That would be rather odd facial decoration for the workplace. I wonder if she can make it vibrate when her cell phone rings?

I couldn't believe this when I read it. If it wasn't really it would be funny.

(Newser) – Your Honor, it's really not as bad as it sounds. Or so might go the defense of Janee Young, who is charged with pepper-spraying her infant son in the face. But it seems that Young isn't just another case of a bad parent taking out anger on an innocent child: Rather, she just has really rotten aim. What Young was trying to do was spray the boy's father, with whom she'd been arguing, as he tried to leave the house with the boy, police tell the Houston Chronicle. The baby went to the hospital with minor injuries.

(Newser) – The biologist Bertold Wiesner set up a fertility clinic for high IQ donors in London in the 1940s, helping women conceive 1,500 babies before he died in 1972. But what he did not tell those using his clinic was that he was the clinic's major donor, likely making some 20 donations a year. The clinic's records were destroyed by his wife years ago, but preliminary DNA testing of 18 people conceived at the clinic indicates up to 600 babies could have been fathered by Wiesner over the years, reports the Telegraph.
In the UK, the 1990 Human Fertilization and Embryology Act limits to 10 the number of families one person can donate eggs or sperm to. Two of the men who were fathered by Wiesner at the clinic have led the charge to uncover the truth of the clinic. "It's rather uncomfortable, because artificial insemination was developed on an industrial scale for cattle, and I don't like the feeling of having been 'bred,'" said David Gollancz, adding he was frustrated to know he had so many half-siblings he would never meet. "I'd love to be able to hire a huge marquee and invite them all to a party."

In a rare and a first-of-its-kind phenomenon, a Silver Pheasant, a bird belonging to the peacock family, has changed its sex from female to a male.


Confirming this and terming it a kind of “sex dimorphism”, zoo director Renu Singh told IANS that the phenomenon had surprised most of the staff in the zoo.


The change was noticed by her some time back when she found the female in the bird enclosure shed not only her diminutive shape and size but also change her dull brown colour to a more vibrant colour of a male, which is often used by the polygamous male to win over female species.


The female has also stopped laying eggs and has undergone all “phenotypic changes” though from a distance there seem to be no changes anatomically, Renu Singh said.
She said that secondary sexual characters in the bird had definitely changed.


Zoo officials are now tinkering with the idea of seeking expert opinion on whether the lone ovary that this bird has is functioning normally or is it also in for some change.


The other sign of the sex conversion is the fact that her male partner is now seen fighting with her, now him, as no two male pheasants are known to co-exist in peace.

LITCHFIELD, Conn. (AP) — Authorities in northwestern Connecticut say they didn't find anything after a state trooper and another person reported a large object falling out of the sky in Litchfield.


The Republican-American of Waterbury reports (http://bit.ly/HEwTYZ ) that a person driving in Litchfield at about 2 a.m. Tuesday reported that a green, glowing object the size of a whale fell from the sky and crashed into Bantam Lake.

Officials say that at about the same time, a state trooper 10 miles away in Warren called dispatchers to report that something fell out of the sky and landed near Bantam or Morris.


Morris firefighters made several passes up and down the lake in a boat looking for a possible plane crash, but didn't find any debris.


Authorities called off the search, leaving the mystery unsolved.

Newser) – Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin is not going to let little things like a lack of clothes and four hungry bears get in the way of saving his bird feeders. The Burlington Free Press recounts a doozy of a tale from Montpelier this week: Shumlin spotted four bears chowing down on the bird feeders in his yard one night and ran outside, in the buff, to holler and shoo them away. "Real Vermont boys don't wear pajamas," he says. (Skivvies, either, apparently.)

The bears backed off, and Shumlin got two of the feeders inside. He went back and got the other two, and the biggest bear came running. “When I opened the door, he was on the porch and five feet from the door,” Shumlin said. “I screamed through that door." The Free Press talks to a state wildlife official on what people should do in such instances, and it's pretty much the opposite of everything Shumlin did. For the record, his own state agency warns against leaving bird feeders out at night because bears love them.

Newser) – Hong Kongers have a sex problem, reports the AFP: They're apparently not having much of it, and one theory as to why may surprise you. Real estate prices. That's right, "One of the reasons is they have no place to have sex," explains a professor who helps head up the University of Hong Kong's Family Institute. "Hong Kong is too crowded and lacks the privacy people need to have sex," he explains, adding that astronomical property prices force many residents under 40 to bunk at home, within earshot of their parents.

The reality has sex experts pushing residents to do it more often, in a bid to change their reputation for having the "least amount of sexual knowledge in the world" and potentially up their bottom-of-the-barrel birth rate of 1.04 births per woman.

Oh this is good. I've just been watching the old classic "Goldfinger", and lookie here.

Author Ian Fleming partially based the title character of his original 1959 novel 'Goldfinger' on the controversial Modernist architect Erno Goldfinger. When he learned that Fleming was naming the villain of his new James Bond novel 'Goldfinger,' the architect threatened to file a lawsuit against Fleming's publisher in an effort to stop the book's publication. Fleming's publisher then contacted the author to inquire whether Fleming might consider renaming the character, and the novel. Fleming replied that he'd be delighted to alter the name...if he could change the name of the character--and the novel--to "Goldprick." Fleming's publisher quietly settled the architect's lawsuit out of court.
So when Mike Myers thought up "Goldmember", he was traveling charted territory ... cn

I still can’t believe what I just read. Turns out a Taliban Commander has turned himself in FOR THE $100 REWARD MONEY OFFERED FOR HIS OWN CAPTURE. From the Washington Post:
Mohammad Ashan, a mid-level Taliban commander in Paktika province, strolled toward a police checkpoint in the district of Sar Howza with a wanted poster bearing his own face. He demanded the finder’s fee referenced on the poster: $100.
Afghan officials, perplexed by the man’s misguided motives, arrested him on the spot. Ashan is suspected of plotting at least two attacks on Afghan security forces. His misdeeds prompted officials to plaster the district with hundreds of so-called “Be on the Lookout” posters emblazoned with his name and likeness.
When U.S. troops went to confirm that Ashan had in fact come forward to claim the finder’s fee, they were initially incredulous.
“We asked him, ‘Is this you?’ Mohammad Ashan answered with an incredible amount of enthusiasm, ‘Yes, yes, that’s me! Can I get my award now?’” recalled SPC Matthew Baker.
I don’t even know how someone that dumb even remembers to breathe. To be fair, I think they should give his family the $100. Being related to someone that stupid had to be a burden.

Nearly a year went by before the mysteriously blow-dried coif of Ensign Chuck Hord, “lost at sea in 1908,” caused journalists to question the Navy man’s claim to perpetuity at the Pentagon — his portrait hung in a hallway alongside the likenesses of Patton and Eisenhower. Turns out that “Ensign Chuck Hord” is really a 1982 portrait of Navy retiree Capt. Tuck Hord. Wait… what? As far as the Pentagon goes, the backstory reveals what might be the best prank ever.
