COUPLE THAT DUMPED DEAD BABY IS ARRESTED

This post is related to one of my former posts, "Japanese Hospital Installs Drop Box for Unwanted Infants." Recently a couple in their 20's was arrested on charges relating to the death of their infant. Motoki Tamiya and his wife, Mika, 21, apparently left their baby in the baggage hold of a motorbike while they gambled. The infants was believed to have suffocated while in the storage compartment, while his parents were playing pacchinko. After the couple found the infant deaet, they dumped the body off a rural road in the mountains of western Japan.

- This kind of negligence just amazes me. I mean, there are alternatives.
Abortion is legal in Japan and also with the installation of the infant drop-box, why choose to let your baby die. Why not give him up, let him live.

SOFA BREAKS LAND SPEED RECORD FOR FURNITURE!

Edd China bested his own "world's fastest office" in comfort and in speed. Recently his sofa claimed the top spot in the Fastest Furniture category in the Guinness Book of World Records, reaching a top speed of 92 miles per hour. The driver won his place as such in an eBay auction. He described the run as "terrifying, " and adding that "you feel every bump...worse, you feel like you might take off." The record winning sofa is street-legal, and will apparently soon be driving the streets of West London to advertise Sofa.com.

GRANNY GRADUATES FROM COLLEGE!

Nola Ochs,95, from Kansas made history this month by becoming the world's oldest-ever recipient of a bachelor's degree. She received her degree in General Studies and History. Ochs began taking classes via correspondence at the age of 67, after her husband's death. She eventually moved onto the campus, living with other students, the same age as her great-great-grandchildren. She hopes that her accomplishment inspires others into seeking further learning.



- I think this is amazing! I often hear other adults complaining that they would love to go back to school, but feel that they are too old। I've always said, that isn't so. It's never too late to finish your education, as humans we never stop learning. You just have to decide what you want to do, what your goals are...and then go after them!

WHO'S AFRAID TO BE NAKED

Apparently according to a study...1/3 of all women are too shy to be naked in front of their partners, another 1/3 believe they are too fat to be seen naked by their lovers. 1 out of 10 women is so embarrassed that they lock the door to keep their partner from coming in unannounced.

But men....."2/3 of men said they regularly walk around the house without a stitch on."

- I can't believe this. Not that you want to hear this....but I'm not ashamed of my body..and I'm not afraid to be nude. Women need to loosen up. Don't be ashamed of your body...and if your partner loves you, they will love you and all your imperfections. Often imperfections are more beautiful than perfection.

MMMMM....DEEP FRIED TESTICLES

It seems that in Wisconsin they love to deep-fry. They have deep-fried cheese, candy bars, and twinkies...and now add deep-fried testicles to that menu as well. Recently, more than 300 willing people actually paid $5.00 for an all you can eat goat, lamb, and bull testicles. This was at thee 9th Annual Testicle Festival at Mama's Place Bar and Grill in Elderon, Wisconsin. It is documented in the article that they are now up to frying 100 pounds of testicles a year.
One guy was quoted as saying, "After a few beer, you can't really tell the difference." This particular patron enjoys his "nuts" between bread, like a meatball sandwhich.

- I for one...say no way to eating testicles. I couldn't do it...I don't even eat "game" animals. I'm very particular about the meat I do eat. Yuck!
But hey, whatever you like I guess.
