Nude drunk loses way in hotel


WELLINGTON (Reuters) –
An extremely drunk, naked man lost his way at a New Zealand hotel and ended up sleeping in the wrong room, forcing its female occupant to hide in the bathroom, local media reported.

The 29 year-old Australian man had gone back the hotel in the resort town of Queenstown with a woman, but got up in the night and wandered into a bedroom where a couple were sleeping. "He was a bit surprised that there were two people in his room and he was butt naked," Sergeant Steve Watt of Queenstown police told the Southland Times.

As the intruder slept, the startled woman took refuge in the bathroom as her husband summoned hotel staff.


The man, who could not remember whom he had been with nor what room he had been in, and had no clothes or wallet.Police gave him a ride home clad in a hotel bathrobe, but let him off after the guests and hotel decided not to press charges.

"It was far too funny," said Watt.

Barber tries to rob store over bad beef jerky


CLEVELAND – Police said a Cleveland barber became so upset by what
he considered bad beef jerky that he returned to the store where he
bought it and tried to rob the owner. Police said the 28-year-old
barber walked into the store where he bought the snack, just two doors
down from his barbershop, and tried to rob the owner Thursday night.

The owner told the man he recognized him and chased him outside with a baseball bat.
The first police officer who arrived on the scene was also familiar with the barber because he cuts the officer's hair.

Police arrested the man at his girlfriend's house a few miles away.
The barber told police the stick of beef jerky he bought sickened him and his dog.

A four-time gold medalist subdued and help capture a teenage intruder at her home in Australia. It's a pretty impressive story before you consider that the would-be victim won the first of those gold medals in 1956.Dawn Fraser, who won eight Olympic medals for Australia from 1956 through 1964, was at a home in Australia when a man grabbed her by the front gate. Bad idea.

"This guy came out of the gate and grabbed me and I grabbed him by the ear and I kicked him in the groin.So he had to let me go. He threatened my life and I got really annoyed about that and just grabbed him by the ear and the hair."

Grabbing an ear and kicking a groin? That sounds like a scene from a Three Stooges movie. It's bad enough to be a burglar. It's bad enough
to be a bad burgler. But to be a bad burglar that gets caught after being kicked in the groin by a 71-year old? Ouch, on multiple levels. Fraser's
attitude doesn't seem to have changed from her swimming days. She was always considered cocky (especially when she broke the Australian
record in the 100m freestyle and told reporters that she wasn't impressed with her time) and once smacked a teammate with a pillow
during an argument at a team meeting.While Fraser said she was "annoyed" with the intruder, she couldn't be too angry, since she has dabbled in some intruding herself. At the 1964 Tokyo Games, Fraser went on a middle-of-the-night raid to steal a flag from the entrance to the Emperor's palace. She was caught and arrested, but was released soon after and given the flag anyway.

Judge: Hairspray triggered teen's alcohol monitor

Mon Sep 14, 9:05 pm ET

DeFUNIAK SPRINGS, Fla. – A judge ruled that constant exposure to hairspray set
off a teen's alcohol monitoring device — not consumption of alcohol.
Based on evidence presented Thursday, Judge Kelvin Wells said he
wouldn't revoke the pre-trial release of a 17-year-old teen. The teen
was wearing the anklet under a court order. The device issued an alert in July after three separate readings
showed she had alcohol in her system.
The teen works at a hair salon
and her attorney argued that hairspray triggered the alert. A
co-founder of the anklet testified that certain products — including
perfumes and cleaning products — can trigger a false alert.

She's charged with DUI manslaughter and DUI with serious bodily injury. Her trial is scheduled to begin in January.

A well known Supermarket giant today
reported that more of its extra-large
condoms had been bought in Glasgow
than anywhere else in the UK.

The new condoms....

10mm longer and 1mm wider than
the standard version went on sale
at the outlet earlier this month.

I wonder if they had a run on
bigger hats too?.

Getting Freaky with 'Paranormal Activity'

Ten years ago, moviegoers were scared out of their minds by "The Blair Witch Project." Will the newly released screamfest "Paranormal Activity" have the same effect? Early search interest points to "yes."

The film is shot documentary style (but is scripted, like "Blair
Witch"), and concerns a couple who may have a poltergeist in their
home. They're dubious at first, but quickly change their tunes after
"things" start happening. But by then is it too late? After all, horror
movies have a tendency to punish doubters as much as amorous teenagers.

One of the things that makes "Paranormal Activity" unique is its
release schedule. Right now, the film is only being screened in a
handful of theaters. However, if moviegoers make enough noise and bug
the studio bigwigs, the film may get a wider release. Wisely, the
filmmakers have made it easy for fans to voice their demand. A visit to
the movie's official site leads to a form that goes to theater owners. Power to the people.

And then there's the trailer -- "Paranormal Activity" did something
unique in that the trailer aims the camera at a special sneak preview
audience reacting to what they're seeing on screen. The moviegoers
scream, jump, and generally turn into blubbering messes of terror. It's
what every horror fan wants to see.

Lookups on "paranormal activity" are up a whopping 450% this week, and related queries on "paranormal activity trailer" are also trending upwards. Feeling brave? You can watch it for yourself below...

Vampires vow till death do us part at Ohio wedding


COLUMBIA STATION, Ohio – An Ohio bride and ghoul have vowed to love each other and haunt and howl at the moon together at a Halloween-themed wedding. Sixty-one-year-old Jack Holsinger and 44-year-old Connie Spitznagel were both made up as pale-faced vampires for their scare-emoney Saturday night at a haunted house near Cleveland. The two chose the location because it's operated by the same people who own a campground where the couple met.

Holsinger arrived in a coffin inside a hearse, and the coffin was carried to the altar by six pallbearers. Minister Greg Kopp was dressed as Jason in the "Friday the 13th" movies. After the vows were exchanged, he ordered Holsinger not to kiss his new bride but instead to bite her on the neck.

No sign of boy said to have floated off on balloon

By P. SOLOMON BANDA and IVAN MORENO, Associated Press Writer P. Solomon Banda And Ivan Moreno, Associated Press Writer

FORT COLLINS, Colo. – A giant silvery helium balloon
floated away from a yard in Colorado with a 6-year-old boy believed to
be inside and slowly touched down in a field two hours later with the
child nowhere in sight, setting off a frantic search for the boy.

The saga captivated people around the country as they stopped to watch the
jaw-dropping sight on television of the balloon gliding through the
air. The flying saucer-like balloon tipped precariously at times before
gliding to the ground in a field, the culmination of a two-hour,
50-mile journey through two counties.

Larimer County sheriff's pokeswoman Kathy Messick said one of the boy's two older brothers saw
6-year-old Falcon Heene get into a box that was attached to the balloon
with pegs. The box was not found when the balloon landed; video
appeared to show something falling from the balloon at some point after
it launched.

The balloon was owned by the boy's parents, Richard and Mayumi Heene, who are storm chasers
and also appeared on the ABC reality show "Wife Swap."

Kevin Kuretich, of the Colorado Division of Emergency Management,
said authorities were searching the ground along the path of balloon.
"We're searching for the boy from the point where this took off to
where it landed," Kuretich said.

He said it also had some kind of electric power unit which was run by
double-C batteries. He said the balloon did seem to big enough to carry
a 6-year-old. Messick also said investigators are looking into every
possibility, including whether the boy was ever in the balloon. Yellow
crime-scene tape was placed around the home.

Jason Humbert saw the balloon land. He said he had gotten a call from his
mother in Texas who told him about the balloon. He said was in field
checking on oil well when he found himself surrounded by police who had
been chasing the balloon, which came to a rest 12 miles northeast of Denver International Airport.

"It looked like an alien space ship you see in those old, old movies. You
know, those black and white ones. I came down softly. I asked a police
officer if the boy was OK and he said there was no one in it," Humbert
said.

Neighbor Bob Licko, 65, said he was leaving home when he heard commotion in the backyard of the family.
He said he saw two boys on the roof with a camera, commenting about
their brother.

"One of the boys yelled to me that his brother was way up in the air," Licko said.

Licko said the boy's mother seemed distraught and that the boy's father was running around the house.

In a 2007 interview with The Denver Post, Richard Heene described becoming a storm chaser
after a tornado ripped off a roof where he was working as a contractor
and said he once flew a plane around Hurricane Wilma's perimeter in
2005.

Pursuing bad weather was a family activity with the children coming along as the father sought evidence
to prove his theory that rotating storms create their own magnetic
fields.

Although Richard said he has no specialized training, they had a computer tracking system in their car and a special motorcycle.
The Heene family appeared twice on the ABC reality show "Wife Swap," most recently in February.

"When the Heene family aren't chasing storms, they devote their time to
scientific experiments that include looking for extraterrestrials and
building a research-gathering flying saucer to send into the eye of the
storm," it says.

While the balloon was airborne, Colorado Army National Guard
sent an OH-58 Kiowa helicopter and was preparing to send a Black Hawk
UH-60 to try to rescue the boy, possibly by lowering someone to the
balloon. They also were working with pilots of ultralight aircraft on
the possibility of putting weights on the homemade craft to weigh it
down.

But the balloon landed on its own
in a dirt field. Sheriff's deputies secured it to keep it in place,
even tossing shovelfuls of dirt on one edge.
The episode led to a brief shutdown of northbound departures
from one of the nation's busiest airports, said a controller at the Federal Aviation Administration's radar center in Longmont, Colo.

FAA canceled all northbound takeoffs between 1 p.m. and 1:15 p.m. MDT, said Lyle Burrington, the National Air Traffic Controllers Association representative at the center. The balloon was about 15 miles northwest of the airport at that time.

Before the departure shutdown, controllers had been vectoring planes
taking off in that direction away from the balloon, Burrington said.
Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Laura Brown said the agency tracked the balloon through reports from pilots.
Neighbor Lisa Eklund described seeing the balloon pass.

"We were sitting eating, out looking where they normally shoot off hot air balloons.
My husband said he saw something. It went over our rooftop. Then we saw
the big round balloonish thing, it was spinning," she said."By the time I saw it, it traveled pretty fast," she said.

The story gripped the television news networks, which set aside
other programming to follow the balloon and speculate on the safety of
the boy.

"It's got everybody freaked out," said Fox News Channel's Shepard Smith, "and why wouldn't it?"

A man from the Northern Territory has been fined

for importing steroids to help him with erection problems.

Troy Allan Martin Chester did not appear in the Darwin
Magistrates Court this morning but his lawyer pleaded guilty
on his behalf to importing prohibited steroids and lying on his
arrival form to Customs.

The court heard Chester bought 100 methandrastenalone pills
from an overseas pharmacy.

Customs found the pills in his bag when he flew into Darwin from
Singapore in September last year.

He told officers the pills would help him with his erection problems.

Chester also pleaded guilty to importing two illegal laser pointers.

His lawyer said they were cheaper overseas and Chester used them
for hunting.

He was fined $1500.
