SKI 15 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Man rips out own eyes in church A CHURCHGOER ripped out his eyeballs as a priest gave Sunday mass yesterday. British-born Aldo Bianchini, 46, stood up calmly and tore them out with his bare hands then collapsed in a pool of blood. His mother tried to help him as the priest called for help. But surgeons were unable to save his sight. He told doctors in Viareggio, Italy, he "heard voices" telling him to rip out his eyes. Dr Gino Barbacci said: "To do that requires superhuman strength." Priest Lorenzo Tanganelli, who continued his service after the horror, said: "I've never seen so much blood." In the Bible, Jesus says: "If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell."

hellyer 216 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 It appears Heff finally failed to get it up A controversial TV drama about Playboy bunnies has been axed in the US after just three episodes. Set in 1960s Chicago, The Playboy Club suffered poor ratings, mixed reviews and protests by activists who tried to encourage an advertiser boycott. The show, whose period setting had invited comparisons with Mad Men, was produced in conjunction with Hugh Hefner's Playboy Enterprises. The 85-year-old narrated the pilot that kicked off the series on 19 September. NBC said it would replace the programme with a new news magazine show, hosted by US anchorman Brian Williams. The Playboy Club had starred Amber Heard as a bunny girl employed at the first nightclub set up by Hefner's magazine empire. The show had hoped to capitalise on the appetite for period dramas inspired by Mad Men, about advertising executives working in 1960s New York. ABC's newly launched Pan Am, about stewardesses working for Pan American Airways during the era, has also been compared to the AMC network's ratings hit. Lobbying group the Parents Television Council said it was pleased NBC had cancelled The Playboy Club, a show it had called "degrading and sexualising".

pie-eater 207 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 'Killer' curry competition hospitalises two Diners suffered vomiting and cramps whilst participating in a 'world's hottest chilli' eating competition in Edinburgh Two contestants in a 'world's hottest chilli' eating competition at an Edinburgh Indian restaurant had to be taken to hospital after suffering violent reactions to the spicy dish. The Scottish Ambulance Service criticised the Kismot curry house, St Leonards Street, after 10 diners suffered vomiting and some passed out after eating the 'killer' curry during the charity event. Two people were taken to the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary after British Red Cross workers on hand at the contest on Saturday were overwhelmed by the adverse reactions to the "Kismot Killer". Abdul Ali, one of brothers who runs the family restaurant, said he would have to tone down the dish for future contests to avoid another call out for the emergency services. The restaurant's website states that contestants must sign a legal disclaimer before taking part in the competition, which raised £1,500 for the Children's Hospice Association of Scotland (Chas). It also advises diners to put a toilet roll in the freezer when they get home. Ali said the contestants suffered severe stomach pains after eating the Kismot Killer in the final round. He said: "Unfortunately they were in pain and didn't want to move. They vomited a couple of times. About three or four vomited in the toilets and some went outisde for fresh air. "We're definitely going to cool it down next year." Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Good old Hooky at it again....... Peter Hook has vowed to "fck! over" his former bandmates in New Order in "any possible way" he can. The bassist has reacted angrily after his former bandmates Bernard Sumner and Stephen Morris announced that they will play two benefit shows this year, with Gillian Gilbert also returning to the fold after a decade out of the band. The shows are taking place to help with medical expenses for sick friend Michael Shamberg. Hook, who is currently touring with his band The Light playing Joy Division songs, had initially issued a statement expressing his disgust at the planned shows and has now told Spinner that he wants to screw over Sumner and Morris. Asked about how he felt about negative reaction from Joy Division fans to his live shows with The Light, he replied: "It actually scared off a lot of the people I wanted to work with, which made me all the more determined. It's the same thing with New Order deciding to tour without me. It makes me all the more determined to [censored] New Order over in any possible way I can. If they think I'm just going to scuttle off to a cabin in the woods, they've got another thing coming. They're dickheads. People go and hide, but I don't. I'm a fighter. I'm going to come out fighting." Hook went onto say that he believes the band's statement that the gigs are one-offs for charity are false, and that they are currently trying to book a US tour. Speaking about the charitable aims of the gigs, he said: "It's all bollocks. They're already hawking for an American tour; me mate told me yesterday. They're hiding behind the charity gig. It's going to be a hard thing for them to pull off, but they're doing it for financial reasons mainly. Hook also said that though he was disgusted that the band hadn't asked him to play, he was "happy" that they are back playing live. He said: "I spent most of my life trying to get New Order to play, and I'm not going to stop them now. It was like banging your head against a brick wall. Unbelievable. I'm actually happy that they're going to play." Link to post Share on other sites

Marni Kotak will spend the next five weeks at the Microscope gallery in Bushwick, New York until the baby, her first, comes. Visitors to the performance called 'The Birth of Baby X' are warned the baby could be born at any moment. Miss Kotak says that giving birth is the highest form of art. She told the New York Post: ' I hope that people will see that human life is the most profound work of art, and that therefore giving birth, the greatest expression of life is the highest form of art. >>> Nice!

The tower leans 0.26 degrees to the north-west, putting it out of alignment by about 0.5m at its highest point.

BagOfCrisps 24 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 This lorry driver became the laughing stock of a rural village when he drove down a narrow lane and became wedged between two buildings. His vehicle was emblazoned with the word 'Phenomenal' - but his driving was anything but, as he became the latest victim of excessive faith in the power of satnav. The trucker was meant to be delivering soft drinks to a convenience store in the small town of Bruton, Somerset, and was looking for a parking space when he turned the 13-tonne HGV into the alley. Blindly following his satnav, the driver continued down the ever-narrowing lane until he found himself completely wedged between an estate agency and a house earlier this week. He was unable to reverse back up the lane due to its steep incline and was forced to sleep in his truck overnight while his bosses at Ian Crank Soft Drinks worked out how to free the vehicle. Mike Clifford, landlord at the nearby Sun Inn, said: 'It was a very stupid thing to do and the locals thought he was a bit of an idiot for doing it. if the lorry could fit through the exit he wouldn't have been able to turn without hitting the side of the property.
