Bad-Man sues restaurant, alleges earwig in food

A man from suburban Quebec City is suing a restaurant for $6,000 after he says he nearly crunched down on an earwig that was crawling in his salad.

Alexandre Roy-Langlois said he was about to eat his salad at the chain restaurant St-Hubert Rotisserie in November when he realized he was sharing his meal with the small parasitic pest.

He filed a lawsuit for "moral damages," claiming he became "sick to the stomach" at the sight of the earwig. Roy-Langlois also claims that he has been unable to eat salads in restaurants since the alleged encounter. "I'm very careful about what I eat," reads his lawsuit, filed Tuesday at the Quebec City courthouse. 

 

Idea-Phony gas leak reported to bust suspected cheater

A Pennsylvania man faces charges after he reported a phony gas leak at his girlfriend's apartment, apparently in an effort to reveal the other man he believed she was hiding inside, police say.

The 36-year-old Dawson, Pa., man was charged Sunday with false alarms to a public safety agency and false identification to police, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported.

Officers responded to the gas leak call Saturday afternoon. According to the newspaper, police said a woman in the apartment told officers she didn't report a leak but that her boyfriend had recently stopped by her residence and attempted to get inside. When she wouldn't let him in, he tried to enter by force and told her would call the gas company, police told the paper.

At the adjoining residence, police asked a man if there was a gas leak. The man first gave a false identity before admitting there was no gas leak, police told the Tribune-Review. Police said he told officers he called in the false gas leak because he believed his girlfriend had another man in the apartment. 

How- Man accused of using fake Jack Nicholson ID

Brazilian police say a suspected fraudster is accused of using a fake ID with a photo of Jack Nicholson. Ricardo Sergio Freire de Barros, 41, more than 30 years younger than the Oscar-winning actor, was arrested Tuesday in the city of Recife after police tracked him for three months as part of a fraud investigation, CNN reports. Police Chief Erivaldo Guerra said the suspect allegedly used fake IDs to open and default on high-limit bank accounts and credit cards.

The fake ID has a straight-faced picture of the 74-year-old American actor with the name Joao Pedro dos Santos, police said. Nicholson, 74, is a two-time Academy Award winner for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and As Good as It Gets. Barros is charged with the use of false documents and falsification of a public document.

How-DUI driver with sex toy in tush rear-ends other driver

A driver with a "sexual anus plug in his rectum" was jailed after investigators say he rear-ended another driver and had more than five times the legal limit of alcohol in his blood, according to a recently released arrest affidavit. What could be called the case of the soused driver with the sex toy in his hindquarters happened about 11:20 a.m. Feb. 24 as Martin County Sheriff's investigators went to a two-vehicle crash at U.S. 1 and

Seabranch Boulevard

in Hobe Sound.

A deputy determined Kevin Brann, 41, had rear-ended another vehicle. Officials also determined Brann smelled strongly of alcohol. Brann's speech was slurred and mumbled, his eyes bloodshot and glassy. A deputy gave Brann, who'd urinated in his pants, field sobriety exercises before arresting him on a DUI with property damage charge. Brann "soiled himself" en route to the slammer."The defendant had a sexual anus plug in his rectum, which he removed, or it fell out in the rear of my patrol car," an affidavit states.The length, girth and color of the "sexual anus plug in his rectum" was not listed in the affidavit. Also not specified was the make and model of the plug and an explanation of how it ended up in his bottom.At the jail, investigators measured Brann's blood alcohol content at 0.409 and 0.412 -- more than five times the legal limit of 0.08.

Brann, of the 6800 block of  Southeast Bunker Hill Drive
in Hobe Sound, was arrested on a DUI with property damage charge.

How-Man Drinks Gasoline From Jar, Dies After Lighting Cigarette

North Carolina man died after he accidentally drank from a jar of gasoline then smoked a cigarette, police said. Havelock police received a 911 call about 9:55 p.m. Monday after 43-year-old Gary Allen Banning set himself on fire. Banning was transported to UNC Burn Center in Chapel Hill, where he died early Tuesday morning. City spokeswoman Diane Miller said investigators believe Banning was at a friend's apartment when he apparently mistook a jar of gasoline sitting by the kitchen sink for a beverage. After taking a gulp, he spit the gas out and got some on his clothes. Sometime later, investigators say Banning went outside to smoke a cigarette and burst into flame. Havelock police and the city fire marshal are continuing their investigation.

 LOL-Woman suffering from bizarre disorder eats 4,000 washing-up sponges and 100 bars of soap

Dental nurse Kerry Trebilcock has eaten 4,000 washing-up sponges and more than 100 bars of soap due to a rare disorder. The 21-year-old loves nothing more than covering them in hot sauce, Ketchup or mustard for added flavour and also dips them in tea or hot chocolate like biscuits.

Her disorder - known as pica - is so bad that she gets hungry while taking a shower, doing the washing-up or just walking down the cleaning aisle in supermarkets. The disorder causes victims to crave objects that are not food and other sufferers eat metal, coal, sand, chalk — or even lightbulbs and furniture. Kerry, of Mylor, Cornwall, believes she got the bizarre disorder after being infected with hookworm while on holiday to Morocco in 2008.

Her favourite bar of soap is organic lemon and lime and Kerry said: "I have been very particular about the type of sponges and soaps I'd eat and how I'd prepare them."If I went out for the day I'd carry a small plastic bag of cut-up pieces of sponge with some tomato and BBQ sauce in Tupperware. I was never without a 'snack'."Speaking about the first time she ate a sponge Kerry said: "After one dinner where I ate a double helping of lasagne and a tub of ice cream, I still felt hungry."To distract myself, I decided to wash the dishes. I took out a new sponge from a packet and had an overwhelming desire to eat it.

Wow-Waiter pours cold beer over Chancellor Merkel (video)

YOUNG German waiter endured the ultimate professional nightmare when he accidentally poured a tray full of beer over Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Video of the incident, which circulated widely on German news websites overnight, showed the unfortunate 21 year old, identified only by his first name Martin, serving Europe's most powerful woman at a Christian Democratic Union meeting in Demmin, northeast Germany, last week.

But disaster struck when the waiter went to place a tall glass of beer on Merkel's table. He lost his balance, let the tray slip, and sent four glasses of beer down the back of the chancellor's neck and black coat.
