Poverty and Pacifism in Gaza continues...

 

GAZA (Reuters) - Sales of a citrus-scented perfume marketed in Gaza have soared since it was named in honor of the rockets that Palestinians shot at Israel during a war last month, the manufacturer said.

 

"M-75" perfume, which comes in men's and women's fragrances, is named for the missiles Hamas Islamist militants shot at Tel Aviv and Jerusalem in an eight-day conflict that killed more than 170 Palestinians and six Israelis, ending with an Egyptian-brokered truce.

 

Although both sides proclaimed victory, and Israel said it had halted rocket fire at its towns, many in Gaza take pride in militants having shot a rocket as far as Tel Aviv, the longest-range aerial strike by the Palestinians so far.

 

"I hope the smell is strong enough for them to whiff in Tel Aviv and remind the Jews of the Palestinian victory," Ahmed Hassan, a customer from neighboring Egypt, said as he bought 30 vials of the perfume as souvenirs in a Gaza City shop.

 

Rajaey Odwan, director of Gaza's Continental Style perfume company which markets imported fragrances and local knockoffs, said he thought he'd give customers a chance to smell victory and "turn it into a perfume".

 

He sells the 60 ml (2 oz) black-and-green bottles made of orange, lemon and other herbal scents collected in Gaza, for about $13 apiece.

 

"Sales have gone through the roof," he said.

Justin Bieber: police uncover plot to castrate and murder teen star

 

Police have foiled an alleged plot to castrate the teen singing sensation Justin Bieber with garden shears and then strangle him with a tie.

 

 

Details of the grisly plot were revealed by police in New Mexico, who said it was masterminded by a convicted killer who is obsessed with the 18-year-old performer.

 

Dana Martin, 45, who is serving 978 years in jail for the rape and murder of a 15-year-old girl, had written letters to the singer and has a tattoo of Bieber on his leg.

 

Police said Martin recruited two would-be hitmen Mark Aaron Staake, 41, and his nephew, Tanner Ruane, 23, to try to kill Bieber.

 

They were instructed to try to get to the singer while he was in New York performing two shows at Madison Square Gardens in late November.

 

They were also allegedly told to use a paisley tie to strangle him, just as Martin had done in his previous crime.

Oops:

Ice skid fire engine crushes car

 

Two emergency vehicles called to help after a car hit a tree ended up crashing on the same patch of black ice in Sheffield.

A fire engine smashed into the stricken car on the A6135 Barnsley Road at about 04:00 GMT.

Minutes later, a paramedic response vehicle crashed into a lamp-post on the same stretch and two other cars skidded after taking evasive action.

Four people received minor injuries and the road was closed for seven hours.

Woman busted in Spain for cocaine in breast implants

 

By Ben Brumfield, CNN

December 13, 2012 -- Updated 1218 GMT (2018 HKT)

 

(CNN) -- She arrived on a suspicious flight. Her story didn't sound right. And then there was the blood ... under her breasts.

 

An airport security check in Spain led to an operating table for a passenger -- where, authorities said, they found she had tucked packs of cocaine in her breast implants.

 

The Panamanian citizen landed at Barcelona's Prat airport on a so-called "hot flight," one that came from a destination known for drug trafficking -- in this case Bogota, Colombia.

 

Ninety percent of cocaine trafficked into the United States, for example, comes from Colombia, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

 

The passenger came under the scrutiny of security agents, who weren't satisfied with the vague answers she kept giving about why she was in town, Spain's interior ministry said.

 

Her behavior aroused the suspicion of officers that she might be carrying drugs either in her luggage or on her.

 

When a female officer patted down the woman, she found bloodied bandage material under the passenger's breasts. The gauze, the officer found, was covering incisions. And the breasts were hiding "a white foreign material."

 

Fresh breast implants, the suspect mustered an explanation. Must not have healed up right.

 

The story didn't convince police, who hauled her off to a hospital.

 

"There, a medical team extracted a bag-shaped prosthesis from each breast containing a white pasty substance," the ministry said.

 

Cocaine. Nearly 1.4 kilograms (3 lbs) of it.

 

Pure cocaine goes for about $35,000 a pound, according to the DEA.

 

The expensive implants landed her in jail.

Customers Called 'Fat' on Restaurant Bill

 

The dinner bill for three friends at Chilly D's Restaurant stung, but it wasn't the price - printed on the top of the receipt were the words "Fat Girls".

"I got the bill, I was looking at bill [and] I was like, 'Why does this receipt say 'fat girls?'" customer Christine Duran said.

 

The article does not describe like, their average BMI. Like.

Meanwhile, in russia...

Vodka 'saved' elephants in Siberian freeze

 

Two elephants have been saved from the deadly Siberian cold by drinking vodka, Russian officials say.

They say the animals had to be taken out into the bitter cold after the wooden trailer they were travelling in caught fire in the Novosibirsk region.

The elephants, aged 45 and 48, suffered frostbite to the tips of their ears amid temperatures of -40C (-40F)

But they were warmed up by two cases of vodka mixed with warm water, one official was quoted as saying.

"They started roaring like if they were in the jungle! Perhaps, they were happy," the official told Russia's Ria Novosti news agency.

A Thousand Dildos For The Military Wives

A porn company says it can bring military families together with Internet-based sex toys.

 

By Sascha Segan

January 11, 2012 09:00am EST

 

 

LAS VEGAS—RealTouch wants to bring teledildonics to Afghanistan. Company manager Scott Rinaldo, appearing at a CES party sponsored by porn firm Pink Visual, said he's working on distributing "a thousand dildos for the military wives"—in this case, Internet-connected sex toys that can let families thousands of miles apart get intimate.

 

I'm not sure if he's being skeezy or sweet here. Let me start with the technology. RealTouch is a slightly terrifying, synthetic orifice that lives in a plastic tube and connects to a computer. Based on data from an Internet connection, the unit warms up, lubes up, pulses and grips any item stuck into it. On the other end of a connection, a "performer"—who could be a paid "cam girl," or the aforementioned military wife—hand-operates a sensor-covered rod to run the motors in the RealTouch.

 

I really hope I didn't just freak out anyone reading this story.

 

Rinaldo's core audience, at least so far, is men who buy his device to sync it with porn videos in the privacy of their own homes. But Rinaldo sees a genuine social benefit in his tech, so he said he's trying to get in touch with the U.S. military to have RealTouch approved as a method for a sort of virtual conjugal visit. (Presumably, female soldiers could operate the rod while deployed and send the main unit home.) Given the lack of privacy on military bases, I'm not sure how that would work, exactly. But it's a thought.

 

RealTouch is the latest stab at teledildonics, the science of remote-controlled sex. The term was coined in 1975 by a science-fiction author, according to Wikipedia. The gadget's appearance here at CES was part of a sex-tech party organized by Pink Visual, a porn company which specializes in technology-forward content delivery.

 

As an intrepid reporter, I stuck my finger into a RealTouch unit while performer Kirsten Price hand-rubbed a nearby, Internet-connected dildo. The sensation was very strange; what felt like a whirring, rotating, feathery object made of a moist latex-like material was almost polishing my finger. Afterwards, my finger smelled like lube. I'm not going to judge.

 

RealTouch is currently available for $249.

Imagine if this ruling catches on in the U.S.?

Business woman injured in sex romp gets worker's comp

 

 

She suffered injuries to her nose and mouth when a light fixture fell on her

 

An Australian court has ruled that a woman who was injured while having sex in her hotel room during a business trip is eligible for workers' compensation, The Australian reports.

The unidentified woman, who was in her late 30s, claimed facial and psychological injuries after a glass light fitting fell from the wall above the bed in her hotel room while she was having sex with a male friend.

The fixture hit her in the face, injuring her nose and mouth, the Associated Pressreported. The woman, who was on a business trip to Nowra, 100 miles south of her hometown of Sydney, later suffered depression and was unable to continue working for the government.

The male friend said in a statement at the time that they were "going hard" and that he did not know if they bumped the light or it just fell down during the tryst in 2007.

The woman's initial compensation claim was initially accepted by Comcare, the federal government's insurer, but was later revoked after an administrative tribunal ruled that sex was "not an ordinary incident of an overnight stay" such as showering, sleeping and eating, the AP reported.

After three appeals, however, the Full Bench of the Federal Court ruled last week that in the absence of misconduct or any intentionally self-inflicted injury, the injuries should be considered as sustained during "the course of her employment."

The court noted that she would also have been entitled to compensation if she had been playing a game of cards in her hotel room and the fact that sexual activity was involved "rather than some other lawful recreational activity" should not be considered a disqualifying factor.

Good to know my healing hands have been providing shade tree oncology for years.

 

My buddy Don put his spin on it:

 

"Compression, in an of itself, is not likely to be a therapy".... Well, no freaking duh! He left out twisting, smacking, sucking, motor-boating, all KINDS of other treatment. Yeesh! What kind of half-assed "scientist" is that guy?!?

'STRALIA

Where you can make weapons out of the wildlife

Police arrest man armed with sawfish bill

 

Police have arrested a man who was allegedly armed with a weapon made from the snout of a sawfish in Western Australia's Pilbara.

Officers in Karratha were called to a house in Millars Well last night after reports a man was acting aggressively during a dispute with neighbours.

It is alleged Jayden Moody was threatening people with the sawfish sword.

 

...

Police say they spent some time working out if they could charge Moody with being armed with a weapon, as technically he was armed with part of a fish.

He is also expected to be charged with possessing a weapon.

Moody is due to re-appear in court tomorrow.
