Holy Cow! Two-Headed Calf Shocks Dairy Updated: 09:44, Thursday August 23, 2007 Dairy workers were left stunned after a rare new breed of cow was born - Blinky the two-headed calf. Picture from www.fresnobee.com "We call her Blinky because all four eyes blink at the same time," said Greg Hamstra, owner of Hamstra Dairy in Tulare, California. Mr Hamstra joked that he was not going to be charging admission fees for workers and their friends wishing to see the unusual beast. But, speaking to the Fresno Bee newspaper and website, he added: "We're probably getting less done than normal." Advertisement Blinky was born on Tuesday morning and was promptly discovered by one of the workers. The Holstein heifer has one neck and two ears, but she also has four eyes, two noses and two mouths. Hamstra said the calf suckles on two bottles at the same time. "It's a rare, freaky thing," Dr Pete Kistler, a Tulare veterinarian who examined Blinky, told the paper. He says he does not know whether the deformity is genetic or developmental. Dr Kistler says he suspects that Blinky also has a deformity in her brain because she cannot stand up.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/crime/article/0,,2152787,00.html A robber who held up a bookmakers with his girlfriend's vibrator was jailed today. Nicki Jex concealed the Rampant Rabbit sex toy in a carrier bag and pretended it was a gun during the raid on the Ladbrokes shop in Leicester on December 27 last year. A member of staff at the branch handed over more than £600 in cash when he pointed the bag at her, Leicester crown court was told. Jex, 27, of Braunstone, pleaded guilty to the robbery, which was captured on a CCTV camera inside the shop. [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/crime/article/0,,2152787,00.html#article_continue] Sentencing him to five years behind bars, the judge, Philip Head, said: "It's right to record that you did not have a firearm but you pretended you had and intended that those you confronted believed that you did, and it must have been truly terrifying for them at the time." The surveillance camera recorded Jex striding into the shop brandishing the "firearm" minutes before staff were due to close for the day. Tim Palmer, prosecuting, told the court: "The defendant pointed the item in the carrier bag at the cashier. She immediately assumed it to be a firearm. In fact, what was contained within the carrier bag was the defendant's girlfriend's vibrator." The cashier retreated behind the counter and he turned the imitation weapon on the shop manager, demanding cash. She handed over £613 in till contents and other money, the court was told. As Jex made his escape, the shop's only remaining customer, Wayne Vakani, followed him outside. "The defendant pointed the vibrator in the bag at Mr Vakani and warned him to back off," said Mr Palmer. "Mr Vakani then kept a discreet distance but kept an eye on the defendant and watched where he went." Jex visited a local pub "obviously flush with money" to buy friends a drink. Thanks to Mr Vakani, the defendant's hat worn in the robbery and containing his DNA was discovered nearby. Jex also tried in vain to sell the distinctive camel-coloured coat he had been wearing during the raid. When he was arrested he denied any involvement in the robbery, but he later owned up. The court was told that Jex, a drug addict, had a string of previous convictions dating back to February 2002, including shoplifting, failing to surrender and possession of heroin. In mitigation, Phil Gibbs, defending, said Jex, a qualified chef and engineer, had fought a battle against drug addiction and had a "fragile" state of mind. The judge awarded £500 to Mr Vakani for his "very considerable courage".

Kidnappers seal deal on stamp paper

LUCKNOW: Here's the latest in corporatisation of crime. An agreement on stamp paper where the victim's family promises the kidnappers that they won't go to the cops after the hostage's release, and even if he is kidnapped again in future. The bizarre sequence of events dates back to August 19 when 14-year-old Saddam went missing from outside his house in Ratupura village near Moradabad in the heart of UP's badlands. After a frantic search in the neighbourhood, the boy's father Bhure went to the police to lodge a kidnapping case. With their usual nonchalance, the cops told the desperate father to hunt for the boy himself. Left to his own devices, Bhure made inquiries but drew a blank. Then, on September 2, he was told that his son was spotted moving around with some eunuchs in a vehicle in a locality about 80 km from Ratupura village. Bhure rushed there to meet up with the eunuchs and miraculously found his son lying unconscious in a house. "When I asked them to give me my son, they started abusing me. Things came to a point where they even tried to assault me. But I kept begging them for mercy. I told them Saddam was my only hope for the future," Bhure told TOI on phone from Moradabad. Before the gang of eunuchs agreed to free Saddam, the father said, they made him sign an agreement on a stamp-paper that next time if they managed to kidnap the boy, Bhure would neither try to claim him back nor go to the cops or initiate legal action. The eunuchs told Bhure that they had bought Saddam from a woman in Ratupura village for Rs 2,000. Bhure denied he had paid a ransom to secure his son's release, but sources in the village said Rs 5,000 had changed hands. "Woh log ne mere larke ko hijra banane ja rahe thhey. Woh log waheen, apne ghar par hi operation kar dete hain (They were planning to turn Saddam into a eunuch. They conduct such surgeries at their home)," Bhure said. If kidnapping has become a business, then methods have taken on modern business practices. In Bihar, where abductions are common, kidnappers have been sympathetic in claiming ransoms — they've allowed the victim's families to stagger payments in equated monthly instalments (EMI), just like people pay off housing loans. In one case, kidnappers are known to have kept some LIC policies as collaterals. When asked about Saddam's kidnapping, UP police confirmed the incident but said they could do little about such incidents. "I know it will sound stupid, but you tell me, what can we do in this?" asked an officer posted at Thakurdwara police station in Moradabad, where a case has now been registered in connection with the incident. "Yes, there is a mention of Bhure having been made to sign an agreement on stamp-paper by the eunuchs in the FIR. Bhure had even told me about this. But because the accused eunuchs are untraceable, we are yet to recover it or discover its legal status," said inspector Sunil Kumar, in-charge of the Thakurdwara police station.

[h4]"Dead" man wakes up under autopsy knife[/h4] CARACAS (Reuters) - A Venezuelan man who had been declared dead woke up in the morgue in excruciating pain after medical examiners began their autopsy. Carlos Camejo, 33, was declared dead after a highway accident and taken to the morgue, where examiners began an autopsy only to realize something was amiss when he started bleeding. They quickly sought to stitch up the incision on his face. "I woke up because the pain was unbearable," Camejo said, according to a report on Friday in leading local newspaper El Universal. His grieving wife turned up at the morgue to identify her husband's body only to find him moved into a corridor -- and alive. Reuters could not immediately reach hospital officials to confirm the events. But Camejo showed the newspaper his facial scar and a document ordering the autopsy. http://uk.reuters.com/article/oddlyEnoughNews/idUKN149975820070914

Boy wakes up with posh accent after surgery A 10-year-old boy has woken up with a posh English accent after undergoing life-saving brain surgery. William McCartney-Moore's usual northern England accent was replaced with a much more refined tones complete with elongated vowels after he had an operation to remove fluid on his brain. William, who is from York, needed the surgery after falling ill with a rare strain of meningitis last March. "He survived the operation and the most amazing thing is that he came out of surgery with a completely different accent,'' his mother Ruth McCartney-Moore told the York Press newspaper. "He went in with a York accent and he came out all posh. "He no longer had short 'a' and 'u' vowel sounds. They were all long.'' Mrs McCartney-Moore said doctors initially thought her son was going to die. He lost everything, she said, including his ability to read, write and recognise different objects. But William began to recover after the operation and was out of hospital in about a month. "We went on a family holiday to Northumberland and he was playing on the beach and he said, 'Look, I've made a sand castle' but really stretched the vowels, which made him sound really posh,'' Mrs McCartney-Moore said. "We all just stared back at him - we couldn't believe what we had heard, because he had a Yorkshire accent before his illness. "He had no idea why we were staring at him - he just thought he was speaking normally.'' Doctors said changes to people's accents after surgery were rare. The central speech centre of William's brain could have changed, they said.

Yes Bihari criminals are so uderstanding :giggle: These days those gangs have started their own banks and they force you to deposit ur savings in their bank, that's all. They apprently not run away with your money just give you less interest and may be lesser financial security. Then they invest that money in following business. If you have brawns to collect money in eventuality of pricnipal disappearing; which doesn't happen too often; then certain shady businessmen give you 500 rs interest payback every month over an investment of Rs 5000. Yes you heard me right it's 120% rate of return.. Forget mutual funds with investment in South america or Russia, welcome to Bihar

[h1]Doc parents kill younger son to make elder 'smarter'[/h1] Atishay Abbhi / CNN-IBN Published on Wednesday, October 10, 2007 at 22:24 in Nation section Rohtak (Haryana): It's a tragic victory of blind faith and superstition over science and logic that cost a 12-year-old boy his life. The boy was killed by his own parents, Ashok and Pramila Malik - both of them doctors in Haryanas Rohtak - all because a tantrik (quack) told Pramila that she needs to transfuse the boy's blood into the body of his older brother to help him pass his medical exams. Pramila and her Ashok made a cut in an artery in their younger son's neck and tried to transfuse the blood into the older one. The younger son started losing blood and had to be admitted to a local medical institute where he died. Malik now denies the charges. We did no blood transfusion. Its a big lie, he says. The doctor couple told the police a different story. They said they were attacked by burglars the day their son died. But further investigations revealed the story was not true. It was also revealed that that Pramila was highly superstitious and frequently took advice from tantriks and gurus. When we carried out our investigation, we figured the statement didnt gel with the evidence. There was kerosene oil spilled all over the floor and we were told that Pramila claimed she often dreamt of a guru who would guide her, says SSP Rohtak, Hanif Qureshi. While Ashok has been remanded to police custody, Pramila and her elder son are at the moment in hospital. She is being treated for schizophrenia and he for his injuries. http://www.ibnlive.com/news/doc-parents-kill-younger-son-to-make-elder-smarter/50285-3.html
