began to bite the creature a dozen times. The poor animal could not do anything...

The hunter did not even need to shoot and the woman was able to take these 4 exceptional pictures.

She taught her daughter how to be a dominatrix

And she went to jail. Prison ordered for two who offered girl for sadomasochistic sex:

They made her a dominatrix and schooled her in the ways of violent sex when she was only 12.

By the time she reached 14, they had billed her as “Mistress Alisha,” and they offered her online for two years to service the sadomasochistic fantasies of anyone willing to pay.

But on Thursday, it was the turn of the girl’s mother and the man she formerly lived with in Blue Springs to pay for the years of victimization they forced the girl to endure so they could make money.

The animal in the picture above - named Jingles by rescuers - managed to chew through the leather strapping on the chain and escape its captor.

Woman gets pregnant while pregnant

Sounds like something Xzibit would say, but apparently anything is possible these days. Arkansas Pregnant Woman Is Pregnant Again:

A pregnant woman in Arkansas surprised doctors twice over when she went in for a routine ultrasound this June.

Doctors successfully located Todd and Julia Grovenburg's growing baby girl Jillian, but then discovered another smaller baby -- what could be Jillian's younger brother -- growing beside her.

The Grovenburgs may have conceived their son Hudson a full two-and-a-half weeks after Jillian, according to statements given to KFSM-TV in Ft. Smith-Fayetteville, Ark.

Different from identical twins or fraternal twins, the Grovenburg babies would have separate due dates and are considered to be a rare medical occurrence.

I guess that kinda answers this question.

He said the rabbits lived under a pile of wood in the backyard and were around the same size as a household cat.

Experts say that the odds of finding an apple with such a perfect line between the green and the red are more than 1million to one.

Imagining an alternative history in which Dean is now a Hollywood elder statesman, it shows the Rebel Without a Cause star on his family ranch, racing his own-brand sports car and receiving a lifetime achievement Oscar. Dean is also seen as film director, humanitarian ambassador and anti-Vietnam war agitator. In the final scene he has a car accident, just as in 1955, but when the smoke clears, he has survived.

The ad, shot in Cape Town, ends with the line: "Given more time, imagine the possibilities." It is for the South African investment company Allan Gray.

Council chiefs have reversed a decision to rename the pudding Spotted Dick after receiving "abusive letters" and accusations of political correctness.

The council now says the pudding will revert to its traditional name.

But it has warned any customers who act in a "childish way" to behave themselves or be refused food.

Police taser and handcuff an emu

They got tired of doing that to people. Police tase, handcuff emu:

It was a pursuit of the animal variety Sunday morning as Scott County Law officers found themselves rounding up a loose emu on the interstate.

Since Friday motorists in Forest had been calling 9-1-1 reporting sightings of two emus on Interstate 20 and on Highway 80. Authorities were never able to find the animals.

Officer Kiley Culpepper says around noon Sunday more calls led Scott County deputies to the I-20 on-ramp. There the emu was dodging traffic. Culpepper and deputies were able to surround the animal but had to taser it to finally handcuff it and get it off the roadway.

It's being held at the Scott County Forest Coliseum while investigators try to determine who owns it and where it belongs.

Gay vulture story of the day

Here's a headline that caught my eye: 'Gay' vulture couple split up at Jerusalem zoo, then become fathers:

Dashik, father to one vulture chick, and Yehuda, father to the other, once engaged in a fiery romance that made headlines in local and international media. About ten years ago, the two male vultures fell in love, built a joint nest and became a couple. The staff of the Jerusalem Biblical Zoo provided the couple with an artificial egg, which the two parents took turns incubating; and 45 days later, the zoo replaced the egg with a real baby vulture. The two male vultures raised the chick together.

A few years later, however, the relationship broke up, after Yehuda fell for a female vulture that was brought into the aviary. Dashik became depressed, and was eventually moved to the zoological research garden at Tel Aviv University. There, Dashik too set up a nest with a female vulture.

According to witnesses, Looney was demonstrating how to use the different safety mechanisms on several guns to his girlfriend. The witnesses said Looney would put the guns to his head, and before pulling the trigger, would ask her if she thought the gun would go off. With the first two guns, the safety mechanisms worked.

Coyote problems

The Alberta Government and the Alberta Forest Service were presenting an alternative to Alberta ranchers for controlling the coyote population. It seems that after years of the ranchers using the tried and true methods of shooting and/or trapping the predators, the tree-huggers had a 'more humane' solution.

What they proposed was for the animals to be captured alive; the males would then be castrated and let loose again. Therefore the population would be controlled. This was ACTUALLY proposed to the Alberta Ranching Association and Farming Association by the Alberta Government and the Alberta Forest Service.

All of the ranchers thought about this amazing idea for a couple of minutes.

Finally, one of the old boys in the back of the conference room stood up, tipped his hat back and said, 'Son, I don't think you understand our problem. Those coyotes ain't fu_kin' our sheep...they're eatin' 'em!'

Woman leaves behind over 1,400 descendents

Woman dies at 99, leaves behind 1,400 descendents:

The commandment to "be fruitful and multiply" the Krishevsky family follows quite closely. Last Saturday, the great grandmother, Rachel Krishevsky passed away at the age of 99, leaving behind no less than 1,400 children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and even great-great-grandchildren.

Krishevsky got married to her cousin, Yitzhak, just before turning 19. The couple brought seven sons and four daughters into the world. In accordance with haredi custom, Krishevsky brought up her children to see children as a great joy. Her children subsequently adopted her outlook and produced 150 children of their own.

These 150 children continued the commitment to be fruitful and multiply and themselves had no less than 1,000 children. From here, the lineage continued even further, and Rachel Krishevsky was blessed with a few hundred great-great-grandchildren.

One of Jerusalemite Rachel Krishevsky's grandchildren says with pride, 'Grandma knew all of her descendents'

A placebo button is a push-button that appears to do something, but actually has no effect, like a placebo. In other cases a control like a thermostat may not be connected.

Many walk buttons at pedestrian crossings in New York City were once functional, but now serve as placebo buttons.

Some door-close buttons in elevators are placebo buttons, although some of them do in fact change the timing, and others are only functional when activated with a maintenance key.

Some office thermostats may also function similarly.
