Rocker gets rabies shots after bat urinates in his eye
What is it about bats and heavy-metal musicians? Ozzy Osbourne famously interacted with a bat in another way back in 1982, but now a member of heavy metal band Torche is wishing he never came in contact with one of the winged creatures. “Ok so... A bat peed in my eye,” guitarist Andrew Elstner wrote on his Facebook page March 29. “Whether or not you think I'm telling the truth is irrelevant at this point. What I'm worried about now is rabies. A bat. It pissed into my eye. [God] help me.” The musician was staying at a friend’s house in St. Louis when he discovered a trapped and frightened bat in one of the rooms. Advertise | AdChoices
"I switch on the overhead light/ceiling fan combo and what I think at first is a shadow being cast from the spinning fan blades turns out to be a freaking bat,” the musician explained. “It circles the room a few times at light speed, and on one of the turns, dive bombs my head and squirts a little nervous pee into my eye. Holy [expletive]. I'm laughing but run to the sink and attempt to flush my eye out. I'm pretty sure I'm fine but...Not the most common of occurrences.” Elstner initially brushed it off, but, at the recommendation of both his parents and doctors, the musician went to the hospital to be treated a day later. He added, “With rabies, you have a short window to get treated, and beyond that, it is incurable and 100% fatal. Having said all that, I feel like I'm getting treated for a unicorn bite. Bunch of nonsense.” Elstner told msnbc.com that his treatment "wasn't so bad." "I had five (shots) totaly and while I'm generally terrified of needles, the nurse was pretty attractive so that helped." The guitarist, whose Florida-based band is on the road promoting the April 24 release of their new album, “Harmonicraft,” has since swapped his own Facebook profile photo for that of a fang-baring bat, and has continued to find humor in the situation, posting various updates and coverage of his story to fans. “The bat peeing in my eye story has finally achieved critical mass,” Elstner wrote Wednesday, when his story was picked up by Pitchfork Media. “What a truly strange, though now harmless, event in my life.” He told msnbc.com, "I had written that post just for my friends because I thought the story was hilarious." And for Elstner’s fans and followers, the encounter proved equally amusing. Wrote Annie Zed, “This pretty much cements your status in metal's immortal brotherhood."

Big tip or tainted cash? Waitress gets to keep $12,000 left by restaurant customer
A big fat tip or tainted drug money? Struggling Minnesota waitress Stacy Knutson said it’s the former; Moorhead, Minn., police apparently believed it was the latter. The wad of cash was left in a to-go box on a table at the Moorhead Fryin’ Pan restaurant where Knutson works. Knutson said she followed the customer out to the parking lot to give back what she thought were leftovers, but the customer said, “No, I am good; you keep it,” according a story Wednesday in The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead. Advertise | AdChoices
Knutson went back inside the restaurant, peeked inside the box and to her astonishment found $12,000 in cash rolled up in rubber bands. Like a dutiful citizen, she called police, who seized the money and reportedly told her she would get it back if no one claimed it in 60 days. But when that time period passed, she said police told her she still couldn’t get the money because it was part of a drug investigation. Apparently it didn’t pass the sniff test, because police said the money had a strong odor of marijuana. Knutson filed a lawsuit in Clay County District Court, claiming the cash is rightfully hers. On Thursday, her attorney, Craig Richie, said the County Attorney's Office and the Moorhead Police Department had agreed to let her keep all the money. “We argued that most money that you carry in your pocket has drug residue on it,” Richie told CBS station WCCO. “She could’ve kept the money and nobody would’ve known. But she said, ‘No, I’m going to do the right thing.’ So she called police and now integrity has now prevailed.” Richie told Reuters that folks around Moorhead knew that Knutson and her husband were having financial problems raising their five children. He told the news service that he believed the money was intended as a gift to the family.

A Wyoming town advertised as the smallest in the United States has sold at auction for US$900,000 (NZ$1.1m)
Buford is located between Cheyenne and Laramie in southeast Wyoming. An unidentified Vietnamese man placed the winning bid at auction early today (NZ time).
As owner of the place along Interstate 80, he will get a gas station and convenience store, a schoolhouse from 1905, a cabin, a garage, 10 acres of land, and a three-bedroom home.
The town has had just one inhabitant, Don Sammons, who served with the US Army in Vietnam in the late 1960s. He plans to retire from his unofficial title as "mayor" of the unincorporated community and write a book about his experiences in Buford.
The town traces its origins to the 1860s and the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad.
One man traveling through Tennessee allegedly completed a crime spree with such urgency that even local police say they'd never seen anything like it.
William Todd, 24, is accused of committing 10 felonies in just nine hours while going on a "terror" through Nashville.
"He was just on a terror. I've never seen anything like this before," Sgt. Tony Blackburn, told WSMV.
Todd is not even a native of Nashville. Police say he traveled there on a Greyhound bus from Kentucky before beginning his unprecedented crime spree. Upon arriving in Nashville, he allegedly broke into a local business called The Slaughterhouse, where he stole a Taser, revolver and shotgun. He then proceeded to steal a T-shirt from the Slaughterhouse before burning the business to the ground.
Todd then moved on to a local bar, where he held four patrons at gunpoint. He robbed all four individuals but not before using the Taser on one and pistol-whipping another.
Just five minutes later, Todd moved onto his next alleged felony, carjacking a taxi driver at gunpoint. After leaving the cab, he used the credit cards he had stolen from the bar patrons to buy food.
"He was able to find the Walmart on Nolensville. He goes there and purchased $199 worth of items," Sgt. Blackburn said.
And that was only the beginning.
In the early hours of the following morning, Todd then broke into a local hotel's law office. He not only vandalized the offices but also then defecated on a desk and smeared his feces on some of the framed law degrees.
Leaving the offices, Todd then reportedly robbed several of the hotel guests. He knocked on their door pretending to be a female housekeeper, then robbed them at gunpoint. He was also reportedly crying while doing so.
He then briefly paused for a change in personal appearance.
"We have him on video leaving the hotel with a shaved head," Sgt. Blackburn said.
After crashing his stolen cab into a local parking garage, Todd then quickly held another taxi driver at gunpoint. When police finally apprehended Todd, he was hiding atop Opryland, partially submerged in a water-cooling vat. The Metro Fire Department was brought in to assist in Todd's removal from the vat, using a bucket and ladder truck.
His bond has reportedly been set at $180,000.
"He rode the Greyhound bus and had a layover, then left in blue lights," Sgt. Blackburn said. "There definitely could be more charges. We hope that there are no more victims."
Experts say Natasha Harris Coca-Cola habit probably contributed to her death (AP/New Zealand Herald)When people attribute someone's untimely death to a Coke overdose, they're usually not talking about the world's most popular soda.
But experts in New Zealand say Natasha Harris' 2-gallon-a-day Coca-Cola consumption "probably" contributed to her death. The soda company responded to the alleged connection by noting that even water consumption can be fatal in excessive amounts.
"The first thing she would do in the morning was to have a drink of Coke beside her bed and the last thing she would do at night was have a drink of Coke," Harris' partner Chris Hodgkinson said in a deposition. "She was addicted to Coke."
Hodgkinson testified that Harris drank between 2.1 gallons and 2.6 gallons of Coke every day.
The 30-year-old Harris died of a heart attack in February 2010. According to New Zealand's Fairfax Media, pathologist Dr. Dan Mornin testified on Thursday that Harris likely suffered from hypokalemia (low potassium levels), which he believes was caused by her overall poor nutrition, including the unusually high levels of Coke consumption.
Though in fairness to the soda manufacturer, it was also revealed that Harris made other questionable health choices before her death, including smoking a reported 30 cigarettes per day and having poor eating habits. Dr. Mornin also said Harris had "toxic levels of caffeine" in her blood, though it's not clear if those levels came exclusively from Coke or from a combination of other sources, including coffee.

A leading academic says an extreme increase in the price of cigarettes could lead to black market dealing.
Speaking in response to a Ministry of Health discussion to raising the cost of a packet of cigarettes to $100 over the next eight years, Otago University health economics lecturer Des O'Dea said: "We all remember the days of prohibition in the United States and what that did to foster organised crime."
"While I don't think it would be anywhere near the scale of that, we could well see raids on retailers and a black market develop for cigarettes," he said.
In an internal working paper, the ministry has suggested that raising the cost of cigarettes to $100 a pack would significantly help achieve the Government's goal of a smoke free New Zealand by 2025.
The idea was floated that the Government hike the price of cigarettes to $60 next year and then 10 per cent every year thereafter, making the cost of a pack $100 by 2020.
One of the commentors called smokers "Durrie Chuggers" what the hell is that supposed to mean, Gnomez?
Apparently in Utah.. a man went into a grocery store or something, bought a knife.. then hung out in front of the store and started shanking errybody. Maybe I'm a whore for stupid humor, but this story had me cracking up intensely.

Dentist pulls out all of her ex-boyfriend’s teeth after split
If you're planning a trip to the dentist, it might not be the wisest decision to make your appointment with the person you just broke up with.
A Polish woman is facing three years in prison after she removed all of her ex-boyfriend's teeth during dental surgery just days after their breakup.
"I tried to be professional and detach myself from my emotions," Anna Mackowiak, 34, told the Austrian Times. "But when I saw him lying there I just thought, 'What a bastard' and decided to take all his teeth out."
Marek Olszewski, 45, reportedly showed up at Mackowiak's dental office complaining of toothache just days after he broke up with her. She then allegedly gave him a "heavy dose" of anesthetic, locked the door and began removing all of his teeth one at a time.
"I knew something was wrong because when I woke up I couldn't feel any teeth and my jaw was strapped up with bandages," Olszewski said.
"She told me my mouth was numb and I wouldn't be able to feel anything for a while and that the bandage was there to protect the gums, but that I would need to see a specialist," he said.
"I didn't have any reason to doubt her, I mean I thought she was a professional."
Adding to his trauma, Olszewski said his new girlfriend has already left him over his now toothless appearance.
"And I'm going to have to pay a fortune on getting indents or something," he said.
Mackowiak is currently being investigated for medical malpractice.
She's just a girl who can't say Nein: The Munich nymphomaniac claims a second victim after 36-hour sex ordeal
German nymphomaniac who was arrested after forcing a man to make love to her eight times has struck again. Her latest victim, an African, was found weeping in the street outside her apartment by police after a 36-hour ordeal.
He fought back his tears to tell them what had happened
'I met her on a bus,' said the man. 'She invited me back here. Oh God, it was hell. I can't walk. Please help me.' Munich police confirmed his ordeal in a press statement.
The woman, believed to be 47, has now been taken into a hospital for psychiatric observation. The man only escaped from her apartment when she fell asleep. Her first victim Dieter Schulz, 43, met her in a bar in the centre of his home city. She took him back to her apartment and they had sex several times. But when the woman demanded more, the exhausted man said no.
A police spokesman said: 'He complied with the woman's wishes another few times so he could finally leave the apartment. 'But when she continued to refuse and demanded even more sex from him, he fled to the balcony.' Mr Schulz phoned police and pleaded for assistance.
'You have got to help me,' he told them. 'She is trying to kill me with sex. I cannot get out - and I cannot go on!' When police arrived to question the woman and free Schulz she invited two officers to join her in bed for a 'quickie.' They declined.

Dolphins' Heroin Overdose Blamed For Deaths After Zoo Rave
Oft-cited as one of the most intelligent animals outside of humans, dolphins exhibit highly evolved behaviors -- vocal communication, group fishing, and juggling complicated social lives.
But overdosing on heroin?
That's a new one.
According to a report by The Daily Mail, two dolphins at Connyland Zoo in Lipperswil, Switzerland, died following a weekend-long rave held at the zoo with a heroin substitute coursing through their systems.
The Sun reports the two dolphins, Shadow and Chelmers, had ingested Buprenorphine, a drug often used to wean addicts off junk, likely given to them by clubbers during the rave.
Initial reports by The Daily Mail attributed the mammals' deaths to the pulsating music at the techno gathering. But a leaked toxicology report revealed the presence of the recreational drug in their systems, which, according to marine biologist Cornelis van Elk, presents a distinct danger because "dolphins are conscious breathers, which means they actively decide when to come to the surface to breathe," and that taking an opiate "causes this part of the brain to switch off."
According to The Sun, Shadow and Chelmers died slow, painful deaths. Shadow was found dead after the rave, while Chelmers "was drifting under the water" and "shaking all over and foaming at the mouth."
The Mirror notes trainers took Chelmers out of the water with his tongue hanging out, and administering adrenalin didn't improve his condition. The dolphin died after an hour.
"I have not been able to sleep since," zookeeper Nadja Gasser told The Sun.
Animal activists warned Connyland and local planners about the dangers of the rave before the event, according to The Daily Mail, concerned with how loud music would affect animals that use sonar.
