Workers' compensation for woman's sex injury and Sex robots the future of sex tourism

IDEA-Banker kept dating spreadsheet to keep track of his eight girls

A banker who kept a creepy computer log of eight women he was dating put his foot in it when he showed it to one of them. David Merkur, 28, set up a spreadsheet detailing the characteristics of the women he met on a website and even compiled reports about their meetings.

But after getting on famously with a girl called Arielle, he emailed her the document - and it has now become an internet sensation.David, who works for finance firm Ladder Capital, wrote to Arielle: "Well, this could be a mistake, but what the hell... figured I might as well give you the whole thing."I hope this email doesn't backfire, because I really had a great time and hope to hang again soon :)"The New Yorker listed the women in alphabetical order and detailed his thoughts on their physical

appearances, giving each a score out of ten, with some being awarded a 7.0 or 7.5 for their "mixed bag of pictures" on the match.com dating website they all used.

How this is possible-Sex robots the future of sex tourism

Sex workers in Amsterdam will have a hard time finding work if two New Zealand academics' vision of the future comes true. "In 2050, Amsterdam's red light district will all be about android prostitutes who are clean of sexual transmitted infections, not smuggled in from Eastern Europe and forced into slavery, the city council will have direct control over android sex workers controlling prices, hours of operations and sexual services," write futurologist Ian Yeoman and sexologist Michelle Mars. The duo's paper, Robots, Men And Sex Tourism, published in the journal Futures, centres on an imaginary future sex club in Amsterdam called Yub-Yum.

It posits that sex tourists will dish out big cash for all-inclusive robot sex romps.

This will be a big win for Amsterdam, they say, as the city will keep drawing huge swaths of randy tourists willing to empty their pockets, but avoid all the downsides, like drugs, violence and underage exploitation. The sex-bots will even be made from bacteria resistant fibre, the Victoria University of Wellington academics predict. Mars is a sex expert who discusses topics like designer vaginas. Yeoman is a professor of tourism management and author of the book Tomorrow's Tourist, in which he predicts that by 2030 "China will be the world's largest tourism destination, holidays in outer space will be the ultimate luxury experience, extreme Swedish ironing will be an Olympic sport, embedded technologies will be the norm in future tourists and skiing in the Alps will be no more."

Why he did-Criminal framed quite literally himself

A British criminal was found in a friend's home after he framed himself, police say.

When Manchester police entered Jordan Sim-mutch's home on Dec. 21, they knew they had the right place because they discovered "an ornately framed picture above the fireplace" which contained a newspaper article with the fugitive's mugshot and the fact he was on the run from police.Police found the fugitive and Sim-mutch hiding in a kitchen cupboard.

"Not only did this fugitive frame himself — quite literally — he also unintentionally framed Sim-mutch in the process," Const. Mike Lawler said Friday after Sim-mutch was sentenced to a community order and a two-month curfew."While Sim-mutch has always denied any involvement with the picture itself, the fact that a framed picture of his friend's mugshot proclaiming him a wanted man was staring down at Sim-mutch from atop of his fireplace means he knew full well he was harbouring a fugitive."Police said it's believed the criminal friend framed the newspaper clipping. "Why this man decided to frame his own appeal is anyone's guess — perhaps it was a badge of honour, or perhaps he just enjoyed the notoriety of seeing his picture in the paper. Whatever the motivation, this act of utter vanity pretty much handed Sim-mutch and the fugitive to us on a plate," Lawler said.

What a way to get injury-Workers' comp for woman's sex injury

An Australian woman who was injured while having sex in her hotel room during a business trip will get workers' compensation. Justice John Nicholas ruled the woman, who was not named, was injured during the course of her employment, the website news.com.au reported.

Nicholas said if the woman had been injured playing cards in her room, she would have been entitled to compensation. Getting injured during sex should be no different.

The woman was injured in Nov. 2007 when she and a male friend returned to her hotel room after dinner. In his statement, the man said the two were "going hard" when a glass light fixture above the bed came away from the wall and fell on the woman's face. He was unsure whether they bumped the light, or it just fell off. The woman was seeking workers' compensation for facial and psychological injuries but her claim was denied by her employer. 

 

Why-Pilot Forgot to Lower Landing Gear

The pilot of an Australian passenger flight forgot to lower the plane's wheels for landing because he was too busy texting, a government inquiry has found.In its report, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau report said that the distracted captain and fatigued co-pilot of a Jetstar Airways flight to Singapore failed to complete their landing checklist, The Age reported.

At less than 400 feet from the ground, they had to take the emergency measure of reascending to try again, the report said. The investigators found that as the plane descended from 2800 feet to 1000 feet in altitude over the span of about two minutes, the pilots took no necessary preparations for landing — including lowering the landing gear.The board said that around 2500 or 2000 feet, the captain's cell phone began beeping with incoming texts. The captain didn't respond to the co-pilot's requests, and when the co-pilot looked over, he saw his captain "preoccupied" with his phone, the report said.

An Argentine woman found her premature baby alive in a morgue 12 hours after medical staff told her it was stillborn. Analia Bouter was just six months pregnant when she went to hospital in the city of Resistencia last week to give birth, reports Todo Noticias TV.

The baby girl — Bouter's fifth child — was pronounced dead and taken to the morgue, where she was placed in a refrigerated drawer. Bouter said she thought she was hallucinating when she and husband Fabian Veron went to say a final goodbye and she heard a whimper and saw signs of life, the report said.

What a timing-Man proposes to partner in court as she is sent down for stabbing him

A man who forgave his partner for nearly killing him when she plunged a kitchen knife into his back brought an engagement ring to court today in the hope a judge would let her walk free.

But when Tiffany Baillie was sent to prison for three years at Hull Crown Court, Gregory Todd said he understood why a judge had no choice but to jail her. Chef Mr Todd, 48, wrote to the judge pleading with him to not to send Baillie to prison so he could give her the ring.

Mr Todd said he had forgiven Baillie, 32, for stabbing him with a "substantial" knife, seriously injuring him.

But he sat in the public gallery and watched as Judge Michael Mettyear sent her to jail after explaining how most crimes of this type attract much longer sentences.

Outside the courtroom, Mr Todd said he accepted the judge had to send Baillie to prison and praised him for his leniency.He said he was not allowed to go down into the cells at Hull Crown Court to show her the ring but added his barrister took it to his partner and he was relieved it fitted her.

Wow-Boy brings heroin to kindergarten show and tell (video)

A five-year-old boy brought packets of heroin to a show and tell at his Connecticut kindergarten, leading to the arrest of his stepfather, police said on Tuesday.

The child was proudly displaying packets of a powdery substance to his kindergarten classmates in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on Monday when his teacher noticed what he was holding, Detective Keith Bryant of the Bridgeport Police Department said.

“He was waving it around,” Bryant said, adding that the teacher collected the packets and immediately notified her supervisors.Authorities were called and a field test determined the substance was heroin, he said. Later, the child’s stepfather, Santos Roman, 35, showed up at the school and was arrested.“He went to retrieve it (the heroin), and it wasn’t there so he came back for his stepson,” Bryant said.Roman was arraigned on Tuesday on three drug-possession charges, including intent to sell within 1,500 feet (457 meters) of a school

Try new- Hot dog stuffed-crust pizza (Juk of all time)

Hot-dog-stuffed pizza crusts are a thing now, and society is going to have to shoulder some of the blame for this one. We laughed at the Taco Bell Dorito taco shell; we maybe even tried the KFC Double Down. Should there have been an intervention the first time someone fried a Mars bar?

This pizza is real; it’s right there on the bottom of Pizza Hut U.K.’s delivery menu. And it isn’t a pizza crust with hot dog seasoning, or with diced hot dogs mixed in. It’s a regular pizza with a giant hot dog threaded through the crust like elastic through the waistband of society's pants.

What more-Maid service offers something extra: nudity?

Maid service in Texas is offering something a little more than just a clean house: nude maids.

Fantasy Maid Service of Lubbock bills itself as offering "nude or topless maid service." It charges $100 a hour for one maid and $150 an hour for two. ("We also do parties!" It recommends hiring at least two maids for that.)It also prominently crows about offering discounts for the police. ("Ask about our law enforcement discount!")Which is probably a good thing because, as the Associated Press reported, police in Lubbock are keeping close tabs on the business. Police Sgt. Jonathan Stewart told the AP that Fantasy Maid Service does not have a permit to operate a sexually oriented business in the staunchly conservative city and could get a $2,000 fine for any violations.Fantasy Maid Service takes great pains on its website to make it clear that it "is not a sexually oriented business."

"DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SOLICIT A MAID FOR SEXUAL SERVICES," the website states, in ALL CAPS, so that you can't miss it.

Further down it also exhorts customers to remain clothed, unless you are a nudist.

What a scary surprise-Pilot: 'I've got snakes on a plane'

An Australian pilot had to make an unplanned landing only 20 minutes after takeoff after a snake slithered out of the dashboard into the cockpit. Pilot Braden Blennerhassett spotted the snake about 20 minutes after takeoff from the Darwin Airport on an Air Frontier cargo flight Tuesday afternoon, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported. "Lo and behold, in between the instrument panel and the dashboard, a stowaway came on board and it took me a while to register that it was actually a snake," Blennerhassett told the broadcaster Thursday. "I turned (the plane) around and got it headed back towards Darwin there and said, 'Look, you're not going to believe this. I've got snakes on a plane." A character played by Samuel L. Jackson found himself in a similar situation in the widely parodied 2006 action-thriller Snakes on a Plane.

At first, air traffic control didn't believe him, Blennerhassett said, but they started to take him seriously when he asked for a snake handler to meet the plane.

 Blennerhassett was alone on the plane, flying a solo cargo flight, when the un-ticketed passenger popped out.  Air Frontier director Geoffrey Hunt told ABC the plane will be grounded until staff find -- and remove -- the snake.

Very nice deal-Buy your own zip code: U.S. towns for sale

SALMON, Idaho – Buford, Wyoming, the nation’s smallest town, will lose its long-time - and only - resident on Thursday when the outpost along Interstate 80 is auctioned off to the highest bidder. The minimum bid for Buford, 10-plus acres with a convenience store-cum-gas station situated between the capital city of Cheyenne and Laramie, Wyoming, is $100,000 for a sale to take place in town at noon local time. Buford is one of two tiny Western towns to be sold by owners whose spouses have died and whose adult children have moved on.

Pray, Montana, population 8, is on the market for $1.4 million, a price realtors say is a steal for property just north of Yellowstone National Park in the scenic Paradise Valley.

Both communities sprang to life amid Western settlement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when railroads brought people, supplies and prosperity to frontier towns, some of which failed to flourish despite hype by land speculators. “It’s a quintessentially American story, with westward expansion and land speculation so tightly entwined and towns that boom and bust,” said Stephen Aron, professor of history at University of California, Los Angeles and chair of the Institute for the Study of the American West at the Autry National Center. Don Sammons and his wife, Terry, set out from Los Angeles to a ranch near Buford in 1980 seeking a relaxed rural lifestyle.

The couple drove into the high-elevation town - then owned by an elderly rancher - in a lipstick-red Lincoln Continental. The vehicle, ill-suited to the area’s deep snows and high winds, led locals to surmise Sammons would leave within six months.

What a new way to get interview-Boss faces jail for naked job interviews

A COFFEE bar owner in northern England tried to conduct face-to-face interviews with female job hunters while he was naked. David Richards was facing a jail sentence today after he admitted inviting three female would-be baristas to Rioco's coffee bar in the city of York, then greeting them in the nude.The 53-year-old sent text messages to two teenagers, aged 15 and 16, and a woman in her 30s, who were interested in a job, and arranged to "interview" them on separate days, The York Press reported.When each applicant knocked on the door of his office, Richards was naked, Prosecutor Rob Galley told York Crown Court.

He told them he was in the middle of getting dressed but then attempted to proceed with the job interview without any clothes on. All three of the shocked applicants fled the premises and

complained to the police, who arrested the businessman. Richards initially protested his innocence, but on the day of his trial, he changed his plea and pleaded guilty to three charges of indecent exposure. Judge Stephen Ashurst ordered probation officers to assess the risk Richards poses to other women before sentencing takes place later this month. He said of the three victims: Each was effectively tricked into going to his work premises.

What a nice idea-Big bra hunt for UK 

THE British charity Oxfam is calling on women in the UK to donate their unwanted bras to help females in West Africa. British women are hoarding nearly STG1.2 billion ($A1.85 billion) worth of unworn bras, or nine each, according to Oxfam. The charity's Big Bra Hunt aims to collect one million bras during April with the support of celebrities including Dame Helen Mirren, Zoe Ball and Miquita Oliver.Many of the bras will be sold in Oxfam's high-street shops across the UK to raise money for

the charity's work worldwide. Others will be sent to the charity's Frip Ethique (ethical second-hand clothing) project in Senegal. Oxfam said the complex manufacturing required to make bras meant very few developing countries produced their own, making them one of the most desirable items in West African second-hand clothing markets.A poll for Oxfam found that one-third of all women who have bras they no longer wear keep them because they forget they own them. Ten per cent did not know charities accepted second-hand bras.Oxfam's head of retail brand Sarah Farquhar said: "The Big Bra Hunt hopes to highlight that whilst these bras may not be of use to the average British woman, the jobs created and profits made from the trade and sale of these bras provide a unique opportunity for women in West Africa to provide for their families, send their kids to school and afford vital medicines.''

Very very strange-Petrified postmen ordered to stay away from Snowball the cat

Following a thorough investigation the Royal Mail has stopped its workers from delivering mail to the address after labelling the black and white moggy a 'health and safety risk'.

Despite being described as 'absolutely harmless' by owner Ian Wilkinson, the UK's postal service said Snowball posed an 'unacceptably high level of risk'.

Royal Mail said three employees suffered 'quite deep cuts' after all being attacked by the 10inch tall feline. Mr Wilkinson, 46, said he was shocked when he received a letter from Royal Mail saying its workers would no longer be delivering mail to his home in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. The letter said the postal ban will continue until he has found a way of stopping Snowball from attacking its workers. The computer analyst said: 'It’s utterly ridiculous.

'I have never seen her attack a person. Sometimes she sniffs people’s feet when they come over for dinner - that’s as vicious as she gets.'

Very Lucky-Woman's silence fuels $656 million lottery claim doubts

Baltimore woman who says she holds one of three winning tickets in the record $656 million lottery held her own news conference on Wednesday but declined to answer questions or produce any proof of the winning ticket — fuelling doubts about her bizarre story.

Mirlande Wilson, 37, arrived at her lawyer’s office nearly an hour late dressed in a stretchy pink shirt, Capri pants and a baseball cap emblazoned with a cartoon pig and the words “Sweet Swine.” Wilson sat silently - sometimes fiddling with her cell phone - while her lawyer pleaded with the media to let his client return to a “normal life” and deflected questions surrounding her bizarre story about winning the Mega Millions jackpot. Wilson has yet to produce the ticket, and even her attorney said he has no visible proof of the ticket. Lottery officials have said three winning tickets were sold in Illinois, Kansas and Maryland but no one has produced a winning ticket yet. “I have not seen it,” said her lawyer, Edward Smith, Jr. “In fact, I don’t think I want to see it until the lottery people have it in their hot little hands.”  He said Wilson showed up late because she had gone to her physician due to “all of the pressure that she’s experienced over the last couple of days.” He would not answer questions about her background, but said she is originally from a village in Haiti.
