What-Priest dies while marrying couple
A Roman Catholic priest dropped dead at the altar before a couple exchanged their vows in Germany over the weekend. Grzegorz Wieczorek, 47, collapsed while he delivered a prayer at the St. Lambert church in Bavaria on Saturday, the Munich-based Merkur newspaper reported.
Wieczorek hit his head on the stone floor in front of the shocked couple and their nearly 100 guests. "It was like something out of a movie," organist Andrea Wittmann told The Local newspaper. The Polish priest is believed to have suffered a heart attack, the Merkur reported.Many of the guests had travelled great distances to be there, so the bride and groom — from Germany and Italy, respectively — decided to continue the ceremony several hours later with another priest at a different church.
Frat suspended over alleged alcohol enemas
A fraternity at the University of Tennessee is being investigated after some members allegedly gave each other alcohol enemas over the weekend. The university suspended its Phi Kappa Alpha chapter on Monday for 30 days or until the university makes a decision about the frat's future, the Tennessean newspaper reported. On Saturday, a 20-year-old student was dropped off at the university's medical centre at around 1:30 a.m. with a blood alcohol level greater than 0.4, the Tennessean reported. He was in critical condition and non-responsive. He has since been released from hospital. Police went to the frat house and found others, including three men, passed out. After conducting interviews, police determined that the frat members had used rubber tubing to give each other alcohol enemas, a practice police said hastens alcohol's entry into the bloodstream.
Caught-Man Tries to Sneak into Spain Disguised as Car Seat
A man who skillfully attempted to conceal himself inside a car seat was busted trying to sneak into Spain illegally last week, the Daily Mail reported. The 20-year-old immigrant from the West African country of Guinea reportedly went to great lengths to hide from border patrol at the Beni-Enzar crossing between Morocco and the Spanish enclave of Melilla. He and the two other Moroccan men with him appeared to have pulled apart the car’s passenger seat cushioning, leaving only the metal frame, the Mail reported. The man then slid in behind the caging and one of his co-smugglers sat on top of him, the paper reported. Even police who detained the trio had to hand it to them, calling their efforts to get by undetected “unique and innovative.”
Dumb-'Fake pilot' who travelled for free across Europe arrested
Wearing a homemade captain’s uniform and using fake ID, the 32-year-old Italian set up a Facebook page under the name Andrea Sirlo. Police were alerted to the scam after 'Sirlo' introduced himself as captain to an aviation lieutenant, who became suspicious of his young age. 'On at least one occasion in 2012, pretending to be a pilot of a foreign commercial airline, and with a fake name, he succeeded in flying as the third pilot in the cockpit,' police said in a statement. He sat as the third pilot on an Air Dolomiti plane from Munich to Turin in April but did not touch the jet’s controls, say police. The man, whose real name has not been released, has been charged with endangering air transport security, while further claims he hitched rides on other Lufthansa flights are also being investigated.The case echoes the film Catch Me If You Can, in which Leonardo DiCaprio plays a conman posing as a pilot.
Wow-Councillor strips off for Milan Fashion Week
Showgirl-turned-councillor Nicole Minetti stunned audience members as she showed off creations by Para New Generation during Milan Fashion Week at the weekend. The 26-year-old representative for Lombardy caused a stir as she strutted her stuff and posed for snappers in a number of rather revealing bikinis. Minetti rejected calls for her
resignation after her controversial public showing, claiming she didn't regret her actions. 'I haven't had any second thoughts, I won't resign from the PdL party,' Ms Minetti told journalists. She added: 'Fashion and politics can easily go hand-in-hand. Actually, I think politics serve fashion.' Moving on to discuss the upcoming elections, the former dental hygienist said if she were to vote she would choose PD candidate Matteo Renzi 'because he's young'.Earlier this year, she was accused of dressing as a nun before stripping down to her underwear at one of former premier Silvio Berlusconi’s infamous bunga bunga parties. The 75-year-old media magnate recruited Minetti after she treated him when he was assaulted during a political rally in Milan in 2009.
Surprise- McRib contains same chemical in yoga mats.
You know that old anti-smoking joke that kissing a smoker is like licking an ashtray?It turns out, wrapping your lips around a McDonald’s McRib is somewhat like eating a yoga mat. Time Magazine’s Healthland blog reports that among the McRib’s 70 ingredients are azodicarbonamide, ammonium sulfate and polysorbate 80. While the amounts are very small, the blog notes that azodicarbonamide, “a flour-bleaching agent that is most commonly used in the manufacture of foamed plastics like in gym mats and the soles of shoes, is found in the McRib bun.” The blog says azodicarbonamide is banned in Europe and Australia as a food additive.
