A New Jersey cook has been sentenced to 15 days in jail and two years probation after he put his chest and pubic hair into a sandwich to get back at a cop. Ryan Burke, 27, pleaded guilty Oct. 12 to aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer and retaliation for a past official action.

Hickey partially paralyzes New Zealand woman

A woman was partially paralyzed from a hickey that caused her to have a small stroke, the New Zealand Medical Journal said according to a media report. The 44-year-old New Zealander went to the emergency room after she found that she couldn't move her left arm while she was watching TV, The Christchurch Press reported. Doctors concluded that she had had a stroke but were perplexed as to why, the paper said. Then they found a "love bite" on her neck near a major artery, and discovered a clot in the artery beneath the hickey — a small vertical bruise.

"Because it was a love bite there would be a lot of suction," said Dr. Wu, who attended to the woman over a year ago at the Middlemore Hospital in Auckland, according to the paper. "Because of the physical trauma it had made a bit of bruising inside the vessel."

He added the clot traveled to the woman's heart and caused the stroke. "We looked at the medical literature and that example of having a love bite causing something like that hasn't been described before," Dr Wu said. The Maori woman was treated with an anticoagulant and the clot disappeared within a week, doctors said.

Lucky-Train cuts car in half — but driver walks away

PACOIMA, Calif. — A motorist fell asleep while his car was stopped on railroad tracks Thursday — but survived uninjured when a Union Pacific cargo train cut his vehicle in half. The driver, an elderly man, was uninjured but was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving, Sgt. Dave Mascarenas of the Los Angeles Police Department Valley Traffic division told the newspaper. The man drove his Hyundai Sonata past the caution arm of the tracks. A 59-car train struck the car and ripped it in half, leaving the driver in the rear part, Mascarenas said. The force of the accident caused the tracks underneath the train to bend and buckle all the way to its destination in Sylmar, he said.
