Nudist war on the German-Polish border

On the one side white bottoms burn in the sun. On the other side conservative swimming trunk-wearers turn up their noses at the naked beachgoers.

Now a heated argument has broken out between the exhibitionist Germans and the prudish Poles.

For the last fifty years sun-loving Germans have been preserving their naturist traditions from Ahlbeck (Mecklenburg-Vorpommern) to Swinemünde.

But following the Schengen agreement in December 2007 the fence separating the German and Polish parts of the beach was removed.

Now German nudists are battling the Poles for their freedom to prance around naked in the sun.

Anja, from Poland, who clearly thinks the German nudists are real swines, said: "It's horrible. We would never bathe naked - we are Catholic." More

Police free 26 cheerleaders from elevator

Police and firefighters were called to the University of Texas' Jester Hall to free 26 cheerleaders who had crammed themselves into an elevator.

A group of 14- to 17-year-olds attending Texas Cheer Camp in Austin decided to see how many girls they could squeeze into the elevator around 6 p.m. Tuesday, campus police said. The elevator successfully descended from the fourth floor to the first, but the doors refused to open.

The panicked girls managed to wiggle a few cell phones free to call for help. But it took about 25 minutes before a repairman was able to fix the door, police said. More

Bush Gets Some Ass at the Olympics

Nude blonde, gold stilettos and a Ferrari

A mysterious blonde paid a visit to a petrol station shop in the small eastern German town of Doemitz on Sunday -wearing nothing but a pair of golden stilettos and a thin gold bracelet.

The tall, slender woman strolled into the shop in the town of Doemitz on the warm afternoon and bought cigarettes.

"I wasn't surprised because she's come in naked before -- she's a very nice woman," Swoboda said, adding none of the other customers were bothered. The woman could have faced charges of creating a public disturbance if anyone had complained.

A quick-witted customer did, however, snap pictures of the woman believed to be about 30 years old as she walked back to a waiting Ferrari and climbed into the passenger seat. Several of those photos appeared in the German media on Monday. More

93 Year Old Man Arrested in Prostitution Sting

After the honk got her attention, the woman on the corner sauntered up to the 93-year-old man, opened his car door and asked him what he was looking for.

"I'm looking for you," Frank J. Milio said that afternoon in a parking lot off bustling 14th Street West, where police routinely set up prostitution stings.

The woman, an undercover sheriff's detective posing as a prostitute, asked Milio if he wanted sex and how much money he had. Milio said he wanted to play with the woman and asked her to perform a sexual act on him.

As the woman walked away, sheriff's deputies in black masks pulled up and arrested Milio, who was jailed for 12 hours on a solicitation for prostitution charge. The arrest generated national attention, with late-night TV comedians weighing in at the expense of an old man accused of wanting sex. More

Outsourcing Wombs in India

The midday sun is ferociously hot outside the Akanksha Infertility Clinic, a scuffed concrete building in the small Indian city of Anand. Crammed into a single patch of shade by the gate, a stray cow and a family of beggars — caked so uniformly in dung-colored dust they resemble clay models — wait out the noontime heat.

Inside, the lobby is jammed with barefoot female patients in circus-bright saris. Nurses in white Indian tunics scuttle among them, hollering out names and brandishing medical files. The air smells faintly of sweat and damp cement. On the walls, blurry photos of babies and newspaper clippings celebrate the clinic's raison d'être: "The Cradle of the World" declares one headline.

Prisoners riot for more sex

The unusual demand was among a long list of gripes which sparked a violent protest yesterday in the Esperanza prison, just outside the capital, Asuncion.

Prisoners seized the director of the prison and several other administration staff as they took over the facility.

They demanded more time to have sex with their wives and girlfriends and an end to mistreatment by prison guards.

Many Paraguayan prisons allow conjugal visits during the day. The rule also applies at Esperanza but clashes with the prisoners' working hours, during which they run small businesses such as clothing factories. More

Call Girls at Nursing Home Fuel Debate in Denmark

When a male resident at Kildegaarden nursing home in Denmark made an indecent sexual proposal to a member of the staff, the home's director, Inger Marie Kristensen, told a nurse to telephone for a prostitute.

``There was a considerable change in his demeanor after the escort girl had paid him a visit,'' Kristensen said in an interview. ``We do this for our clients just as we offer them other services that they need as human beings.''

Kildegaarden, located 100 miles (160 kilometers) west of Copenhagen in Skanderborg, has about 100 residents, including victims of Alzheimer's disease and strokes. Nurses arranged visits by call girls three times in the past three years.

While Welfare Minister Karen Jespersen says Denmark's 98 municipalities are free to let nurses call prostitutes, some lawmakers are stepping up efforts to pull women out of the profession, which has been legal in the country since 1999. More

Naked surprise after teacher sacked for saucy shoot

Australia - A primary school teacher sacked for appearing nude in a women's magazine has launched legal action against the Department of Education as parents from the school organise a petition to have her reinstated.

Lynne Tziolas, 24, was called into her principal's office last Friday and told her year-long contract at Narraweena Primary School would be terminated.

"I was told … my actions had breached the code of conduct," said Mrs Tziolas, who appeared with her husband, Antonios, in a Cleo article about sexual habits.

The article, headlined "Buck naked, where couples talk about their sex lives", included a picture of each couple in a naked embrace.

During last Friday's meeting with the principal, Julie Organ, and the local schools director, Maurice Brennan, Mrs Tziolas was issued with a letter."I refer to an article in the magazine Cleo in which your photograph appears accompanied by an article about your personal life," the letter said.

Texas Man arrested for trying to cash $360 billion check

FORT WORTH, Texas—Charles Ray Fuller must have been planning one big record company. The 21-year-old North Texas man was arrested last week for trying to cash a $360 billion check, saying he wanted to start a record business. Tellers at the Fort Worth bank were immediately suspicious -- perhaps the 10 zeros on a personal check tipped them off. more stories like this

Fuller, of suburban Crowley, was arrested on a forgery charge. He was released after posting $3,750 bail.

Fuller said his girlfriend's mother gave him the check to start a record business. But bank employees who contacted the account's owner said the woman told them she did not give him permission to take or cash the check.

In addition to the forgery count, Fuller was charged with unlawfully carrying a weapon and possessing marijuana. Officers reported finding less than two ounces of marijuana and a .25-caliber handgun and magazine in his pockets. More

Hudson drumline teacher admits to sex with girl, 14

A 24-year-old Lufkin man arrested Tuesday for having a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old student had recently taught drumline for the Hudson High School band, said law enforcement and Hudson ISD Superintendent Mary Ann Whiteker Thursday.

Sheriff's deputies booked Clark Lewing into the Angelina County Jail Tuesday morning on a charge of sexual assault with a child — a second-degree felony. He made bail, set at $65,000, the same day, according to jail records.

The girl is not a Hudson High School student, Whiteker said. Angelina County Sheriff's Office investigator Charles Lawrence said the girl took private lessons from Lewing.

When questioned by investigators, Lewing said he had known the girl approximately a year before the two had sex, and he knew how old she was, an arrest affidavit stated. The girl told investigators she wanted to have sex with Lewing and did not want to file charges, the report stated. More

Penis theft panic hits city

KINSHASA - Police in Congo have arrested 13 suspected sorcerers accused of using black magic to steal or shrink men's penises after a wave of panic and attempted lynchings triggered by the alleged witchcraft.

Reports of so-called penis snatching are not uncommon in West Africa, where belief in traditional religions and witchcraft remains widespread, and where ritual killings to obtain blood or body parts still occur.

Rumors of penis theft began circulating last week in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo's sprawling capital of some 8 million inhabitants. They quickly dominated radio call-in shows, with listeners advised to beware of fellow passengers in communal taxis wearing gold rings.

Purported victims, 14 of whom were also detained by police, claimed that sorcerers simply touched them to make their genitals shrink or disappear, in what some residents said was an attempt to extort cash with the promise of a cure. More

Teacher accused of tampering to hide alleged affair

GOLDEN, CO — A Jefferson County grand jury has indicted a former Jefferson County teacher and coach on a charge of tampering/destruction of physical evidence.

Nicole Marie Sirbu, 29, was a teacher at Stony Creek Elementary School and a coach for the combined Columbine and Chatfield high school pole-vaulting team from Sept. 1, 2006, until Oct. 1, 2007.

On Sept. 26, 2007, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office began investigating an allegation that Sirbu had "inappropriate sexual contact" with a 17-year-old Columbine student who was on the pole-vaulting team.

Sirbu had exchanged numerous e-mails with the student using her work e-mail address and her work laptop, investigators said. More

Masturbation May Prevent Prostate Cancer

Frequent masturbation may help men cut their risk of contracting prostate cancer, according to Australian researchers. It is believed that carcinogens may build up in the prostate if men do not ejaculate regularly, BBC News reported in 2003. The researchers surveyed more than 1,000 men who had developed prostate cancer, and 1,250 men who had not. They found that men who had ejaculated the most between the ages of 20 and 50 were the least likely to get cancer. Men who ejaculated more than five times each week were a third less likely to develop prostate cancer.

Sexual intercourse may not have the same effect because of the higher risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease, which could in turn raise the risk of cancer.

"Had we been able to remove ejaculations associated with sexual intercourse, there should have been an even stronger protective effect of ejaculations," Graham Giles of the Cancer Council Victoria, who led the researchers, said in the article. More

'Squirrelman' to leave his tree for an RV

SEATTLE, WA -- Facing imminent eviction from his Eastlake treehouse, David "Squirrelman" Csaky got a little good news Tuesday -- then he got a little more.

Seattle city officials, facing growing public criticism, granted the 52-year-old homeless man a 10-day reprieve, replacing an earlier notice that would have forced him to leave his hand-cobbled treehouse Wednesday.

Then a group of Csaky's Eastlake neighbors made a deal to get him a deeply discounted RV to stay in.

"I'm overwhelmed," Csaky, 52, said of the response and the new shelter. "I started crying when they told me."

The new eviction notice -- which had a typo mistakenly giving Csaky until July to move out -- allows Csaky until April 18 to leave the vacant lot where over two years he built an elaborate, 300-square-foot platform about 30 feet above the ground. More

3 Female Teachers Charged With Having Sex With Students

TAMPA, Fla. -- In the past two weeks, three female teachers have been arrested in the Tampa, Fla., area, accused of having sex with male students.

First came the arrest of a middle school math teacher, Stephanie Ragusa, 28. She was charged with having sex with a 14-year-old, authorities said. Investigators monitored phone calls between teacher and student in which Ragusa allegedly acknowledged having sex with the boy.

Last Thursday, high school honors English teacher Mary Jo Spack, 45, also was arrested. She is accused of meeting a 17- and an 18-year-old student at a liquor store and leading them to a motel room, where more students allegedly joined the party. Spack was reportedly overheard having sex with one teen in the shower, police said.

"I just can't believe it's happening," said one unidentified Tampa-area parent. "I don't know what to think, or what's going through their heads."

And on Monday night, substitute teacher Lisa Marinelli, 40, a married mother of two, was arrested by sheriff's deputies and charged with unlawful sex with a minor. The 17-year-old victim told detectives he had sex with Marinelli 10 times. Authorities said they believe the boy.. More

Australian man fathers a baby with daughter

CANBERRA, Australia - An Australian man and his adult daughter went public about their relationship after having a baby together, as new revelations emerged on Monday that a previous child of the couple died a few days after birth.

John Deaves, 61, and his daughter Jenny, 39, have a 9-month-old daughter but have been banned from having sex after a court convicted the pair on two counts of incest, placing them both on a three-year good behavior bond.

"The couple are being monitored by the relevant authorities," a South Australia state police spokesman told Reuters on Monday. More

Polygamist compound raided

Houston, TX- State troopers sealed off a polygamist compound in a remote stretch of Texas on Friday, and child welfare officials removed 52 girls after a complaint that a 16-year-old had been physically and sexually abused, authorities said.

The investigation at the YFZ Ranch - a walled-off complex just outside the town of Eldorado that is anchored by a towering white temple - came as welcome news to local officials, who had complained for years about the religious sect hunkered there.

"We know they're violating the law, but someone has to raise their hand and testify, and until that happens we don't have anything," said James C. Doyle, a local justice of the peace who has flown frequently over the compound in his private plane. "Those young girls are so brainwashed, it's hard to know what they'll say." More

Study: Spanking Can Bring Problems Later

DURHAM, N.H. — New research by a University of New Hampshire domestic abuse expert says spanking children affects their sex lives as adults. Professor Murray Straus concludes that children who are spanked are more likely as adults to coerce partners to have sex, to have unprotected sex and to have masochistic sex.

Other studies have shown the link between spanking and physical violence, but Straus said his research is the first to show a link between corporal punishment and sexual behavior.

Straus, co-director of UNH's Family Research Laboratory, conducted a study in the mid-1990s in which he asked 207 students at three colleges whether they'd ever been aroused by masochistic sex. He also asked them if they'd been spanked as children. He found that students who were spanked were nearly twice as likely to like masochistic sex. More

Official Opposes Pamela Rogers' Parole

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A parole official is opposing release for a former teacher with six years left on her prison sentence for having sex with a 13-year-old male student in Warren County.

Convicted sex offender Pamela Rogers got her first shot at parole at a hearing on Wednesday. She has been an inmate at a Nashville women’s prison since 2006.

Rogers, 30, is serving a 10-year sentence for having sex with a 13-year-old boy while she was a teacher at Centertown Elementary School in Warren County.

Rogers was first arrested in February 2005 and pleaded no contest to charges of having sexual intercourse and oral sex with the student. She served six months in jail and got a lengthy probation on those charges under the condition that she not contact the student or his family or use the Internet. However, she soon she sent the boy what the judge described as "lewd" videos and pictures of herself nude and engaged in sex and text messages. More

Middle school muffles intentional flatulence

CAMDEN, ME - The Merriam Webster Dictionary definition for flatulence is brief: "flatus expelled through the anus." And while it's a natural bodily function, it seems some Camden-Rockport Middle School eighth-grade boys are taking it to new heights and allegedly making a game of seeing who can expel the loudest and grossest flatus.

According to this week's "Fire Cracker" newsletter though, an informal eighth-grade publication, the joke's on the boys as the penalty for "intentional farting" is now a detention.

"Strange, but true, thanks to a bunch of 8th grade boys, intentional farting has been banned from CRMS," the newsletter said. "It started out as a funny joke and eventually turned into a game. This is the first rule at CRMS that prevents the use of natural bodily functions. The penalty for intentional farting is a detention, so keep it to yourself!" More

The case of a former Moon Area teacher who is charged with having sex with a 14-year-old student is headed to Allegheny County Common Pleas Court.

Beth Ann Chester, 26, yesterday waived her right to a preliminary hearing before District Judge Mary P. Murray in Coraopolis.

At the hearing, prosecutors withdrew three counts of sexual abuse of children, but added five other charges, including one count each of statutory sexual assault, indecent deviate sexual intercourse and indecent assault and two counts of aggravated indecent assault.

Mrs. Chester, who was a ninth-grade health and physical education teacher, sent the boy nude photos of herself and lurid text messages about his body, according to police. Police said she later confessed to having a sexual encounter with the boy." More

NYPD Officer Told Teen Sex Was Part Of Obedience Oath

MIDDLETOWN—A New York City cop who allegedly sexually abused two teenage girls, telling them it was part of their initiation as students of his martial arts school, has been charged with second and third degree rape.

Trent Young, 39, of Middletown, with NYPD for nine years, was arrested at his Middletown home where police say some of the abuse occurred in addition to his karate school, the Iron Tiger Martial Arts Center in West Milford, NJ.

According to police, when one of his 80 students, a 14-year-old girl, reached the green-belt level of training at the martial arts school in December 2006, Young allegedly told her that she had to remove her clothing in order to keep with the oath to her dojo. Police said that Young then molested the girl.

It’s alleged that between December 2006, he engaged in a sexual relationship with the girl, having sex with her between 20 and 40 times until October when police began investigating. During the course of that investigation, police learned that Young had allegedly tried the same thing with a second teenager but the girl had refused to undress for Young. More

'Weekend at Bernie's' Check Scam Foiled

NEW YORK - There are few crimes that manage to surprise police, but this is one of them. Like something out of a bad movie, two men are accused of pretending their dead friend was alive in order to get his money.

To many, $355 may not seem like much, but to two 65-year-old friends it was enough motivation to put their dead friend in a chair and wheel him down to the Pay-O-Matic in Hell's Kitchen to cash his social security check.

Regardless of the two reitrement-age friend's inspiration for doing what they are accused of, witnesses say they could have used some Hollywood help in the makeup department.

"He was sitting in the chair with his head in the back of the chair," witness Victor Rodriguez said. "From where I was looking he appeared to be dead." More

Florida teacher charged with having sex with student

An Osceola County teacher was arrested on sex charges Friday after deputies said she had sexual relations with an underage former student.

Deputies began investigating Narcoossee Community School Sarah Elizabeth Joel, 31, Friday morning, after a Harmony High School teacher told deputies that one of her students was suspected of having sex with his former teacher, according to a sheriff's charging affidavit.

During a tape-recorded interview, the student told an investigator that he and Joel stayed in touch after last school year and he became a friend of her family, the report states. When he called Joel to talk about his problems, Joel would pick him up and take him to her home.

"One thing led to another," the teen told investigators. He said the encounters took place at Joel's St. Cloud home during September, when he was 15. More

Man Puts Out Fire With Aunt's XL Undies

From baggy briefs to the ultimate hotpants: A British woman's underwear saved the day by doubling as an emergency fire blanket when her kitchen caught fire. John Marsey and his cousin Darren Lines were frying bread in Jenny Marsey's kitchen in Hartlepool, northeast England when their meal caught fire.

Lines grabbed the nearest thing from a pile of laundry to put it out: his aunt's billowing, powder blue, size XL underpants.

He ran them under the faucet and tossed them onto the flames, successfully smothering the fire, a spokesman for the Cleveland Fire Brigade said, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with department policy. More

Surgeon photographs patient's tattooed genitals

PHOENIX, AZ - A surgeon faces a disciplinary hearing for snapping a photo of a patient's tattooed genitals during an operation and showing it around to other doctors.

Mayo Clinic Hospital administrators said Dr. Adam Hansen, chief resident of general surgery, admitted taking the photo with his cell phone on Dec. 11. The tattoo was on strip club owner Sean Dubowik's penis, which reads: "Hot Rod."

Dubowik, who had undergone a gallbladder operation, said he learned of the photo Monday when the Mayo Clinic called.

"I got a strange call after my surgery from a doctor who said there was a problem. He said Hansen was on the phone and would explain," he said.

Dubowik said Hansen told him he took the picture while inserting a catheter into his penis. More

Man using GPS drives into path of train

BEDFORD HILLS, N.Y. - A Global Positioning System can tell a driver a lot of things — but apparently not when a train is coming.

A computer consultant driving a rental car drove onto train tracks Wednesday using the instructions his GPS unit gave him. A train was barreling toward him, but he escaped in time and no one was injured.

The driver had turned right, as the system advised, and the car somehow got stuck on the tracks at the crossing. He jumped out and tried to warn the engineer by waving. He got out of the way just before the train slammed into the car at 60 mph, Metro-North railroad spokesman Dan Brucker said. More

Shots Fired After Man Passes Gas

SOUTHPORT, NY - Flatulence is blamed for a Sunday night shooting at a Southport business.

William Hoover, 32, pulled out a semi-automatic rifle at Wheeler's Beverage Barn and shot at three people who teased him about passing gas, a Chemung County sheriff's investigator said.

The incident began inside the store after 6 p.m., where Hoover got into an argument with the three people who teased him about his flatulence, deputies said.

When the argument moved outside and turned physical, Hoover ran to his car, pulled out a semi-automatic rifle, and shot at the three people, deputies said. More

Caged Twins, Now 9, Count Blessings

PHOENIX, AZ - Two twin boys who were found four years ago in improvised, cockroach-infested cages at their Phoenix home have managed to turn their lives around in a miraculous way.

The 9-year-olds and their older brother spent Thanksgiving counting their blessings.

The twins, Edgardo and Edmundo, and their older brother Luis emerged from a dark nightmare to a happy fairytale, thanks to the kindness of one special couple.

The student, who remains unnamed but is currently 23 years old, said her youth, innocence and spirit were tainted by Rossi, in a statement she read in open court. After putting her trust in Rossi, the victim said she was left with deception and abandonment.

"Just how do I recover from that?" the victim said. More

Plane Diverted To PDX Over Mile-High Club

PORTLAND, Ore. -- A plane headed for Las Vegas from Seattle was diverted to Portland after at least one passenger said a couple tried to join the “mile high club.”

US Airways Flight 1473 left Seattle at 2:58 p.m., but a pair of unruly passengers caused it to be diverted and head for Portland International Airport.

The flight landed in Portland at 5 p.m. and a spokeswoman for US Airways said two people were escorted off the plane after a dispute with flight attendants.

“The people across the aisle from us were fooling around in their seats and they decided to go to the bathroom and fool around and they threatened the flight attendant,” said a passenger. More

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM, India - An anganwadi teacher was suspended in Kerala’s Thrissur district for forcing a three-year-old girl to drink urine.

The shocking incident came to light after the girl’s parents complained to the child development project officer, who is in charge of the government-funded anganwadis.

Older white women join Kenya's sex tourists

MOMBASA, Kenya - Bethan, 56, lives in southern England on the same street as best friend Allie, 64.

They are on their first holiday to Kenya, a country they say is "just full of big young boys who like us older girls".

Hard figures are difficult to come by, but local people on the coast estimate that as many as one in five single women visiting from rich countries are in search of sex.

Allie and Bethan -- who both declined to give their full names -- said they planned to spend a whole month touring Kenya's palm-fringed beaches.

The white beaches of the Indian Ocean coast stretched before the friends as they both walked arm-in-arm with young African men, Allie resting her white haired-head on the shoulder of her companion, a six-foot-four 23-year-old from the Maasai tribe. More

Drunk girls proving a Facebook hit

There's nothing like a bit of class, elegance and self-control in a lady - and this showcase of shame shows nothing like any of those attributes.

They may be meant to be the fairer sex, but you might struggle to understand why, with just the briefest of glimpses at an online gallery of women more than just a shade worse for wear.

A Facebook group called '30 Reasons Girls Should Call It A Night' has received a flood of drunken contributions - but also fuelled worried warnings from health advisers.

You might think that those captured in all their sozzled 'glory' might be keen to draw a discreet veil over their embarrassment. But instead, many women are volunteering photographic evidence of just how wasted their evenings have ended. More

"Hooters Mom" Charged In Toddler Heat Death

PHOENIX - A woman whose 17-month-old son died in her hot, stuffy car while she worked a seven-hour shift as a Hooters waitress told friends and family she was unhappy about being a mother, police said Wednesday.

People close to Ashly Duchene, 22, told investigators that the mother made statements over the past few weeks that she thought parental responsibilities encroached on her freedom.

"Caring for a child was not a top priority. It may or may not have played a role (in her son's death)," police Sgt. Joel Tranter said.

Duchene was booked into Maricopa County jail on a felony count of negligent homicide. But authorities do not believe Duchene intentionally left the boy in the car. More

Surge in naked sleepwalking in British hotels

A surge in naked sleepwalking among guests has led one of Britain's largest budget hotel groups to retrain staff to handle late-night nudity.

Travelodge, which runs more than 300 business hotels in Britain, says sleepwalking rose seven-fold in the past year, and 95% of the somnambulants are scantily clad men.

One tip in the company's newly released 'sleepwalkers guide' tells staff to keep towels handy at the front desk in case a customer's dignity needs preserving.

Another cause cited for sleepwalking: cheese. More

When Republicans Go Queer

Republican Senator Larry Craig lightly tapped his foot in an airport washroom toilet stall, yet for the explosion of scrutiny and criticism that followed, he might as well have stepped on a landmine.

That's because his case, and a recent spate of others involving right wing, social conservative politicians and pastors embroiled in gay sex scandals in the United States, have exposed an awkward psychological tension between an ideology mostly identified as anti-gay, and its foot soldiers who happen to have sex with men.

Some call it tragic, others call it the height of hypocrisy, but perhaps what is most interesting is what might be going on inside the minds of these men who are having sex with men one minute, and then publicly condemning it the next. More

The King of Sperm

The world’s largest collections of stored genetic material are found in Sussex, England, Spitsbergen, Norway — and Los Angeles.

Sussex hosts the Millennium Seed Bank, which houses some 750 million species of plant seed. Spitsbergen, an island less than 600 miles from the North Pole, is the site of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, which safeguards — inside a tunnel, inside a mountain — every variety of all of the Earth’s 21 major food crops.

Los Angeles is home to the California Cryobank, the largest sperm bank in the world, with enough human seed supercooled on-site to repopulate the planet several times over.

The first two projects are international efforts to preserve our genetic future; the last is a private enterprise on L.A.’s Westside run by a man occasionally known as “The King of Sperm.” More

Oregon Man Leaves Baby in Nevada Brothel Parking Lot

It is usually a very bad idea to go out whoring on the weekend you have custody of your child to attend a "private function" for two hours.

Lucien Hoffman, of Bend, Oregon is in custody for leaving his two-year old girl alone in an automobile at a Nevada brothel for more than two hours. Deputies investigating the case at the Mustang Ranch say the outside temperature was 95 degrees.

Detective/Sergeant Kenneth Quirk with the Storey County Sheriff's Office, says they were called out Sunday evening to investigate a report of the little girl left unattended in the parking lot of the Mustang Ranch Brothel.

The toddler was reportedly crying when security guards noticed her unattended in the vehicle parked in the brothel parking lot. The guards were unable to locate a parent or guardian and reported the incident to the Storey County Sheriffs Office. Brothel employees took the child from the vehicle and took her indoors until sheriff's deputies arrived. More

Man charged with stripping woman's corpse for sex

MONESSEN, Pa. -- A Monessen man allegedly broke into a funeral parlor and tampered with a female corpse before getting caught in the act, police said.

Roderick Jones, who police said was convicted of abuse of a corpse in 1999, is facing new charges stemming from the alleged incident in Monessen last month.

Panda poop to be recycled into souvenirs

BEIJING --Nothing says "I love you" like a photo frame made from panda poop.

The Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Base has come up with a dung-for-profit scheme that turns droppings from the endangered species into odor-free souvenirs ranging from bookmarks to Olympic-themed statues of the animals, state media and base officials said Monday.

The facility in the southwestern province of Sichuan houses about 40 bamboo-fed pandas who produce less than a ton of excrement a day.

"We used to spend at least 6,000 yuan ($770) a month to get rid of the droppings but now they can be lucrative," Jing Shimin, assistant to the base director, was quoted as saying by the official Xinhua News Agency. More

Aussies go crazy for cat poo coffee

CANBERRA - Cafe-crazy Australians in the last decade have embraced coffee in all its forms, but they've saved the most expensive -- and excremental -- for last.

Kopi Luwak, made in neighboring Indonesia from coffee beans excreted by native civet cats, is reputedly the world's rarest and most expensive coffee, painstakingly extracted by hand from the animals' forest droppings.

When roasted, the resulting beans sell for around US$1,000 a kilogram ($1365/kg) and brew into a earthy, syrupy, coffee acknowledged by connoisseurs as one of the world's finest.

Despite the closeness of the coffee's home on the islands of Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi, Australia's first civet cat brew has only just gone on sale in Queensland state, selling for AUS$50 a cup at the Heritage Tea Rooms, west of Townsville. More

However, their sexual liaison ended when a friend of the boy barged through the door.. More

Forbidden love of the brother and sister

Had it stopped at an appropriate point, the story of Patrick Stuebing and Susan Karolewski could have been poignant and moving.

Separated by adoption in their native East Germany, the siblings met for the first time in 2000 when Patrick tracked down his birth mother and the younger sister he had never met.

Because for the past seven years, brother and sister have been lovers. In that time they have had four children together - two of whom are mentally and physically disabled and all of whom are now in care.

And despite the fact that 29-year-old Stuebing, an unemployed locksmith, has already served two jail sentences for committing incest with his sister, now aged 22, the couple defiantly refuse to give each other up. More

"Love You Long Time" but Bring Your Own Condom

Los Angeles, CA - Ten Southland massage parlors and acupuncture clinics alleged to be fronts for prostitution were out of business Thursday, with six people facing pimping and conspiracy charges, authorities in Orange County said.

As investigators must be very meticulous in documenting a case against the illegal sex trade, they spent three years going back again and again gathering evidence. Authorities said virtually no legitimate business was conducted at the six locations in Anaheim, and one each in Tustin, Dana Point, Orange and Rancho Mirage in Riverside County.

Ads placed in local newspapers to attract customers offered "Beautiful Girls," and "Young Chinese Ladies."

Illustrating the scope of the operation, during a two- month period, alleged pimp Jian Shi's credit card was used to buy 7,500 square feet of Kirkland Plastic Food Wrap, and within a two-week period, his card was used to buy 12 bottles of Vaseline lotion. Authorities allege that in order to economize their operation the items were used as condoms and lubricant. More
