Baba Singh and His Turban
Baba Avtar Singh may be the wearer of the largest turban in the world. It is his pride and joy, but is too large for Singh to get around in buses and cars, so he rides a motorcycle -barefoot. The turban weighs 187 pounds, and takes several hours to construct.
That's 700 yards of fabric, not to mention the weight of the decorations. Enjoy this video of Baba Singh from Great Big Story

Tennessee Preacher Rapes Teenage Student After Binding Her with Rope
by Chris Harris
A
Tennessee preacher and teacher’s assistant has been accused of binding
and then raping one of the teenage girls from his school, though his
defense attorney says he is innocent and “has not committed any crime.”
Law
enforcement alleges otherwise: Officials say Mike Ulmer, 53, picked up
the victim, 18, from Chester County High School on Feb. 16 and brought
her to his home in Henderson, Tennessee.
Ulmer
serves as a pastor at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Henderson, and court
records show the victim was paid to clean his house.
She
is a student at Chester County, where Ulmer also worked, though
a source tells PEOPLE he was suspended from his teacher’s assistant
position on Feb. 17, moments before he was taken into custody.
The
day before Ulmer was arrested, authorities allege he directed the
teen to do some cleaning in his office, which is contained within a
detached garage on his property.
The
victim told investigators that Ulmer allegedly used a rope to bind her
wrists in the garage. He then wove the rope through a hook in the
ceiling, she claimed, which prevented her from escaping.
According to court records, she told police Ulmer allegedly sexually assaulted her after she was bound.
He has been charged with rape, sexual battery and assault, to which he has pleaded not guilty.
The assault charge was filed on Thursday, after the same victim told police she had been abused by Ulmer nearly four months ago.
Court
documents allege that in November, he asked the girl if he could “put
his fingers in her mouth” as he was driving her home.
She
refused, but that allegedly didn’t stop Ulmer: Authorities claim he
jammed his fingers into the girl’s mouth before pulling over behind a
lumber yard, where the victim said he “was holding her head down in his
lap and forced her mouth open.”
Investigators
say the victim recorded the alleged incident on her cell phone and that
Ulmer can be heard in audio from the incident ordering the girl to open
her mouth.
The girl can also allegedly be heard on the recording asking him to stop.
Ulmer has been released on $250,000 bond and is due back in court on May 9.
Neither
Ulmer’s church nor the local school district responded to requests for
comment. His defense attorney, Mark Donahoe, tells PEOPLE he intends on
vigorously fighting the charges.
“We maintain that Mike did nothing wrong,” Donahoe says.
