Woman dies of thirst after she was dragged out of SC hospital to jail over unpaid court fines
Police request public's help with locating serial squirter
Michael Kevin Morris of Easton, Pennsylvania, has been identified by
Bethlehem police as the man who has been squirting his semen on women.
Police are asking for the public's help to locate him.
Police issued an arrest warrant on Tuesday for 57-year-old Morris on
indecent assault and other charges for allegedly squirting semen from a container onto a woman on Monday morning in a grocery store.
Police said they were called shortly after 11am by a woman who said a
man, later identified as Morris, approached her in the Valley Farm
Market store.
The woman said Morris walked up to her with some sort of container and
"squirted semen on her buttocks." She told police the liquid was semen
and she followed Morris out of the store.
As he walked away, the woman used her cellphone to take several photos
of him and told Morris she was going to call police. She said he
replied, "Please don't."
Morris is also wanted by police in connection with a 2014 assault in Bethlehem where he allegedly followed a woman off a bus and squirted seminal fluid on her. In the earlier case, police said the woman was getting off a bus when Morris followed her and squirted semen on her buttocks. Morris was identified as the suspect in that case through DNA evidence collected from the woman's clothing, police said. When police showed a photo line-up to the woman in Monday's assault, she identified Morris as the man who assaulted her.
Bethlehem police Chief Mark DiLuzio described Morris as a 'serial squirter',
calling his actions alarming for women.
"This isn't just an isolated incident because it's been going on for
years," DiLuzio said. "It's time we put a stop to it and get this guy
off the streets. This is a public health issue and a serious crime."
In 1988, Morris was charged with squirting semen from a condom on two
female clerks at a pharmacy, but charges of indecent assault were
dismissed because both clerks testified Morris did not touch them.
Morris was found guilty of disorderly conduct and ordered to pay a fine.
Naked man found in car on train tracks charged with DWI
An intoxicated man from College Station, Texas, was found naked in a car
that was stuck on train tracks, according to police reports.
Police were called to the area of College Station at around 2:20am on
Monday for an intoxicated driver.
According to a Probable Cause Statement, an officer found a vehicle on
the train tracks and the driver still inside without any clothes.
Police say the driver, Connor James Bond, attempted to start the car with scissors after seeing the officer and then ran away from the scene when an ambulance arrived.
Police chased the 19-year-old and wrestled him to the ground to get him into custody. Bond tried to physically assault the arresting officer before he was put into handcuffs. Bond was taken to the Brazos County jail and is facing several charges including resisting arrest, evading arrest and DWI.
Prior to the officer arriving, a witness called 911 and said the Bond's vehicle was driving erratically in the area and weaving into opposing traffic. Police say they found a half-empty bottle of Everclear liquor in the back of Bond's vehicle. Bond told the officer that he had been drinking prior to this incident.

Mysterious burst of radio waves traced to galaxy billions of light-years away
by Miriam Kramer
This marks the first time the distance to an FRB has been measured.
FRBs send out as much energy in a
fraction of a second as the sun puts out in 10,000 years, but they are
exceedingly difficult to find.
Plus, no one is sure exactly what creates them.
“Our discovery opens the way to
working out what makes these bursts,” Simon Johnston, one of the team
members who made the FRB discovery, said in a statement.
The authors of the Nature study suggest that the April FRB — which
took six days to fade — may have been produced by the merger of two
compact stars, which sent out the radio burst.It's also possible that more than one kind of cataclysmic event in the universe can create an FRB. For instance, some models suggest that a supernova explosion or a pulsar — a rotating neutron star — pulse could create an FRB.
"I've been pretty skeptical of the 'compact object merger' hypothesis, but the authors' observations are just beautifully consistent with what you'd expect," astronomer Peter K.G. Williams, who is unaffiliated with the study, told Mashable via email.
"But I've also heard rumors about other results that other teams that are working on that are totally inconsistent with this hypothesis, so the theorists still have a lot of work left to do! It's an exciting time."
Astronomer Duncan Lorimer, the author of a News and Views companion piece in Nature, gets a little more specific and suggests that this FRB may have been produced when two neutron stars merged.
That possibility could present even more exciting options for follow up studies during future events.
"Such a system would emit a large
fraction of its energy in the form of gravitational waves, which are
produced by accelerating bodies, according to Einstein’s general theory
of relativity," Lorimer wrote.
If FRBs can be produced by neutron star combinations, and if gravitational waves
— ripples in the fabric of space-time — can be detected with them, it
could have serious implications for the future of astronomy.
"This
is getting a bit ahead of ourselves, but a simultaneous detection of an
FRB and a gravitational wave event would be — this is a technical term —
totally bananas," Williams said.
At the moment scientists have only observed 17 FRBs, and most of them have been found by going back through old data; however, the future of this research is looking bright.
Astronomers recently detected
gravitational waves for the first time, opening up a new door into the
universe. Now, scientists can learn more about the most cataclysmic
crashes between massive objects like black holes.
If FRBs are also associated with
these extreme collisions, scientists will have another data point that
can be used in investigating these major and mysterious events.
All the stuff in the cosmos
The FRB observed in April is also being used as a cosmic scale for the universe.
Because scientists know the
distance to the FRB galaxy, they were able to measure the material
between the Milky Way and the elliptical galaxy that played host to the
burst.
"By also having a distance we
can now measure how dense the material is between the point of origin
and Earth, and compare that with the current model of the distribution
of matter in the universe," Johnston said. “Essentially this lets us weigh the universe, or at least the normal matter it contains."
The results of the study appear
to confirm the model currently in use: The universe is about 70 percent
dark energy, 5 percent regular matter and 25 percent dark matter.
Until now, scientists weren't
able to find half of the regular matter, so researchers referred to it
as "missing," but the new measurement seems to find that matter,
according to the study's authors.
"It’s the first time a fast radio burst has been used to conduct a
cosmological measurement," Evan Keane, co-author of the new study, said
in the statement.At the moment scientists have only observed 17 FRBs, and most of them have been found by going back through old data; however, the future of this research is looking bright.
"There are good reasons to think
that our understanding of FRBs will increase dramatically in the near
future," Lorimer said. "New telescopes,including the Canadian
HydrogenIntensity Mapping Experiment and the Five hundred-meter Aperture
Spherical Telescope in China, should discover many FRBs."
Loyal dog waited outside apartment for two weeks hoping murdered owner would return
A loyal dog has been waiting patiently at his owner's door step in
Houston, Texas, for over two weeks, not realizing he's never coming
back.
"You could just tell that he was a lost dog," said Cassandra Eubanks who
lives at an apartment complex near Hobby Airport.
Eubanks said every day, she would see the German Shepherd at the front
gates of the apartment complex, looking and searching for his owner to
drive in.
"He would follow the cars and when he would realize that it was not his
owner's car, he would just stand there and look helpless," said Eubanks.
Neighbors said they would also see the dog waiting outside of an
apartment door. Not long after, they understood why the dog was waiting
for so long. His owner, and convenience store clerk, 54-year-old Hatem
Abuharbid, was killed this past month during an armed robbery.
How do you explain that to a dog? "Of course he's confused because he doesn't know what's going on. He hadn't seen his owner in two weeks," said Eubanks. The dog would not come close to anyone. Residents left behind food and water. Finally, after a plea on social media for help, Maranda Perez responded with her dog. "As a German shepherd, he didn't stand a chance," said Perez. "It just broke my heart to hear that the poor animal lost his owner, his best friend."
Man sold neighbor's pet bull because it kept fraternizing with his cows
A man sold a bull that didn't belong to him because it kept
"fraternizing" with his heifers, a judge in New Zealand heard on
Wednesday.
Tony Michael Zonneveld, 54, of Edendale, in eastern Southland, was
convicted and ordered to pay $1,200 to the owner of the bull within one
month when he appeared before Judge Christina Cook in the Gore District
Court.
Zonneveld's defense lawyer Jono Ross said the bull got through the fence
running between Zonneveld's paddock and the paddock housing the bull
and was "fraternizing" with Zonneveld's herd of 30 heifers.
Ross said Zonneveld moved the bull back onto the owner's property. The
next day the bull was "fraternizing" with Zonneveld's stock again. He again removed the bull from his property and spoke to the owner, asking her to fix the fence or put up a hot wire to keep the bull contained, Ross said. On the third day there was no hot wire put up and the bull again got into Zonneveld's heifers. He was concerned the bull could impregnate them at the wrong time of the year, which could result in a loss of projected income and a loss of stock progeny. The heifers were valued at $700 each. Ross said at that point Zonneveld "took things into his own hands" and transported the bull to a paddock on his own farm, where he set it up with a hot wire, which he was entitled to do under the Impounding Act. He did not tell the owner he had moved the bull and then sold it at the sale yards. When the heifers were scanned, two were found to be pregnant.
The proceeds from the sale of the bull were used to pay for the scanning, which cost $104.35, and the remainder of $878 was paid to the owner of the bull, Ross said. Judge Cook asked whether Zonneveld had fraudulently filled out forms at the sale yards to sell the bull, to which Ross replied that he had and could be the subject of a further prosecution from the Ministry of Primary Industries. Judge Cook said Zonneveld was repeatedly asked about the location of the bull but would not say where it was. "Your activities have had a high level of emotional stress for the victim," Cook said. "While I can accept there was was a level of frustration and financial loss by the bull going into your property and impregnating your heifers, you have handled this in an inappropriate manner."
Following court, the bull's owner, Jenny Sheridan, said the bull was a
hand-reared pet named Harry, who was used to impregnate her cows.
When Sheridan went to check on him she found he was missing. She said
she approached Zonneveld and called him for four or five days asking if
he knew about Harry's whereabouts, to which Zonneveld continued to say
he had not seen him, she said.
In the meantime, Sheridan called local home kill operators to find out
if they had seen the bull. One told her they had seen the bull in the
same paddock as a steer they went to kill, she said.
Sheridan said she believed Harry was taken to the Lorneville saleyards
two days after disappearing from her family member's paddock and then
sent to Silver Fern Farms' Finegand meat plant to be processed a day
later.

Phantom Corsair (1938)
The Phantom Corsair's steel-and-aluminum body measured just 57 in (140 cm) in height and incorporated fully skirted wheels and completely flush fenders while forgoing running boards. The car also lacked door handles, as the doors were instead opened electrically using push-buttons located on the exterior and the instrument panel
The body measured an impressive 237 in (600 cm) long and 76.5 in (194 cm) wide, enough to accommodate four people in the front row, including one person to the left of the driver. The back seats could only hold two passengers, however, in large part because of space limitations posed by on-board beverage cabinets. Though weighing a hefty 4,600 lb (2,100 kg), the Phantom Corsair could achieve speeds of up to 115 mph.
Heinz's death in a car accident in July 1939 ended those plans, leaving the prototype Corsair as the only one ever built. 1938. Nineteen thirty-eight. Amazing.

Path that leads to nowhere is part of major networking project
Residents left bemused after finding a path that does not lead anywhere
have discovered it is part of a major networking project.
The mysterious path has been described by residents as resembling the end credits to a film, as it reads ‘to be continued in 2016’. Martin Green came across the path in John Ray Park in Braintree, Essex, whilst walking his Cockapoo, Kuqi.
Mr Green said: “It just really made me laugh as it reminds me of the end to a film, it just seems weird they haven’t finished it when you would have thought they’d have done it all in one go.” The path has been in the park since last Autumn.
Man fined for offending public decency with loud burp
A man was fined by police in Vienna, Austria, for offending public decency with a loud burp.
Edin Mehic was fined €70 (£55, $77) for belching while standing close to a policeman in the city’s famous Prater Park.
Writing on Facebook, the local bar worker said he burped after eating a kebab with too much onion.
Moments later, he wote: “I felt a hand on my shoulder.
But what had I done?... I was being reported for a ‘decency violation’,
the policeman shouted.
“I had a long discussion with him about why he wasn’t picking up real
criminals who were obviously consuming and selling completely legal
drugs. That didn’t get us very far.”
He said he thought he had been at least 20 meters away from the police officer when he burped and had no idea that they could have even heard it. He added: "I guess things can't be as bad in the area as we read in the papers because if they have time to chase up burping, it means there isn’t anything more serious to worry about."
Mehic posted a photograph of the fine, which says that he violated “public decency with a loud belch next to a police officer”. Police spokesman Roman Hahslinger confirmed on Monday that Mehic had been fined for the offending burp. Mehic plans to appeal against the fine. Though it was emitted earlier this month, the belch continues to resonate. A “loud belch” flash mob has now been planned for next Saturday near the scene of the crime.

Eric Cherry was arrested for indecent exposure when an officer spotted him inside the terminal in front of the American Airlines desk.
Cherry tried to buy an airline ticket before officers escorted him to his car to get his clothes.
Tod Brilliant shared photos of the man on Facebook, with the caption, “So this just happened at Nashville airport.
“I walked up to him and said ‘You’re amazing.’ He replied, ‘Thanks.’ Then they came for him.” Cherry appeared in court on Monday. His case was reset until Wednesday. Cherry was previously charged with public indecency in 2009.

Woman who was bitten by a tiger accused of trying to bite police officer
Officers said she was intoxicated and behaving irrationally. Eide said
she was drinking vodka with orange juice.
A witness told police Eide had approached two teens painting at an
apartment complex, grabbed them from behind and tried to hug them.
She was taken to police headquarters where she was said to be verbally
abusive, threatened to kill the officers' family members and tried to
bite an officer.
Eide's Attorney James Martin Davis said his client has an alcohol
problem and doesn't remember the incident.
"This is the second incident where she's gotten in trouble where she had been drinking excessively," said Davis. "She said she was blacked out. So obviously there's problems with alcohol related to this." Eide pleaded not guilty in December to charges of trespassing, contributing to the delinquency of a child and criminal mischief in connection to the zoo incident. She is due back in court for those charges on April 4th.
"We have a plea arrangement which has been set up and I hope this isn't
going to derail that agreement," said Davis. "She recognizes now that
she has a problem and she has to come to grips with it."
Eide allegedly stayed at the zoo after it closed on Halloween night
following the Zootacular. A boy who was with her was also cited for
trespassing.
"She has a lot in common with that tiger in the zoo. They're both behind bars and they both apparently like to bite," said Davis

Romantic Couple Held Elegant Valentine's Day Dinner at Taco Bell
As the movie Demolition Man teaches us, eventually all restaurants will be Taco Bells--even the most luxurious. Cassie and Daniel are just 16 years ahead of schedule.For their Valentine's Day dinner, they dressed formally and plated their food with china, crystal, custom-printed menus, and fine silverware.
Daniel explained to Obsev how they pulled off this romantic scene in such a non-traditional setting:
You can see more photos of their fine dining here.“We’ve been together for five years now and we’re always looking for new ways to celebrate being together,” Daniel told Obsev. “With Valentine’s Day coming up, we did what any couple did and thought up a bunch of ideas that we’d either already done or just didn’t feel right. She finally threw up her hands and jokingly said, ‘Let’s just go to Taco Bell!’ As soon as she said it, I knew we had to make it happen.”
The Taco Bell night out only came together with the help of the staff, who, Daniel said, were “really accommodating” and even “cleaned off a prime window side table and dimmed the lights a bit to set the mood.”
Man Legally Changes His Name to Double Bacon Cheeseburger
He told the Sunday People: “A name is the least important part of your personality. It’s given to you by someone else.”So now it will be necessary for the police to get a searchlight for not only the Bat-Signal, but also the Double Bacon Cheeseburger-Signal.
“Bacon Double Cheeseburger was the first name I came up with.”
The 33-year-old is one of a record-breaking 85,000 people who changed their name last year.
Others decided to name themselves over popular footballers like Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Man Utd star Wayne Rooney.
One couple called themselves Mr and Mrs Amazing, while a man preferred to be referred to as Bruce Wayne, the secret identity of Batman.

And, no, the picture above is not that of the individual - it is just a exemplar photo of generic bacon double cheeseburger. (This disclaimer is provided for the benefit of stupid people i.e., wingnuts)
